“Strache [himself] is all the proof anyone needs to see that he has not given up his anti- Semitic beliefs,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. Foxmann added that

Evidently, there is a history there, which adds a great deal to the meaning.

“now, he’s promoting the anti- Semitic canard that Jews control international finance and manipulate governments to enrich themselves at the expense of non-Jews. Strache brings shame to Austrian politics and should be repudiated for his anti-Jewish bigotry.”

Gee, haven’t heard this canard (with a slight half-twist)—for a few days.

I wonder how they determine that…

It really gets down to subtext, and the ability to hear subtext. Unfortunately, it’s not a skill that is emphasized because it’s hard to prove your interpretation is objective. I’ll go farther—you can’t prove it. But like jazz, it’s possible to hear the melody (subtext) in the solos, even the drum solos.

With practice, you become more sure of what you are hearing. Charlie Parker once said that (paraphrase) you see with your ears and hear with your eyes.

Another thing: Are only anti-Semitic images potentially illegal in Europe? I assume this has to do with the the Holocaust & Europe’s history of anti-Semitism as well as differences in free speech laws, but it still strikes me as a bit odd. The Romani people as well as other non-Jewish groups) were also victims of the genocide—are there laws against anti-Roma cartoons? I’ve never heard of any.

History, it’s been a non-stop drumbeat for thousands of years. The Protocols is essentially a footnote citing that long history. So there isn’t a literal list of Protocols, rather it’s the entire history, the twisted cause and effect that accompanies them. For instance, there is a clause in the Magna Carta that absolves everyone of paying back loans to Jews. This transforms antisemitism into an institution.
