Zionist FAQs: Aren't Palestinians as responsible as their leader Mufti Haj Amin Husseini who collaborated with the Nazis?

Fake Valor: Why Did Zionist Jews Hoist Swastikas On Their Haavara Fleet?

For the average Palestinian, asking this question implies that the Palestinian people should pay the price for the collaboration of a few individuals with the Nazis! Yes, you read that correctly. Once the Italian and Nazi records were examined, only a few Palestinians with the Nazis and Italian armies. Therefore, by any ethical standard, it is unjust and unfair to condemn a whole nation and its future generations for the actions of a few. Not only did Palestinians and many Arabs cease resisting the British colonization of their countries, but they also supported the Allies with men and logistical support. Most importantly, Arabs, in general, did not heed Mufti's calls for Jihad against the Allies, which he declared in April 1941 (read it yourself from big Zionist Benny Morris in the Righteous Victims, p. 165).

God forbid, if Palestinians are held responsible for the decisions of a few, what does that say about the majority of European nations who openly sided with the Nazis! As it will be proven shortly from Israeli and Zionist sources, Zionists and their supporters in the civilized and democratic West have been using Mufti as their favorite deflection tool to mask and hide their fascist past since the 1940s. Once the facts are exposed (mostly sourced from Israeli and Zionist sources), your understanding of WWII's events will be upended; stay tuned.

Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

Since the Palestinian people were promised complete independence after the war with strict limitations on Jewish immigration to Palestine, based on the 1939 White Paper, Palestinians had the incentive to help the Allies win the war (we shall prove soon that the yishuv did the exact opposite). It should be noted that A) several Palestinian brigades were enlisted into the British Army,  B) Palestinian resistance to the brutal British occupation almost entirely ceased during and after WWII (see Arab Revolt of 1936), and C) many of those Arabs (from North Africa, Palestine, and Jordan) who enlisted saw action during WWII, not like Zionists' Jewish Brigades who saw little action five weeks before the war ended!

Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

Yes, we do recognize that 35,000 to 45,000 of the yishuv enlisted in the British army and 32 brave parachutist were dropped behind enemy lines. On the other hand, what is the point of citing such statistics when we know that leaders purposely avoided the meat grinders in North Africa, Italy, and France? Ironically, when Zionists records were examined, we found that so-called yishuv were enlisted in the British army to gain military training and to be prepared to fight the real enemy (those "evil" Arabs) just a few years later (see The Seventh Million by Tom Segev, p. 83-84 & 113). Think about it for a minute: why fight the Nazis, who could bleed your blood and treasure, when the brave Gentiles were doing a good job? To the yishuv's credit, at least they took nice selfies at the front: cheers guys, see me while I bomb the Nazis!

It should be emphasized again that when Palestinians CEASED resisting the British occupation during WWII, two of Israel's future PMs (Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir) were busy bombing the Allies' war efforts. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Zionists' fake valor continued when they knew well that the Nazis were gassing their families in Poland! Allow these facts to sink in for a minute, then ask yourself: i) How Zionist actions and policies in the 1930s and 40s didn't help the Nazis? ii) How Palestinian actions during WWII didn't help the Allies defeat the Nazis? iii) Why does Yad Vashem still celebrate Zionists' fake valor while it denigrated Arab and Muslim contributions in defeating the Nazis?

Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

Shamelessly, many so-called Jewish "historians and editors" have been portraying yishuv's fake valor (especially during WWII) as if it was an insurgency by the "indigenous people" who were seeking independence from the oppression of European colonizers! Such a Hasbarah term, insurgency, would've been way more appropriate if the so-called "insurgency" was against the Nazis who were committing the genocide, instead of terrorizing those who were actively fighting the genociders? Ladies and gentlemen, this is propaganda on steroids!

Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special gold Mendelian in the honor of Nazis' Haavara relationship with Zionists!Adolf Eichmann & Co. coined a special Gold Medallion in honor of the Nazis' relationship with Zionists!

