Hamas is worse than the Nazis (missing road map to peace alert)
Israel Insider ^ | 1/28/2006 | Ariel Natan Pasko

Posted on 01/28/2006 6:39:59 PM PST by Dark Skies

Hamas just won big in "Palestine," capturing an outright majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council election (about 58%), backing up over five years of opinion surveys that "Palestinians" like their suicide bombers toasted. Or, put another way, they like killing Jews.

Yet by contrast, in March 1933, Hitler's National Socialist German Workers Party only won a plurality of the vote with 43.9% and needed a small right-wing nationalist party, the German National People's Party to form a coalition government with a slim 51.8% parliamentary majority.

More Arabs in "Palestine" voted for Hamas than Germans for the Nazis.

Think back to 1942, somewhere in Eastern Europe. The rumbling of trucks, jeeps and the shouts of frenzied soldiers has just rudely awakened some small sleepy village. Jews are roused from their beds and at gunpoint forced to march to the edge of town. First a few, five, ten, then more are hurriedly rush to the trucks, Einzatzgrupen, the murder trucks. Three, four, seven people are stuffed into the back of the truck. The pipe from the exhaust is connected to an opening in the door. Jews, mothers, fathers, children start to scream and gasp for air. The soldier driving the truck presses down on the gas pedal while in neutral, the engine screams as the fumes make their deadly way into the closed back compartment filled with innocent people condemned to death, simply for being Jewish. Ten minutes, twenty, soon its over. The soldiers open the back of the truck and order some of the remaining Jews, shivering in the cold, to collect the bodies and bring them to the large truck nearby.

Twenty-three are killed that morning, 23 holy souls extinguished like a candle blown out by a chilling winter blast.

Now, lend me your attention just a moment longer. It's now 2002, somewhere in Israel, an average afternoon, or maybe just after Shabbat. People are walking around town, some doing shopping, some meeting friends. Jews, out in their cities, just as anyone else in the world could be. Without warning, BBBOOOOMMM!!! People hear the blast from blocks away. Eyewitnesses from across the street describe seeing body parts flying in the air. People with bloodied faces, arms and backs crying out for help. Ringing, ringing, ringing in the ears of those many meters away. Those are the lucky ones, the ones who survived this attack. Soon it's heard on the news, 23 were killed and 67 injured. Later, it's reported that there is rejoicing and parties in the West Bank cities of Ramallah, Jenin, Tul-Karem, and across the Gaza Strip. This was the fourth attack in as many days. The day before, a bus blew up on the highway killing 11 and injuring 19, before that, a disco with 6 teenagers murdered and 47 deliberately injured. Suicide Bombers, Homicide Bombers, Genocide Bombers, whatever you call them, the result is the same, innocent people condemned to death, simply for being Jewish.

23 holy souls extinguished like a candle blown out by a chilling winter blast.

Nazis killed Jews during the Holocaust. They murdered them simply for being Jews, and they rejoiced in their barbarity. They attempted Genocide, that is, they hoped to kill all the Jews in Europe. 60 years later, Arabs in Israel are doing exactly the same thing, with exactly the same goal in mind. In fact, according to Khalil Shikaki, the director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, opinion polls show that "Palestinians" have overwhelmingly supported bombings in Israel over the last several years (from about 50-80%, recently down to the high-30's due to weariness from Israel's anti-terror campaign).

If you think that these are just extremist elements in Palestinian society, think again. According to a May 2003 Pew Global Attitudes Project opinion poll, 80% of Palestinians agreed with the statement: "The rights and needs of the Palestinian people cannot be taken care of as long as the State of Israel exists." They clearly want to destroy the Jewish state.

Unmistakably, the Palestinian Authority elections prove what survey research has been telling us for quite a while, the "Palestinians" want to kill Jews. It's not just a few extremists, but a solid majority of the Arabs of Judea, Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza. In fact many more Arabs today than Germans (of the 1930's) support the wholesale murder of Jews.

And the "Palestinians" know what Hamas wants, Hamas's charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

Immediately after the election victory, the current Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, promised to "complete the liberation of other parts of Palestine." He did not specify which territories he was referring to or how he would go about it.

Syrian-based Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal told a news conference in Damascus after the election victory, that they are ready to merge all the armed terrorist factions into a "Palestinian" army. "We are willing to form an army like every country...an army to defend our people against aggression." The Hamas leader reasserted that Hamas would not disarm. Mashaal said that attacks on Israeli civilians would continue, "Resistance is a legitimate right that we will practice and protect. Our presence in the legislature will strengthen the resistance." Nevertheless, Mashaal insisted, "We are realistic and we know things are done gradually...Being against the occupation does not mean that I can eliminate Israel in mere seconds."

