Enlightening.

I don't even want to know what those two did when they met.

I don't even want to know what those two did when they met.

It seems the accursed Mufti was either "the" or "a" designer of the "final solution".  He should be as hated as Hitler, and on the same well known scale. - Of course, since he was a "noble barbarian" he's a role model for Leftists.

Reading the article, it appeared more that he was trying to negotiate with the 3rd reich on opening a path through the caucasus claiming the Jews were aligned with the Soviets and therefore trying to get Germany to help the Arabs against not only the Soviets from the Caucasus but as well as the British in Iraq, the French in Syria and the Jews in the British Mandate Of Palestine.

Fact Sheet

 

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s biography of Amin al-Husayni falsifies the historical record. The Museum never states that any of the Mufti’s actions led to the death of Jews and in  fact, denies that there is any proof that they did.

 

From the Museum’s Biography and Related Links:

 

1.August 1929 “Arab crowds enter the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem and initiate a wave of violence….  That al-Husayni explicitly encouraged or incited the violence is not documented…”

 Husayni was the one who incited the crowds of worshipers to violence. In 1929, the most influential newspaper in Egypt, La Bourse Egyptienn, declared ; “ the murder of the Palestine Jews is an echo of the Mufti’s inflammatory exhortations in the mosque.” (Van Paassen, Days of Our Years, p.367)  The Mufti  accused the Jews of endangering mosques, including Al-Aqsa. He issued the call: “Kill the Jews!” and “ We will drink the blood of  the Jews” (Dershowitz, The Case for Israel, p.41) and disseminated pictures of the Jewish victims, falsely claiming that they were Arabs murdered by the Jews. Faked photographs were circulated “showing the Jewish flag, with the Star of David at its centre, flying from the top of the Dome of the Rock- something which had never happened.” (Gilbert, Jerusalem in the Twentieth Century p. 120)    The Supreme Muslim Council, which Husayni headed, issued a  proclamation : “O Arab! Remember that the Jew is your strongest enemy and the enemy of your ancestor since olden times…for it is he …who poisoned Mohammed… It is he who now endeavors to slaughter you as he did yesterday.” (ibid. p126) “The Hebron massacre was the culmination of a series of religiously inspired massacres deliberately incited by the grand mufti…In August 1929 leaflets prepared by the mufti instructed Muslims to attack the Jews. One such leaflet said that the Jews had “violated the honor of Islam” and “raped the women and murdered widows and babies” It was a blood libel demanding a holy war against the Jews.” .” (Dershowitz, op. cit. p. 42-43)

“In the White Paper…the Secretary of State declared that “no one has been more active than the Mufti of Jerusalem” (Gilbert. p.125)

   

2.September 1937 “The British never unequivocally linked al-Husayni with the insurgency in 1936-37” …“until the end of 1938, the Germans… refused… to provide material assistance to the insurgents.”   

The Mufti organized the 1936-1939 riots, using funds and munitions supplied by the Nazis. (Files of the German High Command in Flensburg, Germany stated: “Only through funds made available by Germany to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was it possible to carry out the revolt in Palestine”.  Quoted in Peters, From Time Immemorial). Eichmann personally came to Palestine to deliver funds to the Mufti for the riots in 1937 and by 1938 the Mufti was on the payroll of Abwehr II, the German counterintelligence and sabotage division. (Kuntzel, Jihad and Jew Hatred, p.21, 31) “The British were monitoring the activities of the Mufti …On 16 July 1937 he made contact with Herr Dohle, the German Consul-General in Jerusalem, a convinced Nazi….On the following day British police entered the Supreme Muslim Council office outside the Old City to arrest the man whose incitement to violence was clear from all the documents at their disposal. But the Mufti managed to evade arrest, and to seek sanctuary on the Haram. Police guarding the gates of the city were given orders to arrest him should he try to leave.”(Gilbert, Jerusalem in the Twentieth Century, p.149) The Peel Commission publicly condemned the Mufti : “ The Mufti must in our view, bear his full share of responsibility for those disorders.” (Gilbert, p. 147) “The British Government made it clear that the Mufti was an enemy with whom there could be no compromise. On 17 May 1938 it was announced from London by the Colonial Secretary, Malcolm MacDonald, that the Mufti would be excluded from Palestine “indefinitely”. This was because he was not only “the head of the organisation  held responsible for the campaign of terrorism and the assassination of British and Jews,” MacDonald explained, “but also the head of a faction which for many months past had pursued a similar campaign against large numbers of Arabs.” (Gilbert p. 152)

 

3. November 28,1941 “Adolph Hitler receives al-Husayni in Berlin…but declines to issue any public declaration or conclude an agreement with al-Husayn

There is no mention that Husayni asked for and obtained Hitler’s pledge to extend the Final Solution to the Jews of the Middle East. “ The Furhrer then made the following statement to the Mufti, … 1. He (the Fuhrer) would carry on the battle to the total destruction of the Judeo-Communist empire in Europe 2. At some moment which was impossible to set exactly today but which in any event was not distant, the German armies would in the course of this struggle reach the southern exit of Caucasia 3. As soon as this had happened, the Fuhrer would on his own give the Arab world the assurance that the hour of liberation had arrived. Germany’s objective would then be solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection of the British power….The moment that Germany’s tank divisions and air squadrons had made their appearance south of the Caucasus, the public appeal requested by the Grand Mufti could go out to the Arab world…The Grand Mufti replied…whether it would not be possible, secretly, at least, to enter into an agreement with Germany of the kind he had just outlined for the Fuhrer. The Fuhrer replied that he had just now given the Grand Mufti precisely that confidential declaration.”

