  What happened to Jewish Holy Sites and places of worship in lands controlled by the Arabs? On May 28, 1948 the Arab Legion completed the capture of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, the site of numerous ancient synagogues and the Western Wall of the Temple, destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 AD. These were and remain the holiest sites in the Jewish religion.After the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem was captured, the destruction, desecration and systematic looting of Jewish sites began and continued. 57 ancient synagogues (the oldest dated to the 13th century), libraries...

Socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani refused to sign onto a pair of resolutions recognizing Israel and the holocaust — as the state lawmaker vies to lead a city with the largest concentration of Jewish people outside Israel. Mamdani skipped out on one resolution earlier this week that celebrated the Jewish state on its 77th anniversary. Last year, he declined to sign onto another resolution that denounced the holocaust. Thousands of resolutions are introduced each year and are almost always non-controversial signs of respect to groups or countries. Last month, the assembly honored Fort Drum with a measure when members of...

Dr. R. Mark Musser shows the result of a non-biblical worldview that was inherent within National Socialism wherein elements of radical environmentalism, veganism, green sustainability, euthanasia, eugenics, transhumanism, and Social Darwinian biology and ecology all played a very surprising role in what otherwise became known as the Holocaust.

Temple University has suspended a second student involved in the “F— the Jews” sign at a Philadelphia bar owned by Dave Portnoy, according to a Wednesday statement from the university. The second student’s name has not been released. In a post on X, Portnoy referenced two people involved in ordering the “F— the Jews” sign, including Temple student Mo Khan — who had posted a video of the sign to social media — and a friend. On a call with the two, Portnoy said both “cried their eyes out” and “accepted responsibility for their hateful actions.” But Khan later said...

In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender in May 1945, the Hoover Institution Library & Archives has released more than 800 digitized audio recordings and transcripts of conversations relating to 20th century conflict – most notably, undercover conversations with high-ranking Nazis who had fled to South America.

The Trump administration on Tuesday fired former second gentleman Doug Emhoff from the board that oversees the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, as the president aims to install more “steadfast” Israel supporters at the institution. Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, was among several Biden administration appointments to the board removed by President Trump. “Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council,” Emhoff said in a statement posted on X. “Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. To turn one of the worst atrocities...

Poland has agreed to return to Greece 76 Greek Jewish artifacts to be displayed in the Jewish Museum of Greece in Athens, the Greek Culture Ministry has announced. The ministry had filed a formal request for the repatriation of the historical artifacts before Lina Mendoni, the Greek Minister of Culture who, while attending the Informal Council of EU Culture Ministers, met with her Polish counterpart Hanna Wroblewska in Warsaw to finalize the deal. The artifacts, currently housed at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, Poland were discovered in Lower Silesia and hold deep historical and emotional significance for Greece’s Jewish...

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1948 Ex-Mufti, Criminal Ally State Dept. Conceals Promised White Paper Book; Uses Whitewash Instead By OBSERVER On Mar. 19, 1942, the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem spoke to the Arab world by Rome radio and said: “If, God forbid, America and her allies are victorious in this war . . . then the world will become hell, God forbid. But Allah is too just and merciful to grant such murderous violators any victory.” After a long struggle and supreme sacrifices, the “murderous violators” became victors. They entered Germany while the ex-Mufti was still there with the bags of gold...

In a rare 1943 telegram found in the archives of Israel’s National Library (reported by the Israel’s National Library blog Hasafranim), Heinrich Himmler – Reichsfuhrer-SS, head of the Gestapo and the Waffen-SS, Nazi Minister of the Interior from 1943 to 1945 and organizer of the mass murder of Jews in the Third Reich – writes the Jerusalem Grand Mufi Haj Amin al-Husseini: “To the Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini, Advertisement “The great National-Socialist movement of Great Germany has, from its inception, carried the flag of the struggle against world Jewry. “For this reason, it has closely monitored the struggle of the...

Palestinian Authority (PA) Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah on Tuesday took part in the Seventh International Bayt al-Maqdis Islamic Conference in Ramallah, Samaria, in which he aired libel against Israel apparently on the background of its counter-terror actions. In his speech, he called on the international community to get involved in order to "defend" the Arab residents of Jerusalem who are dealing with "illegal" activities from Israel "that oppose international law and human rights." Hamdallah's call to take action against Israel urged international pressure so as to end the "occupation" and establish an independent Palestinian state along the 1949 Armistice lines,...

Yes, the Mufti and Hitler shared the same goal. When Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of the Palestinian Grand Mufti’s role in the destruction of Europe’s Jews, he exaggerated the Mufti’s role but not the Mufti’s sentiments, nor his agreement with Hitler’s evil intentions, or his promise to eliminate the Jews of the Arab world with German help. He spoke of these sentiments to Hitler when they met in Berlin on November 28, 1941. Lost in the discussion about how much the Mufti influenced Hitler is the inescapable fact that the Mufti and the Führer shared the same goal, the destruction of...

