Did Hajj
Amin al Husseini, father of the Palestinian movement, convince the Nazis to
create death camps to murder every last living Jew? In a recent speech,
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said ‘yes.’ Is he right? In
my previous piece I argued that the historical documentation
supports Netanyahu’s claim [1]; here, I am interested in the media
controversy. Like a body
of murky water, the world system conceals its true form beneath its surface.
But poke it with a stick and you’ll stir the fishes. The system reacts. Netanyahu poked and was overwhelmed by
‘outraged’ fishes, flapping madly all over the mainstream media. Their
movements, for those who pay attention, reveal the geopolitical structure of
the system and the position of the Jewish State. These fishes are diagnostic. But
sometimes, as Sherlock Holmes taught, you learn most from
‘the dog that didn’t bark’—or, in this case, from the fish that didn’t jump. I will begin here. One fish didn’t jump First,
consider that Hajj Amin al Husseini’s status as a world monster cannot hinge
on whether he pushed a bit harder and earlier than Hitler for full genocide.
Why? Because there is no question that Husseini played a leading role in the
Nazi exterminations themselves.[2] And Husseini, the
founding father of the Palestinian movement, hoping to complete his
ecstatic, genocidal vision, secured German Nazi training in the postwar for
Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas. Thus was born Al Fatah, later known as PLO/Fatah,
and today as the ‘Palestinian Authority.’[2a] What
follows? That the Jewish State is being pressured to cede strategic territory
to the followers of a Nazi exterminator! Netanyahu’s
bombshell provided a golden opportunity to drive this point home. But the
media preferred instead to defend Husseini’s ‘honor’ from a presumed
exaggeration of his Holocaust role. Revolving around this narrow question,
the entire debate effectively became a distraction and wasted a valuable
opportunity for a political lesson on the real goals of Mahmoud Abbas and his
‘Palestinian Authority.’ That’s revealing. You thought
‘the Jews’ controlled the media? Think again.[3]
The above suggests that powerful people, with great influence over mainstream
media content, are quite concerned to protect the prestige of the
‘Palestinian Authority.’ Beyond the
media, such powerful people include all sorts of ‘authorities’ invested with
institutional prestige who—strutting as custodians of ‘justice’ and
‘memory’—claim special privilege to speak for entire peoples. Enveloped in
this highfalutin pomp, and generously available to the media for quotation,
these ‘authorities’ have characterized Netanyahu’s comment on a minor point as a special and
outrageous crime and—to boot!—an insult to Germans,
Holocaust victims, and the ‘Palestinian people.’ Let us
see... Angela Merkel: Netanyahu let the
Germans off the hook! It
immediately rang around the world that, as one headline blared, “Bibi
Absolves Hitler for Holocaust.” Did he, now? And is calling Husseini out as a
leader of the Final Solution the same as letting Germany off the hook? Yes it is, charged Angela Merkel.
Presuming to speak for “all Germans,” the German chancellor corrected ‘Bibi’
Netanyahu as follows: “All Germans know the history of the murderous race mania of
the Nazis that led to the break with civilization that was the Holocaust... I
see no reason to change our view of history in any way. We know that
responsibility for this crime against humanity is German and very much our
own.”[4]
Notice: it
is Merkel who, by claiming sole
ownership of the Holocaust for “Germans,” in fact absolves whole multitudes
of non-German criminals who participated. (And she blames “Germans” without distinction,
tarring those brave Germans who did resist the Nazis.) By
contrast, Netanyahu’s comment on Husseini absolves nobody—neither Hitler nor
other Nazi Germans. Merkel has to know this. The (quite famous)
principle of responsibility for war crimes was established in her own
country, at the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal. It
states the following: if you are an underling in a military or paramilitary
organization and your bosses order you to massacre innocent people, you must disobey. What follows? That
if underlings cannot invoke ‘superior orders’ to evade their ethical
responsibility, then still less can the
bosses evade theirs by invoking the suggestions
of a recently arrived foreigner! This is
about who did what, not who first
had the idea. Whether or not Husseini persuaded the Nazis, the Nazis and
their accomplices—of all
nationalities—are completely guilty.
(Obviously.) Merkel’s rebuke is absurd. Isaac Herzog: Netanyahu is trivializing
the Holocaust! Ordinary
Jews have cause to worry in that Isaac Herzog, a leading Jew, agreed with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Netanyahu’s comment “trivializes the
Nazis and the share of the terrible dictator Adolf Hitler.”[5] But as chairman of Israel’s Labor Party, Herzog needed to do
more. He needed to speak for Jews, and for the memory of the Holocaust. So he
added: “This is a dangerous distortion of history, and I demand that
Netanyahu correct this immediately because it trivializes the Holocaust.” Did
Netanyahu trivialize the Holocaust? To trivialize, says my dictionary, is to
“cause to appear unimportant.” So let us ask: Why is remembering the
Holocaust important? Many people
think the Holocaust is a ‘Jewish affair.’ They are mistaken. The antisemites
who oversaw the Holocaust wished to enslave the rest of us. World War II, which they provoked, brought
suffering to the entire planet and killed upwards of 54 million non-Jews. In the Nazi orbit, those who
were not killed—untold millions more—lost all their liberties. In order to
protect ourselves and future generations from antisemitism—which makes
victims of us all—we must understand the forces that produced the Holocaust
so that we may spot their recurrence. This is everybody’s business. But at
least nobody will dispute that the Holocaust is important to the Jews. Since Husseini set up
PLO/Fatah (what we now call the
‘Palestinian Authority’), it follows that, by bringing attention to
Husseini’s leadership in the Final Solution, Netanyahu has made the Holocaust
directly relevant to current
Israeli politics, and therefore more
important to the Israeli Jews. So how can Herzog claim that he is
“trivializing”? Not content
with that, Herzog added that Netanyahu’s remarks are “dangerous.” Dangerous? Yes, I do believe they are
dangerous. But to whom? To Mahmoud Abbas. Is this
what bothers Herzog? Is the chairman of the Israeli Labor Party—a man whose
highest calling should be to safeguard Israeli Jews from a new
Holocaust—protecting instead the ideological spawn of a top Nazi
exterminator? It does appear that way. But that is
absurd! Yes. It is
also, apparently, a kind of ambition, and Herzog is swinging for the fences.
