The 'Palestinians' have a long history (see above) of throwing their lot in with the Nazis. They're doing it again. The hashtag #HitlerWasRight is unabashedly trending as a result of its promotion by 'Palestinians' on Twitter.
At a 'cultural event' in London, we see what may be the ultimate lie perpetrated by Muslims: They're now claiming to be victims of the Nazis.
There can be no ambiguity in what the artist is claiming here: Jews,
gays, and ... Muslims (dressed in concentration camp outfits) were equal
victims of the Nazi holocaust. The myth of Muslim victimhood and
'Islamaphobia' is one that is now constantly pushed not just by the
Muslim Brotherhood, but even more so by their useful idiot leftist
allies, like the 'guerilla artist' here. To cast Muslims as equal
victims when they were actually
among the most enthusiastic participants in the Nazi persecution of Jews
takes the
myth of Muslim victimhood to a whole new level; and as with
most Muslim propaganda it is a perfect inversion of reality.
Hitler was actually inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood's antisemitism and the Palestinian leader Haj Amin al Husseini
was a key ally of Hitler who helped set up Hitler's Muslim SS division,
who were active in murdering Jews in Eastern Europe. Hitler promised
al Husseini that he would be allowed to carry out the murder of every
Jew in Palestine once the Nazis advanced there, and al Husseini had
drawn up detailed plans of the execution programme. And, of course,
Arab countries such as Iraq were formally allies of Nazi Germany.
Anyway, just to makes sure that nobody can be in any doubt where the
'guerilla artist' Ego Leonard's true sympathies lie he was also
exhibiting a print showing that the Arabs - with the ubiquitous large
key - have been the true owners of the land of Palestine 'since the time
of Jesus' (a good quality image of this print can be seen on the
artist's website here).
Much more about the real relationship between Muslims and Nazis here (including video) and here.
I've discussed the World War II era collaboration between the Arabs (particularly, the 'Palestinians') and the Nazis many times on this blog. The reason you don't read a lot about that collaboration in the media is that the subject is taboo in the West, particularly in Germany.
What Mr. Rössel says about Germany applies to most of the Western
world, where it is often claimed that the mufti's Hitler alliance later
discredited him in the region. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In the Mideast, Nazis were not only popular during but also after the
war—scores of them found refuge in the Arab world, including Eichman's
deputy, Alois Brunner, who escaped to Damascus. The German war criminals
became trusted military and security advisers in the region,
particularly of Nazi sympathizer Gamal Nasser, then Egypt's president.
The mufti himself escaped to Egypt in 1946. Far from being shunned for
his Nazi past, he was elected president of the National Palestinian
Council. The mufti was at the forefront of pushing the Arabs to reject
the 1948 United Nations partition plan and to wage a "war of
destruction" against the fledgling Jewish state. His great admirer,
Yasser Arafat, would later succeed him as Palestinian leader.
The other line of defense is that Arab collaboration with the Nazis
supposedly wasn't ideological but pragmatic, following the old dictum
that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." This "excuse" not only fails
to consider what would have happened to the Jews and British in the
Mideast had the Arabs' German friends won. It also overlooks the mufti's
and his followers' virulent anti-Semitism, which continues to poison
the minds of many Muslims even today.
The mufti "invented a new form of
Jew-hatred by recasting it in an Islamic mold," according to German
scholar Matthias Küntzel. The mufti's fusion of European
anti-Semtism—particularly the genocidal variety—with Koranic views of
Jewish wickedness has become the hallmark of Islamists world-wide, from
al Qaeda to Hamas and Hezbollah. During his time in Berlin, the mufti
ran the Nazis' Arab-language propaganda radio program, which incited
Muslims in the Mideast to "kill the Jews wherever you find them. This
pleases God, history and religion." Among the many listeners was also
the man later known as Ayatollah Khomeini, who used to tune in to Radio
Berlin every evening, according to Amir Taheri's biography of the
Iranian leader. Khomeini's disciple Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still spews the
same venom pioneered by the mufti as do Islamic hate preachers around
the world.
Muslim Judeophobia is not—as is commonly claimed—a reaction to the
Mideast conflict but one of its main "root causes." It has been fueling
Arab rejection of a Jewish state long before Israel's creation.
