For reasons we do not quite understand the American left, even its liberal and progressive wings, is all-in for its war against Nazis. By which they mean, Republicans. Strangely, it considers Donald Trump, a president who was strongly pro-Israel and half of whose family was Jewish, to be Hitler incarnate.
And yet, one of Donald Trump’s great achievements, the Abraham Accords, was widely denounced by idiot leftists like John Kerry because it did not have a place for Palestinian terrorists and their cause-- which was, to destroy Israel and to kill Jews.
One understands that Hamas had friends in the Biden administration. Hamas celebrated the advent of Biden by shooting 4,000 rockets into Israel. The New York Times, not willing to miss a chance to display flagrant anti-Semitism, countered with a cover photo array showing the faces of all the Palestinian children that Israel had killed. It used to be called a blood libel, but now, it was acceptable in the house organ of the American left. Link here.
When it comes to real Nazis, the ones you might actually have to fight, the Palestinian cause, from 1933 until today, has been thoroughly intertwined with Nazism. The people who are supporting Palestinian rights and attacking Donald Trump have gotten it precisely wrong. They are fomenting anti-Semitism while pretending to be fighting white supremacist Nazis.
Now, thanks to Adin Haykin, we have a full account of the collusion and connivance between Palestinians and the Third Reich. (via Maggie’s Farm)
I will offer some excerpts, for your interest:
On March 31, 1933, two months after Hitler came to power, Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, called on Heinrich Wolff, head of the German Consulate in Jerusalem. In his report to the Auswartiges Amt (Foreign Ministry), Wolff wrote that Husseini said:
“Muslims inside and outside Palestine welcome the new regime in Germany and hope for the spread of fascist, antidemocratic state leadership to other countries.” In his view, “current Jewish influence on economy and politics” was “damaging everywhere and needed to be fought.”
In the hope of doing economic damage to the Jews, Husseini opined that “Muslims hope for a boycott of the Jews in Germany because it would then be adopted with enthusiasm in the whole of the Muslim world.” Further, he was willing to spread the boycott message among Muslims travelling through Palestine and to “all Muslims.” He also looked forward to trading with “non-Jewish merchants” dealing in German products.
In 1935 Palestinians formed an Arab Party that was inspired by Hitler and Nazism:
In March 1935 the Husseinis also formed a party, called the Palestinian Arab Party. It was, as its president Jamal Husseini freely boasted, inspired by German Nazism. It included the ‘Al-Futuwwa’ (‘The youth ’), modelled on the Hitler Youth, for a while actually called the ‘Nazi Scouts’. The Mufti was on friendly terms with the German consul in Jerusalem and told him that the Muslims of the world, for whom he apparently felt he was spokesman, hoped for the spread of fascism to other countries and would assist a worldwide anti-Jewish boycott.[2]
Racist Palestinians delighted in the Nuremberg Race Laws. Arabs sent delegations to participate in the Nuremberg rallies.
When Hitler proclaimed the Nuremberg Race Laws in September 1935, a number of Palestinian Arabs sent telegrams congratulating him:
“Delegations from the Arab world participated in the Nuremberg marches of the Nazis, during the 1930s, and expressed their common disgust toward the Jews and their joint accusations of the Jews… Upon the publication of the racist Nuremberg Laws in 1935, Hitler received greetings from the entire Arab world, from Morocco to Palestine, where Nazi propaganda had taken root.”
In 1936 the Arab Party was recruiting storm troopers, based on the German model:
By 1936 the Palestinian Arab Party was sponsoring the developments of storm troops patterned on the German model. These storm troops, all children and youth, were to be outfitted in black trousers and red shirts…
The young recruits took the following oath: “Life — my right; independence — my aspiration; Arabism — my country, and there is no room in it for any but Arabs. In this I believe and Allah is my witness.”
Needless to say, Hitler’s regime opposed the advent of a Jewish state. It wanted Palestinian Arabs to be a counterweight against Jews:
A 1937 report from German General Consulate in Palestine said: “The formation of a Jewish state… is not in Germany’s interest because a (Jewish) Palestinian state would create additional national power bases for international Jewry such as for example the Vatican State for political Catholicism or Moscow for the Communists. Therefore, there is a German interest in strengthening the Arabs as a counter weight against such possible power growth of the Jews.”.
