The Protocols of the Elders of Zion by Victor E. Marsden is an infamous anti-Semitic fabrication originally produced in Russia that purports to expose a secret global Jewish conspiracy. On the Lex Fridman Podcast, Lex Fridman asked Rick Spence to describe the text, noting it is widely regarded as the most influential work of anti-Semitism in history. In the same podcast series, Bassem Youssef discussed how Henry Ford imported the work and highlighted its enduring popularity in the Arab world. Bari Weiss brought up the text on Honestly with Bari Weiss to draw a parallel between modern ideological conclusions and the hateful conspiracy theories captured within its pages. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly read from Hamas founding documents referencing the text's schemes to illustrate extreme anti-Semitic ideology. Ben Bowlin cited the work on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know as an example of dangerous and successful racist propaganda. Robert Evans noted on Behind the Bastards that Bobby Fischer purchased a copy upon returning to California, while Ken Burns discussed on People I (Mostly) Admire how Henry Ford printed the hoax across multiple editions of his newspaper after becoming convinced of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
