Nazi Influence on Modern Propaganda
Daniel Pipes of the New York Sun examines a research article by Joel Fishman of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. Fishman's piece, The Big Lie and the Media War against Israel, takes a historical look at the anti-Semitic propaganda of Nazi Germany and how that planted the seeds of the anti-Israeli propaganda of today.
It was interesting to learn that Nazi's who escaped Germany after Word War II set up shop in parts of the Middle East.

Von Leers escaped Germany after 1945 and a decade later turned up in Egypt, where he converted to Islam and became a political adviser to President Nasser's Department of Information. There, Mr. Fishman recounts, he "sponsored the publication of an Arabic edition of ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' revived the blood libel, organized anti-Semitic broadcasts in numerous languages, cultivated neo-Nazis throughout the world, and maintained a warm, encouraging correspondence with the first generation of Holocaust deniers." |
Both articles are well worth reading.
Comments
Its possible that Van Leers was a double agent, like another SS Colonel by the name of Walther Rauff. "
Rauff was responsible for the murder of at least 100,000 people and was wanted by the Allies as a war criminal, was employed by the Israeli secret service."

Doesn't it makes you wonder why after WWII we (USA) ran around the world capturing suspected Nazis so we could try them in the world court, while the israeli's were trying to secret out these criminals so they could be used as double agents? Rauff murdered 100K people some were jews, now he gets a paycheck from them. Somethings not right about that.