Mashaal lashed out at those who have criticized Hamas' victory. "The world should respect the results of democracy," Mashaal said. If you want to punish the Palestinian people for practicing democracy then the Americans should be punished for choosing President Bush."

Clearly, Mashaal understands that Hamas terrorism against Israel represents the will of the "Palestinian people".

Nothing has changed, since the former Hamas leader, Abdel Aziz Rantisi said, "We will continue with our holy war and resistance until every last criminal Zionist is evicted from this land. By G-D we will not leave one Jew alive in Palestine. We will fight them with all the strength we have. This is our land, not the Jews."

Rantisi, then speaking at his first public appearance after the end of a three-day official mourning period for Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, said, "Bush is an enemy of God, an enemy of Islam, an enemy of Muslims. America has announced a war against Allah, Sharon has announced a war against Allah. Allah announces a war against America, Bush and Sharon."

Some in the West, might have forgotten the former Hamas "spiritual leader" Yassin, but "Palestinians" remember. Yassin, who in the weeks and months before Israel's assassination of him in March 2004, had increasingly begun speaking publicly about the "Global Jihad" in Bin Laden and al-Qaeda type terms. This wasn't new to Yassin, who back in February 2002 (before the war in Iraq) called on the international Islamic community to combat "American influence" on their countries via "Jihad".

Rantisi following in Yassin's footsteps, before his own assassination by Israel, said, "The war of God goes on against them and I see the beginning of victory starting from here in Palestine in the hands of the Izzedin al-Kassam Brigades (Hamas's military wing) and the Hamas movement."

So, Hamas isn't just after Jews, but sees itself as part of the Global Jihad Network too.

Under pressure from the success of Israel's Targeted Killing Program, and with their recent PA election campaign, Hamas has been less outspoken recently, but just as active in killing Jews and others.

Hitler and the Nazi propaganda machine used the "big lie", they found out people would just as easily accept outrageous untruths as small ones. These lessons well learned by Palestinian leaders and their fellow travelers in Europe and America, are being foisted on the world as a smokescreen to cover up their own evil intentions. While innocent Jews are being mercilessly murdered and maimed in Israel, Jews around the world, including in the United States are being simultaneously called "Nazis" and told "Hitler should have finished the job." Islamic-led, pro-Palestinian Anti-Semitism is sweeping the globe.

The explosion of Judeo-pathic hatred and Anti-Semitic behavior on American college campuses, formerly, bastions of liberalism and tolerance, is appalling. But much worse than simply intolerant behavior, are the identification with and the promotion of true Nazism, the Palestinian cause. It's sad to see the so-called cream of America, its educated elite, descending into the fires of hell. The Palestinians, well what can you say for them, they idolized Sheikh Haj Al-Husseini in the 1930's and 1940's. A leader who spent the war years with Hitler, helping organize Muslim SS troops in Bosnia and elsewhere. Al-Husseini helped Hitler plan "The Final Solution" for Jews living in Mandatory Palestine.

There's a direct line from Al-Husseini in the 1930's, through Arafat in the 70's, 80's and 90's, to Hamas today.

For a long time now we've been hearing the mind-numbing mantra of the left, "There is no military solution to the conflict," with it's - let's throw our hands up and surrender already - corollary, "There is only a political solution." But one must understand, there can only be a political solution to a conflict, if the parties involved want to accept a political solution. If one side insists on total and absolute victory, even to the point of exterminating its enemy, and the other side pursues a political solution, then you have a proscription for disaster in the making.

You can throw water on a normal fire to put it out, but throw water on an electrical fire and all you do is spread the area of danger. Not only is there danger from the fire, but now from electrocution as well. Such one-sided behavior on the part of Israeli leaders, attempting to achieve "peace" with a society that wants to exterminate it, has spread the danger, as well.

There are prognosticators in Israel already trying to wiggle out of reality, telling Israelis that maybe Hamas will become pragmatic, maybe Israel will be able to negotiate with them in the end. There were Jewish leaders in Europe before the Holocaust downplaying the dangers of Hitler and the Nazis, too.

Then, there are the Olmert types, who are saying that that since Israel won't be able to negotiate with a Hamas-led PA, continuing the unilateral expulsion of Jews from Judea and Samaria serves Israel's security needs and will preserve Israel as a Democratic and Jewish state. And, there has already been talk of the Israeli government continuing to remit customs taxes to the Palestinian Authority, in effect, financing Hamas' terrorist activities.

