Netanyahu Brings Islamic Jew-Hatred out in the Open.

'Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, & the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'"'' So says Islamic scripture's most trusted compilation of ahadith, Sahih Bukhari, in volume four, book 52, number 177. 'The Hour' refers to the end of the world. Muslims consider it to be their ultimate destiny to wipe out all Jews.

Islam has hated Jews from its inception. This is because its progenitor, Mohammed, hated Jews from the moment it was clear that they would never accept his preposterous claims to be a prophet. This is why 'Palestinian' Arabs living in proximity to Israeli Jews always want to kill them.

It is why the Muslim world wants to destroy Israel. It is why the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, cooperated with Hitler during the Holocaust, to the point of recruiting Bosnian Muslims into the Waffen SS, & it was right for Benjamin Netanyahu to say so, as he did yesterday.

Now, it has to be said that his statement that Hitler had no intention of murdering Jews until al-Husseini persuaded him to do so is not accurate. It is, after all, recorded in a conversation with Josef Hell in 1922, that he said this:

If I am ever really in power, the destruction of the Jews will be my first & most important job. As soon as I have power, I shall have gallows after gallows erected, for example, in Munich on the Marienplatz, as many of them as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged one after another, & they will stay hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hygienically possible. As soon as they are untied, then the next group will follow & that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated. Exactly the same procedure will be followed in other cities until Germany is cleansed of the last Jew!

He was, however, happy to just expel them in the 1930s, having confiscated all their property & funds. The mass murder only began once war closed all the borders of the Reich. This does not let al-Husseini off the hook, or indeed Islam. Adolf Hitler remains a figure of adulation in the Muslim world. Therefore, though the details of Netanyahu's speech are askew, the tenor of what he said, & the observed relationship between the Mufti & the Führer, are correct.

The criticism that the Israeli PM has come in for is a bit of a storm in a teacup. Not that the dhimmi press is going to let it slide, of course, keen as they are to bash Israel at every opportunity. Notice how al-Husseini is referred to as a 'Palestinian leader' – a term he would not have recognised in his lifetime – in this report from the BBC today:

Netanyahu Holocaust remarks: Israeli PM criticised

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been criticised for saying a Palestinian leader persuaded the Nazis to carry out the Holocaust.

Mr Netanyahu insisted Adolf Hitler had only wanted to expel Jews from Europe, but that Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini told him: "Burn them."

However, the chief historian at Israel's memorial to the Holocaust said this account was factually incorrect.

And Germany insisted it bore "inherent responsibility" for the crime.

A senior Palestinian official meanwhile said it showed Mr Netanyahu hated Palestinians so much he was willing to absolve Hitler.

Tensions have been worsened since early October by a spate of stabbing and shooting attacks - several of them fatal - on Israelis by Palestinians, and one apparent revenge stabbing by an Israeli. Israeli security forces have also clashed with rioting Palestinians, leading to deaths on the Palestinian side. The violence has also spread to the border with Gaza.

'Sad day'

Husseini, who died in 1974, was a Palestinian nationalist leader who led violent campaigns against Jews and the British authorities in what was then British Mandate Palestine in the 1920s and 1930s.

He fled the territory in 1937, but continued his campaign to oppose British plans to partition it into a Jewish state and an Arab one, allying himself with the Nazis during World War Two.

Husseini met Hitler in Berlin in November 1941, when he tried to persuade the Nazi leader to declare his support for the creation of an Arab state, according to German press reports at the time.

But in a speech at the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem on Tuesday, Mr Netanyahu gave a different account.

"Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time - he wanted to expel the Jews," the Israeli prime minister said.

"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 [Hitler] asked. He [Husseini] said: 'Burn them.'"

However, the chief historian of the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, Professor Dina Porat, said Mr Netanyahu's statement was factually incorrect.

"You cannot say that it was the mufti who gave Hitler the idea to kill or burn Jews," she told the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. "It's not true. Their meeting occurred after a series of events that point to this."

Opposition leader Isaac Herzog said the prime minister's remarks played into the hands of Holocaust deniers.

"This is a dangerous historical distortion and I demand Netanyahu correct it immediately as it minimises the Holocaust, Nazism and... Hitler's part in our people's terrible disaster," he wrote on his Facebook page.

Netanyahu
Erekat
Palestine Liberation Organisation's Secretary General Saeb Erekat said in a statement: "It is a sad day in history when the leader of the Israeli government hates his neighbour so much that he is willing to absolve the most notorious war criminal in history, Adolf Hitler, of the murder of six million Jews."

Germany has also responded, insisting it had "inherent responsibility" for the Holocaust. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said: "We Germans recognise that the murderous racial fanaticism of the Nazis was the historical origin of... the Shoah."

Mr Netanyahu later responded by saying: "I had absolutely no intention of absolving Hitler of his diabolical responsibility for the extermination of Europe's Jews." But, he added, it was "absurd to ignore the role played by the mufti".

"He has repeatedly suggested to the various authorities with whom he has been in contact - above all before Hitler, Ribbentrop and Himmler - the extermination of European Jewry. He considered this as a comfortable solution for the Palestine problem.'"

Husseini was sought for war crimes but never appeared at Nuremberg.
