The Grand Mufti’s Nazi connection

It’s no coincidence that just a few months after Nazi Germany surrendered, on November 2, 1945, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, many synagogues were burned down in Egypt and dozens of Jews were killed on the streets of Cairo.

On November 5, 1941, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, arrived in Berlin. He was fleeing Iraq following the failure of the coup he was involved in there, and three weeks later he met with Adolf Hitler. The meeting took place despite Nazi Germany’s entanglement in Operation Barbarossa and the war against Russia.

The Nazis appointed the mufti “Das Arabische Buro Der Grossmufti” of Berlin and gave him a monthly allowance of tens of thousands of dollars a month. He was instructed to hire dozens of assistants, each of whom also received a salary directly from the Third Reich. Among the individuals with whom he worked closely during his time in Berlin was Hassan Salameh – the father of the Palestinian terrorist Ali Salameh (aka “the Red Prince”), one of the perpetrators of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre of Israeli athletes.

In his new position, the mufti was placed in charge of the Nazi’s Arabic-language radio station, that broadcast anti-Semitic propaganda in Arabic from 1939 until the Nazi party collapsed in 1945. This radio station was highly popular and could be heard throughout the Middle East. The mufti was also responsible for disseminating written Nazi propaganda in Arabic designed to encourage protests against British and French occupation.

The mufti lived in Germany until May 1945, when the Second World War came to an end. Throughout this entire period, the mufti was involved in espionage, sabotage, terrorist activity against the British and the Jews, as well as anti-Semitic propaganda.

And there's no secret that the old chap was a screaming, raving antisemitic fuckwit.

One wonders then, why he was appointed to the position of Mufti - after coming in fourth between four candidates - in 1921 (a year after al-Husseini had led anti-Jewish riots) by... who's this? Herbert Samuel, British High Commissioner Palestine... a Jew and ardent Zionist?

Curious, I think.

So how many Palestinians alive today were involved with this guy do you think Dave?

Facebook page of the Free Gaza movement and David Duke 's Stormfront .

Neither of them Palestinian but enthusiastic supporters of this kind of thinking , Greta Berlin was felled by Jewish Nazi hateful conspiracy theories.

And found absolutely no connection whatsoever between Greta Berlin and Amin al-Husseini (or between either of them and David Duke, for that matter.)

Perhaps I'm missing something. Could you show me?

For that matter , I'm curious about all these Palestinians you say are affiliated with the guy's actions - we're looking at a period between 1918 and 1945, after all

and the claim that Amin al-Husseini has "fans" among both left and right Palestinian supporters. sources?

As I said, I found nothing to support your claims.

Just on the off chance, I just ran "greta berlin" through a search on stormfront - one of the perks of spy accounts, I think - and I got plenty of return for "Berlin," a few for "Greta," but nothing for "Greta Berlin." i did find a few historical references to al-Husseini, mostly in an attempt to paint Hitler as "not racist" - while cheering him for being racist (stormfrint is a weird place, man)

I think you're making shit up and spewing random names as they come to you, Dave.

The use of al-Husseini's presence in Germany during nazi rule is used here and there as "proof" that Hitler "wasn't as racist as the MSM tells you."

In the words of a poster by the name of "Nordic Spaniard," in the thread titled "black nazis ? "in fact... (I won't link either, but no reason to not excerpt content for a point, I figure)

There was indeed non white nazi's. Indians and black people were not a threat to the German's so they were allowed to stay in the country during that period.

Don't go believing everything the establishment wants to tell you about Nazi's. Hitler wasn't an evil racist. He only targeted groups that were actively seeking to destroy the German people's. The mere fact that these people were allowed to be Nazi's should be enough proof of that.

It's apologetics for Hitler, not fanboyism for al-Husseini.

Still no connection between al-Husseini and greta Berlin. or al-Husseini and David Duke. Or greta Berlin and stormfront.

Also no evident backing for your claims about all those Palestinians affiliated with al-Husseini, nor his apparent adoration from the right and left.

Back your stuff up, man

I remember your insinuations that Arafat was a pervert for allegedly having contracted HIV from one of his bodyguards, as though that should be held against him even if it were true.

I can't recall you ever having mentioned gay issues at all except in the context of either trying to brand your opponents as homophobes (rather desperately in this instance) or trying to trash the Palestinians.

and still allowing homophobic laws and acts to occur under his rule.
Pervert for being Gay ? That's insulting ...
As for mentioning Gay issues ... Go up into our LGBT forum here on DU and read all my posts there.

NEXT ?

In the meantime, how about you tell me about these broad connections between Amin al-Husseini, Greta Berlin, David Duke, and Stormfront, together with an apparently broad swath of Palestinians and a bunch of Righty-Lefties, to boot.

No points for connecting Duke to Stormfront; we already know

I'm asking you, Dave, to substantiate your own claims that all these people are connected to Amin al-Husseini.

All I'm getting in response is "google google google!" - it's like talking to a turkey.

You've got nothing to back your claims up, have you?

Ah well.

Also I see that either jurors thought you were full of it, or that you weren't so bothered as to deserve an alert.
