Commentary — In his effort to demonize the Palestinians, Israeli PM Netanyahu has contended that it was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who suggested to Hitler to “burn the Jews.” In his comments to the World Jewish Congress he said that,
“Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews,” Netanyahu said in the speech. “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?'” Netanyahu said Hitler asked the mufti, who responded: “Burn them.”
This of course contradicts the Jewish contention that Hitler and the Nazis planned the extermination of the Jews from the moment they took power. Does this make Netanyahu a Hitler apologist? Should he be prosecuted in Europe under Holocaust denial laws?
This comes on the heels of a recent controversy over an American Jewish professor’s contention that the Poles killed more Jews than the Germans. That is the truly amazing thing about Holocaust guilt. No matter how widely it is spread it always goes on thick and there is plenty left to paint the next enemy!
Netanyahu blames mufti of Jerusalem for Final Solution, prompting outcry
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being criticized for saying the mufti of Jerusalem gave Hitler the idea to exterminate the Jews at a 1941 meeting.
Netanyahu’s remarks about the mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, came in a speech to the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem on Tuesday night.
“Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time; he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, ‘If you expel them, they’ll all come here,’” Netanyahu said.
When Hitler asked Husseini what to do with the Jews, Netanyahu said the mufti told the Nazi leader: “Burn them.”
Netanyahu said the mufti was sought for war crimes in the Nuremberg trials “because he had a central role in fomenting the Final Solution.”
Israeli lawmakers were among the many critics who slammed Netanyahu for the remarks, saying he was distorting history and somehow blaming the Arabs rather than Hitler for the Final Solution.
“A historian’s son must be accurate about history,” Isaac Herzog, the Israeli opposition leader, wrote in a statement posted on his Facebook page. “This is a dangerous distortion of history, and I demand that Netanyahu correct this immediately since he is trivializing the Holocaust.”
Hitler’s plans for the Final Solution were in place before his 1941 meeting with the mufti, Holocaust historians say.
Arab Joint List leader Ayman Odeh said Netanyahu “is rewriting history in order to incite against the Palestinian people,” Haaretz reported.
PLO Secretary General Saeb Erekat said in a statement, “Netanyahu hates Palestinians so much that he is willing to absolve Hitler of the murder of 6 million Jews.”
The German Chancellor who is completely under the absolute control of Zio-America and who supports the massive immigration genocide of the German people — on Wednesday responded to Netanyahu’s remarks, saying that “responsibility for this crime against humanity is German and very much our own.”
Netanyahu traveled to Germany on Wednesday and is slated to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Don’t expect Netanyahu to face a Holocaust Denial arrest, as hundreds of Germans have been arrested and imprisoned for refuting the idea that Hitler wanted to “exterminate the Jews.”