In general, the Palestinian people are proud of the fact that they were among the few who did not collaborate openly with the Nazis. On the other hand, the peoples and governments of France, Italy, Japan, Romania, Japan, Croatia, Finland, Latvia, Hungary, Ukraine, Austria, Bulgaria, Sweden, Austria, ... etc. all openly collaborated with the Nazis. Tragically, many of these people and governments happily handed out their Jewish citizens to the Gestapo. Therefore, it's unfair, if not outright criminal, to exploit Hajj Amin's conduct to eternally condemn the Palestinian people as Nazis or antisemites, while ignoring the choices made by most European nations and governments.

Israel Honored Hitler's Lover Boy (Avraham Stern) By Placing His Portrait On A Stamp

At least the Palestinian people did not harbor nor cover up for Nazi war criminals as the US has done for decades (if you have the time, please watch Judgment at Nuremberg or the truth about Operation Paperclip). If you think Western liberal democracies fought Nazis because they were remotely anti-fascists (as often they are portrayed in the Western media), think twice! If you have 40 minutes to spare, we urge you to hear Rachel Maddow talking about the America First Committee and Christian Front during WWII, then you will recognize how and why fascism is on the rise in the "liberal West"! In the power centers, Nazis and fascists were always dormant behind the curtains!

Why did Lehi (a.k.a. the Stern Gang) ask Nazis for an alliance against GB in Jan. & Dec. of 1941? Fake Valor: Why did Lehi (a.k.a. the Stern Gang) ask Nazis for an alliance against GB in Jan. & Dec. of 1941?

It is worth pointing out that when Palestine was forced to receive persecuted European Jewish citizens beyond its limits, the United States denied entry visas to wealthy German Jews in August 1938 and forced them to return to Europe! Let us not judge the Americans harshly; the Jewish Agency (the governing body of the Zionist movement during the pre-Nakba period) refused to grant those German Jews any immigration certificates as well! Ironically, it was David Ben-Gurion (the head of the Jewish Agency at the time) who wished death to the ten thousand German Jewish kids who were saved by the British (see Kindertransport for details) a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom because they went to England rather than Palestine (Ben-Gurion described such a thing as "Witch Doctor's Medicine"). Much to our surprise, Ben-Gurion's statement was never retracted (which he repeated since December 1938). On top of that, Ben-Gurion and the Jewish Agency NEVER thanked the British people for welcoming the Jewish kids in a hurry! Oddly, to this date, Jews NEVER condemned his blatant antisemitism, which was translated into a policy during WWII and after the war ended in the DP camps!

Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

Let's assume for a minute; God forbid of course; that it was Zionist leaders who did collaborate with fascists (i.e., Mussolini) & Nazis in Germany; would you (speaking to Zionists and Jews) condemn Jews for the decisions of such leaders? Would you hesitate in weaponizing Never Again, antisemitism, and the Holocaust (the same way they are often used against Palestinians), but now against Jews? Be careful of what you wish for; continue reading the next few paragraphs!

JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

IRONICALLY, the shocking truth is that it has been proven that the Stern gang (a.k.a. Lehi) and Jobotinskey's Betar received funding and arms from Italian Fascists to terrorize British forces in Palestine. Actually, Lehi reached out for an alliance with the Nazis in early and late 1941, and it was Hitler who rebuffed them. It is worth emphasizing again that when the Americans, British, and their Arab allies were busy blocking the Desert Fox's (Erwin Rommel) advances in North Africa, two of Israel's future PM's (Yitzhak Shamir and Irgun's leader, Menachem Begin) were busy sabotaging allies' war efforts during WWII, ambushing British soldiers, blowing up the vital Haifa-Cairo railroad supply line, and terrorizing British and Palestinian civilians (Righteous Victims by Benny Morris, p. 174). To add salt into the wound, when Yitzhak Shamir, Israel's future Prime Minister in the 1980s, was asked to explain his group's fake valor, he replied:

Jewish-Brigade, April-1945: Impostering Heroes, see me while I bomb Nazis in Italy. Any taken at al Alamein! Fake Valor: Jewish-Brigade, Italy April - 1945: The Impostering Hero, see me while I bomb Nazis. We wonder: Were any similar selfies taken at the al-Alamein meat grinder?

