Interceptions

 

Points of inflection can be considered only after the fact, but moment in awareness can be realization of inflection point. The first city Çatalhöyük in Anatolia between 7500 BCE and 4500 BCE, transition from just nomadic—Pastoral life to where introduction of Agriculture, where a chain of Cities Mesopotamia like  Eridu, Uruk, and Ur, development come out the need for specialized knowledge, because Agriculture from the need when plantation, harvest, need of crops selection and irrigation.

The information need for transmission of knowledge a system was created for transfer—written the cuneiform demanding a formal transmission education, but the dark side of the cities was the ones who control the information become the power hence the elites and controlling the information to maintained need created the outside. Our need of control and our fear of the unknown elites created the outsider—the other.

Their believing was manipulated to create the fear of outside. When Christianity become the state religion become organized outsider, while in the records of Elephantine Island the Jewish temple come into place around the 6 BCE at the time of rain of Menashe then Juda King. The temple was destroyed in 410 BCE at the hands of the priests of the Egyptian god, Khnum. Although rebuilt, the temple was eventually abandoned sometime after 400 BCE.

A second Jewish Temple in Egypt was built at Leontopolis 170 BCE  and destroy 73 CE by the Romans out fear will be another Jewish revolt, while the treasure of the second temple when to build the Coliseum in Rome and Temple in Lepntopolis was out fear his destruction.

Christianity created the outsider and the first infidels was the Jews with bloody consequences—not just pogroms, but the introduction by the Roman Christian church of Genocide during the crusade. Luther codifies and rationalized not only his Antisemitism, but call justification of Genocide in his Book On the Jews in his lies 1543, while the introduction of Race Genocide created by the cousin of Darwin—Galton, his pseudoscience defined the race immigration laws in US, while the white supremacy was used by white in US to maintain economic success specialise in Southern states—mixed with Anti-Semitism of Russia since moment of Catherine take the Pale from Sweden the used of Christianity as instrument of power culminated with a secular Anti-Semitism, where race culminated with Holocaust. For Russia the Czar propaganda source material for the forgery consisted jointly of Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, 1864  a political satire by Maurice Joly and a chapter from Biarritz, an 1868 novel by the antisemitic German novelist Hermann Goedsche, which had been translated into Russian in 1872. The impact included revolted against elites in the west created the outsider. The left need and right to make change need authoritarian—to force change, they need outsider following since the policy from Assyrian and Babylon Empires to move population to exert control of territory denied any identity of the Jews, creating another form of Antisemitism.

Islam itself created anti-Jews view in early because Jews did not accepted the Messianic and Prophesy of Mohammad, realization of Islam the world is big and behind their control and conquest, while try, Christianity fought back created a second class citizen reserved for the monotheism religion, by still force conversions and used humiliation—an example of story of Samaritans reduce to closed 15,000 today.

But the Anti-Jews view did not end as just a religion persecution, but Mohammed Amin al-Husseini actively participated in the name of Islam the Genocide of Jews in Europe while for him others was to stop any Jews in Ancestral Lands (claim or not claims), he was paid by the National Socialist Regime 50,000 Reich marks a month) German field marshal was making 25,000 marks a year), (the equivalent today of $12,000,000 a year).

Husseini eventually met with Hitler and Ribbentrop in 1941, he assured Hitler that: The Arabs were Germany's natural friends because they had the same enemies... namely the English, the Jews, and the Communist.

Hitler was pleased with him, considering him: the principal actor in the Middle East" and an Aryan because of al-Hussaini's fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes.

Heinrich Wolff, inform Berlin reporting al-Husseini's that Palestinian Muslims were enthusiastic about the new regime and looked forward to the spread of fascism throughout the region.

Wolff met al-Husseini and many sheikhs again, a month later, at Nabi Musa. They expressed their approval of the anti-Jewish boycott in Germany and asked Wolff not to send any Jews to Palestine.

Al-Husseini arrived in Rome on 10 October 1941. He outlined his proposals before Ubaldo Alberto Mellini Ponce de León, his support of the Axis condition:

recognize in principle the unity, independence, and sovereignty, of an Arab state, including Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Transjordan.

Al-Husseini offered support in the war against Britain and stated his willingness to discuss the issues of: he Holy Places, Lebanon, the Suez Canal, and Aqaba.

The Italian foreign ministry approved al-Husseini's proposal, recommended giving him a grant of one million lire, and referred him to Benito Mussolini, who met al-Husseini on 27 October. According to al-Husseini's account, it was an amicable meeting in which Mussolini expressed his hostility to the Jews and Zionism.

In the summer of 1940 and again in February 1941, al-Husseini submitted to the Nazi German Government a draft declaration of German-Arab cooperation containing a clause:

Germany and Italy recognize the right of the Arab countries to solve the question of the Jewish elements, which exist in Palestine and in the other Arab countries, as required by the national and ethnic (völkisch) interests of the Arabs, and as the Jewish question was solved in Germany and Italy.

Al-Husseini affirming declaration of the Axis support for the Arabs on 3 November 1941, the declaration, slightly amended by the Italian foreign ministry, received the formal approval of Mussolini and was forwarded to the German embassy in Rome. On 6 November, al-Husseini arrived in Berlin, where he discussed the text of his declaration with Ernst von Weizsäcker and other German official were the Axis powers declared their readiness to approve the elimination of the Jewish National Home in Palestine.

On 20 November, al-Husseini met the German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and was officially received by Adolf Hitler on 28 November.

Hitler, recalling Husseini, remarked that:

He has more than one Aryan among his ancestors and one who may be descended from the best Roman stock.

Al-Husseini asked Adolf Hitler for a public declaration: recognized and sympathized with the Arab struggles for independence and liberation, and that would support the elimination of a national Jewish homeland.

