French Foreign Ministry documents unearthed by Herf explain why this was never going to happen. A diplomatic memo put the matter quite directly: If the French government complied with the extradition request from Yugoslavia, or indeed from any other allied government, “we would unleash a new wave of hostility against us in all the Arab countries, and would also deprive ourselves of the interesting and fruitful contacts that the Mufti maintains with important figures from the Arab world.”
In June 1946, French security forces guarding the house where Husseini was detained conveniently left the door open and he “escaped” to Egypt. The Mufti was granted asylum by King Farouk and received a rapturous reception upon his return. In Cairo, he was greeted as a conquering hero by the founder of the islamofascist Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna. The Mufti, al-Banna declared, was a great leader who “challenged an empire and fought Zionism with the help of Hitler and Germany. Germany and Hitler are gone, but Amin al-Husseini will continue the struggle.”
The people fighting for justice in the 1940s were progressives and liberals. The people who are fighting against justice today are progressives and liberals.American progressives and leftists who later pushed for Israel’s independence first came together to launch a public campaign to bring the Mufti to justice for his collaboration with the Nazis and for possible war crimes. But Husseini was shielded from prosecution by high-level government officials in the US and France who were determined to protect Western influence in the Arab world. In Washington, the sudden concern for the Mufti’s safety came from the same anti-Zionist faction within the Truman administration that later tried to block the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.
That is true. The Green Line is the 1949 UN Armistice Line. It was specifically not to be a political or territorial boundary. Israel does not recognize it as its border. Palestinians do not recognize it as their border. However, those who still believe in the long defunct two state charade consider the Green Line to be de facto borders.So the Green Line was never the "internationally recognized border" of Israel.
The point is moot ,since there is no such thing as "Palistine". After WW1 the Brittish occupied "The Holy Land" and divided it up. 4/5 went to the Arabs and was called "Trans-Jordan". 1/5 was given to the Jews and called "Palestine".Although there had NEVER been a Free State ,Kingdom ,or Federation in all History called "Palestine". And to the Brittish ,who occupied the Land ,the JEWS were called "Palestinians". The Arabs who lived there abandoned their homes so the Arab States ,in 1948 ,could annihilate ALL the Jews in the New-Old State of Israel. It didn't work out that way. So they turned into terrorists. The PLO are terrorists and have NO RIGHT to any part of Israel/That is true. The Green Line is the 1949 UN Armistice Line. It was specifically not to be a political or territorial boundary. Israel does not recognize it as its border. Palestinians do not recognize it as their border.

Israel has never had a defined territory so it is defined on maps by the Green Line.
Thank you Mr. Israeli talking points.The point is moot ,since there is no such thing as "Palistine".
