Amin al-Husseini docu: part 1

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Last

Not that long ago, I mentioned in one of my daily update posts, Amin al-Husseini, the Nazi collaborator, Arab religious leader that shaped the Israeli-Arab conflict more than any other person. I pointed out that there is an EXCELLENT docu series on Israeli TV, which covers Middle Eastern leaders hostile to Israel, and the fascinating ep they did on this man. It's available online and for free, but only in Hebrew, with no English subs.

Well... guess what? I'll do it in fragments, but I want to translate this ep, and then add the subs. Here is part 1:

Hitler, al-Husseini, Arafat, Abbas, the Nazis, the a Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas .... they're all connected. The Nazis and today's Islamists have the same goal of genocide.

It was [Hitler's friend, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-] Husseini who turned the Arab-Jewish dispute from a resolvable conflict over land to an irresolvable conflict over religion.

Were a Hamas-run state to replace Israel "from the river to the sea", it would be a theocratic regime closer to that of Iran than to the autocracies of Jordan or Egypt. Jews and Christians would not be allowed to live as equal citizens in such a state. Indeed, in areas currently controlled by Hamas, Christians and other non-Muslim minorities have been ethnically cleansed.

Hamas is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Iranian mullahs....

The real focus of these demonstrations is not on the alleged victims, but rather on the alleged perpetrators. The perpetrators are actually more anti-Israel than pro-Palestinian... It has always been more about identifying with the alleged perpetrators -- Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Che Guevara -- than with the alleged victims.

It is Hamas, not Israel, that is responsible for much, if not all, of the victimization of Palestinian civilians.

The disproportionate focus on the Palestinians and Israel can be explained only by bigoted hatred of the nation state of the Jewish people and its alliance with the US, and the wish to see them brought down.

Amin al-Husseini docu: part 3

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Last

A bit of background on Ezra Yachin, since the relevant parts of his life story are not really covered in the docu:

He was born on June 11, 1928 in Jaffa, in Israel, back when it was under the British Mandatory occupation. His father was an Israeli Jew, descendant of a family who returned to Israel from Syria, while Ezra's mother was an Egyptian Jew, who moved to Israel after her marriage to his dad.

Not long after the marriage, the family moved to Jerusalem, first to the Old City, and later to Yemin Moshe (the Old City of Jerusalem became far too crowded, and Jews, who were the biggest of the 3 religious groups there at the time, started building new neighborhoods outside the Old City walls, now considered historically significant. The first was Mishkenot Sha'ananim in 1860, and Yemin Moshe was the second, in 1891).

Ezra was 1.5 years old during the 1929 anti-Jewish Arab riots, his family was besieged by an Arab mob, and it hid in one room, but then baby Ezra started crying. The mob heard the baby's sobs, and started breaking in, but then one of the rioters threw a rock at the window, which missed its target and ended up bouncing back from the wall, injuring the man who threw it. The mob got scared, evacuated the injured rioter, and dispersed. Later, a mob gathered again outside the family home, but then an old Arab woman shouted that it was a waste of time going after the poor Jews of this neighborhood, and she led the mob away, to where she claimed she knew the rich Jews live.

At the age of 15, Ezra joined one of the 3 Jewish undergrounds, the Lehi, and his tasks were to glue the underground's posters to the walls of homes around Jerusalem, as well as to try and get intel about the British from his work at the postal office. His friend, 17 years old Alexander Rubowitz, was kidnapped by British police on May 6, 1947 when caught on his way to glue posters for the underground. He was taken by car to the Yehuda desert, and murdered there. His body was never found, but there is a confession from his murderer, Captain Roy Farran, which was ignored by British authorities. Ezra's testimony can be heard in a documentary about Alexander, A Mandate to Murder (currently only available online in Hebrew). This is an underground poster asking where is Alexander Haim Rubowitz:

Ezra fought in Israel's Independence War, including in the "Death Rooftop" battle for the Jewish Quarter, during which he sustained an injury to his right eye, and a shrapnel penetrated his skull. He was rushed into a surgery that lasted almost a full day, during which his cerebrospinal fluid continuously leaked out. He miraculously survived and made a full recovery, other than losing his eye.

He still lives in Jerusalem, and over the years has published 10 books, including Death in Chains, about the Jewish underground members who were killed by the British without a trial.

In Oct 2023, he volunteered to serve in the army again at the age of 95, becoming Israel's oldest reservist ever.

Modern Islam = repackaged Nazism and needs to be understood in this context.

The Nazis and the Arabs of Palestine video is a must-see

As some of you are already aware, I fully stand with Israel which is very connected with my uncompromising faith in the Lord. I keep on praying to Him for Israel to overwhelm its enemies, rescue the hostages and recover from the effects of the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks committed by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. I can assure all of you that nobody from the evil Islamo-Leftist mob,…

Just over a year ago, the entire world woke up to news of a massacre.

