New Film Footage on the Nazi Arab Mufti Husseini Meeting Hitler

UPDATING 1-10-2011

Anti-Zionism is the anti-imperialism of fools

A video film now being circulated by Bosnian Mulims shows the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini [al-Husayni] shaking hands with Hitler. This a hagiographical film made to idolize and glorify Husseini. It gives a lot of attention to the Bosnian Muslim SS division, the Handschar [Khanjar], which Husseini helped the Germans to organize. Let's not forget that he also helped organize a Kossovo Muslim Albanian SS division called the Skanderbeg, named ironically after an Albanian leader --George Castriota, Skanderbeg-- who organized resistance by the Balkan peoples to the Ottoman Muslim conquest of that region of Europe.

For those who still don't want to acknowledge the collaboration with Nazi Germany of the palestinian Arab leadership, here is more graphic proof. The Handschar SS division was notorious for its atrocities against Serbs, Jews, Gypsies and other non-Muslims.

But those who don't want to believe will probably continuing denying the real history.

UPDATING 1-6-2011 Unfortunately, after getting this blog post ready, we discovered that the Bosnian Muslims who had put up the photo of their mentor, Haj Amin el-Husseini, and Hitler, had taken it down from youtube. Apparently they were informed that it was too embarassing for their own image and for their jihadi friends among the Arabs, like Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, etc., as well as for Fatah which pretends not to be sectarian or jihadist, although their manifestoes and everyday propaganda as well as their indoctrination of their own population reek of age-old Muslim, anti-Jewish bigotry, mixed with some European elements of Judeophobia. The youtube video was at this link:

More new info has come out lately about US and other Allied govt relations with Haj Muhammad Amin el-Husseini [al-Husayni].
1-- a report prepared for the US Congress by American historians, Andrew Breitman and Norman J Goda, "Hitler's Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, US Intelligence, and the Cold War" [description of report here]. The report was apparently released in December 2010;
2-- a new book, Farhud, by Edwin Black [here]. Black's book deals also with the massacre of Jews in Baghdad in the Spring of 1941, perpetrated in sympathy with the Nazis and after incitement against the Iraqi Jews by Husseini. On the Farhud also see: here & here & here & here & here .
3-- the site Bibliotheque Proche-Orientale has many photos, films, pix of documents about the Mufti Husseini, often simply called The Mufti. The site is in French with much English-language material too [here/ici]. The photos and pix of documents do not require knowledge of French. One photo shows the meeting between Husseini and Hitler. One short film clip shows the Mufti arriving for the meeting.
UPDATING 1-10-2011 Former residence of the British-appointed Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini [al-Husayni], converted into a hotel, was demolished today in Jerusalem. The legal demolition was greeted by hypocritical snorts from Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, & the usual suspects at the European Union. The demolition was claimed to be "undermining peace" and such like drivel [here & here&here& here]. The last two articles linked to --from the Jerusalem Post & the Turkish Hurriyet-- remind us that the property belonged to Haj Amin el-Husseini. The Hurriyet article errs in labeling the place where weekly protests take place against Jewish residence, is "Sheikh Jarrah." The Sheikh Jarrah Quarter is indeed where the Mufti's former residence was located. However, the protests are over the nearby Jewish quarter of Shim`on haTsadiq.

Read All About It!! "human rights" watch's military and weaponry expert cum "human rights" investigator Is a Devoted Collector of Nazi Souvenirs

. . . Many lies resembling truth. . .
Hesiod, Theogony, v. 27

Marc Galasco, a top honcho at "human rights watch" and serial smear jockey against Israel in favor of the Hamas, is -- an avid collector and connoisseur of Nazi souvenirs and memorabilia. One of his jobs at hrw is to supply an authoritative mask for smears of Israel based on technical data about weapons and military affairs. He did once work for the Pentagon and is so expert in the Nazi memorabilia field that he published a book about it, with a special interest in the Luftwaffe, the Nazi air force. It makes sense that someone who objectively aids the genocidal aims of Hamas also admires the murderous Nazi armed forces that already carried out genocide against Jews.


Here is photo of Garlasco at a leisure moment. He wears a sweatshirt with an iron cross [eisenkreuz] on it. The photo was posted on a Nazi memorabilia website by Garlasco himself. I feel sorry for his child.

Special kudos go to Omri Ceren of Mere Rhetoric for his research and to Elder of Ziyon.

Garlasco's book is available at Amazon with a retail price of $100 dollars. His Amazon review page is here.

We are living in bizarre times indeed. Imagine a "human rights investigator" who is also a Nazi admirer/Nazi regalia collector. And "human rights watch" had to know who he was and what his pastime hobbies were. The moral corruption of "human rights watch" stinks to high heaven. See our earlier post on hrw here & here & herehere.

