Conspiracism, or, more commonly, conspiracy theory, the mistaken or false belief that others are out to do harm to a group owing to some sort of hidden agenda despite the apparent evidence to the contrary, would appear to be endemic to human beings. The hidden hand of Jewish conspiracy as presented by The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, the modern world’s most enduring antisemitic forgery, interweaves individual-think, group-think, and historical and contemporary reality by those already predisposed to hate Jews and Judaism, Israel and Zionism, and those too-easily susceptible to simplistic explanations to and for complex problems. Developing better critical thinking skills on the part of the present and future generations of young people in all manner of educational arenas in how to read, analyze, and understand texts such as this one and others of the similar construction.
