MJB12741,
et al,
I don't think that this line of discussion will bare fruit or become productive in any meaningful way.
I'm sure that everyone recognizes the photo of Haj Mohammed Amin al-Husseini and Adolf Hitler
(alla November 1941 Summit); it is quite famous. Most people associate this photo with the WWII Pact and the agreement to the independence of Arab Palestine and post-War plans for the elimination of the Jewish National Home
(assuming a Germany Victory against Allied Forces).
Haj Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, best known as The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and the first Chairman of Arab Palestinian permanent executive organ known as the Arab Higher Committee, was also the President of the All-Palestine Government.
(COMMENT)
There is no question that the World War II Conflict was fresh in everyones mind in the post-War Period leading up to the Korean War era. And that the NAZI associations were a huge negative to have associated with anything. But that was more than seven decades ago. Former enemies are now allies of great importance and economic concern. The images of the Axis Powers a very distant memory.
What is important today, is that the Middle Eastern Nations reestablish the necessary framework and relations for the peace and security throughout the region. As I see the news today, I see that elements within the Palestinian Unity Government are calling for a widening of the conflict and appealing to the Lebanese Hezbollah group (also a terrorists) to unite with HAMAS (terrorists) in battling Israel; a violation of
A/RES/2/110 - Measures to be taken against propaganda and the inciters of a new war; the planning, preparation, initiation or execution of an act of using armed force by a State against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another State --- or
“crime of aggression.”
Right now, the State of Palestine and its Unity Government, have been emboldened and encouraged by the International Criminal Court (ICC) opening an inquiry, paving the way for possible war crimes investigation against Israelis. The actions of the ICC have opened a new avenue for the conflict - no longer preventing but actually widening the conflict to include the coordinated alliance between two designed terrorist organizations against a member nation.
This is what really is important. The alliance of the Grand Mufti with the NAZI Regime 70 years ago is not
(interesting maybe - but not important today).
Most Respectfully,
R
