The European Parliament has refused to distribute to MEP’s a book denouncing the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, an anti-Semitic literary forgery.
Produced by the Okhrana, the Russian Czar’s secret police, in 1905, the Protocols accuse the Jews of plotting to rule the world.
Last month, the Transatlantic Institute, a Brussels-based think-tank fostering ties among the EU, Israel and the US, sent copies of “The Plot: The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” written by American Will Eisner in a comic-book form, to the 785 members of the European Parliament and their staff.
The “Plot” aims to shed light on the Protocols and the damage and suffering they have caused throughout history, as well as the negative impact they are having today. The Institute added to the package an eight-page essay written by its director, Emmanuele Ottolenghi, about the Protocols, entitled “The lie that will not die.”
“It was meant to explain the importance of learning the truth about the Protocols due to their ongoing global nefarious influence, especially in the Middle East,” Ottolenghi, told EJP.
Ottolenghi said he received a letter from an official of the European Parliament’s Presidency services, saying that the EU body is not going to distribute the package “due to the nature of its content”.
