F
ollowing a social
media outcry, Barnes
& Noble has removed
The Protocols of the Elders of
Zion from its website.
Twitter users began
tweeting Jan. 25 about an
online listing on the book-
sellers’ site, which had been
offering the famously fab-
ricated antisemitic text for
$24.95. The retailer said in
a statement to the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that the
book was fed automatically
to the website from “standard
industry databases” and that
the company took “prompt
action to remove” the title.
Twitter users also object-
ed to the description of the
book on the site, which sum-
marized at length the book’s
fictional description of a
Jewish plan for global domi-
nation and suggested that its
authenticity is still an open
question. The description
justified its sale as “an inter-
esting book which deserves
to be studied in the same way
the War of the Worlds radio
broadcast duped many thou-
sands…. We neither support
nor deny its message, we
simply make it available for
those who wish a copy.”
“Like what is even this
synopsis?” responded Rachel
Kaplan, a San Diego-based
writer, on Twitter. “We nei-
ther support nor deny it’s
message what??”
“Nothing like watching
major corporations distrib-
uting long discredited antise-
mitic forgeries for profit,”
tweeted Jeremy Burton, exec-
utive director of the Boston
Jewish Community Relations
Council.
In their statement to JTA,
a representative for Barnes
& Noble wrote that the
bookseller draws on indus-
try databases and does the
“utmost to diligently monitor
such submissions for viola-
tions of our content policy.”
According to the statement,
the book was never stocked
in their bookstores.
“We regret that it was list-
ed inadvertently. As soon as
we are made aware of any
such offending titles, we take
prompt action to remove the
offending titles in accordance
with our policy, as we did
with this title,” said the repre-
sentative.
While Barnes & Noble
was the main focus of
social media users’ outrage,
other top online booksell-
ers such as Walmart, Book
Depository, Thrift Books and
Hudson Books were selling
dozens of versions of the
Protocols, the Jerusalem Post
reported.
