Uganda Embassy in Canada
Extols 'Protocols' Hate Text
TORONTO (JTA) — The
Embassy of Uganda in Can-
ada has distributed to Cana-
dian newspapers a press re-
lease extolling the
"Protocols of the Elders of
Zion."
The purported excuse for
the embassy's 850-word text
is said to be a criticism by
Canadian Jewish groups of,
among others, President Idi
Amin for his espousal of
last year's anti-Zionist reso-
lution at the United Na-
tions.
The release states: "You
cannot understand Zionism
without reading the Proto-
cols of Zion. This book has
been called the greatest
lie in history. It has also
been called the greatest
truth in history. It is both."
The release adds that to
ensure Israel's survival
the Zionists are plotting
"to gain decisive influence
over American economic,
social, political and mili-
tary affairs."
The Ottawa Journal re-
buked the embassy for cir-
culating "racist hate litera-
ture" and noted that the
Department of External
Affairs "should have a few
rough words" for the em-
bassy representatives for
abusing diplomatic mail
privileges.
