Note: Pay close attention to al-Husseini’s Nazi salute to Adolf Hitler.
In November 1941, a significant yet often overlooked meeting occurred between Adolf Hitler and Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Photographs from this encounter depict al-Husseini performing the Nazi salute, symbolizing his alignment with Nazi ideology. > www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/recruited.html
Al-Husseini’s collaboration with Nazi Germany extended beyond mere symbolism. He relocated to Berlin during World War II, where he met with high-ranking officials, including Heinrich Himmler and Joachim von Ribbentrop, to coordinate policies concerning the Middle East. His influence reached prominent Arab leaders; notably, Yasser Arafat, the founder of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), was mentored by al-Husseini. Arafat’s formative years were marked by the Mufti’s ideology, which played a role in shaping his leadership and strategies. jewishvirtuallibrary.org
The legacy of al-Husseini’s alliance with Nazi Germany serves as a critical reminder of the historical intersections between extremist ideologies and Middle Eastern politics. Understanding this history is essential for comprehending the complexities of current geopolitical dynamics in the region.
It should also be noted that Saddam Hussein was raised in the house of his uncle Khayrallah Tulfah, who was a leader in the Mufti’s pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in May 1941.
