I hope this ends up being on WSJ's "Best of The Web". If people in this country really knew these things, they would turn tail on the PLO/PLA and their supporters, and finally embrace Israel as the only entity dedicated to peace and democracy.

Arafat's first name is only Yassir as an allusion to Yassir Al Husseini, who was a lesser member of the Al Husseini clan. The Al Husseini's were a prominent anti-Zionist family in Jerusalem; for a young revolutionary in Egypt, it provided a linkage to make him an appropriate representative of the putative Palestinians.

LOL - having Sharon and Ariel post back to back... hehe

Somebody please put a bullet in Yasser's head.

The stench of this man is so vile it is probably responsible for creating the hole in the ozone layer of the planet.

So are Arafat's constant claims that Israel is acting like the Nazis a compliment or a criticism?

Folks,

Will you people puleeeeeeeeeeeeeezze stop taking these pictures out of context??

Meanwhile, our own country continues to help Yasser out. E.g.,

[Link: www.jpost.com...]

Visas for terrorists? No problem. Visas for terrorists' victims? Problem.

Is this the same Grand Mufti who urged all the Arabs to get out of the nascent Israel while the attackers on all sides tried unsuccessfully to destroy Israel in its infancy? Thus creating the "refugee problem" that we are currently being told is All Israel's Fault?

AG is right -- context, people!

The Palestininans can not possibly like the Nazis, becasue the Israelis are Nazis themselves. Just like its impossible for them to be anti-Semites , because they are Semites tehmselves.

Got it, people? In's all about context!

Hilter would have made a great muslim if only he was not a Satan worshipper and needed a Christian masque to exploit his country's remnants of faith.

You people must go to arabnews.com and in the letter section. Scroll down to the letter titled " I plan to leave America soon " If it wasn't so sad, it would be the funniest thing I have ever read

Context:

Photo 1: The Grand Mufti is saying to the Nazi soldier: "Would you please remove the bullets from that gun? Some People of the Book could get hurt."

Photo 2: Hitler applaud's the Grand Mufti's quick grasp of "This is the church, this is the steeple. . ."

Peter Jr.

I just read the letter... needless to say, it was hilarious.

[Link: www.arabnews.com...]

I think it is worth a comment or two from Charles and the rest.

But remember, did you take into acount the context of the letter?

I am sure this anonymous American didn't really mean that Israel controls the world.

I think the letter was a joke.

First: Nothing's changed. The main best seller in the Palestinian territories this last year and a half has been an Arabic translation of "Mein Kampf".

Second: Hitler is increasingly seen as a folk hero among Palestinians and Arabs in general. They can't seem to understand what all the fuss was about over killing six million Jews. To the contemporary Arab mind, Jews are so vile and despised and so obviously deserving of death that for many Arabs the only regret is that Hitler didn't finish the job and that a few Jews were still alive when the war ended.

The Palestinians began to look to Nazi Germany for help in their struggle against the Jews and the British, around 1937, and the German Foreign Office was glad to oblige and help stir them up, mostly to undermine the British position in the Arab world (though it meant bending Nazi ideology a bit, since the Arabs did not belong to the "Master Race").

As for Arafat, it figures that he would choose the Mufti as his role model. There are few bigger losers in all of history than Haj Amin el-Husseini. Like Arafat today , Haj Amin blew two good opportunities for Palestinian Arab independence, in 1937 and in 1947, in order to avoid compromise with the Jews, he espoused violence and started a rebellion (1936-9) which his side lost badly. He sided with the losing side in World War Two and put himself and his cause on the wrong side of history, and he left his people with nothing to show for their trouble beyond misery, defeat, humiliation, impoverishment and exile. He died in exile, but as far as I know he never admitted that he was wrong about anything or that the 1947-8 Palestinian Arab "Naqba" (Catastrophe) was in any way his fault. He fantasized that the State of Israel would disappear within a couple of years and that he would return triumphant.

Count on Arafat to pick someone like that as his hero.

Suffice it to say that a variety of Islamic people would have be quite happy if Rommel had won at el Alamein. The Grand Mufti was just one of several. This is one reason why the British were able to recruit Jews into the British Army during the war from the Zionist settlements.

I think the letter was a joke.

More likely, it was written either by an Arab/muslim posing as an American,
or one seriuosly deranged puppy (God knows, there is no shortage of them here).

