Eichmann’s
deputy, Dieter Wisliceny, provided the following chilling testimony at
Nuremberg: “The Mufti played a role in the decision to destroy the Jews of
Europe. The importance of his role cannot be ignored. . . The Mufti
was one of the initiators of the methodical destruction of the Jews of Europe
and was a partner and consultant to Eichmann and Hitler on how to execute the
plan. . .” —Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking about Hajj Amin al Husseini, father of
the Palestinian movement, at Bar Ilan University |

___________________________________________________________
Here is a portion of what he said: [Quote from Netanyahu’s speech beings here] . . .The
undisputed leader of the Palestinian national movement in the first half of
the 20th century was Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini. The Mufti was the living
spirit behind those same attacks I described [against innocent Jews in
British Mandate Palestine]. . . All this is known, but here are some facts
about the Mufti’s activities that are less well known: On November
28, 1941, the Mufti flew to Berlin and met with Hitler. He expressed to
Hitler his readiness to cooperate with Germany in any way. And he did so—both
by recruiting Muslim fighters to join the ranks of the S.S. in the Balkans
and by broadcasting propaganda for the Nazis. . . Between 1942 and 1944, he
worked from his base in Berlin and tried to prevent Jews from being saved. .
. . . .On May
13, 1943, for example, the Mufti submitted a letter to the Nazi Foreign
Minister Ribbentrop in which he objected to the understandings Germany made
which allowed for the deportation of 4,000 Jewish children from Bulgaria. He
asked to see, “everyone,” and I quote, “everyone wiped out”. Eichmann’s
deputy, Dieter Wisliceny, provided the following chilling testimony at
Nuremberg: “The Mufti played a role in the decision to destroy the Jews of
Europe. The importance of his role cannot be ignored. The Mufti repeatedly
proposed to the authorities with whom he was in contact, first and foremost
Hitler, Ribbentrop and Himmler, to destroy the European Jews. He saw in that
an appropriate solution to the Palestinian question”. Wisliceny even provided
hearsay evidence that the Mufti was directly involved in the Final Solution.
“The Mufti was one of the initiators of the methodical destruction of the Jews
of Europe and was a partner and consultant to Eichmann and Hitler on how to
execute the plan. He was one of Eichmann’s best friends and constantly pushed
him to speed up the destruction. With my own ears,” he said, “I heard him say
that he visited the gas chambers of Auschwitz anonymously in the company of
Eichmann”. [Quote from Netanyahu’s speech ends here] Before I process this, an important correction. Dieter Wisliceny’s claim that “the Mufti [Hajj Amin
al Husseini] was directly involved in the Final Solution” is not “hearsay
evidence.” The term ‘hearsay’ applies to purported events not personally
witnessed by the one giving testimony, but Dieter Wisliceny, who testified to
the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, reported hearing Husseini’s words “with my
own ears” (see above). Does that make sense? It does. The German Nazi Adolf Eichmann was chief architect
and administrator of the Final Solution, and our witness—as Netanyahu himself
points out—was “Eichmann’s deputy, Dieter Wisliceny.” He was Eichmann’s right-hand man, in close
personal contact with his boss and any best friend of selfsame boss who may
have acted as co-ruler of the death-camp system. Therefore, Wisliceny’s claim
that Husseini, father of the Arab Palestinian movement, instigated,
co-designed, and co-administered—with Eichmann—the extermination of the
European Jews is eyewitness evidence. Now, what do the above disclosures imply about the
ongoing negotiations in Israel, collectively called Oslo ‘Peace’ Process? Just this: The Israeli ruling elite is negotiating to cede strategic territories
of the State created to protect Jews from genocide to a movement created by
the mastermind of the German Nazi genocide. Isn’t this what they call treason? The mind boggles. Why would Netanyahu—the Israeli
prime minister—disclose facts that leave him open to the accusation of
treason? The Arab-Israeli conflict is at heart a propaganda war. And the strategic
battleground is the mind of the average Western citizen, who, to support the
Oslo Process, must imagine the Arab Palestinians as a suffering, deserving
people—in other words, not followers
of a Holocaust leader. So notice that by sharing Husseini’s background much
earlier, Netanyahu could have a) stopped
the Oslo Process in its tracks long before the 1993 signature; or b) scored
a major propaganda victory against the Oslo Process at any time since that
signature. But instead of that, Netanyahu, who twice campaigned
for prime minister on a platform of opposition
to Oslo, turned around once in office and pushed the Oslo Process as fast as
possible.[1] So again: Why does Netanyahu now disclose these facts about the Mufti Husseini, which open him
to the charge of treason? Is it because he just found out? Netanyahu is right that these “facts about the
Mufti’s activities”—about his leading role in the Final Solution—“are less
well known” than Husseini’s other (also antisemitic) activities. There has
been a tremendous media, academic, and political silence about this, so
ordinary people mostly don’t know about it. But Netanyahu is not an ordinary person. The Israeli government—which Netanyahu presides—pays
great attention to the Arab Palestinian movement, and the facts about
Husseini are publicly available in
libraries. Moreover, Israel
National News (Arutz Sheva)
published the facts about Husseini in 2003.[2]
And in 2007 Moshe Feiglin produced a tiny but audible squeak concerning
Husseini’s masterminding of the German Nazi Final Solution.[3] It
had to be audible to Netanyahu,
because Feiglin is Netanyahu’s main rival within the Likud Party. But all of that is nothing compared to this:
Netanyahu’s own father, Benzion Netanyahu was prominent in the early attempt
to get Husseini tried for war crimes: “. . .[W]hen
it was learned that the pro-Nazi Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin el-Husseini,