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." (One Palestine Complete , p. 464).

This paragraph alone should make it clear what was front and center on Zionist Jews' mindset, and defeating Nazism or saving Europe's Jews were the last thing on their minds. Again, when Shamir did this, his family was being gassed in Poland! Stay tuned, more on Zionists' fake valor and treason will be exposed shortly.

Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine? Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

Since these findings have only JUST started to surface lately (and are kept smothered in many Jewish communities), we feel it's necessary to cite one of the MOST pro-Israel historians directly, Martin Gilbert, who wrote:

"Avraham Stern, who had formed a breakaway 'Irgun in Israel' movement (also known as the Stern Gang), tried to make contact with Fascist Italy in the hope that, if Mussolini were to conquer the Middle East, he would allow a Jewish State to be set up in Palestine. When Mussolini's troops were defeated in North Africa, Stern tried to make contact with Nazi Germany, hoping to sign a pact with Hitler that would lead to a Jewish State once Hitler had defeated Britain. After two members of Stern's Gang had killed the Tel Aviv [British] police chief and two of his officers, Stern himself was caught and killed. His followers [chief among them Yitzhak Shamir, who led the Stern Gang after Stern's death] continued on their path of terror." (Israel: A History, p. 111-112)

When Jews are confronted with this unpleasant fact (that one of their groups, Lehi, offered its KAPO service to Hitler in early and late 1941) they deflect by saying that was a fringe group. Yes, that was true, but what kind of a "nation or a people" that honors traitors by naming several streets after Lehi's leader, placing the portrait of Avraham Stern on a stamp, and even named a Kibbutz after him? That speaks volumes; welcome to the Land of Kapos, where traitors got a free pass but those who exposed them were prosecuted and boycotted by the state!

"Report On The State of Palestine" issued on March 28th, 1921 by the Third Palestine Arab Congress to Winston Churchill

Here is the unvarnished truth: there is no justification for Mufti’s shameful collaboration with Nazis during WWII. That said, we should put this into a larger context where the majority of European and Zionist leaders either did similar things or sought an alliance with Nazis as late as 1941. A few things to add in the case of Mufti: A) The British and Zionist forces hunted down Mufti, and only as a last resort did Mufti go to Germany looking for aid after being chased out of Iraq (in late May 1941). B) Mufti didn't formulate Nazi policies as Bibi Netanyahu shamelessly implied in 2015; Mufti's work concentrated on spreading Nazi propaganda in the Middle East and North Africa (see the Washington Post Oct. 22, 2015 for more details). C) Most importantly, Mufti never objected to saving Europe's Jews by sending them anywhere except for Palestine. Michael A. Sells examined the Zionist and German archives looking for the evidence against Mufti concerning this point, and he found nothing (read his paper, Holocaust Abuse, p. 730). Thus, Mufti's main goal was to avoid a Nakba as much as possible. On the other hand, Zionist leaders did peruse the exact opposite policies by focusing ONLY Palestine as a haven for Europe's Jews. Therefore, YES, Mufti was antisemitic, but that doesn't mean he was genocidal. On the other hand, what Zionists did was way more antisemitic and genocidal. By focusing on Palestine, as the ONLY destination for Europe's Jews at the height of the calamity, was the ultimate betrayal.

Thus, in practice, Zionist leaders made sure that Europe's Jews were left with two options: either they make Aliyah to Palestine to join the yishuv, or go to Auschwitz; and lobbied feverishly like hell against any viable thirds alternative. This evil policy persisted even after WWII ended in the displaced persons (D.P.) camps, please read it from the NY Times' editor two years before Nakba in October 1946. In light of these facts, Palestinians have every right to ask:

