He discusses various theories for the development of antisemiticism in Japan which has no history of antisemiticism prior to the WWII. He analyses the danger of the spread of the ideology of 'The Protocols of Zion' and finally links this to Ashara Shoko and Aum and their gassing of the Tokyo subway.
