"The Protocols of Zion" were written to show how stupid bigots are by satirizing their idiotic portrayal of Jews. However, anti-Semites are so stupid they don't even understand the this document is a SATIRE of their own stupid views, not an attempt at anti-Semitism. Good God!

Really? I always thought they were an attempt to incite people against Jews. Do you have any documentation for that?

Hrm... while the book is obviously a complete falsehood, I don't think it was actually intended as parody.
"The Protocols" were first published as a serial in a Russian newspaper in 1903, and were used as propaganda by both the Russian Empire and the Bolsheviks.
It is generally accepted that the book is an adaptation of a nineteenth-century French play. The original WAS a political satire, and had nothing to do with Jews. It was essentially a dialogue between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, set in hell. The writers of the "Protocols" simply adapted the speaking characters to be the "Elders of Zion" and distributed the piece as a genuine transcript.

Actually it was real antisemitic propaganda from before WWII.
The national paranoia levels were very high then. Especially in Germany where they were facing the Bolshevik threat of Russian Communism.

Jesus lives!!!
JN 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
