| Quote: |
While rattling through the bustling streets of New York City in a yellow cab, filmmaker Marc Levin (SLAM) discovered the idea for his next film from an unlikely source. Striking up a conversation with his Egyptian taxi driver, Levin was unnerved when the conversation turned to the events of September 11, 2001. Angrily informing the filmmaker that he believed no Jews had died in the terrorist attacks on that day, the cabbie explained that they had all been warned of the event in advance so they could stay safely home. Levin subsequently turned to the 100-year-old book THE PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION, which was exposed as a forgery in the 1920s, but is still followed by a disconcertingly large number of anti-Semites across the globe.
After examining the book--which was furtively written by the Russian Secret Police, and was alleged to be the meeting minutes of a group of Jews who were hell-bent on world domination--Levin decided to explore some of the protocols in his film. Traveling across America with his father, Levin encounters various hate-filled figures, and attempts to understand their feelings toward Jews. His most entertaining, Michael Moore-like excursions take place in New York City, where he encounters people whose oddball behavior does a fine job of discrediting their views, and attends a discussion group about Mel Gibson's THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST. However, these moments are tempered by some jaw-dropping footage of an Egyptian TV mini-series based on the PROTOCOLS book and the Malaysian prime minister paraphrasing from the pages in 2003. Creating a fascinating and worthwhile film, Levin sensibly discounts various crackpot theories, but makes it clear that many of the people who spread anti-Semitic feeling remain worryingly influential.

This is a docu film that I am most interested in seeing. The Protocols do not have any legitimacy in the West (particularly in academia) but they have taken on a life of their own in the Arab world where that are sadly viewed as being fact. Of course they are still held as being true by the far right and some religious loonies (possibly Mel's daddy). |

It's obvious that Marc Levin is a both a tool of the ZOG and Mossad.
It's the only really plausible reason for him to want to make a film about that.
And where's he getting the funding for it? Everyone knows the the film industry (and the entire entertainment industry in general) is controlled by Jews.
And, well- Levin. Might as well be Goldstein. Need I say more?
...and that's the problem with trying to convince conspiracy theorists- you can't. They're both idiots and suckers and there's one born every minute.
Still, I'll look forward to see his film, I just don't have any hope that it will convince anyone who has already made up their mind that Jews (and/or their Semetic bretheren the Arabs, particularly the Muslim ones) are responsible for everything wrong with the world. |

Didn't Marlon Brando get in trouble for saying that a few years ago? |

Could dispelling hatred be a motivator too? There are more than Jews who want the security of Israel. Christians are commanded by God to pray for the peace of Israel everyday. |

Politically incorrect. |

Politically incorrect, my ass. As Malaysia's Mahatir said two years ago to wild applause:
"--the Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them".
Please. Anti-Semitism is flourishing once again, just not in the United States. |

| "Nevertheless, some people continue to view it as factual, especially in parts of the world where anti-Semitism, anti-Judaism, or anti-Zionism are widespread. It is frequently quoted and reprinted by anti-Semites, and is sometimes used as evidence of Jewish conspiracy, especially in the Middle East." |

RE: Brando's comment about "the Jews" controlling Hollywood.
Take a close and measuredly objective look at the North American media, both Hollywood and "other," and say it ain't so.
The fact is, the tendrils of control are there; how often they are used is another matter entirely--not only highly debatable, but highly contentious.
And for the record (shame on me for even having to proclaim it): I am not an anti-Semite, nor am I a racist. I am a realist. |

A self-professed realist eh? Excellent.
So what exactly's a "semite"? |
