Protocols of the Elders of Pakistan
Come on now, Pakistan, really? You’re going to blame the Jews for your troubles? As humanitarian aid blogger Michael Kleinman notes over at change.org, Pakistani propaganda is equating the Jews and the Taliban and, par for the course in the Middle East, implying a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. WTF? I really wonder how they make this connection, other than relying on knee-jerk anti-Semitism. To defeat their current enemy, they are demonizing Jews in general. Aside from being total nonsense, it’s offensive and dangerous, further reinforcing the very old lie that despots in the Middle East use, the lie that Jews and Muslims must necessarily be in conflict. I am glad they are fighting the Taliban, who are certainly not a group we want anywhere near nuclear weapons, but blaming the Jews to gain support is just stupid.
Sadly, it might work.
