The conspiracy theory is worth knowing *about*, insofar as it is used as a propaganda tool by Hezbollah and similar organisations, but I don't think you'd gain much by reading the Protocols itself.

It's a hoax. AFAIK, it was created by a Tsarist government officer to justify a few pogroms. The Nazis also used it as "evidence" against the Jews.

Can someone tell me in under five lines what it is?

Wikipedia wrote:The Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion is a document purporting to describe a plan to achieve Jewish global domination. The Protocols are an apparent forgery produced by the Tsarist Russian secret police, the Okhranka, in order to blame Jews for Russia's problems.

Vaguely related:

news.bbc.co.uk wrote:The Higher Broadcasting Council (CSA) is seeking approval from the Council of State - France highest administrative court - to have al-Manar temporarily suspended.

The CSA says the Criminal History of Zionism - broadcast in late 2003 - quoted extensively from the discredited 1897 publication the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, alluding to "Jewish ritual killings".

It wasn't until I started surfing Arabic news channels that I realised how rife with ultra-paranoid conspiracy theories (99% of which relate to Israel and the Jews) they actually are. The best one I've come across to date is that of the penis-melting Zionist robot combs.

That's like the cell phone call of deathwhich shut down Nigeria's cell network. I read a very funny article in a Dutch business weekly about the Nigerian cell providers working overtime to make their people stop believing crazy bullshit. Yeah, good luck with your messaging there. :oD

I wish that there was some massive Jewish conspiracy/organization that ruled the world. I'd be a lot richer and probably wouldn't have had nearly as rough of a time finding a job if there was one.
