Arab media still loves treating the "Protocols" as fact

Since antisemitism in the Arab world is hitting record levels, one can expect that the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" myth would be widely referred to again.

Sure enough, it is. Here are some mentions in Arabic media  in the past month alone.

Popular Egyptian newspaper Al Masry Al Youm published a summary of a book in which the Protocols are assumed to be legitimate:

We have reached a stage of weakness and humiliation that is not hidden from anyone. But we are facing the most dangerous people, and even the most hostile, the Jews, who have opposed God Almighty. The Zionist Jews worked to establish a law and a charter of their own, which they called the Protocols, in which they laid out their approach to controlling the world.. which is what the thinker Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud reveals to us in his book. Nazi Israel and the Language of the Holocaust, in which he talks about the Zionists and some of their issues.

Guess what "Zionists" means?

Another popular Egyptian news site, Youm7, shares a recent video where one of their writer describes the "Protocols" in five minutes.

The same site reviews another book, called "International Zionism," which is summarizes this way:

The book International Zionism includes 25 sections: As follows: Zionism before Christ, Zionism from birth to the nineteenth century, Zionism since the Balfour Declaration, International Zionism, International Zionism...their crime against themselves, International Zionism...the claim of persecution, International Zionism and genius, International Zionism and its fifth columns in the fields of politics and economics. , International Zionism and its fifth columns in the fields of culture, International Zionism and its fifth columns in the parliaments, International Zionism and its fifth columns in Eastern politics, International Zionism... its methods in the present era (1), International Zionism... its methods in the present era (2), Zionism Internationalism... its methods in the present era (3), the fanaticism of Zionism in the field of culture and politics, the fate of international Zionism and international causes, the fate of global Zionism and its threatening influence, the fate of global Zionism and its contradictory structure, international Zionism... their fate in their eyes, the fate of international Zionism in the eyes of their friends The fate of global Zionism and the boycott of the Arabs, Zionist colonialism, Zionism and the future, global Zionism. In conclusion, a commentary on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

See? He has nothing against Jews, just Zionists who have been around for 3000 years.

The forgery is also mentioned as fact in this Oman op-ed, 

This Lebanese newspaper admits that the Protocols might be fake, but that doesn't really matter:

Regardless of whether the book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is a real or a fake document promoted by opponents of the Jews to distort them and justify their persecution in Europe, it is certain that some religious leaders and even politicians in Israel are repeating a speech surprisingly similar to what was contained in that book..

Apologists for Arab antisemitism love to say that they didn't treat Jews as badly as Europeans did. This is generally true. But the Arab world really embraced the worst components of European antisemitism, and today they are the main purveyors of the "Protocols."
