Hello and welcome to The Reckoning – Iran, Israel, America, and War. This podcast explores the relationships among these countries and the events that led to war in 2026. Crossroads of Hate is a five-part series that examines Western influences on Iranian anti-Semitic propaganda. This has been part of Iran’s information warfare against both Israel and the United States. The author is Mark Silinsky. This is the second episode in the series. It begins by examining the most notorious and enduring hoax in the history of anti-Semitism and the most targeted Jewish family. From there, it turns to blood libel and jinns. Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the Rothschilds The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is among the most notorious and enduring hoaxes in history. In turn-of-the-century Russia, the Tsar’s intelligence service published an account of an alleged global Jewish conspiracy. According to The Protocols, Jews convened an extraordinary congress in Basel, Switzerland, in 1897 to plan for global domination. Its first print run appeared in Paris in the early twentieth century, and it became a sensation. The Protocols were republished after World War I and again during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Henry Ford published parts of it as The International Jew in a newspaper he controlled in Michigan. The Nazi Party's philosopher, Alfred Rosenberg, quoted passages from The Protocols in his writings. In 1934, Hitler made The Protocols required reading in German schools. The Protocols' enduring power was evident in 1993, when the Russian antisemitic newspaper Pamyat was embroiled in a libel suit over the text's validity. Though much of the Protocols reads like a penny-dreadful Victorian-era novel, it perpetuated anti-Semitic stereotypes of the era. It has been translated into all major European languages, several Asian languages, Arabic, and Persian. Ayatollah Khomeini, Hitler, Sayyid Qutb, and Yassir Arafat quoted liberally from the Protocols. Iranian leaders, professors, and cultural critics still do. Iranian film critic Majed Shah Huseini argued that the Protocols help explain plots in Jewish-made Hollywood movies. The Persian edition of the Protocols includes an introduction tailored to the Iranian reader. Iran continues to promote the Protocols abroad. It markets the Protocols at international book fairs, such as the Zagreb International Book Exhibition, and also distributes the book in South America. The Jewish obsession with money is an ancient Western trope, particularly the saga of the Rothschild family. They were the most reviled and lampooned Jewish family on any continent. Conservative antisemites saw them as undermining Christian values and authentic royalty, while leftists condemned them for exploiting the working class. The Nazis made a movie, The Rothschilds, which was a commercial success. Although the Rothschilds are no longer the world's wealthiest family, they remain targets of derision in the Middle East and Europe. Iranian international affairs expert Alireza Mehrabi explained on Iranian television that the "headmasters of Wall Street are a few Zionist Jews who are descendants of the Rothschild family." Iranian university lecturer Ali-Reza Karimi claims the Rothschilds plunder the world’s wealth to give their family and Jews power. Some Iranians argue that the Rothschilds and other Jews organized the communist takeover of Russia for their own financial gain. Finally, many Iranians claim that the Rothschilds’ ill-gotten fortunes planted the seeds of a Jewish state in Palestine. Blood Libel Another hoary theme shared by European and Iranian antisemites is blood libel. In 1144, an unknown assailant murdered a twelve-year-old boy named William in Norwich. Without evidence, William's uncle accused the Jews of the killing. Ten years later, this "blood libel" led to the expulsion of Jewish communities across much of Europe. The charge was revived in Nazi Germany. The antisemitic publication Der Stürmer published an illustration of a German boy lying on a table, surrounded by Jews with long beards and earlocks, who were sucking his blood through long tubes. In 2020, Berlin-based journalist Ahmad Al-Hawas, the editor-in-chief of resalapost.com, claimed that Jews rejoice when they slaughter babies and dine on matzos soaked in their blood. Although blood libel is no longer a widespread theme in Europe, it remains pervasive in Iran. In 2012, Fars published an article titled "The Pilgrimage in Judaism." The article claims that Jews murder children to mix non-Jewish blood into matzah. This claim also appears on television. Jews also use Gentiles' body parts for other ritual purposes. Some Iranian-produced commentaries specify the different uses of body parts. The prominent Iranian website Alef published an article titled "Who Are Human History's Most ...
