Sales of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion soared in Egypt after the presentation of an antisemitic TV show.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an anti-Semitic pamphlet published in Russia at the end of the 19th century. It purports to be the minutes of meetings held secretly by Jewish wise men plotting to control the world.