Caption for the second picture

Hitler explains the Final Solution to the very aryan leader of the completely aryan, blue-eyed and blond-haired Arab inhabitants of Palestine.
The Mufti is reported to have said : "Gas them ? That's not painful enough".

As a follow up comment, I am going to assume that the letter is real.

"Israel owns our press.

Israel will use our economy, our skills, our illusion of freedom, and most importantly our military to do for it the dirty deeds it lacks the courage or capacity to do on its own."

Fine, no problem. This is Israel's plan. But one must ask the simple question of HOW?

How, on God's green earth, are 15,000,000 conspiring Jews going to bring 6,100,000,000 people to their collective knees, much less 1,200,000,000 Arabs and muslims????

How will TWO TENTHS OF ONE PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION deliver the rest of the world to this dream?

Anyone's answer would be appreciated.

Because we're the "Chosen" people, of course.

I'd tell you, but why let the cat out of the bag?

AG,

I've pointed this out to everyone I know. A handful of Jews can't possibly control the world.

The response has been that Jews have a disproportionate share of power relative to their numbers, in the US (from Europeans, btw). There are two possible explanations, as I see it:

1) Europeans are used to Jews just bending over, dying without a fight.
2) Jews have worked hard in the US. Like many other immigrant populations, the second and third generation is quite successful. Unlike in Europe, people will not shun me in the US just because I'm Jewish.

Oh, and no one can explain how a disproportionate share of power leads to 15m ppl controlling 6b ppl.

Jews are clever.

Einstein and all that don't you know.

Peter and Q:

The letter in the Arab News is definitely written by a Muslim. Here's the giveaway line:

"I believe that spring will only run for as long as it is in possession of the true people of God"

No self-respecting member of another religion would refer to Muslims as the "true people of God".

Whether he/she is actually American; who cares?

AG:

(Rhetorical) questions like the one you pose are frequently answered by rabid Jew-haters on web sites and in essays. You wouldn't believe the concoction of absurd, disgusting lies they have brewed to construct their genocidal-inspired conspiracy theories.

To those sick puppies who desperately want to believe that all of their personal problems are due to the Jews, all of this sounds plausible, even enlightening. Chalk it up to the power of the human imagination and some very dysfunctional families.

Dang...I ought to declare myself a temporary Muslim.

That way, I can blame the international Jewish conspiracy for my herniated disk.

Caption for picture 2:

"Unfortuantely, Mr. Hussein, after the soap we've made so far runs out, we will have to look for other sources among your people. No offense intended, its just (racial) business."

"Unfortuantely, Mr. Hussein, after the soap we've made so far runs out, we will have to look for other sources among your people. No offense intended, its just (racial) business."

Hence, the aversion to bar soap and the preferance for . . . baby wipes!

OK...let's get this straight.....how many virgins am I going to get again?

Re #24 M.Simon
"Jews are clever"
I've been having conversations with a moderate muslim recently. That is the near exact line that comes up. The exact line I've been told (in explanation to nearly every question I ask) "Jews are very smart...." "You have to remember, the jews are very smart."

BC #30:

What he means is, "The Arabs are very stupid. You have to remember, they are always doing something very stupid."

"stupid" can be substituted with the following:

inept
backwards
murderous
anti - Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Pagan...
"islamic"

He did a lot more than drinking tea with Hitler. Here's a picture of Arafat's hero saluting SS troops in the Balkans:

[Link: www.flamemag.dircon.co.uk...]

The Grand Mufti was a major recruiter for the Muslim Waffen SS.

I've heard it said the Grand Mufti fled Berlin dressed as a woman at the end of the war. Anybody heard this before?

Yasser Arafat the reality

I've found that antisemites/anti-Zionists love using the "Jews as god's chosen people" line to suggest that the Zionists think Jews are a "master race" which gives them the right to commit genocide of Palestinians.

I've seen this lie regurgitated on so many campus flyers and websites, that it makes me wonder if these "peace" activists and holier-than thou college protestors have one original thought in their tiny little brains.

"I've heard it said the Grand Mufti fled Berlin dressed as a woman at the end of the war. Anybody heard this before?"

Actually, As a woman. Hitler had his balls cut off and mummified as a (small) pair of earings for eva.

Seriously, these pics should be dispersed in the wider media, but I'm not holding my breath.

I understand the arguments and the thoughts of the rhetorical question.

All I want to know from the Islamic peanut gallery and/or anyone else is this:

How in the fuck can ONE Jew control 406.66 (four hundred and six point six six) non-Jews without any "real" evidence of such an action?

