Abstract:
Gives examples of antisemitic propaganda circulating in the Arab world and in Iran. Characterizes the methodology of this propaganda as "the big lie, " i.e. the spread of false information about Israel and the Jews. Among its motifs are Holocaust denial, statements that Israel or the Jews have outdone the Nazis in brutality, and the necessity for brutal "retaliatory" measures. It is a mistake to regard this propaganda as a means in the political struggle of the Arabs against Israel: antisemitism in the Middle East is an end in itself.