"I am not a Mideast expert," Mr. Rössel told me, but "I wonder why
the people who so one-sidedly regard Israel as the region's main problem
never consider how the Mideast conflict would have developed had it not
been influenced by fascists, anti-Semites and people who had just
returned from their Nazi exile."
On November 28, 1941 the religious and political leader of the
Palestinian Arabs and one of the most influential leaders of the Arab
world Haj Amin el Husseini met with Adolf Hitler in Berlin. Husseini had
courted the Nazis since just after the Nazis rose to power in 1933.
Husseini was forced to flee the British Mandate in 1937 when he expanded
his fourth terror war against the Jews, that he began in 1936 to
include the British as well.
He fled to
Lebanon, and then in October 1939 he fled to Iraq. In April 1941 he
fomented a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq. As the British -- with massive
unheralded assistance from the Jews from the land of Israel -- were
poised to enter Baghdad and restore the pro-British government, Husseini
incited the Farhud, a 3-day pogrom against the Jews of Baghdad
that took place over the festival of Shavuot. 150 Jews were murdered. A
thousand were wounded and 900 Jewish homes were destroyed.
With
the coup defeated and the Jews murdered, Husseini escaped to then
pro-Nazi Iran and then in October to Germany by way of Italy. (He was
flown out of Iran on an Italian Air Force plane, and feted by Mussolini
when he landed in Rome).
He arrived in Berlin
and two and a half weeks later he had a prolonged private meeting with
Hitler. There, on November 28, 1941, two months before the Wannssee
Conference, where the German high command received its first orders to
annihilate European Jewry, Hitler told Husseini that he intended to
eradicate the Jewish people from the face of Europe.
Husseini
remained in Berlin through the end of the war and served as a Nazi
agent. In Berlin he broadcast daily diatribes to the Arab world on
German shortwave radio in Arabic. Specifically Husseini exhorted them to
kill the Jews in the name of Allah and make common cause with the Nazis
who would deliver them from the Jews, the British and the Americans.
...
On Nov. 12 1942 the British led forces -- with the massive and
unreported support of Jewish commando and engineering units from the
land of Israel -- defeated Germany's Afrika Corps led by Gen. Rommel in
the second Battle of Alamein. With the German defeat, the specter of a
German occupation of the Middle East was removed. Husseini and Himmler
had planned that under German occupation, the Arabs would expand the
Holocaust to the 800,000 Jews of the Arab world and the 450,000 Jews in
the land of Israel. To this end, the Germans had organized the
Einzatzgruppen Afrika unit attached to Rommel's army. Under the command
of SS LTC Walter Rauff, it was tasked with murdering Jews located in the
areas that were to come under German occupation.
It
is fitting that yesterday, on the anniversary of Hitler's meeting with
Husseini, Germany announced that it would not oppose Husseini's heirs'
bid to receive UN recognition of a Palestinian state that seeks Israel's
destruction.
The difference between a Jewish anti-Zionist and a non-Jewish anti-Zionist
Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld was the founder of the Eida Charedis, which is one of the centers of anti-Zionist activism in the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community to this day (NOTE - Most Haredim are NOT Neturei Karta and that includes the Eida).
He was a student of Rabbi Samuel Benjamin Sofer (the Ksav Sofer), the son of Rabbi Moses Sofer (the Chasam Sofer). He was also a student of Rabbi Avraham Schag in Kobersdorf (who was himself a disciple of the Chasam Sofer); Sonnenfeld moved from the latter city to Jerusalem in 1873.
He became an important figure in Jerusalem's Old City, serving as the right-hand man of Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin and assisting the latter in communal activities, such as the founding of schools and the Diskin Orphanage, and the fight against secularism. He refused to meet with Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany who visited the Old City because he believed that the Emperor was a descendant of the nation of Amalek. Sonnenfeld sent a delegate, a former Dutch diplomat and writer who had become a baal teshuva, Dr. Jacob Israël de Haan, to Jordan with a peace proposal for King Abdullah.
Contrary to a number of distorted accounts, he had a warm relationship with and mutual respect for Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, although the two were vigorous opponents in many areas. Indeed, in 1913 the two traveled together to Northern Israel to try to return lapsed Jews to Torah Judaism.
