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.
