Lies, like rats, breed uncontrollably.

The Protocols were lies in the Nineteenth Century, they were lies in the Twentieth Century, and now the damnable thing has risen again to breed hatred in the fertile minds of those willing to hate in the Twenty-first Century. What to do?

Stomping on it, arguing against it, even proving it wrong will not deter the hate-mongers who have a special dark hatred for the Jewish people. The most that we can hope for is that each time the cursed idea rises from its rotten grave, fewer and fewer people will see it as a icon of fact, a justification for their unreasonable hatred, and despise the thing for the malicious monstrosity that it is.