Rabbi Benny Lau (the son of former Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau) is on the noontime news magazine on Israel Radio every Friday (usually I am in the car then and cannot share his wisdom with you), and just told the following story about Rav Sonnenfeld:
The Mufti, Haj al-Amin al-Husseini (Arafat's uncle) visited Rav Sonnenfeld, and said, "You are anti-Zionists and we are anti-Zionists. Why don't we work together?"
Rav Sonnenfeld's response: "We cannot work together. We hate what is goyish (non-Jewish) about the Zionists, while you hate what is Jewish about them."
I think that's a great story that goes a long way toward explaining the sometimes conflicted feelings that much of the Haredi community (of which Rav Kook was also a part - his philosophy is widely admired in the National Religious community today) has toward the state.
The Mufti tells the truth: The Arabs sold the land to the Jews
The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj al-Amin al-Husseini, will never be accused of loving Jews. In fact, 70 years ago today, the Mufti, who was Yasser Arafat's uncle, met with Adolph Hitler in Berlin to discuss the 'final solution' to the 'Jewish problem.'
In 1937, the Mufti testified before the Peel Commission, which was looking into the causes of unrest between Jews and Arabs in what was then known as 'Palestine.' The Mufti made a stunning admission: Most of the land that belonged to the Jews, which we are constantly accused of 'stealing,' had actually been purchased by the Jews from the Arabs. And the Arabs were what we lawyers call willing sellers.
The Peel Commission report had some very salutary things to say about the Zionists and their impact on the land and on Arab society and economy. One of the most important for debunking Arab anti-Israel accusations is:
“The Arab population shows a remarkable increase since 1920, and it has had some share in the increased prosperity of Palestine. Many Arab landowners have benefited from the sale of land and the profitable investment of the purchase money. Thefellaheen (Arab peasants)are better off on the whole than they were in 1920. This Arab progress has been partly due to the import of Jewish capital into Palestine and other factors associated with the growth of the (Jewish) National Home. In particular, the Arabs have benefited from social services which could not have been provided on the existing scale without the revenue obtained from the Jews…Much of the land (being farmed by the Jews) now carrying orange groves was sand dunes or swamp and uncultivated when it was purchased…There was at the time of the earlier sales little evidence that the owners possessed either the resources or training needed to develop the land.” The land shortage decried by the Arabs “…was due less to the amount of land acquired by Jews than to the increase in the Arab population.” (Chapter V in the report).
El-Husseini’s interview on January 12, 1937 was preserved in the Commission’s notes and referenced, although not published, in the full report. It has been summarized by a number of scholars, including Kenneth Stein, The Land Question in Palestine 1917-1939 (Univ. of North Carolina Press, 2009) and Howard M. Sachar, A History of Israel from the Rise of Zionism to our Time (Alfred A. Knopf, 1976); and a detailed analysis with quotations from the interview can be found in Aaron Kleiman’s The Palestine Royal Commission, 1937 (Garland Publications, 1987, pp. 298ff.).
The selections from the interview presented below can be found on line here and here. Sir Laurie Hammond, a member of the Peel Commission, interviewed the Mufti about his insistence to the Commission that Zionists were stealing Arab land and driving peasants into homelessness. He spoke through an interpreter.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Would you give me the figures again for the land. I want to know how much land was held by the Jews before the Occupation.
MUFTI: At the time of the Occupation the Jews held about 100,000 dunams.
SIR L. HAMMOND: What year?
MUFTI: At the date of the British Occupation.
SIR L. HAMMOND: And now they hold how much?
MUFTI: About 1,500,000 dunams: 1,200,000 dunams already registered in the name of the Jewish holders, but there are 300,000 dunams which are the subject of written agreements, and which have not yet been registered in the Land Registry. That does not, of course, include the land which was assigned, about 100,000 dunams.
SIR L. HAMMOND: What 100,000 dunams was assigned? Is that not included in, the 1,200,000 dunams? The point is this. He says that in 1920 at the time of the Occupation, the Jews only held 100,000 dunams, is that so? I asked the figures from the Land Registry, how much land the Jews owned at the time of the Occupation. Would he be surprised to hear that the figure is not 100,000 but 650,000 dunams?
MUFTI: It may be that the difference was due to the fact that many lands were bought by contract which were not registered.
SIR L. HAMMOND: There is a lot of difference between 100,000 and 650,000.
MUFTI: In one case they sold about 400,000 dunams in one lot.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Who? An Arab?
