Arabs Read Hitler

"My Struggle" Becomes Best Seller Among Anti-Semitics.

BERLIN. November 26 (AP). -- Arabs, who join with Nazi Germany in antagonism to Jews, are reading Adolf Hitler's book "My Struggle."

The Fuehrer's autobiography, with its anti-Semitic theroies, has been translated into Arabic and already is a best seller in Palestine, German newspapers say.

The German edition once was barred in Palestine during the high point of Jewish immigration there, but Arabs who fought the Jewish influx, are reported much interested in the new translation.

Not just the Mufti...Nazism was big by Arab Muslims in the area... and just as the Feb 1941 poll showed over 80% supported the Axis. And as (Islamist, later became first PLO head) Ahmad Shukeiri wrote that he/they cheered, prayed for the Nazis.

They’re too stupid to realize that once they exhausted their usefulness, they too would be headed to the pizza ovens.

[Conservat1]

Of course. The Mufti knew, the Arabs would be next to the ovens.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Many Arabs today are happy to coexist with Israel. President Trump gave us the Abraham Accords. A new generation of educated Arabs realize there no money to be made hating Israel. Of course modern Arab leaders are not Islamist fanatics. They don't see any future in Hitlerism. That's what makes them modern.

I hang out on Gab a lot. It is filled with Anti Semitic posts. How many of them are bots designed to make Gab look like a hangout for Nazi’s and how many of them are actually moronic or evil enough to embrace it I don’t know. It is part of the usual Leftist lie/narrative that Nazi’s are on the Right.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Muslims love Hitler because he was a blood-soaked occultist bound for Hell.

Isn’t Gab now like 50-percent ‘agent-provocateurs’ (FBI types)?

Could be. I spend a lot of time blocking accounts. Very few have blocked me in return.

Mein kampf among the Arabs under its standing heading a books and authors the new York times last sunday published the following paragraph:

Hitler's mein Kampf once banned in Palestine is now reported to be a Best seller among the Arabs who have joined with nazi Germany in antagonism to the Jews.

Houghton Mifflin company have recently issued a popular priced edition of the Book under the title 'My Battle.'

One is at a loss to explain this bit of news. Was it the purpose of the item to call attention to the fact that the Nazis are sowing their seeds of venue even among the Arabs of Palestine? This is not news. Nor Are the Nazis alone in this nefarious activity. The Russian communists have not remained Idle either. Or perhaps the emphasis should be placed on the fact that American publisher Houghton Mifflin  company is furnishing the sinews of hate indeed is making a substantial contribution towards the spread of the nazi maniacal race doctrine among the primitive peoples of the Orient. A rather intriguing paragraph to say the least.

I am not defending Hitler, and I am not defending Mein Kampf. Period.

But Mein Kampf is not the book it is portrayed to be. A person can read the book without melting like the Wicked Witch.

I am not advocating that anybody read the book. But if a person reads the book out of historical interest, he will find something entirely different from what he has been brainwashed to expect.

And that is the point. To read the book objectively would undermine the daily obsession with Hitler as presented every night on TV, which when you think about it is pretty bizarre in itself. Daily Hitler, but no daily Lenin, no daily Stalin, no daily communist tyrant, no daily communist slaughter of innocents, no daily wealthy, entitled communists oppressing and impoverishing normal human beings.

Maybe there is a connection.

[jmacusa]

Read the book objectively?! That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen posted here and in 12 years I’ve seen some stupid shit posted here.

I tried reading Mein Kampf .

Mein Kampf is the most incoherent, incomprehensible and most turgid pile of bs ever put to print.

There are 443 pages in Mein Kampf. I managed to push my way, and I do mean push my way through 200 pages until I couldn’t take anymore.

In all the thousands of words I did read the only two Hitler got right were his name.

Another popular Nazi tract in the Arab Middle East is the wholly debunked “Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion’’.

[jmacusa]

And while you’re at it try finding a copy of Alfred Rosenbergs “The Myth Of The Twentieth Century’’ .

Rosenberg was the official Nazi Party ‘’philosopher’’ and even Hitler confessed to finding Rosenbergs writings to be incomprehensible.

Yes. And the not very open societies rebuttals and truth are rare..
