Revisiting Netanyahu on the Mufti’s Holocaust Role

Remember the contretemps when, five years ago, Binyamin Netanyahu attacked the Grand Mufti of the Palestine Mandate?

Examples:


Anger at Netanyahu claim Palestinian grand mufti inspired Holocaust

Israeli PM accused of trivialising the Holocaust for saying grand mufti of Jerusalem gave Hitler idea of exterminating Europe’s Jews


Netanyahu Denounced for Saying Palestinian Inspired Holocaust

Israeli historians and opposition politicians joined Palestinians in denouncing the Israeli prime minister


Netanyahu: Hitler Didn't Want to Exterminate the Jews

Prime minister tells World Zionist Congress that Hitler only wanted to expel the Jews, but Jerusalem's Grand Mufti convinced him to exterminate them, a claim that was rejected by most accepted Holocaust scholars.

And then there is this:

...at a war crimes trial on 26 July 1946 Adolf Eichmann’s deputy Dieter Wisliceny testified that “the Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and advisor of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan.”   

which is from Joseph B. Schechtman, The Mufti and the Fuehrer: The Rise and Fall of Haj Aminel-Husseini (New York: Thomas Yoseloff, 1965), p. 160.  

In the British Foreign Office file, 371/52585/E1984/515/31, F.O. minute, October 6, 1946, you can find this quotation of Wisliceny:

"According to my opinion, the Grand-Mufti who has been in Berlin since 1941 played a role in the decision of the German Government to exterminate the European Jews."

Phillip Mattar describes those affidavits as unreliable yet Eichmann himself, in his testimony at his trial, confirmed that the Nazis had "an agreement with the Grand Mufti" to prevent emigration to Palestine (The Eichmann Trial: Proceedings, Session No. 58, p. 1053).
But the British did not feel confident to place him on trial.  Other historical surviews of the Mufti disagree with the Mufti not bein involved firectly in the Holocaust.  Here. And here.

Rafael Medoff took to task those who had an interest in downplaying the Mufti Nazi links.  He notes a 1990 study of American Zionism during the Holocaust years. Its author


claims that American Zionist organizations exaggerated the Mufti's crimes and sought his indictment as a war criminal on the false premise that he had a role in formulating the Final Solution

What they did seek to charge the Mufti was this

the Mufti's organizing the Arab Legion, his role in the pro-Nazi revolt in Iraq in 1941, and the Yugoslavia atrocities — but not the genocide.

Medoff includes, in a footnote,  reliable evidence of a Nazi link to Palestinian Arab violence before the outbreak of World War II during 1938 based on five original British police documents proving such a link that were published in Efraim Dekel, Shai: The Exploits of Haganah Intelligence, New York, 1959.

More from Medoff:


A specific link between the Mufti and the Final Solution became known in early 1946 when a prominent American journalist, Edgar Ansel Mowrer of the New York Post, cited documents revealing Husseini's effort to interfere in ransom negotiations over European Jewish refugees. The documents referred to a proposal by the British in the spring of 1943 to permit 4,000 Jewish refugee children from Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and Slovakia, accompanied by 500 adults, to enter Palestine, in exchange for the release of 20,000German prisoners of war. The Germans were interested in the scheme and entered into negotiations with the British, but later withdrew after the Mufti protested...Surely the Mufti knew something about the Final Solution from the visit by his top aides to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, near Oranienburg. David Yisraeli long ago uncovered German Foreign Office correspondence documenting how the Mufti arranged, in 1942, for several of his assistants to undergo training by the SS, including a visit to Sachsenhausen,adjacent to the headquarters of the Inspectorate of Concentration Camps, in order "to learn how to deal with the enemy, particularly the Jews."

And

Eichmann himself confirmed that the Mufti's aides were given SS training, and that he himself briefed them on the genocide process. He testified at his 1961 trial that on one occasion, three of the Mufti's Arab associates "came to work in my Section for their information for a day or two."  He recalled: "I received the order to open everything to them, to let them look everywhere, also state secrets."  In his testimony, Eichmann also acknowledged that the Mufti's aides were given training, in his department and others, to "recondition [them] into experts for any Gestapo to be set up in the Near East" in the event that the Nazis conquered that region.

The 1943 Himmler congratulatory telegram to the Mufti is, alas, too non-specific although being friendly enough with Himmkler to receive such a missive is interesting.

At the time of the Netanyahu-Mufti affair, Time Magazine had this to offer from 
David Kaiser on the Mufti:


He proposed an Arab revolt all across the Middle East to fight the Jews...He also wanted to form an Arab legion, using Arab prisoners from the French Empire who were then POWs inside Germany. He also asked Hitler to declare publicly, as the German government had privately, that it favored “the elimination of the Jewish national home” in Palestine.Netanyahu uttered a half-truth when he referred to Hitler’s supposed desire to expel, rather than murder, the Jews. 


