Rabbi Emmanuel Rabinovich

Rabbi Emmanuel Rabinovich is a non-existent figure commonly cited in antisemitic propaganda. One such fake is a supposed speech by "Rabbi Rabinovich" entitled Our Race Will Rule Undisputed Over The World to the "Emergency Council of European Rabbis" in Budapest, Hungary on January 12, 1952. This forgery is taken as a "proof" of a Jewish plot against the whites in much the same way as another hoax, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, invoked in the Rabinovich speech, is used as "proof" of Jewish global conspiracy.
The speech appeared in the early 1950s right-wing newsletter, Common Sense, (A Newspaper Upholding Christianity and Patriotism) published by Conde McGinley. The paper ran an alleged quote by Nikita Khrushchev that could be spurious: when questioned, the editor could not produce a source. The Rabinovich speech is often distributed online with a coverletter by a "Rose Rabbinovich" who states that the speech was found on her "rabbi's favorite website," the anti-Semitic Radio Islam, making the forgery even more obvious.
Another evidence of a hoax is that no "Council of Rabbis" could have been allowed in the Stalinist People's Republic of Hungary.