And so the onetime head of the Islam Ueber Alles branch of XXX Ueber Alles meets the copyright holder.

Thus does the hydra called totalitarianism show but two of its many heads.

Saud delenda est

Re: #37 AG in Houston

So soon you forget!

"You have to remember, the jews are very smart."

The Mufti also organized, in the 1920s, the Fedayeen under Emile Ghori to murder and terrorize moderate Arabs who wanted to live in peace with the Zionists. This Arab terrorist group of the Muftis was organized long before the Irgun.

The Mufti also spent the 20s and 30s organizing anti-Jewish riots. He was kicked out of Palestine by the British in the late 1930s. He then went to Iraq where he supported the pro-Nazi coup of Rashid Ali.

Don't forget that Arafat's mother was related to the al-Husseini family. Yep they are blood relatives.

I have to say, the Palestinian Media Watch article pulls the punch considerably when they describe Al-Husseini as a "Nazi ally". He was not a Nazi ally, he was an Islamic Nazi, through and through. Furthermore, he was the chief leader of Islamic Nazis. This man was in charge of all Axis propaganda aimed at Muslims during WWII. They hanged people at Nuremburg for doing a fraction of what this guy did.

Al-Husseini ranks as the number one agitator against Israel in the days leading up to the 1948 war, and there is tough competition for that distinction. Followers of Al-Husseini (including his cousin) murdered King Abdullah of Jordan in 1951, because the king favored peace with Israel. They gunned him down in the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

suggest that the Zionists think Jews are a "master race"

It has truly been said that people tend to project their own characteristics, both good and evil, onto an enemy. The Arabs have more than a touch of master-race psychosis themselves, and a bad tendency to buttress this with quotations about how the Arabs are "the best nation God created".

Husseini organized the Muslim Bosnian SS troops, which enthusiastically participated in the slaughter of Jews in the Balkans. As far as I know, not one of them was ever prosecuted as a war criminal. And, yes, Arafat is related to him and learned much of what his pea brain holds from his uncle.

It is an interesting question how a tiny group of people like the Jews is able to control billions of non-Jews. Jews have always been the object of envy and the scapegoat for the failures of others.

An autobiographical story: when I was a senior in high school (and the only Jew in my class) deciding which colleges to apply to, I was considering Princeton. Another girl in my class wanted to go there very badly, but my grades and overall record were better than hers. The headmaster, himself a WASP Princeton alum, took me aside and discouraged me from applying, saying that he didn't think that it was "my kind of place." Being the belligerent type I am, I applied anyway and was accepted. The other girl wasn't.

The point of the story is that Jews are constantly subjected to pressure applied either directly or through "code words" which, if Jews listened to them, would keep us down. Fortunately, we usually don't listen.

Ironically, the great majority of Al-Husseini's victims were moderate Arabs. Arafat's murder of Pali "collaborators" carries on the Husseini tradition. Another irony: Al-Husseini was appointed as "Grand Mufti of Jerusalem" (a bullshit title made up by the Brits) in 1921 by British High Commissioner Herbert Samuel, a well-meaning but clueless Jew (think Peres). Samuel accepted assurances from Husseini that "the influence of his family and himself would be devoted to tranquillity." Three weeks later, 43 Jews were killed in riots.

This is what happens when you let a brainless bigot shit take command:

Samuel accepted assurances from Husseini that "the influence of his family and himself would be devoted to tranquillity." Three weeks later, 43 Jews were killed in riots.

To get a complete picture of what's been boiling in the Middle East for more than seven decades, read "From Time Immemorial" by Joan Peters (paperback).

She's not Jewish; she began her research as a lefty sympathetic to the MAs, and was at first financed by them to do her book. When she started her research, she was honest enough to see it didn't fit the story that has been spun about the long-suffering "palestinians".

So---she wrote this long, well-documented and startlingly-clear expose of the FRAUD that's been accepted even today by almost the entire Establishment, especially the Euroweenies, lefties, 'intellectuals' and especially the Jew-hating (=Torah-hating) Jews in Israel.

As I like to ask, if you don't want to live as a *Jew* in Israel, why do you live there? (Yes, I and my wife do plan on aliyah.)

Yehoshua,

I'm curious about this. Does the "Torah-hating" bit mean not practicing Judaism, being a secular Jew?

The complete lack of evidence is PROOF of the conspiracy.