MUFTI: Sarsuk. An Arab of Beyrouth.
SIR L. HAMMOND: His Eminence gave us a picture of the Arabs being evicted from their land and villages being wiped out. What I want to know is, did the Government of Palestine, the Administration, acquire the land and then hand it over to the Jews?
MUFTI: In most cases the lands were acquired.
SIR L. HAMMOND: I mean forcibly acquired-compulsory acquisition as land would be acquired for public purposes? < MUFTI: No, it wasn’t.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Not taken by compulsory acquisition?
MUFTI: No.
SIR L. HAMMOND: But these lands amounting to some 700,000 dunams were actually sold?
MUFTI: Yes, they were sold, but the country was placed in such conditions as would facilitate such purchases.
SIR I HAMMOND: I don’t quite understand what you mean by that. They were sold. Who sold them?
MUFTI: Land owners.
SIR I HAMMOND: Arabs?
MUFTI: In most cases they were Arabs.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Was any compulsion put on them to sell? If so, by whom?
MUFTI: As in other countries, there are people who by force of circumstances, economic forces, sell their land.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Is that all he said?
MUFTI: A large part of these lands belong to absentee landlords who sold the land over the heads of their tenants, who were forcibly evicted. The majority of these landlords were absentees who sold their land over the heads of their tenants. Not Palestinians but Lebanese.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Is His Eminence in a position to give the Commission a list of the people, the Arabs who have sold lands, apart from those absentee landlords?
MUFTI: It is possible for me to supply such a list.
SIR L. HAMMOND: I ask him now this: does he think that as compared with the standard of life under the Turkish rule the position of the fellahin in the villages has improved or deteriorated?
MUFTI: Generally speaking I think their situation has got worse.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Is taxation heavier or lighter?
MUFTI: Taxation was much heavier then, but now there are additional burdens.
SIR L. HAMMOND: I am asking him if it is now, the present day, as we are sitting together here, is it a fact that the fellahin has a much lighter tax than he had under the Turkish rule? Or is he taxed more heavily?
MUFTI: The present taxation is lighter, but the Arabs nevertheless have now other taxation, for instance, customs.
LORD PEEL: And the condition of the fellahin as regards, for example, education. Are there more schools or fewer schools now?
MUFTI: They may have more schools, comparatively, but at the same time there has been an increase in their numbers.
The Hajj Amin el-Husseini, the intractable opponent of Zionism, a Jew-hater on par with Hitler, admitted under questioning that no Arab land was stolen; no Arabs were wiped out, no villages destroyed. Rather, the Jews bought hundreds of thousands of dunam (about ¼ of an acre) of land from willing sellers, often from absentee Arab landowners. Moreover, thanks in part to the Zionists and the British, the quality of life for Palestine’s Arab peasantry was vastly improved, with less taxation, more schools, and an increase in Arab population.
The next time someone spouts the Arab line about how Zionists came and stole Arab land and drove Arabs out, just quote the Mufti.
Here's betting that the people who come out to defend the 'Palestinians' on this blog will ignore this post. By the way, in From Time Immemorial, Joan Peters quotes extensively from the Peel Commission testimony. It's no small wonder why.

Mohamed ElBaradei: Muslim Brotherhood not extremist, like Evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews
Putative Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei tells ABC's Christiane Amanpour that the Muslim Brotherhood is 'not extremist' and is no different than Evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews.
The interview starts around the 2:00 mark, and the discussion of the Muslim Brotherhood runs from about 4:35 to 5:00.
Obama encouraging Muslim Brotherhood to be part of post-Mubarak government
For those who missed my earlier post on the connection between the Muslim Brotherhood and Nazism, and between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, please go back and read it before you read this post.
Ostensibly knowing everything I wrote in that post, the Obama administration is encouraging making the Muslim Brotherhood a part of the post-Mubarak government in Egypt (Hat Tip: Gates of Vienna, who has lots more comments here).
The Obama administration said Monday for the first time that it supports a role for groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned Islamist organization, in a reformed Egyptian government.
The organization must reject violence and recognize democratic goals if the U.S. is to be comfortable with it taking part in the government, the White House said. But by even setting conditions for the involvement of such "nonsecular" groups, the administration took a surprise step in the midst of the crisis enveloping Egypt for the past week.
