Axis: Bold as hate

May 2, 2004 Posted by Scott at 6:58 AM

When the UN's man in Iraq -- the amazing Brandini -- was quoted recently describing Israeli policy as the biggest poison in the region, he unintentionally provided an occasion to think about the area's true poisons. We noted Brandini's comment in "Brandini speaks."

In the fall of 2002 Egyptian televison aired a blockbuster 41-part television series based on "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the anti-Semitic Czarist forgery that has become a tremendously popular work in the Arab Middle East. The series was titled "Horseman Without a Horse." Jay Nordlinger commented at the time:

I bring you good news from the Middle East! Egyptian television is airing a blockbuster series based on "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," that 19th-century Czarist forgery that has acted so widely — and so long — as a poison. And The Matzah of Zion, the blood-libel-perpetuating tract by the Syrian defense minister — Mustafa Tlass — continues to sell like hotcakes. It was the big hit at the recent Damascus book fair (helluva selection there, must have been).

Ladies and gentlemen, the fact is unavoidable: The Arab region is psychotic. And ain’t nothing that no one can do about it. That one can see, anyway.

The invaluable MEMRI has now posted excerpts from a new documentary series running during the first two weeks of April on Iranian television: "Iranian TV Series Based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the Jewish Control of Hollywood."

MEMRI notes that the series aired throughout the first two weeks of April on the Iranian TV station Al-Alam. The series purports to explain how the Jews control Hollywood by the directives set out in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The series also contains deep cultural criticism of the films produced under Jewish control in Hollywood. Consider the following revelation by Majed Shah Huseini regarding the deep meaning of "The Matrix":

"The Matrix was a meeting point between Hollywood and Jewish Zionist fundamentalism. In using The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers tried to embellish the ugly image of the State of Israel and to introduce the Zionist society as a utopian future society. The plot for The Matrix is derived from the teachings of Gush Emunim, or the fundamental Zionists. The agents' purpose in The Matrix is to arrest the resistance leader, Morpheus, in order to eliminate the Zionist resistance movement by obtaining the entrance code to its network. In the film The Matrix, Zion is regarded as the only sanctuary and as the center of human resistance in the third millennium. The film indirectly suggests to the viewers that all other beliefs and ideologies are null and void. This is the Zionist racism, which wants everything for itself and does not conceive of non-Jews as deserving to live and prosper. This is only a minuscule part of the proof of the political, religious, and biblical aspects of The Matrix."
The MEMRI excerpts contain much more of interest, and Roger L. Simon has an offbeat angle on them in "The Mullahs and Isaac Singer 'Agree'!"