But as far as I can tell, ethnic cleansing of Jews from parts of their ancient homeland negates democracy in Israel, the Jewish character of its state, and helps Hamas achieve its goal. It rewards Hamas' campaign of terror and war. Financing terrorism during the "War on Terror" smacks of international crime. Add to that, those willing to negotiate with Hamas and you end up with a lot of politicians running in the upcoming Israeli elections, who are supporting a terrorist group, Hamas, worse than the Nazis.

How ironic, then, that Israel and the world just observed the first UN-sponsored International Holocaust Memorial Day the day that "Palestine" officially became Hamastan, a terror regime bent on Israel's destruction.

No wonder the Jews still want to hold out for peace and reconciliation. Hamas leaders speak in such diplomatic an nuanced language it is hard to figure out what they really mean.

Behind all the flowery language and 60 suicide bombers there might be a hidden agenda.

Some harm might be intended for the Jews. Its hard to decipher from Hamas dialogue and actions. - tom

What the President and Secretary of State say for palestinian consumption has very little to do with the truth of their understanding of the situation on the groun in Israel.

Please don't misunderestimate this administration.

Please don't misunderestimate this administration.

I suggest that their 1/2 billion payment to the PA three years ago to further the prospects of democracy is evidence of their naivete.

Unless there is a hidden agenda, the administration is guilty of being too optimistic. I love em...but islam is evil and they are just beginning to get it.

Here is one of the by laws of Hamas.
Muslims will fight Infidels on Infidel soil but when an Infidel is on Muslim soil it is a cranked up fight to the death.

Article Eleven: The Islamic Resistance Movement(HAMAS) believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king or president, nor all the kings and presidents, neither any organization nor all of them, be they Palestinian or Arab, possess the right to do that.

Palestine is an Islamic Waqf land consecrated for Moslem generations until Judgement Day. This being so, who could claim to have the right to represent Moslem generations till Judgement Day?

This is the law governing the land of Palestine in the Islamic Sharia (law) and the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force, because during the times of (Islamic) conquests, the Moslems consecrated these lands to Moslem generations till the Day of Judgement.

and the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force

That means you Spain. The Muslims are in your country now and they aren't leaving. -Tom

Doh! Lost again...where is my road map to peace! Pull over and ask those friendly palestinians how to get there.

Their "roadmap" explained:

The Arab/Muslim Nazi Connection

THE AGENDA OF ISLAM - A WAR BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS

WHAT THE QURAN TEACHES!


"Mainstream" Islamic site "Islam Q+A": Can the Muslims live in peace in Palestine? (KILL THE JEWS!)

OFFENSIVE WAR FOR JIHAD (EXPLAINED BY MUSLIMS)

...the importance, reward and requirement for the Muslims to perform Jihaad Fi Sabeel Lillah i.e. physical struggle:

...the saying and actions of Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) show that Jihaad definitely is to start (offensive) fighting the kuffar to make the Words of Allah the highest and to propagate (da’wa) the call of Islam. Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

"I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that, ‘there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger’ and they establish the prayer and the zakat. And if they do this, then from me is protected their blood and their wealth except by the right granted by Allah."

As for his (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) actions, they are full of actions that show Jihaad is to start the fighting. So when he went out to Badr to take the caravan belonging to the Quraysh, this was going out to fight, this is offensive – as Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) initiated the action before the Quraysh. Likewise, when Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) invaded Hawazin in the battle of Hunayn, when he (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) seiged Ta’if and the battle of Mutah to fight the Romans and the Battle of Tabuk – all of these are evidences to show that Jihaad is to start fighting kuffar (offensive). This should clarify the erroneous view that in origin Jihaad is defensive...

I can't understand why anyone would possibly be surprised by the results of the elections. The "palastinian society" has at its core, a mindless hatred of Israel and Jews. Looks at what the PA government uses for school books in their schools. The simply fact is that the leaders of the "arab nations" need to keep their peons from actually looking at where their problems really come from, and as Orwell postulated with his "2 minutes of hate," as long as you can get a common enemy, you can lead the masses, even while their being enslaved and abused, and the masses will thank the evil, abusive leaders.

The arabs teach their children from a very young age that Jews are evil, and they've stolen their land. That islam says that Jews must be killed.

I'm just amazed that anyone's even the slightest bit surprised by the election results.

The Hamas election paved a no exit, one-way, high speed highway toward a wider and all inclusiive war in the region that will change the geopolitical face of the Middle East and Southwest Asia for centuries. This conflagration has been in preparation since the end of WW I and the British drawing of artificial boundries in 1922. The inevitable may be delayed by futile attempts at diplomacy, but the dogs of war are let loose.