  • Why do Zionist Jews deflect away from European crimes and direct their hate toward Palestinians? Palestinians only resist those who replaced them.
  • Why are they making Palestinians liable for Mufit’s acts but giving a free pass to Europeans who murdered them in the millions?
  • Which hate speech was worse: Hitler's hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939, or Ben-Gurion's speech (just two months before Hitler's speech) when he incited the murder of German Jews a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom?
    Is it possible that the Haavara Agreement (between Ben-Gurion & Hitler 1933-1940) enabled the devil once Zionists helped break up an anti-Nazi worldwide boycott? Keep in mind that Hitler kept Europe's doors wide open for Jews to leave as late as October 1941 and offered to ship Jews anywhere, at Germany's expense, on luxury liners!
  • Does that explain why investigating Zionists' policies and actions during this period was nixed? Here it is from the NY Times. Palestinians wonder, were American Jews afraid of opening Pandora's Box that could implode their community?
  • When the Gentiles saw how Jewish nationalists (a.k.a. Zionist Jews) were FIRST to break the anti-Nazi boycott, ban the anti-Nazi protest, praise Nuremberg Race Laws, normalize trade & relations with Hitler for 7 to 8 years with no interruption, who can blame them (referring to the Gentiles) for normalizing trade with the Nazis? Think about it: by enabling the devil at his weakest point in early 1933, how Haavara didn’t end up killing Jews instead of saving them?
  • Is it possible Zionists have given European antisemites a free pass in return for political and economic alliance three years after the Shoah ended? Note that this alliance was once predicted by Theodor Herzl since the end of the 19th century.
  • Does that explain why European nations eagerly voted for partitioning Palestine on November 29th, 1947?
  • Yad Vashem Jewish Brigade Fight For Freedom May 8th 2023 Yad Vashem Honors Fake Valor: The Impostering Heroes are being recognized but the Palestinians (who actually saw action fighting the Nazis at the meat grinder in North Africa) have been denigrated!
    Contrary to what we've pointed out earlier, let's assume that Palestinians did heed Mufti's call for Jihad against the Allies during Erwin Rommel's offensive in Egypt. Then, it would have been plausible that Palestine could've become Nazi-occupied. In that counterfactual world, Nakba wouldn't have happened. Despite that, the vast majority of Jews still refuse to recognize Palestinians' service to the Allies' war efforts. On the contrary, Palestinians are being blamed for the Holocaust!
  • Is it possible that Zionist Jews are using Mufti Haj Amin as their patsy to deflect away from their deeds during the 1930s & 40s?

Mussolini's gift to Zionists: Betar Naval Academy in Italy

What makes many Palestinians and Arabs FUME WITH ANGER is that the memories of the Holocaust are being weaponized to paint Palestinians as Nazis & antisemitic, as if Zionist Jews expect Palestinians to love (rather than hate) those who replaced them! Palestinians have legitimate political grievances: they were dispossessed and ethnically cleansed out of their homes, farms & businesses. Such dangerous propaganda tactics have continuously been fed to many Israeli school children from its inception, especially upon visiting the Holocaust museum at Yad Vashem. It should be emphasized that many life-size pictures of al-Hajj Amin standing alongside Hitler were on display at Yad Vashem, just West of Jerusalem, not far from DEIR YASSIN. Ironically, after seven decades of abusing the Holocaust, Dani Dayan (the head of Yad Vashem) just had enough of this Hasbarah on steroids and removed Mufti's picture recently. Is not it hypocritical when many Zionist Jews hold Palestinians collectively responsible for the "ill-fated" choice of al-Hajj Amin, while Israelis and Jews still blind themselves to the choices some of their leaders made during WWII? Sadly, when the Holocaust and antisemitism are weaponized willy-nilly to paint Palestinians as Nazis, how such acts didn't already debase Shoah and dishonors its victims? Ironically, Jews in mass behave as if they don't care, mazeltov!

"Why do Zionist Jews deflect away from European crimes; and direct their hate toward Palestinians? Palestinians only resist those who replaced them".

They don't, I'n fact the Holocaust card is used to replace the Germans in their own homeland.


