PA turns Hitler’s ally into a Palestinian icon

PA turns Hitler’s ally into a Palestinian icon. The PA is sending a clear message: Its ongoing practice of rewarding and glorifying Palestinian terrorist mass murderers is neither new nor superficial.

Many countries and leaders who aligned with Adolf Hitler or maintained Nazi ties during World War II have since expressed shame and apologized. Others have tried to deny or obscure those connections. But none openly celebrates its links to Hitler or seeks to instill pride in them among its people — except the Palestinian Authority.

As Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, it is vital to remember that the PA continues to honor an Arab-Palestinian war criminal Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who allied himself with Hitler and bore responsibility for the murder of 5,000 Jewish children, along with many thousands of other civilians.

While others with Nazi ties have tried to bury the evidence, the Palestinian Authority has astonishingly chosen to showcase it. On official PA TV last year, a program highlighted Husseini’s relationship with Hitler, even airing footage and images of him alongside Hitler and other Nazi leaders as proof of his stature and importance.

After the pictures were shown, a PA official explained: “The Palestinian people appreciates its leaders and appreciates this man [Husseini] and what he gave the Palestinian cause.”

PA TV also proudly explained that Husseini had individual contacts with Hitler, who personally requested that Husseini establish a Waffen-SS army division made up of Muslims, which he did: “In Germany, he [Husseini] met with Hitler, and Hitler told him: “As long as we are in World War II, establish a [Nazi Waffen-SS] division to help us, [built] of Muslims from North Africa. We promise you to cancel the Balfour Declaration and to establish a Palestinian state, and that you will be its ruler.”

Haj Amin agreed to this. There are symbols on their shirts that this group are Muslim [Nazi] soldiers in Europe belonging to the Mufti in Europe.” [Author of Haj Amin al-Husseini Tayseer Jabara Official PA TV, Under the Mandate, June 18, 2025]

Husseini wrote in his memoirs about his agreement with Hitler: “Our fundamental condition [to Hitler] for cooperating with Germany was a free hand to eradicate every last Jew from Palestine and the Arab world.” In his Arabic broadcasts on Nazi radio during WW2, he implored the Muslim unit: “Kill the Jews wherever you find them – this pleases God, history and religion.”

Palestinian idolization of Hitler's ally This idolization by Palestinians of their Hitler ally, who supported Hitler’s plans for the extermination of Jews, comes from the very top. In February this year, Mahmoud Abbas “out of loyalty to the great figures of our people” gave direct instructions to name a community center hall after Nazi ally Haj Amin al-Husseini: "Under the auspices of [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas … [2 mayors] laid the cornerstone for the Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini Multi-Purpose Hall.

District Governor Hamayel emphasized that the laying of the cornerstone was done out of loyalty to the great figures of our people, and according to direct instructions from President [Abbas] regarding the need to commemorate the memory of the leaders..." [Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Feb. 16, 2026]

A second event in February this year, again honored Husseini. At a gathering to mark the 150th anniversary of a private Catholic school in Jerusalem, organizers displayed an image of Husseini on the screen. And this picture of Husseini was the picture that Ramallah District Governor Laila Ghannam chose to post on her Facebook page, again showing that the PA is not hiding its Palestinian Hitler connections:

Other examples of the PA’s adoration of Amin Al-Husseini, documented by Palestinian Media Watch, include:

-The PA named a school The Amin Al-Husseini Elementary School – El-Bireh . -Mahmoud Abbas honored him among Palestinian leaders:
Mahmoud Abbas: “On the anniversary of the [Fatah] Launch, we renew the promise to our blessed Martyrs… Now let us recall the pioneers: The Grand Mufti of Palestine, Haj Muhammad Amin Al-Husseini.”

Abbas’s senior adviser Mahmoud al-Habbash praised him as a “role model”: “The great Palestinian national leader, Mufti of Palestine and Head of the Arab Higher Committee Haj Amin Al-Husseini… our leaders are our role models." [Facebook page of Mahmoud al-Habbash, July 4, 2019.]

“The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, met with a number of religious leaders and figures in Lebanon and laid a wreath of flowers on the grave of Haj Amin al-Husseini.”
The implications of the PA’s unbridled glorification of Al-Husseini are far-reaching. Al-Husseini was not only a Hitler ally and war criminal, but he also led the fight against the creation of the state of Israel as violating Islam, and as cited above, supported the extermination of Jews in the name of Islam – because “this pleases God, history and religion.” It was his libel that “Al-Aqsa is in Danger” that triggered the massacres of Jews during the Mandate period and continues to be echoed today by PA leaders when they want to trigger another round of Palestinian terror.

By teaching Palestinians that revering a Hitler ally is official Palestinian Authority policy, the PA is sending a clear message: Its ongoing practice of rewarding and glorifying Palestinian terrorist mass murderers is neither new nor superficial, but deeply embedded in its concept of Palestinian nationalism and Palestinian Islam.

Overwhelming Palestinian Arab Alignment with Nazi Germany: Ideology and Collaboration in the 1930s and World War II (+ beyond)

This entry focuses on historical evidence of Palestinian Arab support for Nazi Germany, as documented in the provided sources. It aims to present a comprehensive overview while adhering to the historical record. URLs are included where available.

Overview

During the 1930s and World War II, significant segments of the Palestinian Arab population, even mainstream, public display, and their leadership expressed sympathy for Nazi Germany, driven by shared anti-Jewish sentiment and opposition to British colonial rule in Mandatory Palestine. This alignment was rooted in ideological affinity with Nazi anti-Semitism, admiration for Adolf Hitler’s regime, and strategic efforts to counter Zionism and British influence. Historical records, including contemporary newspapers, Nazi documents, scholarly works, and post-war admissions, reveal public displays, propaganda, and organizational efforts by Palestinian Arab leaders, particularly under Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, to align with Nazi Germany. While not all Palestinian Arabs supported the Nazis, and some enlisted in the British Army, the dominant sentiment among the leadership and populace leaned heavily toward the Axis powers, especially during periods of Nazi military success.

Background

The Palestinian Arab national movement, led primarily by Haj Amin al-Husseini, emerged in opposition to British mandatory rule and Zionist immigration, spurred by the Balfour Declaration of 1917. However, al-Husseini displayed and aroused anti-Jewish sentiments at least since 1920. By the 1930s, Nazi Germany’s anti-Semitic policies resonated with (the larger) segments of the Palestinian Arab population, who saw Hitler as a potential ally against Jews and the British. This period saw Nazi propaganda proliferate in Palestine, fascist-inspired organizations form, and direct appeals to Nazi Germany for support.

Legacy and Implications

The alignment with Nazi Germany shaped post-war Arab nationalism and anti-Zionist rhetoric. Figures like Shukairy, who called for Israel’s destruction in 1967 (Progress-Index, June 13, 1967), and Nakhleh, who denied the Holocaust (Dalin, 2017), perpetuated anti-Semitic narratives. The 2013 admission by PLO leader Farouk Qaddoumi of Palestinian Arab support for the Nazis underscores the historical ideological overlap with Nazi anti-Semitism, contributing to Arab-Israeli tensions (Algemeiner, December 18, 2013).
