Official PA TV narrator: “[Lebanese historian] Ajaj Nuwayhed wrote innumerable articles and studies in newspapers and magazines in the fields of culture, history, and politics... Among the most important of his books… [is] his important book The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which he translated.”
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - an antisemitic forgery describing in precise detail a fictitious Jewish plan to subjugate humanity under Jewish rule. It was published in Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages. In 1921, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was exposed as a false document.
Ajaj Nuwayhed was a Lebanese historian who translated and commented on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as if it was a true work of Jews.
In the introduction to the 1980 second edition of Nuwayhed's translation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is written: "When we asked for the author’s [Nuwayhed's] permission to print a second edition we asked him to write a new introduction, and he responded: 'What has changed in the Zionist plan such that we should change the first edition's introduction?' Between the two editions a period of 15 years have passed that were packed with events constituting an irrefutable indication that everything that appears in the Protocols [of the Elders of Zion] has been done by the elders of the Zionist enemy, and emphasizing that the enemy is determined to continue his criminal plan."</ol>