" Did Zionist Jews ever condemn Ben-Gurion's antisemitism"

No He was a Bolshevik from the USSR meaning he was a Zionist himself
Here is a post on this subject that I wrote after Trump's victory Prior to WWII .... #Zionists were the minority in #Jewish political life .... However they were VERY active, organized and vocal .... They controlled the jewish political life after the war ended specifically after the destruction of #Jewish BUNDS in Europe who lead Jewish politics for decades (more about them in the 2nd link).... Many of them did not mind fascists ideas .... Actually Ze'ev #Jabotinsky (the most influential #Zionist in Israeli politics) looked at #Mussolini as God .... Plus he received training from him ..... The same thing is being done by the Israeli right .... Courting #fascist was never a problem to Zionists .... As the speaker of the Israeli #Knesset said: #Zionists profited from Nazis before and after the holocaust (a link to his book in the 3rd link) All of Jabotinsky followers have been in control in the Zionist politics from the start ...their arguments shaped the movement's direction ..... As of now they have full control .... Plz read Iron Wall article .... Amazing ... It was written in 1922 .... It is the road map .... see #Jabotinsky's profile in the first comment Follow this link for details https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153978802122143&id=694027142
Some grammar corrections and more info: Again that crucial segment of the Balfour Declaration of 1917 about the indigenous Palestinian Arabs of the nation of Palestine: "it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". As for Arabs supporting the Axis powers in WWII this was mostly realpolitik and was because the Arabs were mad, angry, and against the evil British and French colonialist powers occupying their lands (the colonialist British Empire was occupying Palestine and Iraq and supporting the European Zionist Khazar colonialists stealing Palestine and the colonialist French were occupying Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and most of North Africa, etc.) Also a funny point showing colonialist Zionist hypocrisy is how the Zionists still promote Anwar al-Sadat the late ruler of Egypt because Sadat sold out and signed a "peace treaty" (i.e. betrayed the Palestinians, gave away Egypt's natural gas to "Israel" at ridiculously low prices, and in general betrayed the Arab and Muslim world itself) with Zionist "Israel" in 1979. Yet Anwar al-Sadat was actually somewhat pro-Axis and pro-Nazi during WWII, because the colonialist British Empire was occupying Egypt still and had in place their corrupt puppet monarchy King Farouk of Egypt. Read: "As Egypt was under the occupation of the United Kingdom, Sadat was fascinated by Hitler’s Nazi German army for their quick ability to become a strategic threat to Britain." and "During the Second World War he was imprisoned by the British for his efforts to obtain help from the Axis Powers in expelling the occupying British forces." Note that the Zionist Jewish terrorist Menachem Begin (who was once a member of the fascist Zionist Jewish Betar movement of Vladimir "Ze'ev" Jabotinsky who Ben-Gurion even nicknamed "Vladimir Hitler", Betar also was closely allied with Benito Mussolini's fascist Italy) was then Zionist "Israeli" Prime Minister and signed this "peace treaty" with Sadat in 1979!
Again: So yes there were Palestinian Arab soldiers and brigades that fought for the British Empire and the "Allies" in WWII, again this is despite the fact that the British Empire was largely supportive of evil Zionist colonialism in its Middle East policy and was occupying the land of Palestine with the British Mandate of Palestine of 1920-1948. For the evil colonialist British Empire's support of Zionist colonialism/theft of Palestine away from the indigenous Palestinian Arabs see the Balfour Declaration of 1917 wherein the British Foreign Secretary "Lord" Arthur James Balfour promised the European Khazar Zionists a colonialist "Jewish homeland" but even Balfour himself made at least one specific caveat about indigenous Palestinian Arab rights in Palestine. Here is the text of the Balfour Declaration of 1917: "His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." Again that crucial segment of the Balfour Declaration of 1917 about the indigenous Palestinian Arabs of the nation of Palestine: "it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". As for Arabs supporting the Axis powers in WWII this was mostly realpolitik and was because the Arabs were made at the evil British and French colonialist powers occupying their land (the colonialist British Empire was occupying Palestine and Iraq and the colonialist French were occupying Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and most