Chikli posted a letter found in the British archives to coincide with Yom Hashoah. The confidential letter was sent to the British Prime Minister by the Foreign Office.
The letter said that al-Banna had sent secret messages to the Germans from his apartment in Cairo, which served as a front for a law office.
Al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928 in order to re-establish the caliphate after the fall of the Ottoman empire. The organisation was inspired by Nazism and antisemitic tropes from the Prototocols of the Elders of Zion and Mein Kampf. It advocated violence and martyrdom in order to achieve its aims. From the 1930s, the Muslim Brotherhood incited against Jews and Copts in Egypt. The Brotherhood’s Gaza branch, Hamas, was founded in 1987.
Chikly said:” Holocaust Remembrance Day is an opportunity to reveal the deep relationship between the Nazis and Muslim Brotherhood.”
They were natural allies.

Weirdly, the Jewish Zionist paramilitary group Lehi, aka the Stern Gang, also attempted to make an alliance with the Nazis against the British who were capping Jewish immigration and in no hurry to permit an independent Jewish state..
Having enemies of enemies in common does not make friends.
Unfortunately, much of the young are not exposed to this information so this is a timely reminder that it is our duty to educate the generations behind us on who these people really are -
Paging Captain Obvious.
The entire Muslim Brotherhood are Antisemitic Terrorist Murderers, that's why the Assad Family eliminated so many of 'em from Syria.
Too bad the US State Department, Obama and Democrats love 'em so much.
History BUMP! “Those who don’t learn from it...”
More information would not doubt be available in a major university library system.
Thus it has been since the beginning and it gets brought up every few years and people continue to act shocked.
IV. Palestine
German anti-Semitism was a natural ally to the Arabs of Palestine. Few of these Arabs stopped to think that their..
