Netanyahu causes uproar by linking Palestinians to Holocaust

You saw the picture of Hoover and Hitler, right?

Hoover was an ally of Hitler?

The amazing things you learn from the JOOOO hating left...

A picture isn't everything.

Netanyahu causes uproar by linking Palestinians to Holocaust

JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sparked uproar in Israel on Wednesday for suggesting that a World War II-era Palestinian leader convinced the Nazis to adopt their Final Solution to exterminate European Jews.

Holocaust experts slammed Netanyahu's comments as historically inaccurate and serving the interests of Holocaust deniers by lessening the responsibility of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Critics also said the statement amounts to incitement against modern-day Palestinians in the midst of a wave of violent unrest and Israeli-Palestinian tensions.

Speaking to a group of Jewish leaders Tuesday, Netanyahu tried to use a historical anecdote to illustrate his point that Palestinian incitement surrounding Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site goes back decades.

He said the World War II-era Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Nazi sympathizer Haj Amin al-Husseini, instigated Palestinian attacks on Jews over lies that they planned to destroy the Temple Mount, known to Muslims at the Noble Sanctuary.

The hilltop compound in Jerusalem's Old City, housing the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the gold-topped Dome of the Rock, lies at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and completing claims over it are the source of the current round of violence. It is the third-holiest site in Islam and the holiest site in Judaism, where the two Jewish biblical Temples once stood.

Netanyahu said al-Husseini played a "central role in fomenting the final solution" by trying to convince Hitler to destroy the Jews during a 1941 meeting in Berlin.

"Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews," Netanyahu told the group. "And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, 'If you expel them, they'll all come here.' 'So what should I do with them?' he asked. He said, 'Burn them.'"

Historians quickly noted that the Nazi Final Solution was already well underway at this point, with several concentration camps up and running. Hitler had previously repeatedly declared his lethal intentions for the Jews.

Moshe Zimmermann, a prominent Holocaust and anti-Semitism researcher at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, said Netanyahu made a "far-reaching argument" for political purposes that didn't hold water. He said the comments essentially made Netanyahu a Holocaust denier.

"Any attempt to deflect the burden from Hitler to others is a form of Holocaust denial," he told The Associated Press.

Al-Husseini was an enthusiastic Nazi supporter. But Zimmermann called him a "lightweight" who was pleading with Hitler for assistance in getting rid of the British Mandate and the Jewish immigrants coming to the Holy Land. He said there was no evidence al-Husseini had any real influence on Hitler...

Yes, really. Read the Hamas Charter.

We're not talking about the Hamas Charter - try to discuss the topic.

Throughout the islamist middle east, actions speak with the utmost clarity. The Islamist proscription is to rid that portion of the globe of competing ethnicities / religions.

Try to be honest.

Start a topic on Islamists then - I realize that is your personal obsession (how's that for honesty)? This topic isn't about Islamists/Muslims - it's about Netanyahu's words and their accuracy and whether or not it helps the current situation at all.

He is not saying anything that was not already known. Mufti was a major influence on the "final solution". He was given nazi gold to carry on the extermination in the middle east. Many books and documents have stated this. Which one actually came up with the idea, flip a coin, but the mufti was a major encouragement and advocate in eastern Europe and the middle for the massacres.

Why are people so surprised?

That is exactly the issue Aris - he was not. That is per historians who research that - not popular media and opinion.

From the OP:

"Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews," Netanyahu told the group. "And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, 'If you expel them, they'll all come here.' 'So what should I do with them?' he asked. He said, 'Burn them.'"

​

So what was Netanyahu's purpose in making these statements?

Did anything come out of the relationship between the Mufti and the NAZIs? And what was Hitler's reaction when the Mufti suggested Jewish genocide? Why were Arabs dressed up in SS suits? So many questions, so little time.

Hitler already had Jewish Genocide in place and in action before the Mufti.

JERUSALEM — Israeli historians and opposition politicians on Wednesday joined Palestinians in denouncing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel for saying it was a Palestinian, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, who gave Hitler the idea of annihilating European Jews during World War II.
....Prof. Meir Litvak, a historian at Tel Aviv University, called the speech “a lie” and “a disgrace.” Prof. Moshe Zimmermann, a specialist of German history at Hebrew University, said, “With this, Netanyahu joins a long line of people that we would call Holocaust deniers.”

Isaac Herzog, leader of the opposition in the Israeli Parliament, said the accusation was “a dangerous historical distortion,” and he demanded that Mr. Netanyahu “correct it immediately.”

Even Moshe Yaalon, the defense minister and a senior member of Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud Party, said in a radio interview that “history is actually very, very clear.”

“Hitler initiated it,” he said. “Haj Amin al-Husseini joined him.”

...“Mr. Netanyahu blamed the Palestinians for the Holocaust and completely absolved Adolf Hitler’s heinous and reprehensible genocide of the Jewish people,” Mr. Erekat said in a statement. “It is a sad day in history when the leader of the Israeli government hates his neighbor so much that he is willing to absolve the most notorious war criminal in history.”