Hamas Mouthpiece Denies Arab Guilt in Holocaust

UPDATED reference links 7-24-2008

Denial of Arab Holocaust guilt has been around since the late 1940s, at least. Both Arabs and their Western sympathizers, as well as Communists of various stripes, propagate this big lie. Arab spokesmen repeat the lie in a very touching and extremely hypocritical manner that poorly matches their usual brutal cynicism and lies. Why should we pay for Europe's sins against the Jews of Europe?? they whine. But the Arab nationalist movement as a whole was pro-Nazi and pro-fascist. The chief leader of the palestinian Arabs, Haj Amin el-Husseini [al-Husayni], British-appointed mufti of Jerusalem, took an active part in the Holocaust and in Nazi Germany's war effort. He urged the Germans to murder more Jews, including Jewish children. Although during WW2 itself, the Nazis gave much publicity to Husseini's collaboration with them, and it was never a secret, the pro-Arab nationalist lie machines in Europe, the Communist bloc, and the West [including the USA] have worked to have this history forgotten. Several links below go to articles and sites that document Arab collaboration in the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis.

This pseudo-innocent whining and self-justification by Arab spokesmen also comprises the remarks of Hamas spokesmen. Azzam Tamimi, director of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought in London had the following to say recently on an Iranian TV station:

Are we, the Palestinians, made to pay for the crimes of the Nazis? If the Nazis killed the Jews in Europe, why should the Jews come and live in my mother's house, on my father's land? Is that extremism? If that is extremism, then I am an extremist. If that is terrorism, then I am a terrorist. We are freedom fighters, we are not extremists," he added. [quoted in Jerusalem Post, 3 February 2008].

Not only did Arabs collaborate in the mass murder of Jews in Europe, but they oppressed, persecuted, exploited and humiliated Jews in Arab/Muslim-ruled countries for more than a thousand years --including in Israel. Jews were "tolerated" in the subjugated state of dhimmis. And when the Arab/Muslim fancy turned to thoughts of plunder and persecution, then they did not tolerate the Jews who were subject to them. Nor did they always tolerate Christians who were subject to the dhimmi status too. Naturally, several massacres of Jews took place at the hands of Arab nationalists in Arab-ruled lands in harmony with the Holocaust. Most notable was the Farhud in Baghdad in the Spring of 1941 on the Jewish holiday of Shavu`ot [Pentecost], in which estimates of Jews murdered range from 179 to 600.
Tamimi also said:

Zionists from Europe, helped by the leaders of this country in order to rape my country and turn them into refugees," he said.

It also seems that Tamimi has had very good coaching in psywar and propaganda. However, it is not certain whether this coaching was provided by British experts or by experts who were fellow Arabs. The very claim or imposture that the Hamas fights for freedom is so absurd that only someone schooled in psywar and propaganda techniques could utter it. The Hamas charter makes it clear that it fights for Islam, that it fights a jihad, that it believes in imposing Islam and Muslim law [shari`ah] on non-Muslims worldwide, who will perforce become dhimmis. The Hamas Charter, in its Article 7, includes the medieval Muslim fable that at the End of Days, the Muslims will fight the Jews. The Jews will hide behind rocks and trees. The rocks and trees will cry out: O Muslim, a Jew is hiding me. Come kill him. This demonstrates that Muslim Judeophobia goes way back to the early days of Islam. And Hamas identifies with that medieval Judeophobia, which is indeed genocidal Judeophobia. Earlier posts on this blog report on the Muslim traditions [hadiths] about Muhammad himself massacring Jews.

Arab leaders had helped the Nazi Mass Murderers in the Holocaust

Walt-Mearsheimer argue in their book, The Israel Lobby, that when Arab leaders called for "throwing the Jews into the sea," back in 1947-1948, they didn't really mean it [see earlier post]. This is ridiculous. I mentioned in an updating to that post that there was a historical precedent for driving a hated ethnic group into the sea. This happened at Smyrna in 1922, when the Turkish nationalist army, supported in various ways by both Western capitalist powers and the new, "revolutionary" anti-capitalist Soviet Union, drove Greeks into the sea [see here].

Another reason that the walt-mearsheimer claim is ridiculous, more important in fact than that there was a precedent for driving people into the sea, was the collaboration of Arab nationalist, pan-Arabist, and Arab pan-Islamist leaders with the Nazis in general and with the Holocaust in particular. The chief Arab Nazi collaborator was Haj Amin el-Husseini [al-Husayni], the British-appointed mufti of Jerusalem and the head of the Supreme Muslim Council in "palestine," a body set up by the British which had not existed before. Indeed the name "palestine" [or Filastin] had not been used by the Ottoman or Mamluk empires which ruled the country between the Crusades and the British conquest in 1917.

Somehow, Husseini, who was often called simply "the Mufti" when he was active and people knew who he was, has been forgotten. By "forgetting" Husseini anti-Israel propagandists in the guise of academics, of "leftists" or of statesmen, can pretend that the Arabs, the palestinian Arabs in particular, were innocent in the Holocaust and that therefore the Jews/Zionists were unfairly punishing the "palestinians" for what was a German or European crime. The truth is that the Arab nationalists collaborated in the Holocaust in Europe, Husseini in particular, and also slaughtered Jews in the Arab countries [search for Farhud on this blog]. Such massacres took place in Iraq, Libya, and elsewhere. Anwar Sadat and Gamal Abdul-Nasser and their Free Officers coterie collaborated with the Nazis. Even after the war, both Sadat and Nasser proudly affirmed their admiration for Hitler. In his book, Revolt on the Nile, Sadat expressed regret that the Nazis lost the war, and in particular he blamed Egyptian Jews for causing his and Nasser's pro-Nazi plot, in the framework of the Free Officers, to fail.

