do you believe the mufti encourage hitler and the final solution? (unknown?)
What of all the broadcasts made by the mufti? What of being paid in gold to carry on the final solution in the middle east?
do you believe they discussed it? (unknown?)
Why would hitler pay the mufti to kill jews if it was never discussed? Why was the mufti giving orders to his muslim SS troops if it was not discussed? And the Bosnian death camps under the mufti's SS? Just a potatoes farm?
do you believe the mufti want the jews dead before hitler?
He ordered the killing of jews back in the '20s. He preaching the killing in the mosque and on radio.
They both wanted the jews dead but they never spoke of their vision of a jew free world? Never mentioned it would be better to kill the jews instead? Never spoke of how to kill so many jews?
I'm sure you are smarter than that. You believe the change came by coincidence right after meeting the mufti? Something so critical to them both?
I suppose
You asked me specific questions and I gave answers.
Did the Mufti encourage Hitler in the final solution? I'm saying unknown because I don't know what transpired between them. What I DO know, based on what historians have written, is that Hitler was already applying the final solution before he ever met the Mufti. The Mufti might have encouraged him but it made no difference - he was already doing it.
If you were asking if the Mufti supported the final solution? I would say yes - it's quite clear he wanted Jews killed and was willing to do it for Hitler.
Do you believe they discussed it? I put unknown, but you are right they would have discussed it.
Do you believe the Mufti wanted the Jews dead before Hitler? I put unknown because I did not know.
I'm not saying they never spoke of killing Jews - that is a big difference from saying the Mufti gave Hitler the idea and that Hitler was only innocently going to deport them prior to the Mufti. That is not supported by evidence and that is where Netanyahu's statements fall apart.
Nothing innocent about Hitler, but persecution, killing an arrests came prior to the final solution. After the mufti, there were written plans not just of the camps but for the building of the chambers and oven that would be active in the final solution holocaust. Hitler had not problem killing jew, but to burn in mass numbers leading to the death of 6 million was not part of his original plan.
Hitler had not plans for the middle east other than to keep the british frustrated by the arabs.
Mufti had been calling for the extermination of jews before hitler. Mufti was even by german accounts active in the planning of the extermination.
Just because the mufti suggested or instigated or just encouraged, he was an avid supporter of the death camps. Plans were put in place or accelerated after the mufti's face to face. Mufti carried on what hitler began even after the nazi surrender. They were both guilty, very guilty.
The same rhetoric begun by the mufti was used in Germany and still used by Palestinians. It goes full circle. The same calls for the total extermination of jews were ever they are found, not just in Palestine or Germany. Same calls that are coming from Iran and threatening Israel today.
It is all woven together with the same goal, another holocaust of jews, and in some cases of Christian as well.
Mufti is far from innocent in the planning of the final solution and just become the mufti want the jews dead and not deported does not absolve hitler of any guild what so ever. Same target, same goal, and same cremation, same solution. Hitler, Mufti, Himmler and the others were all part of the formal plans begin in Dec of '41. It was a collaborative effort.
Arafat, hamas and other carry on the same desire for not just the killing of jews but the extermination. You can't take the mufti out of the equation, and including the mufti in no way absolves hitler or the nazis. It just gives a clearer picture of event today.
The question everyone should be considering is how to break the cycle, not excuse it or justify it. How to teach people to end the anti-Semitism and accept them as humans with ties to the land no less than the claims the Palestinians want. How to get each a sense of security and get them each to make compromises that will lead to an agreement and future cooperation between the two groups. First decide who actually has a right to speak for the Palestinians. Can't have twenty groups each with the own very different demands. They also have to agree to recognize Israel and willingness to talk to them.
Jews are not demons, devils, pig, monsters, parasites or mass murders. Palestinians have to stop thinking in terms of wipe Israel and the jews off the face of the earth. Children are taught words don't hurt, but in the middle east calls for violence and kills do. Get the Palestinians to stop teaching every child that can walk how to kill jews, by any means.
Till you can un-teach the lessons of hitler and the mufti, you can't end the fear the jews have for their very existence.
Almost no historians lay the Final Solution at the Mufti's feet and that is what Netanyahu's statement does and by implication - tars all Palestinians as people that can never be negotiated with and can only be exterminated. There is plenty of hatred towards the Palestinians and Arabs from the Jews. It is taught. It is encouraged - perhaps not to the degree it is among the Palestinians, who are also living under an Occupation which I am sure colors their perception of the Jews, but it is there and statements like that of Netanyahu - the country's leader - validate that. How responsible is that? Is he any different from the Palestinian leaders? No.
Jews are not demons, devils, pigs, monsters, parasites or mass murderers. Neither are Palestinians.
What you mean is that none of the historians you are prepared to read place partial blame on the mufti for his part in the final solution. As that is what was actually said, not as you claim that the mufti was the one who issued the command to "KILL THE JEWS"