of North Africa, etc.) This same realpolitik led many different non-Arab, non-Muslim peoples to work with and ally with the Nazi Germans and Axis powers in WWII to some degree. For example there was an Armenian legion of the Nazi SS called the Armenische Legion (the Armenians allied with the Nazi Germans because the Armenians didn't like the Soviet Russians, who joined the Allies in WWII after 1941, who were in control of Armenia at the time). There was a Nazi SS legion of Indians (from the nation of India) called the Indische legion led by a Hindu Indian who was angry about the continuing, brutal colonialist British occupation of India (aka the "British Raj"). There were Serbs that supported the Nazis from the ZBOR, the Serbian Chetniks (Serbian royalists), Pecanac Chetniks, Milan Nedic and his pro-Nazi Nedic's Serbia, the pro-Nazi Serbian State Guard of pro-Nazi Nedic's Serbia that looked over specific Nazi concentration camps in Nazi occupied Serbia (aka Nedic's Serbia). I could give tons of examples, again this was all realpolitik of people who were simply against the "Allies" (mostly because of the colonialism of Britain, France, the US government, and Soviet Russia) thus they saw it as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Much like how the United States government supported Saddam Hussein's Baathist Iraq against Ayatollah Khomeini's revolutionary Iran in the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), all government's tend to do a lot of realpolitik actions in their foreign policies.
Hi Stu, there were certainly Palestinian Arab brigades in the British military (despite the fact that Palestine was being occupied by the British Empire under the British Mandate of Palestine from 1920-1948). You can search and find a news article entitled "Bittersweet Remembrance Sunday for Palestinian veterans" AIN AL-HELWEH, By Jocelyne Zablit | AFP - November 14, 2010 Ain al-Hilweh is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. Here are a few quotes from the article: "Mussa al-Hussein may have a hard time recalling dates and places, but the 86-year-old Palestinian does not miss a beat when asked for his ID number when he was in the British army in Palestine in World War II. "5472," he fired off assuredly, sitting in his rundown home in the densely populated Ain al-Helweh refugee camp in the Lebanese coastal city of Sidon. ... "They will come on Remembrance Sunday from Tripoli, Sidon and Tyre, aged 80 or 90... they will travel three or fours hours to get here and they will stand in the sun with their medals on... proud ex-soldiers," Frances Guy, Britain's ambassador to Lebanon, told AFP. Guy said given that the veterans had served less than 20 years in the British army, which withdrew the last of its troops from Palestine in May 1948, they were not entitled to a pension. "The Palestinians are in a particular case because they were chased out of their homes immediately after they served with the British army, and if there is a way that we could help make the end of their lives more comfortable, then perhaps we should be doing that," she said. The veterans, whose numbers have dwindled over the years, receive the equivalent 150 dollars annually from the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League, a charity that provides assistance worldwide to needy ex-servicemen or women. Several non-governmental organisations also provide medical and other assistance on a case by case basis. But for Manhal Freih, 84, a twice-decorated veteran who joined the British army at the age of 16 and who now lives in the Burj al-Shemali refugee camp in the southern city of Tyre, the aid is all but negligible. "We witnessed so much and suffered so much and in return we have received very little," said the blue-eyed Freih whose only keepsake from his military service is a cane. end quote. So yes there was a Palestinian Arab soldiers that fought for the British Empire and the "Allies" in WWII, again this is despite the fact that the British Empire was largely pro-Zionist in its Middle East policy and was occupying the land of Palestine with the British Mandate of Palestine of 1920-1948.
I am wondering if someone can clarify the issue of Palestinian soldiers fighting with the British Army. From what I read the "Palestinian Brigades" were also known as the "Jewish Brigades", so I am wondering if you are referring to them or to some other units I don't know of. I agree with the thrust of this article, but if there is an inaccuracy I feel it should be corrected. On a side note regarding Bosnian Muslims, they were forbidden by their local clerics to assist the Nazis, and in order to recruit them the Nazis had to take the Grand Mufti there to convince them to sign up.
