Abstract: This comprehensive research paper examines the historical and ideological connections between theMuslim Brotherhood, European antisemitism, and the antisemitic text The Protocols of the Elders ofZion. Through extensive multilingual research spanning Hebrew, Arabic, English, French, and Germansources, this study documents how the Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassanal-Banna, systematically incorporated European antisemitic ideology—particularly the Protocols—intoits core doctrine. The research traces the historical collaboration between Arab nationalist leaders andNazi Germany during World War II, examines the ideological evolution through key figures includingHaj Amin al-Husseini and Sayyid Qutb, and analyzes the contemporary manifestations in organizationssuch as Hamas. Special attention is given to recent findings from the Institute for the Study of GlobalAntisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) regarding Qatar's role in financing and disseminating MuslimBrotherhood ideology through Western educational institutions. This paper synthesizes primary sourcedocuments, academic research from Israeli institutions including Yad Vashem and the InternationalInstitute for Counter-Terrorism, and recent policy reports to provide a rigorous analysis of thisdangerous ideological fusion that continues to threaten democratic societies today.