As it happened, some Arabs enlisted in the British Army and helped to fight against Germany. In the end many of them defected. Palestinian Arabs were few and far between. And then, far more Palestinian Jews volunteered to fight with Britain:
… many of the Arabs who enlisted were not Palestinians, more than a third of them (3,000 out of 9,000) were Arabs from neighbouring countries who were brought in. By comparison, 136,000 Palestinian Jews volunteered, even though their population was smaller.
“A total of 9,000 Arabs enlisted in the British Army here. Among them are many from across the Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, who came to the recruitment bureaus in Palestine. Many of them enlisted with the intention of acquiring weapons for themselves: indeed, by the end of the war only about half of the Arab soldiers remained, as the rest defected with their weapons from the army. Arab leaders who moved to Germany, led by Haj Amin al-Husseini, a former Mufti of Jerusalem, incited on German radio the Arabs to defect from the British army.
Polls in 1941 showed where Palestinian sympathy lay:
In February 1941, 88% of the Arab Palestinians polled expressed support for Germany, while only 9% supported England
And also:
CIA Report Aug 1942:
A majority of the Palestinian Arabs was fiercely “anti-Jewish” and saw in the approach of Rommel an ideal opportunity to murder all Jews their seize their property.
Nazis were fighting against the Jews and the British. Palestinians were happy to join the fight:
News report of June 1, 1941: Nazis run guns to the Arabs in Palestine. In addition, Nazi war planes taking off from Iraq dropped leaflets inciting the Arabs for a ‘holy war’ against the British and the Jews. The intensive anti-Jewish propaganda campaign conducted by the Nazis is becoming increasingly effective among certain sections of the Arab population.
So, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, Palestinians signed up to fight with Italy and Germany:
After the establishment of the “Jewish Brigade”, as part of the British army, the Mufti of Jerusalem announced the establishment of an “Arab Brigade” that would fight alongside Italy and Germany. In early 1944, Haj Amin al-Husseini formed a group of Palestinian paratroopers trained by the Germans in the Netherlands. Arab Germans whose goal was to poison the water wells of Tel Aviv and bring about the elimination of 250,000 Jewish residents
As for Yassir Arafat, the story shows the same level of engagement with Nazism:
Among Arafat’s first instructors in guerrilla warfare was a former Nazi commando officer imported to Egypt by the mufti. Haj Amin himself encouraged Arafat to recruit adherents to his Fatah terror group during the late 1950s. Once Arafat became head of the PLO in 1968, he continued the mufti’s methods and approach. Mein Kampf was required reading in some Fatah training camps; Nazis were recruited for Fatah and for the PLO, including Erich Altern, a key figure in the Jewish affairs section of the Gestapo, and Willy Berner, an SS officer in Mauthausen death camp. Among the neo- Nazis on the PLO payroll were the German Otto Albrecht and two Belgians, Karl van der Put and the secretary of the fascist La Nation EuropĂ©ene, Jean Tireault.
Consider this a curated selection of the information collected by Haykin. At the least, it shows where the real Nazi sympathizers lie. It also shows that the Palestinians' Nazi sympathies, their collaboration with the Third Reich and their lust to kill Jews does not date to yesterday. It is the basis for their movement.
Muslims/Arabs hated Jews before Mohammed, who killed many. Altho some rulers of some regimes (Islam forbids separate countries) during some eras were somewhat benign.
ReplyDeleteJew Hatred is ubiquitous thru recorded history. Regimes, countries, political ideologies, commercial & fraternal & religious organizations, subversive groups, individuals do - or did - succumb to its foul stupid seductions. Myriads.
I was raised Catholic, taught by nuns. Ironically became agnostic during Easter choir practice.
Catholic/Christian Jew Hatred always puzzled me. Jesus was a Jew. A million other reasons.
For Muslims, it's nice. A congeries of twisted plagiarized tales, told by an illiterate, transcribed on stones & palm leaves, conversions done by sex-crazed wine-wanting bloody maniacs.
But that's just me. --- Rich Lara