Nevertheless, the Holocaust was not the brainchild of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem although he had plans for crematoria in the Dotan Valley in northern Samaria.  And let us not forget this from Bernard Lewis' 1999 book, "Semites and Anti-Semites: An Inquiry Into Conflict and Prejudice", pages 146-47, that I posted five years ago

He was responsible for participating in the Holocaust bureaucracy, for trying to kill Jews and in instances, succeeding. He encouraged through his radio broadcasts ideintification with the Nazi ideology and policies. He aligned himself with Hitler as early as 1933. He was not a bystander, clapping. He tried to participant as much as he could.

I intended to post you a bit of observation so as to thank you so much as before regarding the magnificent pointers you’ve provided here. It’s strangely open-handed with you to offer freely exactly what a few people would have distributed as an e book in order to make some dough for themselves, primarily considering the fact that you might well have tried it in case you decided. Those smart ideas in addition acted like a easy way to fully grasp that other people have the identical eagerness just like my personal own to grasp more in terms of this problem. I think there are lots of more pleasurable times ahead for individuals who looked over your website.

would like to show my appreciation to the writer for rescuing me from this type of situation. After looking through the the net and seeing methods which were not pleasant, I figured my life was over. Living minus the answers to the problems you’ve sorted out by way of your entire short article is a crucial case, and those that might have adversely affected my entire career if I hadn’t come across your web site. Your actual capability and kindness in maneuvering all the pieces was vital. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come upon such a stuff like this. I can at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this high quality and results-oriented guide. I won’t hesitate to refer your site to anyone who requires counselling about this issue.

My wife and i ended up being so fortunate that Jordan managed to deal with his inquiry out of the precious recommendations he was given out of the blog. It’s not at all simplistic just to find yourself giving away tactics which often a number of people have been trying to sell. And we realize we’ve got the writer to be grateful to because of that. All of the explanations you made, the easy website menu, the friendships your site help engender – it’s got most fabulous, and it’s really aiding our son in addition to the family understand the topic is enjoyable, and that’s really pressing. Thank you for the whole lot!

* September, 1938, around 100 representatives from Arab Palestine at Nazi conference in Nuremberg.

* May 1939, Istiqlal's Auni 'abd al-Hadi, meets Nazi officials in Berlin.

* Hitler's radio 'voice of the Arabs' was first by, Younis Bahri. It was especially boosted by the aforementioned Mufti himself after 1941.

* Poll by Mr. Sari Sakanini in Palestine, in February 1941, found, 88 percent of Arabs supported the Nazis.

* There were also no excuses for: the grand Mufti in inciting (with other Arabs, including from Palestine: Akram Zuaiter and Darwish al-Miqdadi) the 1941 Farhud pogrom where some say upto a thousand died. There was mass rape and children were thrown into waters in front of parents); or calling (in his voice of the Arabs broadcast from Berlin) all Arabs "to kill the Jews wherever they are - this pleases Allah;" or planning a crematorium in Dotan Valley near Nablus, among other things.

* His disciple Ahmad Shukairy (who helped the Mufti's gang to kill his brother Dr. Anwar Shukeiri on June 8, 1939) and partner Jamal al-Husseini, both justifying the Holocaust in 1946.

* The married not-holy Mufti spent the war years 1941-1945 in Berlin, surrounded by German women and received a lot of money.

* By the way, it wasn't just the Mufti who worked with the Nazis. He had some 200 Arabs with him, mainly from Palestine.

* After the war, the Mufti was cheered by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Infamous Nazi anti-Semite Johann Von Leers (Omar Amin) was welcomed in Egypt by the Mufti and he became the political adviser to the Information Department under Muhammad Naguib and Gamal Abdel Nasser. He also helped Nazi Ernst-Wilhelm Springer escape into Egypt.

* 1946, though the Mufti 'was not allowed to set foot in Palestine, the Arab League now enthroned him as the new leader of the Palestinian Arabs with an annual budget of 10,000 pounds sterling.'

* 1947, Arabs recruit ex Nazis to fight the Jews. All in all. Some research showed, around 1,000 of them.

* 1947, Issa Nakhleh would work for the Mufti in the Arab Higher Committee, then agitating in Argentina, then coming back to the US and spread propaganda for decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s) with neo-Nazis.

* 1947-1948, Arab leadership including the Mufti, told the Arabs of Palestine to leave the land till "victory."
