There is a Coptic Orthodox priest serving in the Boston area who is publishing material in a major Egyptian newspaper that promotes classic antisemitic conspiracy theories – not in passing, but as part of a sustained, multi-part series.
The priest is Fr. Angelos Guirgis, currently listed as serving at St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Natick, MA. At the same time, he writes a recurring column in Al-Ahram, one of the most prominent media outlets in the Arab world.
In that column, particularly in a recent series on Jerusalem, he spreads Elders of Zion style conspiracy theories about Jewish world domination. In fact, his latest column is titled, "How did the Jews gain control of the world?"
He claims that since the Crusades, Jews developed a long-term strategic plan to dominate the world through what he describes as three coordinated forces – finance, religion, and media.
A Jewish movement emerged that had existed before the Middle Ages... This movement, persecuted and despised by Christian nations and hated by Western peoples, resorted to a long-term plan to control the world. They skillfully employed the three pillars of power: money, religion, and media (or ideology), and unfortunately, they succeeded. On the financial level, as we shall see, they seized control of the global economy, starting with usury and lending to individuals and governments, and culminating in the establishment of banks, the initiation of massive projects, and their subsequent control over arms, pharmaceutical, and mining companies.On the religious level, they found that the Jewish idea alone was unacceptable to the Western Christian world, so they began spreading the ideology of Christian Zionism. ...On the intellectual level, we will see that Jewish Freemasonry began buying off thinkers and philosophers during the Renaissance, and later established large media entities, such as Hollywood, to shape public opinion and make these ideas acceptable. They even gained control over the United Nations itself.
More details are promised in later articles.
It get worse.
On the St. Marks YouTube channel he states that the Jews murdered Christian children as a religious ritual and used their blood for matzah - the classic blood libel.
This is not a personal opinion from an antisemitic priest. This is the St Mark Church official position.
Clergy, like anyone else, can express offensive views. There is nothing illegal about it. But similarly, there is nothing illegal about asking St. Mark Coptic Church why they employ someone with such noxious views that have been used as incitement to murder Jews over the centuries - and why they promote antisemitic conspiracies in their official social media.
Because right now it looks like a church in Natick, MA promotes hate speech.
