Streamer reads "the Protocols of the Elders of Zion" while streaming live video
Streamer Dimitri Revolt quotes the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" in a video, a fabricated 1903 text. What it is and why it is used to spread antisemitism.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A video attributed to streamer Dimitri Revolt shows him quoting the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", a fabricated text from the early 20th century that has been used for decades to spread antisemitism. The publication that flags it describes the quote as false.
The video circulating these days has a named protagonist: **Dimitri Revolt**. In it, he appears quoting the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", according to the publication that spread it. The quote is presented as if it were a genuine document, and that is the problem.
## What the Protocols are
The "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is a fabricated text from the early 20th century. It is presented as the minutes of an alleged meeting of Jewish leaders plotting to dominate the world. It is not authentic: it is a forgery, as historical and judicial investigations have established for decades. Its origin lies in Tsarist Russia, around **1903**, and it later spread across Europe and the United States.
The text has served as an antisemitic propaganda tool for more than a century. It was a central element in spreading hatred against Jews during the interwar period, and it still circulates today on forums and social media. Quoting it as if it were a valid source is not an innocent detail: it is repeating a hoax with real consequences.
## Why it matters that it was quoted
When someone with an audience quotes that text without debunking it, it is effectively presented as a legitimate historical document. The publication that flagged the case directly calls it false. You do not need to be a historian to know it: the Protocols' falseness is documented and is one of the best known of the last century.
The episode is a reminder that hoaxes do not disappear, they get recycled. A text over a hundred years old can reappear in a current video and sound new to those who do not know it. That is why it should be called what it is: a forgery.
If the content is presented as analysis or entertainment, it is worth checking it against historical sources before sharing it.
