Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) seeks to respond to the anti-Jewish hate promoted by Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha

We have seen such anti-Jewish hate before both in the United States of America and around the world.

Despite the vast documentation of the Holocaust (in every language including Arabic), including photographs and video, there will still be some, like Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha, who will continue to question it. Despite nearly 90 years of proof that the apocryphal "Protocols of Elders of Zion" are a forgery, it has continued to be promoted by the likes of Adolf Hitler, as well as many others who hate Jews. Modern day refutations of the "Protocols of Elders of Zion" have been provided by the Simon Wiesenthal Foundation's Dr. Steven Jacobs.

Whether such Holocaust Denial is promoted by the likes of British "white nationalist" Nick Griffin who called the Holocaust the "Holohoax," , or is mocked by white supremacist David Duke as "the device of... Zionist murder," or is questioned by Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha as to whether the Holocaust ever happened, the objective remains the same - hatred against Jews. Whether promotion of the apocryphal "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is done by the Neo-Nazi Stormfront group, promoted on white supremacist David Duke's web site, or broadcast on international television programs as fact by Tawfiq Okasha and Al-Faraeen, the objective remains the same - hatred against Jews.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) stands uncategorically and unreservedly against HATE. We believe that you cannot hate your fellow human beings and support our universal human rights. We believe that Love will Win over Hate.

Even though we realize that we are not really addressing a factual argument, as the proof that the Holocaust happened and the proof that the "Protocols of Elders of Zion" are a fake has been readily available to the world for many, many years, we believe that there is a need to continue to speak out against such Holocaust denial and anti-Jewish hate embodied in the promotion of the "Protocols." We do so also in urging that those who promote such anti-Jewish hate will find inspiration to love their fellow human beings and drop the burden of such hate from their hearts.

We recognize that such anti-Jewish hate does not appear only in one nationality or amongst one religion. In March 2004, R.E.A.L.'s Jeffrey Imm traveled to Wooster College to speak to individuals that hosted a speaker that also defended the "Protocols of Elders of Zion." Jeffrey Imm joined Simon Wiesenthal Foundation's Dr. Steven Jacobs there, who spoke to Wooster College from his book "Dismantling the Big Lie" on why the "Protocols of Elders of Zion" are false.

R.E.A.L.'s specific response to Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha is as follows:

Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha on Protocols of Elders of Zion

: ... and claims the apocryphal "Protocols of Elders of Zion" are "the documents we have"

In response to the statements by Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha on the "Protocols of Elders of Zion," we urge them to review the 1921 refutation of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion by the London Times.

Mr. Okasha claims that the "Protocols" are "the documents that we have." We urge Mr. Okasha to learn how to use the Internet to find other documents, such as the 1921 London Times research that refuted the "Protocols" nearly 90 years ago. The web page with the 1921 London Times research is also available in Google translation in Arabic. Moreover, R.E.A.L.'s entire website is available in Google translation in Arabic.

Furthermore, we urge Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha to review the book "Dismantling the Big Lie" by Simon Wiesenthal Foundation's Dr. Steven Jacobs. This book by Dr. Jacobs book remains one of the most comprehensive refutations of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," and is available for free download in Arabic. Tawfiq Okasha claims to seek dialogue. We urge him to broadcast a refutation to the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" based on this information which is available in English and in Arabic.

Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha on Holocaust Denial

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) also seeks to respond to the Holocaust Denial stated by Al-Faraeen and Tawfiq Okasha. We invite the viewers of Al-Faraeen to view this introduction to the Holocaust (in Arabic) from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Al-Faraeen's Tawfiq Okasha asks for photographic proof of the Holocaust, which he will then broadcast on Al-Faraeen.

Once again, we respectfully urge Mr. Okasha to become familiar with resources available to the world via the Internet.

Al-Faraeen's Tawfiq Okasha also asks for video proof of the Holocaust, which he will then broadcast on Al-Faraeen.

Yet again, we respectfully urge Mr. Okasha to become familiar with resources available to the world via the Internet.

We believe that it is not enough to simply dismiss those who hate as caricatures, and not to take hate seriously.

We believe that it is necessary to respond to mass movements that seek to promote hatred against any of our fellow human beings, as part of our defense of our universal human rights.

We believe that "Never Again" begins with our love for our fellow human beings and being consistently Responsible for Equality And Liberty.

We believe that Love Wins.