Hitler established policy:

Germany has resolved, step by step, to ask one European nation after the other to solve its Jewish problem, and at the proper time, direct a similar appeal to non-European nations as well. When Germany had defeated Russia and broken through the Caucasus into the Middle East, it would have no further imperial goals of its own and would support Arab liberation... Germany's objective would then be solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection of British power short, Jews were not simply to be driven out of the German sphere but would be hunted down and destroyed even beyond it.

In his memoirs al-Husseini recalled that Heinrich Himmler, in the summer of 1943, while confiding some German war secrets, inveighed against Jewish war guilt, and revealed the ongoing extermination—abadna) of the Jews.

Gilbert Achcar, referring to this meeting with Himmler, observes:

The Mufti was well aware that the European Jews were being wiped out; he never claimed the contrary. Nor, unlike some of his present-day admirers, did he play the ignoble, perverse, and stupid game of Holocaust denial... . His amour-propre would not allow him to justify himself to the Jews... .gloating that the Jews had paid a much higher price than the Germans... he cites... : "Their losses in the Second World War represent more than thirty percent of the total number of their people ...". Statements like this, from a man who was well placed to know what the Nazis had done ... constitute a powerful argument against Holocaust deniers. Husseini reports that Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler ... told him in summer 1943 that the Germans had "already exterminated more than three million" Jews: "I was astonished by this figure, as I had known nothing about the matter until then." ... Thus. in 1943, Husseini knew about the genocide... .

Al-Husseini's memoir then continues:

Himmler asked me on the occasion: How do you propose to settle the Jewish question in your country? I replied: All we want from them is that they return to their countries of origin. He (Himmler) replied: "We shall never authorize their return to Germany.

Wolfgang G. Schwanitz doubts the sincerity of his surprise since, he argues, Husseini had publicly declared that Muslims should follow the example Germans set for a definitive solution to the Jewish problem.

Subsequently, al-Husseini declared in November 1943:

 

It is the duty of Muhammadans [Muslims] in general and Arabs in particular to ... drive all Jews from Arab and Muhammadan countries... . Germany is also struggling against the common foe who oppressed Arabs and Muhammadans in their different countries. It has very clearly recognized the Jews for what they are and resolved to find a definitive solution for the Jewish danger that will eliminate the scourge that Jews represent in the world.

At the Nuremberg trials, Dieter Wisliceny, stated that al-Husseini had actively encouraged the extermination of European Jews, and that al-Husseini had a meeting with Eichmann at his office, during which Eichmann gave him a view of the current state of the Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe" by the Third Reich.

Al-Husseini collaborated with the Germans in numerous sabotage and commando operations in Iraq, Transjordan, and Palestine, and repeatedly urged the Germans to bomb Tel Aviv and Jerusalem:

in order to injure Palestinian Jewry and for propaganda purposes in the Arab world as his Nazi interlocutors put it. The proposals were rejected as unfeasible

Example was operation Atlas. A special commando unit of the Waffen SS was created, composed of three members of the Templer religious sect in Palestine, and two Palestinian Arabs recruited from al-Husseini's associates, Hasan Salama and Abdul Latif to intelligence-gathering base in Palestine, radioing information back to Germany, and buying support among Arabs in Palestine, recruiting and arming them to foment tensions between Jews and Arabs, disrupting the Mandatory authorities and striking Jewish targets. The plan ended in fiasco: they received a cold reception in Palestine, three of the five infiltrators were quickly rounded up, and the matériel seized. Their air-dropped cargo was found by the British, and consisted of submachine guns, dynamite, radio equipment, 5,000 Pound sterling, a duplicating machine, a German-Arabic dictionary and a quantity of poison with the mission included a plan to poison the Tel Aviv water supply.

The most significant action:

 

Al-Hussein involvement in creating Muslim units under German command, Himmler who viewed the Islamic world as a potential ally against the British Empire and regarded the Nazi-puppet Independent State of Croatia, Himmler had a romantic vision of Islam as a faith: fostering fearless soldiers.

Himmler authorizes three Muslim divisions under German leadership in the Balkans from Bosnian Muslims and Albanians:

the 13th Handschar, the 21st Skanderbeg, and the 23rd Kama (Shepherd's dagger).

At the Muslims had three options: to join the Croatian Ustaše, or the Yugoslav partisans, or to create local defense units. The Muslim chose an alliance with Germany, which promised them autonomy. Dissatisfied with low enlistment, Himmler asked the mufti to intervene. Husseini speeches and charismatic authority proved instrumental in improving enlistment notably:

Those lands suffering under the British and Bolshevist yoke impatiently wait the moment when the Axis will emerge victorious. We must dedicate ourselves to unceasing struggle against Britain – that dungeon of peoples – and to the complete destruction of the British Empire. We must dedicate ourselves to unceasing struggle against Bolshevist Russia because communism is incompatible with Islam.

During a visit in July 1943 the Mufti said:

The active cooperation of the world's 400 million Muslims with their loyal friends, the German, can be of decisive influence upon the outcome of the war. You, my Bosnian Muslims, are the first Islamic division [and] serve as an example of the active collaboration....My enemy's enemy is my friend.

Himmler in addressing the unit declared:

 Germany [and] the Reich have been friends of Islam for the past two centuries, owing not to expediency but to friendly conviction. We have the same goals.

Many Bosnians in these divisions who survived the war sought asylum in Western and Arab countries, and of those settling in the Middle East, many fought in Palestine against the new state of Israel.

Husseini urged Germany to raise a similar Arab legion. Husseini helped organize Arab students, POWs and North African emigres in Germany into the: Arabisches Freiheitkorps, an Arab Legion in the German Army that hunted down Allied parachutists in the Balkans and fought on the Russian front.