We all know the horrid tale. Waves of gunmen—some on paragliders, others on motorcycles—attacked families at kibbutzim and young people attending a music festival. The marauders filmed their murders on GoPro cameras. They burned families alive in their safe rooms, raped and mutilated their victims, and took hostages back to Gaza on golf carts. 

Why did they do it? 

This is how Al Jazeera journalist Marc Lamont Hill ascribed the motivation: “Before October 7, the people of Gaza didn’t have one minute of self-determination.” Never mind that Israel pulled out of the territory in 2005. Hill calls this fact “a right-wing lie that we’ve got to dissect with the truth, which is that for a hundred years there’s been a settler colonial project.”

For progressives, October 7 was a jailbreak from an open-air prison. 

But for the belligerents, it was Operation Al-Aqsa Flood: an act of jihad, or holy war. 

That’s what Hamas said shortly afterward, anyway. On October 10, they released a communiqué, which explained that the purpose of this massacre was “to bolster the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the face of the open aggression of the occupation, thwart its schemes and dreams of Judaizing Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, and achieve victory for the just cause of our Palestinian people and our struggle for the liberation of our land, prisoners, and sanctities.” 

It’s worth lingering on that phrase, “Judaizing Jerusalem and al-Aqsa.”

Because it reveals something very important about the Israel-Palestine conflict: that much of this is not about a country; it is about an ancient city. The world knows it as Jerusalem. The Palestinians call it Al-Quds. In the middle of this city is a large hill known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif, or noble sanctuary. Here, there are two great mosques: Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa. This, Muslims believe, is where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven in a dream.

And if you listen to Hamas, they’ll tell you that there is a plot by the Jews to destroy Al-Aqsa and build a third Jewish Temple where it now stands. 

That is a lie.

It’s been 57 years since Israel won the territory in the Six-Day War—plenty of time to Judaize Temple Mount. And though there are a few on the fringe of Israeli politics who speak fanatically about the desire to build a third temple, every government since Jerusalem was reunified has entrusted the mosques on top of the mountain to the guardianship of a Jordanian religious agency known as the Waqf.

Muslims, not Jews, remain the custodians of Al-Aqsa. 

But it’s worth understanding where this lie came from.

Palestinian nationalism has taken many forms over the past century, from Maoism to Islamism, but this one theme persists: Jews have no place in their ancestral homeland, and they threaten the third holiest site in Islam. You hear it over and over again in the history of Palestinian revolts. And it stems directly from one man.

Born in 1895 to one of Jerusalem’s great families, he could trace his lineage back to the prophet Muhammad himself. He was a seminary school dropout, an antisemite, and a Nazi collaborator—and the first leader of Palestine. His name was Haj Amin al-Husseini. And while Palestinians today are embarrassed by his legacy, it’s a legacy that explains many of the pathologies that still afflict their leaders—from the celebration of spectacular violence to the rejection of compromise.

The story begins in 1920, just three years after the British adopted the Balfour Declaration, by which the empire promised to facilitate the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.

The British became the protectorate of Palestine in 1920, but they did not conquer or covet the land; it had been entrusted to the empire through the League of Nations. Before the British Mandate, Palestine had belonged to the Ottoman Empire, which collapsed after World War I. There had never been a Palestinian state as such.

But there had been Arab nationalism—both as a backlash against the Ottoman empire, and as a movement based on shared language, culture, and geography, according to Hussein Ibish, a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.

And the first birth pangs of a Palestinian national movement began as a rejection of the Balfour Declaration—and specifically, the Zionist Jews returning to Palestine to create a Jewish state. It’s at this volatile moment that a young Haj Amin al-Husseini came onto the scene.

On April 4, 1920���which, in the Christian calendar, was Easter Sunday—Jerusalem’s Muslims were celebrating the festival of Nabi Musa, which involves marching to the tomb of Moses near Jericho.

A crowd chanted: “Palestine is our land and the Jews are our dogs.” 

Al-Husseini, who was only 23 years old at the time, stood on a balcony in the Old City, held up a photograph of King Faisal of Syria, and shouted: “This is your king.”

King Faisal was one of the first independent Arab leaders to emerge after World War I, and at the time, many Palestinians considered the territory to be southern Syria.

The crowd then descended on the Jewish quarter of the old city, bearing knives and clubs. In the ensuing pogrom, five Jews and four Arabs were killed. All told, 211 Jews and 33 Arabs were wounded in the riots.

He spent ten months in Israeli detention after being picked up from the IDF in a closed military area during the last war. Even if he wasn't fighting with any group at the time, he received a hero's welcome by militias and local political figures after being driven through the streets of Gaza holding an M16 and a Fatah flag.