(Reference notes of the meeting are in Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945, Series D, Vol. XIII, p. 881 available at the USHMM library.)

 

In his memoirs, Husayni wrote :”Our fundamental condition for cooperating with Germany was a free hand to eradicate every last Jew from Palestine and the Arab world.” I asked Hitler for an explicit undertaking to allow us to solve the Jewish problem in a manner befitting our national and racial aspirations and according to the scientific methods innovated by Germany in the handling of the Jews. The answer I got was, “ The Jews are yours.” .” (Dershowitz, The Case for Israel p.55)

 

4..“In at least one speech attributed to him, he advocated killing Jews wherever Arabs found them.”

Which one speech is the Museum saying was attributed to him. The one he gave at the Islamic Central Institute on Nov. 2, 1943 calling on Muslims to follow the example of National Socialist Germany, since the latter “ knew how to save itself from the evil (Unheil) done by the Jews…It had precisely identified the Jews and decided to find a definitive solution to the Jewish menace. In order to eliminate their evildoing (Unheil) from the world. ( quoted by Gensicke, op cit.) Or is it the speech in which the Mufti said;” Arise, O sons of Arabia. Fight for your sacred rights. Slaughter Jews wherever you find them. Their spilled blood pleases Allah, our history and religion.” (Dershowitz, op. cit. p.55) According to the Mufti’s biographer, the Mufti’s  “hatred of Jews…was fathomless, and he gave full vent to it during his period of activity alongside the Nazis (October 1941-May 1945). His speeches on Berlin radio were anti-Semitic to the core: “Kill the Jews wherever you find them- this pleases God, history and religion.” (Elpeleg, The Grand Mufti, p. 100)

 

      5 .May-June 1943 Al Husayni wrote  to the Bulgarian, German, Italian, Hungarian       and Romanian governments, demanding they not participate in efforts to transfer Jewish children from Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria to Palestine. He suggested the children be sent to Poland. “…the impact of the letters was nil. None of the three governments that received the letters transported the children to Poland.”

 This is dishonest. The transports to Palestine were stopped. The  children were sent to death camps and died in Europe. (The Arab Higher Committee. Its Origins, Personnel and Purposes, Documentary Record Submitted to the United Nations, May 1947); At the Eichmann trial, Eichmann’s deputy Wisliceny’s notes were put in evidence. The  transcript, Sessions 016-03 reads:  “It was planned to exchange these children for German civilian prisoners, through the services of the International Red Cross. I had already discussed with representatives of the Joint in Bratislava the possibility of adults as escorts for this purpose…Then I was summoned to Berlin by Eichmann and he disclosed to me that the idea of the planned operation had become known to the Grand Mufti…As a result he protested vigorously to Himmler, using the argument that these Jewish children would, within  a few years become adults and would strengthen the Jewish elements in Palestine. Following this, Himmler (as he told me) forbade the whole operation and even issued a prohibition in respect of cases in the future, that no Jew should be permitted to emigrate to Palestine from territories under German control.

I informed the Joint group of this prohibition which had been secured by the Grand Mufti from Himmler … .This attitude of Himmler had a crucial influence on all these matters, especially in 1944 in Budapest. In this way any chance of reaching a compromise on the question of the Jews of Hungary came to nought, since Palestine was the only country which could be considered for the absorption of a greater number of Jewish women and children.”)

Medoff, in The Mufti’s Nazi Years Re-Examined,  cites Eichmann himself, in his testimony at his trial in 1961, as also confirming that the Nazis had “an agreement with the Grand Mufti” to prevent immigration to Palestine. (Eichmann trial Proceedings, session no. 58, 1053.)

 

That the children were sent to the gas chambers as a result for the Mufti’s intervention is is also cited in Gensicke, Der Mufti von Jerusalem und die Nationalsozialisten, p.156 and in Hopp (ed.) Mufti-Papiere. Briefe, Memoranden,Reden und Aufrufe Amin al-Husainis aus dem Exil 1940-1945,(2001) pp. 145ff and in Simon Wiesenthal, Grofsmufti-Grofsagent der Achse,(1947) pp42ff.

 

After reviewing the official German correspondence about the negotiations, the Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg concluded that there was a definite connection, proof positive, between the Mufti’s protests and the end of the negotiations. (Hilberg, The Destruction of European Jews, p.504-505 )

 

6. “The 13th Waffen-SS Mountain Division did not participate in the deportation of Jews, either in Bosnia or Hungary. During its deployment in Bosnia from February  until October 1944, the possibility that “Handschar’ personnel participated in the capture and murder of individual Jews found in hiding or captured as partisans cannot be excluded. Such involvement cannot be documented, however.”

 The Mufti recruited 20,000 Muslims for the Handschar. The Handschar were responsible for the murder of 90% of Bosnia’s Jews ( 12,600 of Bosnia’s 14,000 Jews) and also served as the auxiliary police in rounding up Hungarian Jewry. (Timmerman, Preachers of Hate, p. 76-78; Jennie Lebel, The Mufti of Jerusalem: Haj Amin el Husseini and National Socialism,; George Lepre, Himmler’s Bosnian Division, the Waffen-SSHandschar Division 1943-1945)