Sickening...this whole thing. I fear now there will be a ratioanlized holocaust not only by the Hamas but actually agreed upon by the UN...

just my opinion but from what I've been reading on this site the last few months I'd be very surprised if there is a true peace without serious bloodshed.

Looks like the twenty-first century will not have it's swords beaten to plowshares anytime soon. Then again maybe the palis will just kill each other and do everyone a favour...the Arabs consider them idiotic tools anyway. "martyrs"??? huh!

Israel has it's own new generation of pacifists and a worldwide jewish population that is often far left, weak and appeasers.

They have all been shown to be the fools that most of us have seen for years.

Hopefully they will now face reality, and realize that Begin, Meir et.al. were not neanderthals, but instead were the best chance Israel ever had to survive.

The real test of this new development is how the Israeli citizens respond. Do they have what the fortitude their parents had?

* Translated from:-"Oriente Modemo," 1941, pp. 552-553; broadcast over the 'Iraqi and Axis radios.

In the name of Merciful and Almighty God.

I invite all my Moslem brothers throughout the whole world to join in the Holy War for God, for the defense of Islam and her lands against her enemy. O Faithful, obey and respond to my call.

O Moslems!

Proud 'Iraq has placed herself in the vanguard of this Holy Struggle, and has thrown herself against the strongest enemy of Islam certain that God will grant her victory.

The English have tried to seize this Arab-Moslem land, but she has risen, full of  dignity and pride to defend her safety, to fight for her honor and to safeguard her integrity. 'Iraq fights the tyranny which has always had as its aim the destruction of Islam in every land. It is the duty of all Moslems to aid 'Iraq in her struggle and to seek every means to fight the enemy, the traditional traitor in every age and every situation.

Whoever knows the history of the East has everywhere seen the hand of the English working to destroy the Ottoman Empire and to divide the Arab countries. British politics toward the Arab people is masked under a veil of Hypocrisy. The minute she sees her chance, England squeezes the prostrate country in her Imperialist grasp, adding futile justifications. More here

Gamal Abdal Nasser (1918-1970): The author Goodrick-Clarke says Nasser was "well disposed" towards the Nazis

Most people assumes that when Nazi's fled Europe after the war most of them went to Latin America, where the ruling elite's - such as the Peron's in Argentina - had always been sympathetic to Nazi ideology. Many did, but a sizable number of others find work in Egypt, notably under the regime of Gamal Abdal Nasser (1918-1970), an Egyptian army officer and political leader, who was the first president of the republic of Egypt (1956-70). In 1952 he led the coup that deposed King Farouk (another Nazi sympathizer), and later became premier (1954), and president (1956). Hitler had enjoyed quite a following among the nationalist youth of Egypt during the war, after Nassiri Nasser, the brother of Gamal had published an Arab edition of Mein Kampf in 1939, describing its author as the "strongest man of Europe".

The Nazi-Arab connection started by the Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, continued after the war according to Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke writing in Hitler's Priestess: Savitri Devi, the Hindu-Aryan myth, and Neo-Nazism (New York University Press, New York, USA, 1998). The Middle East had emerged as a haven for Nazis fleeing Europe in the 1950s, which had its roots in the anti-British and pro-Nazi attitudes of Vichy Syria, Rashid Ali in Iraq, King Farouk of Egypt and the Mufti of Jerusalem.

Thus, Egypt became like Argentina, a safe-haven for Nazi's fleeing justice and retribution from the Allies in Europe. Goodrick-Clarke states that King Farouk had been "impressed" by his garage mechanics recruited from Afrika Korps POWs, and:

"Wondered what he might achieve with officers from elite units of the Gestapo and SS who had fought so hard against the hated British" (p174).

Thus, a number of "nazi experts" who had escaped the Allied dragnet were hired by the King as military, financial and technical advisers. Although King Farouk was ousted in a military coup in January 1952, the Generals of the Egyptian armed forces were themselves "great admirers" of the Nazi's and "availed themselves of further large-scale imports of ex-Nazi expertise". They were to be helped by the former Luftwaffe ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the ex-SS commando Otto Skorzeny (1908-1975) and Eugen Dollman in recruiting "large numbers" of former Nazi fugitives from Argentina for key posts in the new republican regime in Egypt.

It is Skorzeny who is generally credited with setting up the famous escape network to help Nazi war criminals escape Europe after the war, known as the ODESSA network. Thousands of Nazi war criminals benefited from his escape network (helped by the Vatican) and fled to Arab countries and Latin America between 1949 and 1952. The ODESSA network also had close links with the CIA - Skorzeny himself worked with the new West German intelligence service set up under CIA auspices by the former wartime German intelligence chief, Reinhard Gehlen. In fact, it was the leading CIA officer Allen Dulles who invited this SS war criminal to help reorganize the security forces of the new Egyptian Republic.

