"Here many people like Hitler" [author - 2014 recalls interaction with "Palestinians"]
Book: Adoleszenz in einem palästinensischen... ^ | 2014 | Christoph H. Schwarz

Hitler smiles in the photo, leans slightly forward and returns the handshake on both sides of the car.

Over this photo was a text in Arabic (at Hitler's chest level), which Samir and Hassan translated for me as follows: "Hitler said in his book (Mein Kampf): It was in my power to kill all the Jews in the world, but I have..."

The picture seems to be relatively common, I found it later after a short internet search on other sites than Samir's closed forum; if you entered "Hitler" in Arabic letters in the Google image search, it was among the first 120 hits in 2009.

Samir asked me my opinion of Hitler. Not knowing how to react, I said nothing and just shook my head.

He continued to explain: "Here many people like Hitler" and showed me a picture of Hitler on his mobile phone....

[... Zudem war dieser Umgang einer sinnvollen Datenerhebung wenig förderlich, da ich in den entsprechenden Situationen ebensowenig in der Lage war, ruhig nachzufragen, um weiter zu eruieren, was etwa die Figur Hitler für meine Gesprächspartner genauer bedeutete, von welcher Relevanz ihre positive Bezugnahme zum Nationalsozialismus in ihrem Alltag war und über wie viel Wissen über die Shoah sie verfügten.

Dieses Interaktionsmuster zeigte sich auch in der Begegnung mit Samir und Hassan. Als sie mir bei unserer das erste Begegnung Fotos auf Hassans Computer zeigten, präsentierten sie mir auch ein zugangsbeschränktes Internet-Forum, auf dem sie mit ihren Freunden kommunizierten. Als Samir zum Ende der Seite runterscrollte, bemerkte ich, dass neben zahlreichen Bildern von Arafat dort auch ein Bild von Hitler zu sehen war. Ich bat ihn, mir dieses Bild noch einmal zu zeigen. Das Foto zeigte Hitler, in einem Cabrio stehend, umringt von einer begeisterten Menschenmenge (anscheinend alle SS-Männer), die ihm die Hand zum Hitlergruß entgegenstrecken, wobei diejenigen in nächster Nähe des Autos auch versuchen, ihm die Hand zu schütteln oder ihn an den Schultern zu berühren.

Hitler lächelt auf dem Foto, steht leicht vorgebeugt und erwidert den Handschlag auf beiden Seiten des Autos. Über dieses Foto war ein Text auf Arabisch gelegt (auf Brusthöhe Hitlers), den Samir und Hassan mir so übersetzten: "Hitler sagte in seinem Buch (Mein Kampf): Es stand in meiner Macht alle Juden der Welt zu töten, doch ich habe einige...

Das Bild scheint relativ verbreitet zu sein, ich fand es später nach kurzer Internetrecherche auf anderen Seiten als dem geschlossenen Forum von Samir; wenn man "Hitler" in arabischen Buchstaben bei der Google-Bildersuche eingab, war es 2009 unter den ersten 120 Treffern zu finden.

Samir fragte mich nach meiner Meinung über Hitler. Da ich nicht wusste, wie ich reagieren sollte, schwieg ich und schüttelte lediglich den Kopf. Er fuhr erklärend fort: „Here many people like Hitler", und zeigte mir noch ein Bild von Hitler auf seinem Handy...]

... In addition, this way of dealing with a meaningful collection of data was not very conducive, since I was just as incapable of calmly asking questions in the relevant situations in order to find out what the figure of Hitler meant to my interlocutors, the relevance of their positive reference to National Socialism in their everyday life and how much knowledge they had about the Shoah.

This interaction pattern was also evident in the encounter with Samir and Hassan. When she met me for the first time showing photos on Hassan's computer, they also presented me with a restricted internet forum where they communicated with their friends.

When Samir scrolled down to the bottom of the page, I noticed that there was a picture of Hitler in addition to numerous pictures of Arafat. I asked him to show me this picture again. The photo showed Hitler standing in a convertible, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd (apparently all SS men) extending their hands to him in a Nazi salute, with those closest to the car also attempting to shake his hand or touch his shoulders.

Hitler smiles in the photo, leans slightly forward and returns the handshake on both sides of the car.

Over this photo was a text in Arabic (at Hitler's chest level), which Samir and Hassan translated for me as follows: "Hitler said in his book (Mein Kampf): It was in my power to kill all the Jews in the world, but I have..."

I remember in the 90’s that Mein Kampf was the number one selling book in Arab countries.

The swastika and the scimitar

LATimes, Aug. 17, 2006.

...the point isn’t to dredge up ancient history about Muslims and Nazis. Many Swedes got along swimmingly with the Nazis but who worries about the Swedes today? The Muslim world is another matter. And unlike the Swedes, the similarities between Nazism and Islamic fascism are not all in the past.

Hitler’s ‘Grossmufti von Jerusalem’

JPost, Sep 4, 2008.

A comparison of murderous Nazi ideology with the jihadist ideology that dominates headlines today... early Palestinian nationalism was influenced heavily by Nazism. While other nations have disavowed fascism (Germany and Italy, for example) and have since developed into thriving democracies, the Palestinians have never reconciled with their past...
