The Atlantic Uses Old Documentary to Compare Trump's America to Nazi-Occupied France
Newsbusters ^ | April 21, 2026 | P.J. Gladnick

Media liberals have been performing an increasingly common shtick. They piously proclaim that they are not comparing President Donald Trump and MAGA to Hitler and the Nazis ...and then they proceed to do exactly that. The latest example of this absurdly disingenuous technique comes via David A. Graham in Saturday's Atlantic magazine with "The Film That Explains Contemporary America."

The title itself actually says that the film directed by Marcel Ophuls which is the excellent documentary The Sorrow and The Pity about life in occupied France during World War II "EXPLAINS Contemporary America." And yet Graham after the obvious comparison presents the following obligatory disclaimer denying that he is making any such comparison. So let us first look at his disclaimer in which any savvy observer would know he is just winking at the readers to not take it too seriously.

Stop repeating stupid propaganda rubbish.

No, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, did not give Adolf Hitler the idea for the Holocaust, according to leading historians and historical documents.

While al-Husseini was an anti-Semitic Nazi collaborator who met with Hitler in November 1941, the Nazi policy of systematic extermination (the "Final Solution") was already underway by the time of their meeting.

“The truth is the “Final Solution” was presented to Hitler by the Grand Mufti ruling Palestine in the late 30’s”

Not exactly. The Mufti met Hitler in 1941 and was not the ruler of Palestine at any time. The genocide was well underway when the Mufti met Hitler. Let’s not muddy the water with incorrect history.