...There is broad agreement that the mufti, who helped instigate Arab pogroms against Jews in the holy land in the 1920s, collaborated with the Nazis and promoted genocide over deportation of Europe’s Jews as part of his virulent opposition to Zionism. He escaped prosecution in the Nuremberg trials and died in 1974.

Mark Regev, the prime minister’s spokesman, referred reporters to Mr. Netanyahu’s 1993 book, “A Place Among the Nations,” which details the mufti’s close ties to Nazis, protests of their plan to expel European Jews and support of the Final Solution, quoting from the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals.

“The mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser” in the “execution of this plan,” the book quotes Adolf Eichmann’s deputy, Dieter Wisliceny, as having testified. “He was one of Eichmann’s best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures.”

But the book says that the mufti “met Hitler in person for the first time” on Nov. 28, 1941 — two months before the Final Solution was formalized and the construction of extermination camps accelerated, according to historians, but after the mass murder of Jews had begun, and roughly one million had perished.

Professor Zimmermann, the Hebrew University historian, said on Israel Radio that Mr. Netanyahu was “doing something he must not do,” and that in “the protocol” of the 1941 meeting between the mufti and Hitler, “the text that Netanyahu speaks of does not appear.”

“He moves the responsibility of the Holocaust, for the destruction of the Jews, to the mufti and the Arab world,” Professor Zimmermann said. “This is a trick intended to stain the Arabs of today because of the Arabs of the past. To pile on the Arabs of the past by easing up on the Germans of the past.”

Professor Litvak of Tel Aviv University said the speech was “the height of the distortion of history.”

“Hitler did not need Husseini to convince him.” he said on Army Radio. “Hitler spoke of the destruction of the Jews in his famous speech in 1939, in which he prophesied that if war will break out and the Jews started it, the result will be the destruction of the Jewish race. He repeated these declarations.”

 

[Uncensored2008]

I posted an article, that contained statements by Netanyahu that were patently false - as pointed out by historians who specialize in Holocaust history and anti-semtism. Are you accusing them of lying?

False?

{He said the World War II-era Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Nazi sympathizer Haj Amin al-Husseini, instigated Palestinian attacks on Jews over lies that they planned to destroy the Temple Mount, known to Muslims at the Noble Sanctuary.}

Well, that isn't "false," but rather historical fact.

 

[browsing deer]

Hitler was a loon who was crazy beyond crazy. He had the trains carrying munitions to the front wait for trains carrying victims (NOT exclusively jews) to the slaughter.
The mufti encouraged him, but he was going to do it anyway.

 

[Humanity]

Looks to me like the Palestinians are continuing the Holocaust by getting in bed with ISIS.


While Netanyahu demanded that the world condemn Abbas for incitement and support of terror, UN Chief Ban Ki-moon equated Palestinian terrorism with Israeli self-defense, calling for the reduction of violence on both sides.

By: Aryeh Savir, World Israel News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu charged Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas of joining forces with extreme Islamic terror elements and of being the primary driving force behind the wave of terror attacks that has plagued Israel over the past weeks.

“Your visit comes at a troubling time,” Netanyahu told UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon at a press conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday. Ban came to Israel on a surprise visit in an attempt to calm the tensions in the country.

“In recent weeks, Israelis have been deliberately run over, shot, stabbed and hacked to death, and in large part this is because President Abbas has joined ISIS (the Islamic State terror organization) and Hamas in claiming that Israel threatens the al-Aqsa mosque,” Netanyahu declared.


Netanyahu: Abbas has joined forces with ISIS and Hamas

As has been said previously, Netanyahu is NOT acting like a leader wanting peace...

His scare mongering is nothing more than incitement...

Fox News reported...

Oh dear boy...

President Hoover meeting Hitler

America linked to the Holocaust???

Agree. The Mufti was a hateful, antisemitic man - but he was insignificant in the scope of Hitler's agenda. Delibrately creating false statements is reprehensible given the current tensions and violence.

I always thought the NIT AND YARWHO was somewhat of a MAD BASTARD,.......always trying to rewrite History like the NUTTER ZIONISTS........well,the extermination of the Jews by Hitler and the Nazis started in 1938 and the rejected Mufti from Jerusalem(who the Palestinians had rejected earlier) didn't even have discussions with the Nazi Scum until 1941,unlike the Zionist Movement Scum,were collaborating to send Jews to the Gas Chambers much earlier..........The World think the NIT IS BONKERS,even Angala Merkle has come out and stated that Germans/Germany were responsible...So much for the Zionist Mindset in Israel today.......As I said A PACK OF RIGHT WING NUTTERS,..........There is something going badly wrong in Israel today,which is manifested in DERISION BY THE REST OF THE WORLD on the NIT today.

How is indisputable historical fact 'uproarable?' Arabs were Nazi allies against the Jews, that iosn't in dispute. So how is mentioning it in any way controversial?

Because the Time-Line is wrong,and the NIT said that the Mufti made the Holocaust a reality..but it was happening years before with the help of the Zionists..YOU IDIOT

 

[montelatici]

Desperation on the part of the Zionists. After Ban Ki-Moon stated that the cause of the uprising is the ILLEGAL occupation and accusing Israel's regular army of killing children, NetanNuthead decided to blame the Palestinians for the Holocuast. Oh dear.
