Swastika on the walls of Jerusalem's Zion Gate.
Arab feelings in 1936
.






1936 was not a good year for democracy. The Fascist countries were seen as successful by many people. Every step taken by Hitler or Mussolini met with hesitation and trepidation on the part of the leaders of the free world. Hitler armed Germany, contraven-ing the Treaty of Versailles. The Wehrmacht marched to the Rhineland; this was a blatant violation of the Locarno Pact, according to which Germany was to keep the area demilitarized. France, which was directly affected by this move, reacted merely with protests.

During that same year, 1936, a high-ranking political refugee came to Jerusalem — Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia. The Emperor's exile symbolized a loss of deterrent power on the part of Britain, which could not prevent Ethiopia from falling to the Italians.

The Arabs of Jerusalem closely observed this ally of Britain — now an exiled refugee, a living symbol of the change in the balance of world power. Mussolini, the Italian dictator, displayed much interest in the Arabs. The dream of "II Duce" was to transform the Mediterranean into an Italian sea, as it had been during the glorious days of the Roman Empire. But fulfillment of this vision was hampered by the British Navy. Mussolini therefore sought an ally against the common enemy, Britain. Italian propaganda began to present him as the "Protector of Islam." He quickly found what he was looking for in the leader of the Palestinian Arab national movement, the Mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini.

In Jerusalem, the Arabs knew that the time was right for demanding concessions from Britain. Swastikas and slogans expressing their feelings were inscribed upon the walls of the city. Against this international political background an Arab revolt broke out in Palestine.

With the bad spelling, and the accompanying backwards swastika, you could almost confuse it for a modern liberal trying to fake a hate crime .

The Arabs drew it already in July 1935:

____

‘Gates of Zion Defaced by Swastika of Arabs’.
JTA, July 18, 1935.

A Nazi swastika sign carrying the inscription ‘Heil Hitler” appeared today on the Gates of Zion in Jerusalem, opposite the tombs of the Jewish kings.
The sign was obviously painted by Arabs. Palestine police authorities are investigating the case.

Still being drawn left-pointing by Arabs sometimes these days. Possibly because it is mistaken as the same as its ancient good luck symbol predecessor which has long been known in the Middle East.

One thing I would ask is...Did SHitler start these problems back in 1933?

The Arabs, as usual, were worthless. Except for the Golden Square in Iraq, they did nothing for the Axis, and even the Golden Square coup failed. They cut and run when the going got tough.

Worthless, useless, waste of organs...Arabs have not changed their brain wiring since the time of Abraham.

They are really a highly sophisticated cesspool of violence, rape, mutilation, pillaging, destroying, stealing and spittle.

One of the most important classic supporters of the so-called “Arab Cause” was T.E. Lawrence (the famed “Lawrence of Arabia”). He, who championed the Bedouin Arabs and helped them defeat the Turks in 1918 had this to say about them:

So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people - greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are.

WHAT HS CHANGED SINCE 1918? Nothing.

But when a Palestinian protests that his family had nothing to do with the Holocaust and should not lose their homes because of it, the filmmakers allow this statement to stand without pointing out that most Arabs supported Hitler..

‘Munich’—improper art? By R. Elliot B. Gertel.

Steven Spielberg's film Munich purports to tell the story of the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes and coaches at the 1972 Munich Olympics. The vicious murderers were members of the "Black September" group (which had tried to take over Jordan as a state!), a branch of Yasser Arafat's self-styled "Palestinian Liberation Organi-zation" ("PLO"). These scenes are offered mainly in flashback and nightmare sequences. Munich offers films within films. Maybe this is because the script is the last version of the efforts of a corvee of writers to adapt George Jonas' book Vengeance. The version we have is that of Tony Kushner and Eric Roth, with a lot of Spielberg thrown in for good measure. By cinematographic standards, the film is an ef-fective and artful enterprise. It rivets most audience members to the big screen, and that is no mean achievement for a three-hour film.

Spielberg announces that the movie in "inspired" by Jonas' book, whose questionable accuracy has encouraged director and writers to outdo its fabrications....

The filmmakers muse, first of all, over who perpetuates the violence in the conflict between the Israelis and the Arab Palestinians. The latter are, according to this movie, more awkward than the Israelis at targeted attacks. The Pales-tinians attack because of "the occupation." (Nothing is said of Palestinian Arabs attacking Palestinian Jews long before the 1967 war, out of sheer hatred of the Israelis and a hope to extir-pate them. Nor is anything said about the Arab nations' efforts to destroy Israel in 1967 and then, after defeat, to demand back lands that the Israelis held for security and negotiation purposes.) The Arab terrorists in this film are motivated only by love of their homeland and resentment of occupation. They lash out in sheer desperation. They are so unschooled in plot-ting murders that they need the help of unsuspecting American athletes to get into the Olympic compound in the first place.

Their leaders are polite and cultured. Now the Israelis or Jewish Palestinians do get to point out that the Arab Palestinians are literally on shaky ground in demanding to return to a home-land they never had. But when a Palestinian protests that his family had nothing to do with the Holocaust and should not lose their homes because of it, the filmmakers allow this statement to stand without pointing out that most Arabs supported Hitler and that the Jerusalem mufti collaborated with the Nazis.

Much of Europe was re-partitioned after World War Two through an accord with the Russians. Could lands occupied and oppressed by Jordan, along with lands always populated by an indigenous Jewish population, not be apportioned as well by the United States and Britain who had suffered at the bloody (and "cultured") hands of the Nazis and their Arab sympathizers?

In truth, the most awkward position has been that of Israel, who won disputed territories in a fight for life, and could not possibly have known what to do with those lands or with the people in them who had already grown desperate under Jordanian and Egyptian persecution. The PLO was formed before Israel won those lands, in opposition to the very existence of the Jewish State. Israelis who pursued Black September killers expressed no qualms about picking off the terrorists, and statistics reported by Aaron J. Klein's new book, Striking Back, demonstrate that, Spielberg's claims notwithstanding, Israel's deterrence did reduce the frequency of terrorist attacks.

Munich does not suggest equivalence between the Black September attacks and the Israeli hit squads. The point is made that, unlike Palestinian terrorists, the Israelis took every precaution to protect in-nocent civilians, including family members of the criminals...
