Alan Dershowitz skriver på sin blogg om Hamas nya ”kulturkrig”. Man vill med hjälp av historieomskrivning vinna sympatier för sin sak – genom att lansera palestinierna som de nya judarna och judarna som de nya nazisterna.

Hamas menar att de inte har något med förintelsen att göra. Men Dershowitz lyfter fram historiska fakta som visar på raka motsatsen:

The truth is that the Palestinian leadership, supported by the Palestinian masses, played a significant role in Hitler’s Holocaust.

The official leader of the Palestinians, Haj Amin al-Husseini, spent the war years in Berlin with Hitler, serving as a consultant on the Jewish question. He was taken on a tour of Auschwitz and expressed support for the mass murder of European Jews. He also sought to ”solve the problems of the Jewish element in Palestine and other Arab countries” by employing ”the same method” being used ”in the Axis countries.” […]

Not only did Husseini exhort his followers to murder the Jews; he also took an active role in trying to bring about that result. For example, in 1944, a German-Arab commando unit, under Husseini’s command, parachuted into Palestine with the intention of poisoning Tel Aviv’s wells.

Husseini also helped to inspire a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq and helped to organize thousands of Muslims in the Balkans into military units known as Handselar divisions, which carried out atrocities against Yugoslav Jews, Serbs and Gypsies. After a meeting with Hitler, he recorded the following in his diary:

The Mufti: ”The Arabs were Germany’s natural friends… They were therefore prepared to cooperate with Germany with all their hearts and stood ready to participate in a war, not only negatively by the commission of acts of sabotage and the instigation of revolutions, but also positively by the formation of an Arab Legion. In this struggle, the Arabs were striving for the independence and the unity of Palestine, Syria and Iraq…”

Men minnet av Mufti Al-Husseini hålls fortfarande högt i Palestina:

It is also fair to say that Husseini’s pro-Nazi sympathies and support were widespread among his Palestinian followers, who regarded him as a hero even after the war and the disclosure of his role in Nazi atrocities. The notorious photograph of Husseini and Hitler, together in Berlin, was proudly displayed in many Palestinian homes, even after Husseini’s activities in the Holocaust became widely known and praised among Palestinians.

[…]According to Husseini’s biographer, ”Large parts of the Arab world shared [Husseini's] sympathy with Nazi Germany during the Second World War… Haj Amin’s popularity among the Palestinian Arabs and within the Arab states actually increased more than ever during his period with the Nazis.” […]

Indeed, Husseini is still revered today among many Palestinians as a national hero. Yasser Arafat, in an interview conducted in 2002 and reprinted in the Palestinian daily Al-Quds on August 2, 2002, called Husseini ”our hero,” referring to the Palestinian people. Arafat also boasted of being ”one of his troops,” even though he knew Husseini was ”considered an ally of Nazis.” Today many Palestinians in east Jerusalem want to turn his home into a shrine.

I Sverige hörs påståenden om folkmord mot palestinierna, och anklagelser om nazism mot israeler. Den stora lögn som sprids har definitivt fått fäste. Det här är en av de stora sanningar som måste föras fram.

Kanske var det något i den stilen Avigador Lieberman tänkte sig när han visade foton på Al-husseini och Hitler nyligen.