By Haaretz Service Helen Thomas, former dean of the White House Press Corps, reportedly told Playboy in an interview for their April issue that Jews have power over the White House and Congress, who are in the pockets of the Israeli lobbies. Thomas left her post at the White House after she publicly made anti-Israel comments last May, telling the Jews they should "get the hell out of Palestine." The former reporter told Playboy that the Israeli lobbies "are funded by wealthy supporters, including those from Hollywood. Same thing with the financial markets. There’s total control." When asked about her comments that ultimately cost her her job, Thomas told Playboy that "everybody knows my feelings about the Palestinians," adding "sure, the Israelis have a right to exist—but where they were born, not to come and take someone else’s home. I’ve had it up to here with the violations against the Palestinians. Why shouldn’t I say it? I knew exactly what I was doing—I was going for broke. I had reached the point of no return. You finally get fed up." Thomas also clarified that when she said the Jews should go back to Poland,Germany and America, that she was not referring to the concentration camps, but rather that "they should stay where they are because they’re not being persecuted—not since World War II, not since 1945." However, when asked about the Holocaust, Thomas told the magazine that "there’s nothing wrong with remembering it [the Holocaust], but why do we have to constantly remember? We’re not at fault." She then launched into criticism of Israel and its alleged oppression of the Palestinians, accusing the Jews of lacking introspection. "Do the Jews ever look at themselves?" asked Thomas, "why are they always right? Because they have been oppressed throughout history, I know. And they have this persecution. That’s true, but they shouldn’t use that to dominate." The former reporter told Playboy that she is not anti-Jewish, just anti – Israel, saying she thinks Jews are wonderful people. :I’m not anti-Jewish," clarified Thomas, "I’m anti-Zionist. I am anti Israel taking what doesn’t belong to it. If you have a home and you’re kicked out of that home, you don’t come and kick someone else out."
Keeping in mind the close alliance between the Zionists and the Nazis (Haavara agreement, Stern Gang, Rudolf Kastner, etc.) a good quote on the issue of the Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini was made by Lenni Brenner in his work "51 Documents": "[A]s many readers will not recognize the Palestinian 'Grand Mufti' of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husayni, let me introduce him. He tried to get rid of the threatening Zionist colonizers by allying himself first with Mussolini, then with Hitler. After the war, he was seen as a major war criminal for mobilizing Muslims in the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia to fight on Hitler's side against the Red Army and Marshall Tito's partisans."
Hello, I am a British Journalist and Film - maker, and I am researching a film about the Palestinian forces in the British Army during World War 2. I have tracked down two surviving Jewish veterans, and I am desperate to find a Palestinian colleague. If you know of a surviving veteran, or even a relative who knows their story, please feel free to email me at mat dot heywood 'at' gmail dot com Any help would be most gratefully received, and if you have any questions I would be happy to explain more.
One interested in Nazi-Zionist collaboration should definitely read the works of the great secularist Jewish writer Lenni Brenner. Lenni Brenner's two best works on the subject of Zionist-Nazi collaboration are "Zionism in the Age of the Dictators" and "51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis". He goes through issues like German Zionist Joachim Prinz speaking favorably of working with the Nazis in the early 1930s, the "Lehi" Stern Gang and Yitzhak Shamir offer, the Haavara agreement, and into issues of the Zionist Jew Rudolf Kastner (of "Kastner train" fame) collaborating with Nazi Adolf Eichmann.
The fact that Jews and Zionist had their own deals and agreements with Nazi it is not much important or something consider surprise. they always did the same, and while Caesar of Russia was killing Jews for trying to assassinate him many other Jews served in his royal guards who led the executions. The point which a big story made from, about Hajj Ameen were in contact with Nazi and had directly met with Hitler. Is not surprising also and if I were in his place I would do the same. To understand why the Mufti did so and why some Palestinian even got their military training in Nazi Germany such famous name Hasan Salamah and thu al kofol Abdul Latif. We should understand the political seen at that period: 1.Palestinian been forced in 1939 to end their strike (longest strike ever 1936 to 1939) and the rest of violent action against occupation army by their brothers the Arab leaders such King Abdullah of Jordan and King Farooq of Egypt. This strike which causes the occupied army and allied Jewish a lot to make them begging for truce. 