Husseini's role was described in 1947 by Bartley Crum, a noted American liberal and member of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine [1946].

Sir Frederick [a British member of the Anglo-American Committee] and I visited the war trials while we were in Nuremberg, and I spent some time talking to the American investigators who were reconstructing the Nazi conspiracy, for the prosecution, from the massive archives which the Allies had unearthed.
I remembered Edgar Ansel Mowrer's scoop in London when he printed the text of an affidavit that incriminated the ex-Mufti [Husseini] in the mass murder of the Jews. I understood that there was a large file on the Mufti in the archives of the Allied War Crimes Commission . . .
. . . I visited Jackson [Mr Justice Jackson, Chief United States Prosecutor at the Nuremberg International War Crimes Tribunal] the next day. I mentioned the Mowrer affidavit to him. He replied that he was familiar with it, but . . . I could see that the subject was unpleasant to him, so I dropped it.
There were others much interested in seeing that the Mufti's story was told. An Army intelligence officer, at three o'clock one afternoon, made it possible for me to enter a room and sit down at a table upon which was a thick file of documents. . .
The record of the ex-Mufti's intrigues was fantastic. This file showed clearly that he had climaxed a record of Fascism, anti-British intrigues, and anti-Semitism by helping spearhead the extermination of European Jewry. I had my hands on a German document signed by an agent of the Mufti scarcely twenty-four hours before Germany surrendered. . . Adolf Eichmann, the Gestapo specialist in Jewish affairs, who had been the confidant of the Mufti. . . And Nazi records show that, accompanied by Eichmann, the Grand Mufti, incognito, visited the gas chambers of Auschwitz. . . ". . . the extermination of European Jewry." The Mufti told Wisliczeny [Dieter von Wisliczeny, a Nazi war criminal] that he "considered this [extermination] a comfortble solution to the Palestine problem." . . . Hitler had instructed that in any ransoming of concentration camp inmates, no Jews were to be included because an agreement had been reached with the Mufti that all Jews be exterminated. . . Negotiations were under way at that time for the ransom of the Jewish community of Bratislava. These negotiations broke down because the Mufti refused to countenance their being ransomed and as a result the entire community was liquidated. . . A letter from the Mufti to Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop, on July 25, 1944, complained of German clemency toward the Jews. . .
. . . On June 5, 1943, he protested to the Prime Minister of Bulgaria [an Axis ally] against a plan by the Bulgarian government allowing emigration [from the Nazi-fascist zones] of four thousand Jewish children. These children, he argued, presented "a degree of danger to Bulgaria whether they be kept in Bulgaria or be permitted to depart from that country." Instead, he said, they should be sent to a place in which they would be "under stringent control --as for instance, Poland." The Mufti's protest was successful. No children's transport left Bulgaria after July, 1943. [Bartley C Crum, Behind the Silken Curtain (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1947), pp 109-112]

Husseini sent a like letter to the Rumanian foreign minister [Rumania too was an Axis ally]. Instead of letting Jewish children leave the Nazi-fascist domain

This time he again suggested Poland, pointing out that they would be under what he called "active supervision," a euphemism for the gas chambers. [Crum, p 112]

Whereas Husseini eagerly had Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust [ie, sent to Poland where Auschwitz was located], Arab propagandists and sympathizers of the Arab anti-Israel cause, like to accuse Israel of killing Arab children. However, when Arabs are doing the shooting they don't much mind. It seems that when Arabs shoot their own children [see here], that's OK.

Sources on the web for information on Arab collaboration in the Holocaust are here and here, to supply only a few of those sources available.
Remember Bartley Crum's book:
Bartley C Crum, Behind the Silken Curtain (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1947)

Note that Justice Jackson, the American chief prosecutor of the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, did not want to prosecute Husseini. This was policy, the policy of the Big Four war time allies [the US, UK, France, USSR]. Husseini was under supervised residence in France after WW2 from May 1945. He was allowed to leave France in 1946 and return to the Middle East where he resumed his Judeophobic intrigues, including agitating for war on the Jews in Israel. So Walt-Mearsheimer are concealing the evidence when they pretend that the Arabs did not really intend to drive the Jews into the sea in the 1947-49 war. The Arabs --such as the Mufti Husseini-- intended a worse fate for the Jews. The fact that the Allies did not want to prosecute Husseini at Nuremberg --his pro-Holocaust doings notwithstanding-- belie two of Edward Said's usual arguments: 1) the Arabs were and are innocent, especially of harming the Jews, and especially of the Holocaust; 2) the major Western powers were always looking to harm the innocent Arabs, to restrain Arab nationalism, to besmirch Islam, etc.

Another important fact that Walt-Mearsheimer don't deal with is that the Arabs in the various Arab-Muslim-ruled lands oppressed, humiliated, economically exploited the Jews for a period of more than a thousand years. That fact too is significant and various posts on this blog have documented and illustrated it.