If Cantor can show that some infinities are larger than others, then, by
Jove, Herzog will do the same for absurdities. Netanyahu’s comment about
Husseini, he says, “falls like a ripe fruit straight into the hands of Holocaust
deniers...” I had to
read that twice. Can Herzog not
compute a tautology? Holocaust deniers
deny the Holocaust—they assert it
didn’t happen. Netanyahu’s claim—namely, that the Nazi policy of total
extermination was born in Husseini’s head—asserts that the Nazis adopted a
policy of total extermination; it cannot, therefore, logically assist the
claims of Holocaust deniers. Elementary. Do larger
absurdities exist? If they do, count on Herzog to find them. And he does not
disappoint. Netanyahu’s comment, Herzog complains, “falls like a ripe fruit straight into the hands of Holocaust
deniers and puts them in conflict with
the Palestinians” Actually
no—it does no such thing. Now that Netanyahu has drawn the world’s attention
to the Holocaust responsibility of the Palestinian movement’s founder, PLO/Fatah needs Holocaust deniers more
than ever. I expect cooperation between these two groups to flourish. But the
real question is this: Why is Herzog so concerned to preserve unity between
Holocaust deniers and “the Palestinians”? He is a Jew, and the chairman of
the Israeli Labor Party, but I dare say he behaves like a PLO/Fatah nationalist. Who is this Isaac Herzog, really? Yad Vashem: The Mufti Husseini has “no
link” to this! Dina Porat, who is rather impressively sold as “Yad Vashem’s Chief Historian on
Hitler and the Mufti,” quibbled energetically whether Husseini could have
used the specific words that
Netanyahu (who was obviously using poetic license) attributed to him. And, in
a rather amazing lurch, she claimed that “all these actions, Hitler’s obsessions,
have no link to the mufti.”[6] No link to the mufti? Consider:
“Husseini asked Hitler to advance the final solution in the Middle East.” It
is Porat herself who—entirely in
passing—shares this ‘tidbit.’ Is that not a link between “Hitler’s
obsessions” and “the mufti”? Then there
is Husseini’s recruitment of Muslim SS divisions in Yugoslavia, responsible
for Nazi massacres that form an important chapter of the Holocaust.[7] Also not a link, I
suppose, between “Hitler’s obsessions” and “the mufti.” But most
important is how the mufti linked the Palestinian movement to “Hitler’s
obsessions” when, in the postwar, he got German Nazis to train Yasser Arafat,
Mahmoud Abbas, and other founders of PLO/Fatah
(today: the ‘Palestinian Authority’). The point was to belatedly complete
the mufti’s dream, expressed to Hitler in Berlin when they fondly confessed
their obsessions to each other: “to advance the final solution in the Middle
East.” Dina Porat should have made this particular link very clear.
Why? Because that’s her job! Dina Porat is Yad Vashem’s ‘chief historian,’ and the whole point of Yad
Vashem—Israel’s official Holocaust remembrance organization—is to educate
people about the Holocaust so that it can never happen again. One way to do
that, naturally, is to inform Israeli Jews that the organization they have
invited into their midst, and the one that now has power over the Arabs in
Judea and Samaria, is the spawn of a Nazi exterminator. But no. Yad Vashem’s ‘chief historian’
bends backwards to protect the prestige of the ‘Palestinian Authority.’ Who really controls Yad Vashem? This
question must be answered. Of late, Yad Vashem has labored energetically to
rehabilitate the memory of Rudolf Kastner as a
supposed savior of Jews, even
though Kastner confessed
in a Jerusalem court: 1) that he played a key, indispensable role
assisting Adolf Eichmann’s extermination of hundreds of thousands of
Hungarian Jews (around 400,000 people), and 2) that after the war he swore
testimony in Nuremberg to try and get the Nazi exterminators freed.[8] Conclusion Netanyahu
stirred the pond and interesting fishes flapped and jumped. With one
voice, the Western mainstream media, important Western leaders such as Angela
Merkel, important Israeli politicians such as Isaac Herzog, and the very
leadership of Yad Vashem, all reacted vigorously. Always, the bias was to
protect the prestige of PLO/Fatah,
or the ‘Palestinian Authority.’ It would
appear, then, that the system has a definite structure: anti-Israeli. Because
powerful people with key roles in the system clearly have a stake in PLO/Fatah’s success. Since PLO/Fatah is the spawn of a Nazi
exterminator, Israeli Jews ought to tremble at what PLO/Fatah leaders consider success. And they ought to tremble—but
this time in rage—at their own Jewish leaders’ collaboration with this
organization.
Finally,
what is the geopolitical position of the Jewish State? It is no
secret that Israel is a country besieged from the outside, and its borders
seem every day more difficult to defend from the forces gathering all around
it. From the evidence considered here, it also appears that Israel is a
country thoroughly infiltrated by its enemies, some of whom, within Israel,
have rather convincingly posed as ‘Jewish leaders.’ But the
darkest lesson is still to come, in Part 3.