was living in France at the end of the war, Benzion [Netanyahu] sponsored
large newspaper advertisements featuring a photograph of Husseini meeting
with Hitler and urging that he be tried for war crimes.”[3a] And in fact Netanyahu did not say at Bar Ilan that he had just learned about Husseini’s
Holocaust role. This is interesting. Because Netanyahu could have
protected himself (somewhat) if he had: a) claimed
to have just learned about
Husseini’s Holocaust role (or finally understood its importance, or something); b) apologized
for his past pro-Oslo behaviors; c) declared
an immediate end to the Oslo Process; and d) announced
the impending eviction of Husseini’s followers from Israeli soil. But he did none of this. But did he, at least, suggest that his views may be
changing? Did he question the wisdom of the ‘Two-State Solution’? Did he so
much as propose a review of the Oslo Process? He did not. On the contrary. In his speech, Netanyahu went out
of his way to make clear that Oslo will
go forward (and full steam ahead). In fact, Netanyahu wanted to “emphasize,” he said,
that the “essential condition” for “concluding the negotiations” is just
this: the ‘Palestinian Authority’ must “recognize the right of the Jewish people
to its own country, the State of Israel.” That’s it: just utter a few words and it’s done. ¡Netanyahu is almost pleading with Husseini’s
followers to help him complete the handover of strategic Israeli territory! This probably explains why he presented his
negotiating partner, the ‘Palestinian Authority,’ as “the more moderate
elements in Judea and Samaria,” and expressed full confidence in them: “it is
true,” he asserted, “that they do not engage in terror.” Wait. What? Here is just one example from September 2013 (last month): “While Fatah
head and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas negotiates with
Israel for the creation of a PA state, Fatah’s
armed branch, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, has declared war. The Brigade issued
a statement Tuesday announcing that it would give the “green light” to terrorist attacks targeting Israelis beginning
on Friday.”[4] When “Fatah’s
armed branch,” the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades—“the deadliest Palestinian militia”[5]—gives
“green light” to terror, it is Mahmoud Abbas who gives the orders, because he
is “Fatah head and Palestinian
Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.” But then what is Netanyahu doing? To understand, you
need certain facts that he left out of his speech. As we document in the accompanying video, the first thing Husseini did
upon meeting Hitler in November of 1941 was secure from the Führer the
following promise: as soon as Germany had conquered the Middle East,
“Germany’s objective would then be solely the destruction of the Jewish
element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection of British power.”[6] Husseini’s first priority was to
exterminate the Jews in British Mandate Palestine. But the Germans did not conquer the Middle East. Husseini would try again. He took refuge in Cairo,
Egypt, and led the Arab Palestinians in the War of 1948, which Husseini
ally—and Secretary General of the Arab League—Azzam Pasha announced as “a war
of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the
Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.”[7] But the Arabs lost; Israel was born. Husseini now
laid the groundwork for a new genocidal
attempt. He was indefatigable. Escaped German Nazi officers began arriving in Cairo
in the 1950s to train Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser’s security forces
and soldiers.[8] These same
Nazis trained Husseini’s protégés: Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and a few
other adolescent recruits who became the founding core of Fatah (or Al Fatah).[9] Some
time later Fatah swallowed a sister
group, the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization).[10]
Later, with the Oslo ‘Peace’ Process, Fatah
accrued yet another name, ‘Palestinian Authority,’ and gained entrance
into the Jewish State. Translation: Husseini has almost won. Netanyahu’s rush to conclude Oslo will give strategic
territory of the Jewish State to Husseini’s direct, German Nazi-trained
spawn. So I ask, once again: Why has Netanyahu—by
disclosing Husseini’s leading Holocaust role—opened himself to the charge of
treason? I propose the following hypothesis: Netanyahu had no choice. The only scenario I can imagine that would leave
Netanyahu with no choice is the following: A significant number of Netanyahu’s followers—probably people at Bar
Ilan University, since they vote Likud, and since he gave the speech there—have
become aware of Husseini’s role in the German Nazi extermination of European
Jewry. If Netanyahu says nothing, he will appear to be covering this up. So
he was forced to say something. But this is good news. Those who would like better news still should
disseminate the information about Husseini as widely as possible. Then perhaps Netanyahu (or whoever) can be forced to
do what this information demands: put a stop to the Oslo Process and evict
PLO/Fatah (and Hamas) from Israel
(including Gaza).

[1970]…the splinterization of the guerilla ranks largely dictated the altered
nature of their offensive against Israel. Nominally, most of them belonged to
an umbrella coordinating federation, the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Yet this prewar, Egyptian-dominated group had been seriously crippled by the
June debacle, and its leader, Ahmed Shukeiry, had been forced into retirement.
Since then, the PLO had experienced less a revival than a total
reincarnation of membership and purpose under the leadership of
Yasser Arafat. Consisting ostensibly of representatives of all guerilla
organizations, the PLO in its resurrected form was almost entirely
Fatah-dominated, and Arafat himself served as president of its
executive. In this capacity he was invited to attend meetings of the Arab
League, and won extensive subsidies from the oil-rich governments of Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, and the sheikhdoms of the Persian Gulf.” SOURCE:
