The term “Black September” was made famous by a terrorist group of the same name, which became a member of the Palestinian organization Fatah. The group assassinated Wasfi al-Tal, the Prime Minister of Jordan, in Cairo at the end of 1970, and also killed 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team in September, 1972, during an unsuccessful attempt to free the squad. They were not the only victims of “Black September,” but perhaps the most famous ones.

By this time, the conflict had attracted the attention of superpowers. The US 6th Fleet appeared on the banks of the Jordan River, and two British aircraft carriers docked at Malta. 20 Soviet ships and 6 submarines arrived in Syria to counter them. Both sides demonstrated a willingness to make an incursion – it smelled of a major war and the situation needed to be dealt with urgently. On 27 September in Cairo, with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser as a mediator, an agreement was signed in which Jordan agreed to cease military action and the Palestinians promised to recognize the authority of King Hussein.

The Jordanians were outraged about being coerced into the agreement which didn’t allow the army to achieve complete victory in the war. Their hands, however, were soon once again separated by the death of Abdel Nasser and by the refusal of the Palestinian National Liberation Front and the Palestinian Democratic Liberation Front to follow the agreement that Arafat signed. The operation against the Palestinians was continued in January, 1971, and by summer the radicals were pushed out of towns and the camps into the mountains, driven into Lebanon or killed outright. Hussein was finally able to announce at a press conference at the end of July that everything was “completely calm” in his kingdom. Almost 100 Jordanian soldiers and 3,500-5,000 Palestinians, including women and children, died during the military operation.

Funny that the people decrying the police will be the ones to need them the most when the excrement hits the rotary device...

Two failed wars with Israel in 1948 and 1967 brought Palestinians to the brink of losing their ancestral homelands. Few of them agreed to live under occupation, and the neighboring countries were overwhelmed with waves of refugees. The amount of Palestinians in Jordan reached 1 million – around 60% of the country’s total population – towards the end of the 1960s.

After the Six-Day War in 1967, members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (under the command of Yasser Arafat), the Palestinian National Liberation Front, the Palestinian Democratic Liberation Front and several other armed groups, along with peaceful citizens, crossed the new border with Israel along the Jordan River into Jordan itself. They created a “government within a government” inside the refugee camps and were often in conflict with the local law enforcement.

Businessmen set up rackets under the guise of raising funds in the fight against Israel, kidnapped people and stole cars, set up their own checkpoints on international highways, denied law enforcement agencies entry into refugee camps, and killed soldiers and police officers. There were about 500 violent clashes between the Palestinians and representatives of the Jordanian government just between mid-1968 until the end of 1969.

In September 1970, with “attracting attention to the Palestine problem” as their stated goal, fighters hijacked four American and European planes and landed them on an abandoned airstrip in the Jordanian desert. Crew members, Israelis and members of US government organizations were held hostage and the rest of the passengers were released.

The only failure in this series of hijackings was by the 26-year-old beauty Leila Khaled. She became a star of the Palestinian National Liberation Front in 1968 after the hijacking of an American Boeing-707 in Syria. She had plastic surgery six times on her nose and chin to change her appearance, and on 6 September, she boarded an Israeli El-Al flight flying from London to Tel Aviv along with Nicaraguan fighter Patrick Arguello with the intention of hijacking it.

The group had already messed up the operation during boarding: the airline security service denied entry to two terrorists with suspicious Senegal passports. Khaled and Arguello were now forced to act alone and, just half an hour after take-off, they pulled out guns and grenades, demanding access to the pilot’s cabin. The Israelis seemed to be ready for this confrontation. One of the passengers hit Arguello over the head with a bottle of whiskey and Captain Uri Bar-Lev, a former combat pilot, sent the Boeing into a deep dive, throwing the hijacker onto the floor. Khaled was severely beaten in the ensuing fight and her accomplice killed one of the armed guards that El-Al secretly placed in the cabin of its aircraft.

Hijacking the planes, in addition to several assassination attempts on King Hussein of Jordan, were enough grounds on which to initiate military operations. The plan was worked out by an invited consultant, Brig. Gen. Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, who would go on to seize power in Pakistan eight years later. Jordanian tanks began shooting at the Palestinian headquarters in Amman on 16 September 1970, and the infantry stormed the six refugee camps.

Two days after the start of the operation, Syrian soldiers sent by Defense Minister Hafez al-Assad crossed the Jordanian border to help the Palestinians. A segment of their 200 tanks, according to the rules of “hybrid war”, had the emblem of the Syrian army painted over, and now the Palestine Liberation Organization had their own armored vehicles.

The Syrian army was able to penetrate deep into the country’s territory, but fearing US and British intervention, Assad didn’t send the air force. The Syrian contingent found itself unprotected against the Jordanian Air Force and, four days after starting the operation, they were forced to retreat.

OTTAWA BRIEFED ON PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY’S GLORIFICATION OF TERRORISM

It was only recently that Abbas Zaki, a member of the Central Committee of Fatah and a senior Palestinian leader, addressed first-year students at Al Quds Open University in Nablus.

In his address, which was monitored by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), Zaki told the first-year students that real men court death if it means advancing the Palestinian cause, that they are cursed if they do not sacrifice for Jerusalem and that those who die a normal death are cowards.

“Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Cursed is anyone who doesn’t sacrifice for Jerusalem,” he told the students.

A little while before that, WAFA, the official Palestinian Authority (PA) news agency, ran a piece on matriculation day for Grade 12 students, noting that 16 of their contemporaries in the same grade had been killed during attacks on Israelis that year. The news agency said that their path to martyrdom made their families proud and that those who died in that way showed the path to excellence and greatness.

That news report was also monitored by PMW, which follows Palestinian television and radio broadcasts. PMW’s 20 Arab-speaking employees also scan social media, analyze school textbooks and read Palestinian newspapers.

These media outlets offer “a window into Palestinians society,” and lately they show a society that’s hell-bent on preparing their children to attack and kill Jews, to expect death and to glory in martyrdom in the name of Allah, said Itamar Marcus, founder and director of PMW.

This is nothing less than the abuse of these children’s human rights on a massive scale, Marcus said.

Marcus was in Ottawa on Nov. 20 to address the Canada-Israel Interparliamentary Group and to brief officials from Global Affairs Canada about the organization’s findings. His briefings coincided with Universal Children’s Day, which was proclaimed by the United Nations as a day to promote children’s welfare.

PMW relies on public material when it investigates Palestinian media, he told The CJN.

In fact, if he were to launch the organization today, he’d call it “Palestinian Society Watch,” because it digs deep into what makes the Palestinian community tick.

Right now, it’s the glorification of terrorism and martyrdom that is prevalent in Palestinian society. It reaches down into the daily lives of Palestinian youths, even leeching into the world of sport, he said.

Recently, a youth soccer tournament was held and each of the 11 participating teams was named after a terrorist or a prominent leader of a terrorist organization.

Another soccer tournament, along with the championship cup, was named for Ahmad Manasrah, a 13-year-old Palestinian boy who stabbed a 13-year-old Israeli in the neck in 2015.

“The role-modelling and messaging is just unbelievable for children,” Marcus said.

There are also events named for Dalal Mugrahbi, such as a basketball tournament, he continued. Mugrahbi was a terrorist who took part in the 1978 Coastal Road massacre, in which 38 Israelis, including 13 children, were killed.

Palestinian youths are being indoctrinated into believing that killing Jews is “the right thing to do, the heroic thing to do,” he said.

PMW, Marcus continued, “wants Palestinian youth to have a future.” But under the barrage of media and the influence of the education system, “These kids have no future and Israel will suffer, as well, having a generation of Palestinians grow up who believe it’s their obligation to kill Jews.”

Informing parliamentarians about the reality of Palestinian culture is a first step to driving action, according to Marcus.

Liberal MP Michael Levitt chairs the all-party interparliamentary group. He said the information presented by Marcus was troubling, but that Canada has stopped directly funding the PA. Instead, it directs its financial support to specific groups and events. “We want to foster hope and create chances for peace and bridge building,” he said.

That’s the kind of approach that could be emulated by other governments hoping to improve the chances for peace, Levitt said.

Marcus said PMW’s goal is to convince parliamentarians to take joint measures to make funding of the PA conditional on ending the incitement to violence.

Canadian parliamentarians are in a good position to influence their counterparts in other democracies, he continued.

Not long ago, Marcus informed Belgian lawmakers that a school their government had funded was named after Mugrahbi. The Belgian government pressured the PA into changing the name and after one year, that’s exactly what happened. But at the same time, the PA named two other schools in Hebron after the same terrorist.

As a result, the Belgians, who had committed to funding additional schools, cut off school funding to the PA, which affected 10 additional schools.

“We would like to see the PA given an ultimatum that if they have a sporting event named after a terrorist and if school books present terrorist killers of women and children as heroic, we will no longer fund you,” Marcus said.

SHARE AND ENJOY !

Incoming Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is well aware of the PA's insidious lies. Last year, she called for them to stop: "These children deserve an education that instills a respect for life and peace instead of glorifying death and violence. It is disturbing to me as a mother, it is disturbing to me as a United States senator, because it basically, profoundly poisons the minds of these children." Now, she is in a position to do more. She can tell Abbas that the U.S. government will no longer give millions of dollars to a Palestinian Authority that actively pollutes the minds of the innocents. And the Europeans should follow suit.

Palestinians Training Kids to be Suicide Bombers

The extent of this corruption of children's minds was vividly exposed last week by the investigative journalist Gerald Posner, who produced a Web documentary (hosted by thedailybeast.com) based on videos culled from television by Palestinian Media Watch. It is deeply shocking to observe children being programmed for terrorism through the exaltation of suicide bombers as heroes. "Martyrdom is bliss," a child hostess says, referring to a 14-year-old suicide killer. The clips show incessant indoctrination that Islam wants the death of adults and children for Allah and will reward those who achieve Shahada, which Palestinian Media Watch equates with death for Allah. "I have let my land drink my blood, and I have loved the way of Shahada," intones a young boy.

Children being taught murder by rote is child abuse, a mental deformation more damaging than physical injury. Equally disgusting is the demonization of Jews based on a phony history of the Holocaust. Remember the Holocaust, in which the Nazis killed 6 million Jews? Well, take a look at the scene from a PA Fatah "educational video" in which children acting and singing about history recite: "They [Israel] are the ones who did the Holocaust, their knife cuts to the length and width of our flesh. They opened the ovens for us to bake human beings. ... When an oven stops burning, they light 100 [more]." A body called the National Committee for Defense of Children from the Holocaust organized an exhibit, one feature of which, according to al-Ayyam, one of the largest Palestinian newspapers, is "an oven and inside it small [Palestinian] children are being burned. The picture speaks for itself."

This endlessly fraudulent education has had devastating effects on the prospects for peace. The world may have been appalled this year when students studying in a Jerusalem library were shot to death by a Palestinian terrorist, but the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research reports that 84 percent of Palestinians approved.

Wars routinely produce competitive ecstasies of hate. Is Israel any better? The answer is yes. In the early days of the state, the historical narrative of a nation under siege did prejudice the teaching. There were omissions, bias, and distorted stereotypes of Arabs--but not outright incitements to murder. And all that was cleaned up in three successive periods of revision, according to a major study by Prof. Elie Podeh that tracked the evolution of enlightened education in an Israel impelled by democratic values. Israeli schoolbooks no longer seek to impose a single narrative. Podeh concludes: "In historical and national terms, the Palestinians are currently in the same position that Israel was in 50 years ago. If Palestinian textbooks must go through the long, exhausting process undergone by Israeli textbooks, the prospects of a genuine and lasting Israeli-Palestinian conciliation may lie far in the future."

Al-Farhud



During the first two days of June, 1941 - which was the days of Shavuot, one of the major Jewish holidays, - Iraqi nationalists and Palestinian Arabs, headed by Hajj Amin al-Husayni, Jerusalem Mufti have staged bloody pogrom of unarmed, civilian Jewish community in Iraq. The massacre resulted in 145 victims, thousands of injured, and hundreds of children and women raped. It played a major role in speeding up the destruction of the oldest Jewish community outside of Eretz Israel. The Al-Farhud consists of papers on the pogrom and events leading up to it (some originally published in English and others written in Hebrew and appearing now in English for the first time); the book make public previously unknown documents which vividly document Palestinian Arabs as Nazi collaborators long before they metamorphosed into permanent "refugees."

https://www.amazon.com/Al-Farhud-Schmuel-More/dp/9654934906/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=al-farhud&qid=1591534733&s=books&sr=1-1

Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority, the entity that rules the West Bank (otherwise known as Judea and Samaria) has been appointed to lead a terrorist organization. Although the press has frequently called Abbas, who also leads the Fatah movement and the Palestine Liberation Organization, a “moderate” and the P.A. a “peace partner,” not a single major U.S. news outlet has reported the P.A. chief’s new job.

According to Palestinian Media Watch, a nonprofit organization that monitors Arab media in the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, on Aug. 2, the official newspaper of the P.A. reported that Abbas was now “the one responsible for the Palestinian National Fund.”

Israel’s defense ministry designated the PNF a terrorist organization in March 2017, noting: “The fund has a crucial role in the financial support for Palestinian terrorist operatives imprisoned in Israel, and it is used as the most significant route for transferring money.”

Times of Israel reporters Judah Ari Gross and Eric Cortellessa have reported that although the PNF “is said to contain billions of dollars from wealthy Arab donors and profits from various investments … there is little transparency or oversight in the management and use of funds.”

Abbas’ appointment should be newsworthy. As PMW pointed out, the P.A. president is now in violation of Israel’s Counter Terrorism Law 2016-5776, which stipulates that “one who heads a terrorist organization or manages it or takes part in directing the terror organization in general, directly or indirectly” faces “25 years imprisonment.” In other words, a nominal U.S. ally is now leading a terrorist organization.

Indeed, the P.A. is the recipient of considerable Western aid and support and has long been central to the U.S. policy of promoting a two-state solution. The United States even helped create the P.A. as part of the Oslo process in which Palestinian leadership renounced “the use of terrorism and other acts of violence,” promising a “new epoch of peaceful coexistence, free from violence and all other acts which endanger peace and stability.” Needless to say, this hardly squares with paying terrorists.

Yet, many in the press have described Abbas as “moderate” — despite his public refusals to end the terror slush fund.

Several recent reports by The Washington Post, The New York Times and Foreign Policy magazine, among others, have highlighted recent U.S. aid cuts to Palestinian-related entities. In 2017, for example, The Washington Post alone ran more than a dozen stories relating to the peace process. This makes the failure of major U.S. news outlets to report on Abbas’ new posting all the more striking.

The fund itself — and the Authority’s policy of financially incentivizing terrorism — has been the subject of some media attention, much of it inaccurate, as the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America documented in a March 21 Washington Examiner op-ed. In one particularly egregious example, The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” column even approvingly cited research about Palestinian prisoners that was provided by the Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCI-P), a group tied to the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terror organization.
But facts are stubborn things.

According to a Jan. 9 report by Israel’s defense ministry, the P.A. paid terrorists and their families nearly $350 million in 2017 — $160 million for jailed and released prisoners, and $190 million for their families. Payments increase with the length of the sentence and the number of people killed or injured in a terror attack.

Abbas could put an end to these payments. But the prospective peace partner has planted his feet firmly in the sand.

In underreported July 23 remarks in Ramallah, Abbas called imprisoned terrorists “pioneers” while conferring medals on their families. According to a translation provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Abbas then exhorted: “We will neither reduce nor prevent [payment] of allowances to the families of martyrs, prisoners, and released prisoners, as some seek, and if we had only a single penny left, we would pay it to families of the martyrs and prisoners.” Not a single major Western newspaper noted Abbas’ remarks — although some, such as The Washington Post, have previously run stories on Chinese tourists purportedly being overcharged at an Israeli restaurant, among other frivolities.

Equally stubborn, then, are both the Palestinian leadership, which remains committed to paying terrorists, and the many major U.S. news outlets that are seemingly committed to ignoring or obfuscating facts inconvenient to their “blame Israel” narrative.

Poetry and propaganda never won anything...

According to the New York Times, Israel is to blame for the latest round of hostilities between Gaza and Israel, having targeted Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu al-Ata for assassination. Palestinian terrorism and its role in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, by contrast, is sanitized or erased.

In his contorted analysis of the current situation (“As Islamic Jihad and Israel Battled, Hamas, in a Twist, Sat on the Sidelines”), New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief David Halbfinger downplays Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) as a pesky gadfly to Gaza’s Hamas rulers — in his sanitizing words, “a nettlesome, unruly and heavily armed little group” that is hampering Hamas’ efforts “to keep a lid on its conflict with Israel”.

According to Halbfinger, the problem with the PIJ’s “firing hundreds of rockets into Israel” is not the targeting of millions of innocent civilians, forcing them into bomb shelters, but the “sabotaging” of Hamas’ plans to “improve the abysmal quality of life of the Palestinians” under its rule by provoking Israel to “rain down destruction on Hamas’s own installations and men.” Israel, in the New York Times, is ever the culprit.

What the New York Times assiduously ignores is that:

PIJ is one of the most violent Islamist terrorist organizations in the world whose “Manifesto of the Islamic Jihad in Palestine” declares its goal is to “destroy Israel and to end all Western influence in the region.”

PIJ’s enemies include the United States, labelled “the Great-Satan America.”

The terror group rejects “any peaceful solution to the Palestinian cause” insisting that “Jihad” and “martyrdom”—i.e. terrorism – is the only way of achieving its goal of replacing the Westernized Jewish state with an Islamic one.

While Halbfinger cites “Israeli analysts” who accuse Islamic Jihad of being an Iranian proxy, he avoids pointing out that since September 2000, Iran has paid PIJ millions of dollars in bonuses for each successful attack carried out by PIJ; that it has provided PIJ with sophisticated weaponry that includes the Fajr-5 long-range rockets used by PIJ to target civilians deep inside Israel; that it has been helping PIJ produce precision missiles known as “Ashkelon’s hell” that can reach Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Netanya and “even further.” Rather, Halbfinger mitigates these Iran-sponsored war crimes in vague, soft language about Iran’s use of the PIJ “to send Israel messages through relatively low-risk acts of violence.”

Nowhere does the article indicate that PIJ’s armed Al Quds Brigades has taken responsibility for dozens of large-scale bombings of civilian targets– on buses, restaurants, shopping malls, markets, that it has established terrorist training camps for youth, that it boasts having mortars, RPGs, machine guns, .50-caliber sniper rifles, and explosives in its arsenal, that it is involved in digging cross-border tunnels to kidnap Israelis, smuggle weapons and carry out large-scale terror attacks inside Israel.

Nor does the analysis make any reference to PIJ’s overtly anti-Semitic statements, Holocaust denial and threats of slaughter.

The only mention of “terrorist” comes in Halbfinger’s statement that both PIJ and Hamas are “viewed as terrorist organizations by Israel and the United States” as if those two countries are alone in sharing a partisan perspective about PIJ. What the journalist conceals is that numerous other countries, including Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Japan similarly count PIJ as a foreign terror group.

The New York Times correspondent does not bother to explain that the U.S. State Department has designated PIJ a foreign terrorist organization since October 1997, because of the group’s commitment “to the destruction of Israel through attacks against Israeli military and civilian targets and to the creation of an Islamic state in historic Palestine, including present day Israel.” Nor does he note that raining missiles down on Israeli civilians is itself a war crime.

Instead, he loftily describes the terrorist organization as representing the “untrammeled id of the Palestinian resistance movement” — a movement that is elsewhere in the article described as “resistance to the Israeli occupation.” The article thus misleads readers into thinking that the terrorist group’s goal is to resist an Israeli presence in disputed territories, when in fact PIJ declares its mission is to wipe the entire Jewish state off the map and is unwilling to accept Israel within any borders whatsoever.

In this way, the New York Times transforms Palestinian terrorism, war crimes, and attempts to annihilate the Jewish state into mere “resistance” against Israeli actions. It is another example of how the newspaper covers up Palestinian responsibility for the conflict, blaming Israel instead.

Contrary to how the same newspaper covered the assassination of ISIS leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi just two weeks earlier, repeatedly referring to him and his organization as “terrorist,” the New York Times scrupulously refuses to label Palestinian terrorists as such. And if journalists slip and include a reference to Palestinian terrorist organizations, as CAMERA just documented, the newspapers’ editors make sure to scrub it from the record.

This is not accurate or ethical journalism. It is advocacy journalism that misleads the public about what is going on – and provides just another illustration of the New York Times’ ingrained bias against the Jewish state.

The Munich Olympics opened on August 26, 1972, with 195 events and 7,173 athletes representing 121 countries. On the morning of September 5, Palestinian terrorists in ski masks ambushed the Israeli team. After negotiations to free the nine Israelis broke down, the terrorists took the hostages to the Munich airport. Once there, German police opened fire from rooftops and killed three of the terrorists. A gun battle erupted and left the hostages, two more Palestinians and a policeman dead.

After a memorial service was held for the athletes at the main Olympic stadium, International Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage ordered that the games continue, to show that the terrorists hadn’t won. Although the tragedy deeply marred the games, there were numerous moments of spectacular athletic achievement, including American swimmer Mark Spitz’s seven gold medals and teenage Russian gymnast Olga Korbut’s two dramatic gold-medal victories.

In the aftermath of the murders at the ’72 Olympics, the Israeli government, headed by Golda Meir, hired a group of Mossad agents to track down and kill the Black September assassins. The 2005 Stephen Spielberg movie Munich was based on these events.

The Farhud: Roots of The Arab-Nazi Alliance in the Holocaust



The Nazis needed oil. The Arabs wanted the Jews and British out of Iraq. The Mufti of Jerusalem forged a far-ranging alliance with Hitler resulting in the June 1941 Farhud, a Nazi-style pogrom in Baghdad that set the stage for the devastation and expulsion of the Iraqi Jews and ultimately almost a million Jews across the Arab world. The Farhud was the beginning of what became a broad Nazi-Arab alliance in the Holocaust.

During the 1972 Summer Olympics at Munich, in the early morning of September 5, a group of Palestinian terrorists storms the Olympic Village apartment of the Israeli athletes, killing two and taking nine others hostage. The terrorists were part of a group known as Black September, in return for the release of the hostages, theydemanded that Israel release over 230 Arab prisoners being held in Israeli jails and two German terrorists. In an ensuing shootout at the Munich airport, the nine Israeli hostages were killed along with five terrorists and one West German policeman. Olympic competition was suspended for 24 hours to hold memorial services for the slain athletes.

Undeclared Wars with Israel: East Germany and the West German Far Left, 1967–1989



Undeclared Wars with Israel examines a spectrum of antagonism by the East German government and West German radical leftist organizations - ranging from hostile propaganda and diplomacy to military support for Israel's Arab armed adversaries - from 1967 to the end of the Cold War in 1989. This period encompasses the Six-Day War (1967), the Yom Kippur War (1973), Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982, and an ongoing campaign of terrorism waged by the Palestine Liberation Organization against Israeli civilians. This book provides new insights into the West German radicals who collaborated in 'actions' with Palestinian terrorist groups, and confirms that East Germany, along with others in the Soviet Bloc, had a much greater impact on the conflict in the Middle East than has been generally known. A historian who has written extensively on Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, Jeffrey Herf now offers a new chapter in this long, sad history.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DPNK5PS/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i3

This groundbreaking history connects Nazi Germany’s Arabic-language propaganda during World War II to anti-Semitism in the Middle East in the decades since.

Jeffrey Herf, a leading scholar in the field, offers the most extensive examination to date of Nazi propaganda activities targeting Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East during World War II and the Holocaust. He draws extensively on previously unused and little-known archival resources, including the shocking transcriptions of the “Axis Broadcasts in Arabic” radio programs, which convey a strongly anti-Semitic message.

Herf explores the intellectual, political, and cultural context in which German and European radical anti-Semitism was found to resonate with similar views rooted in a selective appropriation of the traditions of Islam. Pro-Nazi Arab exiles in wartime Berlin, including Haj el-Husseini and Rashid el-Kilani, collaborated with the Nazis in constructing their Middle East propaganda campaign. By integrating the political and military history of the war in the Middle East with the intellectual and cultural dimensions of the propagandistic diffusion of Nazi ideology, Herf offers the most thorough examination to date of this important chapter in the history of World War II. Importantly, he also shows how the anti-Semitism promoted by the Nazi propaganda effort contributed to the anti-Semitism exhibited by adherents of radical forms of Islam in the Middle East today.

The planned extermination of the Jews living in Palestine was only weeks away . . .

In 1941-42 Nazi Germany appeared to be invincible in North Africa, and many Arab nationalists looked to a leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini, for guidance.

The Mufti had several meetings with Adolf Hitler. Nazi Germany also pledged to wipe out the Jews who had been living in Palestine since time immemorial as well as the new arrivals from the beginning of the modern Zionist movement in the nineteenth century and following the Balfour Declaration in 1917.

A special unit was assembled and trained in Greece in the spring of 1942 by SD officer Walter Rauff, the originator of the gassing van experiments in Poland and the Soviet Union. They were to operate behind the lines with the help of those in the region who were eager to join the task force. After El Alamein, the Einsatzkommando shifted its operations to Tunisia, where it implemented cruel anti-Jewish policies for many months.

Over 2,500 Tunisian Jews were to die in the camps set up by the Nazis and their collaborators.

The authors have identified the relevant documents and analyzed the racist, ideological, political, and religious implications of the planning of a specific regional extermination program within the context of the Holocaust.
