Sometimes it seems that Israel and the lobby have to recapitulate the entire history of Jewish suffering– but projected now on to the new Jews, the Arabs–so as to compensate for the tragedies Jews have experienced in the last century or two.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are of course a landmark of anti-Semitism, a Russian police forgery about Jewish power in the late 1800s. Kafka read it, and was terrified by it. Helped him write The Castle. Well now the Israeli Defense Forces are trying to keep up, according to Haaretz:
The Pope and the cardinals of the Vatican help organize tours of Auschwitz for Hezbollah members to teach them how to wipe out Jews, according to a booklet being distributed to Israel Defense Forces soldiers.
Officials encouraging the booklet’s distribution include senior officers, such as Lt. Col. Tamir Shalom, the commander of the Nahshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade.
The booklet was published by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, in cooperation with the chief rabbi of Safed, Rabbi Shmuel Eliahu, and has been distributed for the past few months.
The booklet, titled "On Either Side of the Border," purports to be the testimony of "a Hezbollah officer who spied for Israel."
Help us. Someone help my people. We can’t do this alone.