A veteran Israeli journalist recalled on Friday that research he conducted in 1968 revealed a plan by Jerusalem’s World War II -era grand mufti to build a crematorium in Samaria, Israeli daily Israel Hayom reported. As part of his research on Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini’s actions in 1942, when the Jewish community in then-British Mandate Palestine was preparing for the possibility of a Nazi invasion, Haviv Kanaan met with Faiz Bay Idrisi, a senior Arab officer in the Mandate Police. According to Israel Hayom, Idrisi told Kanaan — whose findings were the basis for an article that appeared in...

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is crazy like a fox. Netanyahu’s assertion on Tuesday before the World Zionist Congress that the founder of the Palestinian people, Haj Amin al-Husseini, convinced Adolf Hitler to eradicate rather than expel the Jews of Europe was an overstatement of Husseini’s role. No, the Holocaust was not Husseini’s idea. But he was a partner in perpetrating and promoting it. He also made it inevitable. As I detailed in my book The Israeli Solution: A One-State Plan for Peace in the Middle East, during the course of Husseini’s meeting with Hitler in Berlin in November 1941, Hitler...

Due to his “gaffe,” every Western media outlet reported on Husseini’s actions. Some even mentioned that in his PhD dissertation, current Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said the Holocaust was both a myth and a joint Zionist-Nazi project. For most Westerners, this is the first they’ve heard of the fact that the Palestinian’s George Washington was a Nazi war criminal. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is crazy like a fox. Netanyahu’s assertion on Tuesday before the World Zionist Congress that the founder of the Palestinian people, Haj Amin al-Husseini, convinced Adolf Hitler to eradicate rather than expel the Jews of Europe was...

Netanyahu was right, and it is good to see that he is not backing down. He called the criticism of his remarks “absurd,” which it is: he’s now a Holocaust denier because he noted the Mufti of Jerusalem’s role in the Holocaust? Prof. Moshe Zimmermann teaches at Hebrew University, but clearly he can’t think straight. Netanyahu also said: “Hitler was responsible for the Final Solution to exterminate six million Jews; he made the decision. It is equally absurd to ignore the role played by the mufti, Haj Amin al -Husseini, a war criminal, for encouraging and urging Hitler.”Exactly. Here at...

Social media was abuzz on Wednesday following claims made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Adolf Hitler initially had no intention of massacring European Jewry. In a speech to delegates at the 37th World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem on Tuesday, the premier claimed that Hitler's original intentions were solely to expel the Jews. According to Netanyahu, the Fuhrer changed his mind at the insistence of the Palestinian Arab leader at the time, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who argued that the expulsion of the Jews would result in their arrival en masse to Palestine, which at the time was under British Mandatory...

Philadelphia’s transit system has been ordered to accept provocative ads that include a 1941 photograph of Adolf Hitler with a former Arab leader after a federal judge ruled in favour of a pro-Israel group’s free-speech lawsuit. The proposed bus ads carry a tagline saying: “Jew Hatred: It’s in the Quran”. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority believes the ads violate “minimal civility standards” and will consider an appeal. The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported on Wednesday’s ruling by US district judge Mitchell Goldberg. The ad in question features a photograph of a 1941 meeting between Adolf Hitler and Haj Amin al-Husseini, described...

Nothing has changed. The call to massacre Jews and bloodthirsty Arab-Muslim masses cheer.____ (((noa tishby))) @noatishby Jan 13, 2024: Today, Palestinian activist Mohammed El-Kurd (@m7mdkurd) spoke at an anti-Israel rally and said, “we must normalize massacres as the status quo.” He’d like to see more massacres of Jews. He spoke at @Harvard, @Princeton, @MIT, @DukeU?, and many other colleges. #CancelElKurd. "Demand for an international arrest warrant against a pro-Palestinian activist."...

Margaret Brennan, moderator of CBS News' "Face the Nation" asked Ron DeSantis: "Arabs are Semites too" Does CBS' (Face The Nation) Margaret Brennan's know that Hitler's Arab Palestine leader al-Husseini the Mufti was also a Semite?

Pierre Van Paassen, "A Marginal Note," The Sentinel, 15 June 1933: ...Naziism is spreading . Under its own name and under other names it is invading countries...bordering on Germany. Action Francaise, the extremist nationalist movement... And how about Jerusalem... where Hitlerism is openly admitted in the nationalist Arab press... I was in Brentanos bookstore the other day in Paris. While waiting for the Order Department I saw ten copies of the French translation of Hitlers Mein Kampf being wrapped up with five copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and when I casually glanced at the address...
