Movie Review: Protocols of Zion
(filmcritic.com) Chris Barsanti - An Egyptian cab driver told filmmaker Marc Levin that no Jews had died on 9/11, and that Israel warned all Jews working at the World Trade Center to stay home that day. Levin listens in disbelief at Ground Zero as an activist repeats the 9/11 fallacy to him before launching into the standard-issue rant about how Jews control New York. Pointing out that Mayor Bloomberg's predecessor was Rudy Giuliani, the man doesn't miss a beat before saying, "You said it. Jew-liani." Levin is an excellent guide into this world of neo-Nazis and Muslim extremists where The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion - a fake concocted a century ago by czarist agents that purported to be a Jewish world domination blueprint - is assumed to be 100% true. As Levin shows, people have been debunking the Protocols since the 1920s, and nothing seems to stop it. As recently as 2003, a big-budget Egyptian miniseries adaptation was a huge hit across the Middle East.
