In a January 10, 2014 interview on the Egyptian Sada Al-Balad TV, former Egyptian housing minister Hasaballah El Kafrawy said that he had read "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and believed that the Jews "rule the world." In the past, El Kafrawi has blamed the Jews for being behind 9/11, the Arab Spring, and the assassination of Anwar Sadat (see MEMRI TV clip 3745).
Following are excerpts the interview:
Interviewer: "What made the Muslim Brotherhood turn into a hostile terrorist organization that throws Molotov cocktails? It has reached the point that even their women beat people up in the streets, and so on. Have they gone made, or what?"
Hasaballah El Kafrawy: "Let me tell you, I believe that there is a conspiracy. I have read The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. You follow me? According to The Protocols, one of the methods... By the way, there are 16 million Jews in the world."
Interviewer: "That is the total number?"
Hasaballah El Kafrawy: "There are 16 million Jews in the world, out of a total of 6,000 million people."
Interviewer: "Only 16 million of them are Jews..."
Hasaballah El Kafrawy: "Only 16 million out of 6,000 million. Those 16 control the 6,000."
Interviewer: "The 16 million rule the 6,000 million?"
Hasaballah El Kafrawy: "That goes without saying. When you read The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, written in Basel, Switzerland, in 1895, you can see that it is all mentioned there."
Interviewer: "Including what's happening to us?"
Hasaballah El Kafrawy: "Yes. Have you forgotten Morsi's letter to what's-his-name...?"
Interviewer: "Do you mean his 'dear friend' Peres?"
Hasaballah El Kafrawy: "Right. He addressed him as 'dear friend' and signed it with 'your loyal friend.'"
Interviewer: "He wrote that he wished progress and prosperity upon Israel."
Hasaballah El Kafrawy: "Exactly.
"Out of the 16 million Jews, six million live in Israel, four or five million live in the U.S., two or three million in Britain, two or three million in France, and approximately one million in what they call 'the Diaspora' around the world.
"They rule the world. There is no doubt about it. They monopolize... They excel in science, in technology, in the economy, and in the media.
"They use the non-Jewish fools, and have them fight to prevent a holocaust of the 16 million Jews."
