Bibi correct: Al-Husseini influenced Hitler

Gary Selikow

Al-Husseini was a vicious enemy of the Jewish people, in the tradition of Amalek, Haman, Torquemada, Chmielniki, and of course Hitler. His legacy continues today in the PLO, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, PFLP, Hamas , Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Al-Qaida and IS and the regimes of Syria and Iran, as well as the supporters of the genocidal hate campaign against Israel on the international left (including the ANC/SACP here in South Africa, BDS and Jewish Voices for a Just Peace), and some on the far right (like Pat Buchanan and David Duke).

After Hitler came to power in 1933, Al-Husseini set up a Palestinian Arab youth group, known as the Nazi Scouts. In addition, Arab organisations, modelled on the Nazi Party, were set up in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq.

In August 1995 a graduating class of Palestinian Authority cadets, who would later engage in the mass slaughter of Jewish men, women and children, marked the occasion with a Nazi-style Sieg Heil salute. Fawzi Salim al-Mahdi, a commander of Fatah’s Force 17, Yasser Arafat’s elite Praetorian Guard, which would play a key role in suicide bombings, was known as Abu Hitler, because he named his two sons Eichmann and Hitler.

In 1936, Al-Husseini made contact with the German Nazis and with their backing launched the Arab revolt in which thousands of Jews were butchered to the chilling cry of “Itbach al Yahud” – “Kill the Jews”.

In 1937, Al-Husseini met with Adolf Eichmann in a cordial meeting that would cement the Al-Husseini-Hitler alliance. Eichmann reported glowingly of the “national and racial conscience” among the Arabs of Palestine who hung swastikas and portraits of Hitler in their homes.

That year the mufti fled from the British to Lebanon and then to Iraq. After organising a failed pro-Nazi coup in Iraq, Al-Husseini fled to Nazi Germany where he was installed as a guest of honour, who frequently met with Hitler and was present at the 1942 Wannsee conference where the “Final Solution” to the Jewish question was adopted.

Al-Husseini organised SS Brigades of Muslims from the Caucasus, the Middle East and Bosnia, including the infamous Hansar Brigades of Bosnian Muslims, which killed thousands of Serbs, Roma and Jews.

He is reported to have visited Auschwitz and urged the SS guards there to be more diligent in their work of extermination. In 1943 he interceded with the Hungarian authorities to prevent 900 Jewish children from being shipped to Palestine. The children where instead sent to Auschwitz where they perished.

As the Nazis dehumanised the Jews before the Holocaust was launched, so the Arab and leftist media and educational networks demonise the Jews of Israel in the same way.