Apparently, Skorzeny was approached by Mossad while living in Spain, in 1963, and agreed to provide information on Germans working in Egypt - especially rocket scientists. Mossad sent men who were said to have posed as 'NATO officials'. One possible explanation for the Nazi's co-operation may be that the CIA's James Jesus Angleton was responsible for links to other Western agencies, and had good relations with Israel and Mossad. Apparently, the CIA chief Allen Dulles asked Gehlen to inject some "life and expertise" into the Egyptian secret service:

"Some former SS and Gestapo officers had been supplied, with a first batch of about 100 being enlisted by Otto Skorzeny in 1953" (Ian Black and Benny Morris, Israel's Secret Wars, p161)

The first victims may have been Egyptian Jews and Communists, tortured by Gestapo experts.  But the Nazi network spread through the Arab world (for instance Alois Brunner in Damascus), and later probably played a part in the pogroms and massacres against the Left in Iraq following the CIA (and Nasser) - backed coup there in 1963.

As early as January 1952, the ODESSA network was in contact with "influential" Egyptian army officers and the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, who had lived in Egypt since the fall of Nazi Germany. According to the Israeli intelligence agency MOSSAD and French intelligence files, numerous former SS officers held key positions in the secret service and political police in Egypt. These included:

  • Joachim Däumling, former Gestapo chief in Düsseldorf, and later engaged in SS operations in Croatia. He was employed to set up the Egyptian secret service along the lines of the SS Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Himmler's Reich Security Main Office); he was helped by the former Gestapo chief of Warsaw who organised the security police.
  • SS Major Eugen Eichberger, battalion-commander in the Dirlewanger brigade;
  • SS Colonel Leopold Gleim, chief of the Gestapo department for Jewish affairs in Poland;
  • SS Lieutenant Colonel Bernhard Bender, Gestapo official in Poland the USSR, whose knowledge of Yiddish enabled him to penetrate Jewish underground organisations;
  • SS General Heinrich Selimann, Gestapo chief in Ulm;
  • SS Major Schmalstich, Gestapo liaison officer to French collaborationists and organizer of Jewish transports from Paris to Auschwitz;
  • SS Major Seipal, Gestapo official in Paris;
  • SS General Alois Moser, a war criminal who was involved in the extermination of the Soviet Jews in the Ukraine;
  • SS officer Johannes von Leers (1902-1963), who had been responsible for anti-Semitic campaigns at Goebbels' propaganda ministry;
  • SS officer, Alois Brunner, who had held senior position in Adolph Eichmann's "Jewish Department", and is now believed to be living under the protection of the Syrian secret police in Damascus;
  • SS Major Walter Bollman, Nazi espionage chief in Britain before the war, and also involved in crimes against humanity and genocide against the Jews of the Ukraine;
  • SS official Louis Heiden, who was transferred to the Egyptian press office during the war;
  • Franz Bartel, and "old fighter" in the early days of the NSDAP in Germany, and Gestapo officer;
  • Walter Birgal, an SS officer from Leipzig;
  • Erich Bunz, a former SA major and expert in the "Jewish Question";
  • Albert Thielemann, a regional SS chief in Bohemia;
  • SS Captain Wilhelm Böckler, a war criminal who had precipitated in the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto;
  • Wehrmacht General Wilhelm Fahrmbacher, who took over the central planning staff in Cairo . . . .

Added to this were a number of former Nazi officials and sixty military experts, mostly former Waffen-SS men, who assisted in the training of the Egyptian army. Several of them were also linked in 1958 with the then Algerian government-in-exile. At least 200 German and Austrian scientists and other personnel were deployed in the new aircraft and missile centre at Helwan, where new staff physician was Dr. Hanns Eisele, SS Captain and medical torturer in the death camp at Buchenwald. Goodrick-Clarke says that President Gamal Abdel Nasser was "well disposed" towards the Nazis, all the more because they wished to take part in the destruction of Israel. The presence of so many Nazi's in Egypt under the Nasser regime was exposed in the world press in October 1962, and precipitated a crisis in the Israeli government (who had ordered MOSSAD to make try and kill several of the Nazi's), and embarrassment in West Germany, over the exposure of postwar Nazi collaboration with the Nasser regime.

Barbarians can't be "civilized" by democratic means. The so-called Palestinians aren't "peace loving like me and you", as GWB likes to claim. That is not to say that Muslims can't be civilized. They certainly are in Turkey for instance. But the Palestinians, who are pretty much all terrorists, are a different breed.
