people, who in turn are divided into still more echelons, very similar to any military or corporate<br />

“While <strong>the</strong> Romans ruled <strong>the</strong> lands <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews in A.D. 80, a Jewish leader, Gamaliel,<br />
was <strong>the</strong> ruler <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews — “<strong>the</strong> patriarchate <strong>of</strong> Tannas who would be willing to “render unto<br />
Caesar what was Caesar’s, provided <strong>the</strong> Jews were permitted to render unto God what was<br />
God’s. Quick to sense <strong>the</strong> advantage, <strong>the</strong> Romans recognized <strong>the</strong> new rabbinate as <strong>the</strong> voice <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Jews and conferred <strong>the</strong> title <strong>of</strong> Nasi, “Prince,” or Patriarch, on <strong>the</strong> head <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sanhedrin...<br />
Gamaliel was confirmed as <strong>the</strong> first <strong>of</strong>ficial Patriarch <strong>of</strong> Palestine.” — with <strong>The</strong> Reader<br />
remembering that was also known as <strong>the</strong> “Prince.” Here we have a Jewish author describing <strong>the</strong><br />
Sanhedrin as <strong>the</strong> “<strong>of</strong>fice” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> “Princes.” 171/<br />

THE PROTOCOLS IN ARAB LANDS,<br />
ACCORDING TO JEWISH SOURCES<br />
<strong>The</strong> first Arabic translation, made from <strong>the</strong> French, was printed in Raqib Sahyun, a<br />
periodical published in Jerusalem by <strong>the</strong> Latin Catholic community on January 15, 1926. 172/<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r edition, translated from <strong>the</strong> French by an Arab Christian was published in Cairo, Egypt,<br />
soon <strong>the</strong>reafter. <strong>The</strong> first translation for <strong>the</strong> Muslin (Islamic) people was made from an English<br />
translation, presumably <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Russian-language original, (i.e., a Nilus or a Marsden translation,<br />
and being a “third generation,” weakens <strong>the</strong> “original intent” somewhat) and this document<br />
appeared likewise in Cairo in 1951, but with a lengthy introduction, followed by numerous<br />
editions and at least n different Arabic translations — more than any o<strong>the</strong>r language, including<br />
<strong>The</strong> German. 173/<br />
One <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Protocols</strong> published in 1961 had an introduction by c Abbas Mahmud alc<br />
Aqqad, “a famous and respected author.” Ano<strong>the</strong>r Protocol edition was published in 1968,<br />
translated by Shawqi c Abd al-Nasir, bro<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> assassinated Egyptian President, Gamal Abdel<br />
Nasir. This particular book has been highly recommended by Egyptian presidents Nasir and<br />