If those conditions sound familiar, they should. They parallel the conditions for acceptance of Hamas as a legitimate actor in the Israeli-'Palestinian' conflict (acceptance of Israel's right to exist, acceptance of past agreements, renunciation of violence). And they represent a radical departure from the United States' statement two weeks ago that it would cut off all assistance to Lebanon if a new government was formed by a Hezbullah-led block.
Furthermore, even if the Brotherhood accepted these conditions, why should they be believed? Hasn't the Obama administration heard of taqiyya?
What the US should be doing is saying, "while we have no control over what the Egyptian people decide, we will not continue to financially assist a government which abrogates any of its treaty obligations with Israel, or which includes any Islamist or other repressive party." That would square with what the US has done (and should be doing) in Lebanon (with Hezbullah) and in Gaza (with Hamas).
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said a reformed government "has to include a whole host of important nonsecular actors that give Egypt a strong chance to continue to be (a) stable and reliable partner."
If anything, the opposite is true. If a 'reformed government' includes certain non-secular actors - like the Brotherhood - there is virtually no chance that it will ever be a stable and reliable partner for anything.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the largest and best-organized Egyptian opposition group, with an estimated 600,000 members, many of them educated, middle-class men. It has disavowed terrorism and violence, but its inclusion in any government would likely be deeply controversial among U.S. allies, especially in Israel, because it advocates tearing up Egypt's peace treaty with the Jewish state.
So now we are expected to believe that there is a difference between the Brotherhood's 'political' and 'military' 'wings,' as some would have us believe about Hezbullah? Maybe we can rename Hamas' Izzedein al-Qassam as the Brotherhood's 'military wing'?
Here's a deeply disturbing article about Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, and why we should all fear their coming to power.
What you haven't been told is this: the Moslem Brothers were a small, unpopular group of anti-modern fanatics unable to attract members, until they were adopted by Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich beginning in the 1930s. Under the tutelage of the Third Reich, the Brothers started the modern jihadi movement, complete with agenocidal program against Jews. In the words of Matthias Kuntzel, "The significance of the Brotherhood to Islamism is comparable to that of the Bolshevik Party to communism: It was and remains to this day the ideological reference point and organizational core for all later Islamist groups, including al-Qaeda and Hamas."
What is equally ominous for Jews and Israel is that despite Mubarak's pragmatic co-existence with Israel for the last 30 years, every Egyptian leader from Nasser, through Sadat, to Mubarak, has enshrined Nazi Jew-hatred in mainstream Egyptian culture, out of both conviction and political calculation. Nasser, trained by Nazis as a youth, spread the genocidal conspiracy theories of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, making it a best seller throughout the Arab world. On the Ramadan following 9/11, Mubarak presided over a 30-week long TV series dramatizing the Elders and its genocidal message.
It is impossible to assess the danger posed by a takeover of Egypt today by the Moslem Brothers without knowing that Nazism launched the Brothers and is still at their core. This response to modernity and to Jews was not predetermined by Egyptian history or culture. It was Germany under Hitler that changed the course of history for Egypt and the Middle East.
How do we know all this? We know it because the Third Reich was a meticulous keeper of records. We have the memos, the planning documents, the budgets, even photos and films of the Reich's spectacularly success campaign, implemented by the Moslem Brothers, to turn the Middle East into a hotbed of virulent Jew-hatred. We have the minutes, the photo and the memo of understanding, when Hitler and the head of the Moslem Brothers in Palestine, the Mufti of Jerusalem, shook hands on a plan for a Final Solution in the Middle East.
We have the records of this meeting, in which Hitler and the head of the Moslem Brothers in Palestine shook hands on a Final Solution for the Middle East - years before the creation of Israel.
The Moslem Brothers helped Hitler succeed in genocide by slamming shut the door to safety in Palestine. This was a key part of the success of the Final Solution. The anti-Jewish riots in Palestine that lead the British to cave to Arab pressure and shut off Jewish escape are well known -- how many of us know they were funded by Hitler? Winston Churchill protested the closing of Palestine to the Jews in the House of Commons, arguing against the appeasement of Nazi-funded Arab violence :
"So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population. ...We are now asked to submit, and this is what rankles most with me, to an agitation which is fed with foreign money and ceaselessly inflamed by Nazi and by Fascist propaganda."
