Special Dispatch No. 4136—Yemen/Conspiracy Theories/The Protocols of the Elders of Zion/Tom Lantos Archives on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial

Yemeni Columnist: The Uprisings in Arab World – A Jewish Conspiracy Documented in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion

In an article in the October 14 daily, Yemeni columnist 'Ali 'Abdallah Taher accused the Jews of instigating the uprisings in the Arab world, based on instructions written in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The following are excerpts from the article:

"In the period between 1897 and 1951, the Jewish leaders held 23 congresses. The last of them, held August 14, 1951, dealt with the plan for Jewish immigration to Palestine and with the boundaries of the new state that had been established in [this] occupied Arab land. At this congress, studies were presented and debates were held in order to approve a frightening secret plan for enslaving the world and subjugating it to Jewish control. They set out their decisions, plans and recommendations, as well as the protocols of their meetings, in a [document] titled "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," and erected barriers of secrecy around [these protocols], so that nobody would read them or disseminate them except for the elders of Zion."

Special Dispatch No. 4137—Egypt/Tom Lantos Archives on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial

Vice Chairman of Egypt's Al-Wafd Party Denies Holocaust

In an August 31, 2011 article in Al-Wafd, the daily of the Egyptian Al-Wafd party, the party's vice chairman, Ahmad 'Ezz Al-'Arab, presented translated excerpts from an article by Holocaust denier Jim Kirwan, and advised the readers to read Kirwan's other writings on the latter's website.

This is not the first time 'Ezz Al-'Arab has showcased Kirwan's writings. In an Al-Wafd article titled "The Jewish Holocaust – Between Fact and Fantasy," published August 14, 2009 and reprinted on November 6 of the same year, he presented another article by Kirwan denying the Holocaust.

Following are excerpts of both of 'Ezz Al-'Arab's articles citing Kirwan:

In his August 31 article, titled "The Ramshackle American Democracy," 'Ezz Al-'Arab wrote: "The well-known American writer Jim Kirwan has an extensive website with hundreds or perhaps thousands of articles. Many of them are devoted to the issue of defending freedom in his country, America. [Kirwan] exposes the fabrications which the spurious [U.S.] media uses to distract the American people, as well as the lies circulated by the political pressure gangs, chiefly the Jewish organizations, the most prominent of which is the famous AIPAC...

"Kirwan has rare courage, considering that he lives in New York, the stronghold of international Zionism. Despite this, he does not hesitate to expose Zionist lies, chiefly the fable of the Jewish Holocaust, [namely] the Zionist claim that Hitler exterminated six million Jews. Zionism, which has repeated this lie time and again, managed to turn it into an unquestionable truth in the Western countries. [The Jewish Holocaust has become] a sacred cow to which sacrifices are offered, to the point where several Western countries have amended their penal code such that attempting to deny the Holocaust or even the number 6 million... is a crime punishable by law.

"On November 6, 2009, I published in Al-Wafd conclusive evidence refuting [the veracity of] the Holocaust, citing Jim Kirwan. Anyone interested should refer to the aforementioned article."

Muhammad Abbas: "If the Egyptian army were capable of wiping Israel out, I wish it would. I demand that the army do the most that it can, but these are not the appropriate circumstances. We do not yet have the necessary array of systems, politicians, and intellectuals, who represent the nation and fear for it.

"Today, everybody is trying to get the army into trouble. I am afraid that the army will get into trouble. Oh army, do what you can. If you are capable of killing 70 of them in retaliation for each of our martyrs – do so. I demand that the army do its best, but it should not go too far, so that they do not destroy us. Remember the defeat of 1967.

"I wish we had the ability to take revenge. If we do, we should destroy them completely, and not leave a single one of them alive. Anyone who immigrated to Israel without the legal authorization of the Muslims must return to his country or be annihilated. 'And the stone shall say: There is a Jew behind me'…"

Interviewer: "The Al-Aqsa Mosque."

Muhammad Gamal: "Yes, they wanted to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to build the temple. So I wrote this poem, I don't know how it came to me."

MEMRI TV CLIP No. 3095 - Recently Resigned Egyptian Deputy PM Yahya Al-Gamal Insinuates that Judaism Is Not a Religion of Tolerance


Following are excerpts from an interview with recently resigned Egyptian deputy PM Dr. Yahya Al-Gamal, which aired on ON TV on August 21, 2011:

915d.JPG

Yahya Al-Gamal: "The issue of Mubarak's trial is undoubtedly a very important one. Some people call it "the trial of the century," which is true. Mubarak was a tyrant, who humiliated the people, and our Lord wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.

"I am one of the people who felt no sympathy toward him when he was placed on trial. None whatsoever. When I saw him lying in the bed, I realized that this was a charade, and that he was trying to arouse sympathy. But he achieved the opposite – people realized that it was a stupid charade.

"In Islam, there is a lot of tolerance, and Christianity is all tolerance. Of course, I said Islam and Christianity, and I stopped there... And I mean what I say."