"Hilter would have made a great muslim if only he was not a Satan worshipper and needed a Christian masque to exploit his country's remnants of faith. "

Hitler was a Christian, not an atheist or a Satan worshipper. To deny his Christianity out of embarrassment or convenience is to refuse to acknowledge Christian complicity in the deeds of Nazi Germany, and the refusal of the Catholic Church to condemn the fascists in Italy.

People who say "oh, but a REAL Christian would never do that" are just as wrong as the people who say "Stalin and Pol Pot were not REAL communists", or "the extremist regimes of the Middle East are not representatives of REAL Muslim".

Deal with the reality, not the ideal.

Given the same set of circumstances (such a mediaeval level of cultural development) Christians behaved much as Muslims do now.

B.C.,

The "Jews are clever" bit is an admission of defeat.

It is very funny that the Jew haters always have brain envy. It's kind of like. "I'm not very smart. That is why I hate Jews."

America used to have similar attitudes before the camps fell in WW2.

Then we got all those computer nerds in the 70s and 80s making America a very rich country and now brains are a lot more in vogue than they were in the 50s when I was growing up. The rest of the world hasn't caught on yet.

When countries expell Jews it is an admission that they have no use for intelligence the #1 economic driver for the last 500 years.

Andy Grove who headed Intel for many years was a refugee from the European death camps. There have been many others.

A. van Hilten -#47 - Sorry for sounding quite intolerant, so let me expatiate. (Whoo, dirty word!)

Most specifically, I meant people lke Yossi Sarid, Shimon Peres, Tommy Lapid, Aron Barak: old enough to know better, living in Israel and benefitting from G-d's specific (if concealed) watching over the Land.

Further: those Jews who curse out their fellow Jews for being "ultra-orthodox" when - evidently - they themselves haven't begun to learn what Torah living is about. Perhaps I was harsh - many Jews, especially in the galus, are totally unaware of what Judaism is. Also, they have been lured by the *yetzer hara* of American material values - very strong, as I can attest from my early years.

As to "secular Jews": in practice, it's an oxymoron of a sort: BEING a Jew really is defined as living according to Jewish law. It does not mean lox and cream cheese Sunday morning while reading the NY Times. (I am basically paraphrasing Rav Avigdor Miller, z"tl, who pulled no punches on this issue.) There's more to say about ASSIMILATION (which is what it boils down to), but better for a Jew to hear and read Rabbi Miller and re-connect to his/her true life inheritance.

And further: I do hold guilty all those who controlled the political establishment in Israel since 1948 and thereby controlled the educational apparatus, which is now so deteriorated that even secular parents want to send their children to "religious" schools - like the Russians who flock to SHUVU schools in Israel- because they are fed up with having their kids come home from school telling of being assaulted, robbed and cursed at in the "mamlachti" schools run by the Government.

Hope that answers your query.

Oh, come off it. I think your blunderbuss went off prematurely while you were trying to load it.

As for Hitler being a Christian, you don't have to slog through "Mein Kampf" to know better than that. There are any number of sane books that would enlighten you (for origins of Nazi thought and politics, I recommend "Order of the Death's Head" by Hohne). But claiming that Hitler was to Christianity what Stalin was to Communism? Ayn Rand wouldn't make such a claim, even after smoking a whole kilo of pot.

As for the Muslims, I am not ready to admit that murdering freaks like Al-Husseini represent them all. I think that there are some sane Muslims out there, though too many of them are currently wallowing in fear and self-pity to speak up against the like of Al Qaeda.

I posted these pictures at an Arab web forum and I got this reply; -

These pictures of the Mufti are a hoax and they have been proven to be hoaxes.

I'm just laughing because Hitler seemed to have a very
inconsistent set of furniture.

You moron, for your info, the Arabs during World War II
were on the side of the Allies.

Hitler bought his furniture from the Salvation Army Store, it seems, LOL.

The thing is, Zionists are so desperate that they resort to lies to propagate their sick mentality. They falsify facts, twist the truth.

I've always believed that truth is the most vulnerable vicitm of Zionism yet the hardest to defeat.
God is always on the side of truth".

Apparently those pictures are FAKE and a big bad Zionist HOAX. That's the Islamist view anyway. It's to be expected.

How is anyone "taking these pictures out of context"? That's alot like saying your taking Monica Lewinsky's oral skills out of context. If it blew in 1932--it blows in 2002.

Merkava:

That is how the Arabs never lose an argument.

They are not constrained by the facts, while Europe and the American left are there to lap it up.
