In this book they say "Zion" is really Sion and the "protocols" are really about a secret society out to rule the globe . . . |

27 January 2006, 18:07 Public Chamber members propose to ban The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in Russia
Moscow, January 27, Interfax - Members of Russia's Public Chamber and human rights activists have proposed that a list be compiled of extremist literature whose dissemination should be formally banned.
According to the report of an Interfax correspondent, together with Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Civil, Criminal, Arbitration and Procedural Legislation Pavel Krasheninnikov, they considered the proposed amendments enhancing the criminal and administrative responsibility for extremist activity at a round-table conference in Moscow.
‘The most productive result of today's discussion was the unity of opinion on the need for a list of extremist literature,’ Genry Reznik, a well-known Russian lawyer and member of the Public Chamber, told Interfax.
‘The nucleus’ of literature aimed at fanning up ethnic hatred has been around for decades and the dissemination of such books is banned in many countries, he said. Among such books he cited Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a nineteenth century anti-Semitic Russian book.
Reznik said such books should not be destroyed but kept in special depositories where access to them should be limited. ‘Such books should not have wide circulation because these works are clearly nationalistic and aimed at fanning up racism and anti-semitism’.
Krasheninnikov agreed to the need for such a list, and a similar attitude was expressed by Alexander Brod, director of the Moscow Human Rights Office.
A far more valuable service would be to make known how many copies of the "Protocols" are printed every year in Saudi Arabia.
They get "CBS"
about it -- They know it's false
but pretend it's true . . .
Damn... Neo, Morpheus and those guys will be pissed.
Had an internet argument once with an anti-Semite crank who made exactly that argument. Said even if the Protocols were a fake, that didn't mean that the story of Zionist domination couldn't be true. I gave up at that point.
Russia is becoming a socialist country with thought crime laws like the EU where the government can ban whatever it wants. Contrary to popular belief, Russia's gulag system is still in operation and they will soon be sending political and religious dissident to Siberia just like in the USSR days.

One day you insist that Russia is anti-semitic the next you say they are caving to the interest of the EU with regard to banning anti-semitism. Make up your mind.
True but they may see it as a way to get EU morons to quit insisting that Russia is anti-semitic.
"Banning books is an incredibly stupid and counterproductive idea."
Yes, it is, along with all hate-speech and hate-crimes laws. We have hate speech laws in Canada that stop anti-semitic holocaust-revisionist nutbags from spreading their garbage here. Much as I detest them, I still think they should be free to speak their lies. Better that they're known and out in the open, where they can be identified and given the ridicule they so richly deserve.
They probably should.
I think the only reason they put this on the table is that it's holocaust memorial day, and there's a ton of Jewish organizations telling the international press that anti-semitic crime is rampant in Russia after there was a single stabbing in a synagogue, and the mayor uped security on all of them, the church condemened the action, and the guy was arrested for hate crimes.
The proper answer to what more could they have done should be that they've done enough, adding yet another law is overkill, and redundant.
Note to scientists who support the ACLU: They sent the natural scientists to the gulags as well
There are no gulags in modern day Russia.
Half of EU countries sent their troops to Iraq (not being obliged by NATO treaty), and even more to Afghanistan. That's what you call siding with Muslim extremists?
Where did I say there were? Santayana comes to mind nevertheless.
No I didn't. You said that Ukraine was antisemitic but Russia wasn't, a contradictory and hypocritical stance.
I do not resort to such henious leftist racebating Al Sharpton-wannabe tactics. You do.
Russia’s gulags still in business - The camps were supposedly closed down with the end of communism, but reports in Moscow say they continue to exist, with North Korea using the system as a way to pay off its £5.5 billion debt to Russia. "North Korean labour holds the position of a special type of mass quantity product."