2.The continue British dream of Making Palestine a Jewish State by continue arming the Jewish gangs, give military train for Jewish youth inside British camps, and the non stop stealing of lands from Arabs to give it gift to Jewish. Also the continuation of (Legal)immigration. These facts made any leader in Palestine to think twice before giving the Great liar Britain any comfort agreement. And trust them to give you your rights with golden spoon after all these years of lies and betrayal from 1915 will be really committing a suicide crime against whole nation. If I was in his place I will look directly where it can hurt them and to hurt them badly I should look forward to their worst enemy.
Also study the Haavara agreement also called the "Transfer Agreement". In this agreement started around 1933 the Zionist Jewish organizations operating in Germany freely and openly collaborated with the ruling Nazi party in Germany. The Zionist Jewish organizations agreed to pay money to have the Nazis in return provide transportation of German Jews to Palestine. Once in Palestine the Zionist Jewish colonies were given access to purchasing of German farming supplies, etc. Around 60,000 German Jews invaded Palestine via the Haavara "Transfer" Agreement with the Nazis.
Correction: This little Waffen SS militia recruited and organized by al-Husseini was AGAIN Bosnian (not Arab) and was fighting Communists partisans in the Balkans during WWII.
al-Husseini's only roles were speaking into the Middle East on Nazi radio stations and militia organizing. Al-Husseini's only military role with the Nazis was forming a Bosnian Waffen SS unit of about 10,000 men to fight against Communist (Communism often equaled Jewish) partisans in the Balkans. This little Waffen SS militia recruited and organized by al-Husseini was against Bosnian (not Arab) and was fighting Communists partisans in the Balkans during WWII.
Zionist often overemphasis al-Husseini role with the Nazis: There, according to objective historians, the mufti helped the Germans with propaganda and recruiting among his fellow Muslims, steadfastly opposing any German actions that would facilitate Jewish emigration to Palestine (which National Socialist policy had earlier supported). Those verifiable grievances have never been enough for Zionist publicists, however.
You also do a good job pointing out in your article that Husseini had was almost completely ignored that is why he ran away for some safety in Berlin. Husseini actually had the bravery to resist against the British Zionist controlled occupiers. Also on the comment list Gary makes a good point that after the war Husseini's relationship with the Nazis was considered of such little importance he wasn't even sought out by the Nuremburg show trial. The same Zionists again had leaders in the Lehi (Stern Gang) that worked with and got arms from Mussolini's Fascist Italy and offered the Nazis a military alliance. Among them the Zionist future "Israeli" PM Yitzhak Shamir (Yzternitzky)
Those critical of al-Hajj Amin Husseini should acquaint themselves with the circumstances and events that caused him to seek sanctuary in Hitler's Berlin, including being chased throughout the Middle East by the British for his role in the Palestinian resistance, e.g., the Great Rebellion of 1936. Nor should it be forgotten that following the war, his relationship with the Nazis was seen as being of such little consequence that he was never sought out by officials at Nuremberg. He lived out his last days in Beirut. Zionists continually point their fingers at al-Hajj Amin Husseini and unjustly malign him while ignoring the documented collusion with Nazis and Mussolini's thugs on the part of the Stern Gang (including future Israeli PM, Yitzhak Shamir - real name Yitzhak Yzernitzky) and its betrayal of fellow Jews in Europe.
One can't say "never again" about the Shoah and allow things like Deir Yassin to happen. Unfortuantely, the Jewish suffering during the shoah is well known while the Palestinian experience during the al-Nakba has been kept from world scrutiny. How much collaboration existed between the Zionists and the Nazis during the war? Was the Shoah exacerbated by the Zionists failing to help their brothers in the hope for an Israeli state? Why aren't these things known? why is it so hard to find out about the Nakba and the Palestinian people? Why is one called anti-semitic if one criticises zionism? Sorry too many questions and not enough answers. But there wouldn't b a problem if we had the answers.