Who knows how many Jews would have escaped Hitler if the Jewish National Home in Palestine had remained open to them?
I mentioned in an earlier post that one of the things that really bothers me about the coverage of the Shepherd's Hotel renovation and reconstruction are all the references to it being 'historic' and a 'landmark' when it has sat vacant and rundown for years. I'm not the only one who is bothered by that. Here's Jonathan Tobin.
When the New York Times reported the fact that ground was being broken for the new housing in Sheikh Jarrah in a story published on Sunday, what it did was to focus on the destruction of what it claimed was a Palestinian “landmark.” What landmark, you ask? Was it a medieval structure that in some way represents the longstanding Arab presence in the city or its culture? No. The building that was toppled to make way for some new apartment houses was just a large home that was built in the 1930s as a villa for one of the most notorious figures in 20th-century history: Haj Amin al-Husseini, the mufti of Jerusalem. Husseini may never have spent much time in what eventually was renamed the Shepherd Hotel, but he did make his mark on the region by inspiring bloody pogroms against the Jews then living in the country. After the outbreak of World War II, he joined forces with the Nazis, meeting with Hitler and then spending the war making Arabic propaganda broadcasts for the Axis and successfully recruiting Muslims (mostly Bosnians) to serve in a special SS brigade. He was promised that, in the event of a German victory, he would be made the puppet ruler of what is now Israel, where he would assist the Nazis in the massacre of the several hundred thousand Jews who lived there.
That a home that was in any way connected to Husseini or any other Nazi would be considered a landmark whose demolition inspired statements of sadness from contemporary Palestinian leaders like Saeb Erekat speaks volumes about the nature of Palestinian politics. That the intended home of the man who dreamed of wiping out every last Jew in Jerusalem is coming down to make room for Jewish homes is certainly ironic. One needn’t necessarily agree with the politics of Daniel Luria, a representative of Ateret Cohanim, the group that promotes Jewish building throughout Jerusalem, to appreciate what he termed the “beautiful poetic justice” of this event.
I've written before about the relations between Adolph Hitler and Yasser Arafat's uncle, the Mufti Haj al-Amin al-Husseini (may both of their names be obliterated). The New York Times discloses that it wasn't just Adolph Hitler who was enamored with the Mufti. Britain and France were also fans (Hat Tip: Daled Amos).
The report details how Mr. Husseini himself was allowed to flee after the war to Syria — he was in the custody of the French, who did not want to alienate Middle East regimes — and how high-ranking Nazis escaped from Germany to become advisers to anti-Israeli Arab leaders and “were able to carry on and transmit to others Nazi racial-ideological anti-Semitism.”
“You have an actual contract between officials of the Nazi Foreign Ministry with Arab leaders, including Husseini, extending after the war because they saw a cause they believed in,” Dr. Breitman said. “And after the war, you have real Nazi war criminals — Wilhelm Beisner, Franz Rademacher and Alois Brunner — who were quite influential in Arab countries.”
In October 1945, the report says, the British head of Palestine’s Criminal Investigation Division told the assistant American military attaché in Cairo that the mufti might be the only force able to unite the Palestine Arabs and “cool off the Zionists. Of course, we can’t do it, but it might not be such a damn bad idea at that.”
And lest you think that the British and the French can be excused, because they didn't know what we know about Husseini today...
“We have more detailed scholarly accounts today of Husseini’s wartime activities, but Husseini’s C.I.A. file indicates that wartime Allied intelligence organizations gathered a healthy portion of this incriminating evidence,” the report says. “This evidence is significant in light of Husseini’s lenient postwar treatment.” He died in Beirut in 1974.
By the way, the Americans shielded plenty of Nazis too. I picked on the British and the French because they were the rulers in this region and because of their relationship to Husseini (with whom the Americans also had a relationship). Read the whole thing.
Elder of Ziyon has created this poster to commemorate a speech by 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud AbbasAbu Mazen in which he praises the Nazi collaborating Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini.
More details on what Abu Mazen said and where he said it are here.
Elder notes that the part of Abu Mazen's speech where he praised the Mufti are only on the Arabic web site and not on the English one (I'm sure you're all shocked). Perhaps someone could provide the Arabic text to President Obama, who fancies himself as someone who understands Arabic, and Obama can ask Abu Mazen about it the next time he sees him.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
