Hajj Amin al Husseini's
attacks against the Jews of British Mandate Palestine To see documentation on the massive terrorist attacks that Husseini organized -- with the help of the British, and then also of Adolf Hitler -- against the Jews of British Mandate Palestine in 1920, 1921, 1929, and 1936-39, visit:
The Arabs in British Mandate Palestine who answered Husseini's racist appeals were not reacting to injustices perpetrated by Jews. Contrary to popular belief, the immigrant Jews did not dispossess the Arabs. The Arabs of British Mandate Palestine, led by the pseudo-nationalist Hajj Amin al Husseinni, Mufti of Jerusalem, sold their land titles for money. Husseini used this money, and the money from Arab taxes and British subsidies, to launch massive terrorist waves against the Jews of British Mandate Palestine. This is documented even by anti-Zionist historians such as Nathan Weinstock:

Moreover, many of the so-called ‘Palestinians’ who now claim their right to an independent state in Judea and Samaria were in fact Muslim immigrants to British Mandate Palestine, resettled there by the Ottoman Empire when the Zionist movement began. Many others were attracted there by the economic boom that the Zionist Jews produced. For a discussion of this, visit:

3) Hajj Amin al Husseini had a jihadist ideology. This is how Hajj Amin al Husseini incited the Arabs over the Nazi radio during WWII:
Why did Husseini preach that “kill[ing] Jews wherever you find them” is something that “pleases God”? In order to answer this question, we must understand his jihadist ideology. Jihad is the central concept in Islam. “According to Bat Ye'or,” one of the foremost scholars of Islam,
This opinion is not only that of scholars looking at Islam from the outside. Ibn Kaldun (d.1406), the renowned Arab philosopher, historian, and sociologist, summarized five centuries of consensus opinions of Sunni Muslim jurisprudence concerning the jihad as follows:
The key point is that Muslims will spread their religion “either by persuasion or by force.” It will be explained to non-Muslims that if they cannot see the beauty and wisdom of Islam, they will be killed. This is force. In some cases, especially with Christians and Jews, whom Muslims consider the root of their own tradition, recalcitrant ‘infidels’ may be allowed to keep their faith and live so long as they agree, following a Muslim conquest, to the laws of a special covenant, 'aqd al-dhimmah. The resulting condition of dhimmitude imposes severe restrictions on the rights of dhimmis, reducing them to the status of semi-slaves to the Muslims, and subject to all sorts of humiliations and abuses in daily life, many of which are ritual and obligatory, and designed to convince them that it would be better to convert to Islam. This is ‘persuasion.’ The most important imposition of the dhimma is the payment of jizya, an onerous head tax that is applied to all dhimmis, including women, children, orphans, widows, and even the dead.
One is entitled to disagree that the imposition of dhimmitude really is the “most beautiful way” to entice non-Muslims to see “the beauties of the Moslem faith.” Here follows a description made by Ghevond -- an Armenian Christian writing in the 8th century under Abbasid rule -- about the manner in which the Muslim authorities collected the jizya from the dhimmis.
But though dhimmis were often mistreated in these and other ways, it is still true that those who agree to the dhimma are in theory protected from the extremes of genocide or outright slavery, which is otherwise the usual lot of stubborn and defiant infidels. Now, in the land that the British would baptize ‘Palestine,’ many Jews had been living under Muslim rule as dhimmis for centuries. But in the first half of the 20th c., Hajj Amin al Husseini clearly felt that the “sacred rights” of Muslims had been violated and now preached to his Muslim followers that they should “kill the Jews wherever you find them” because this “pleases God, history, and religion.” To see what supported Husseini's position, we must answer the following question: What is it that dissolves the dhimma and resumes the jihad? In Islam those territories not (yet) ruled by Muslims are called “the land of harbis” or Dar al Harb: the ‘World of War.’ Why this choice of terminology? Because, explains the scholar Nicholas Aghnides (cited above), “the Moslem world is in a state of war with the harbis unless this state has been terminated... [by] conversion to Islam” or by the signing of a truce, such as, for example, agreement to the laws of the dhimma. But “the pact may be considered dissolved... if the dhimmi returns to the land of harbis, for by so doing he becomes like the renegades..., or if the dhimmi fights the Muslims.” Becoming like the renegades is serious, because “renegades,” says Aghnides, “are not given quarter, but have to choose between the sword [death] and Islam.” This is sufficient context to understand Husseini. In his time, many Jews came from Europe to live in the land of their ancestors, which had been ruled by Muslims for many centuries. They did not come to be semi-slaves who would pay the jizya but to liberate the Jewish dhimmis and build their own self-governed homeland. In other words, they came to create harbis where the Muslims already ruled! From the Muslim point of view hardly anything can be less tolerable, except for this: the Jews showed themselves ready to fight Muslims to defend their life and property from terrorist attack. In Husseini's eyes, the Jews had become like renegades who “have to choose between the sword and Islam.” The orthodox reaction, which he led, was to call for the complete, genocidal destruction of the Jews. The bottom line: Hajj Amin al Husseini is the founder of the so-called ‘Palestinian movement.’ This movement is not looking for a piece of land. It is trying to consummate vengeance against rebellious dhimmis -- by killing them all. Modern Westerners, including most Jews, are confused by all this because Muslims will say that dhimmis are ‘protected,’ and much propaganda has misled Westerners into interpreting this statement in their own, Western, terms. In this way they end up believing that non-Muslims have been treated well in Muslim lands. But the ‘protection’ offered by Muslims in the dhimma is no different than the protection racket of armed gangsters: you are being ‘protected,’ through your abasement, from slaughter at the hands of the same Muslims.
Bat Ye'or, one of the foremost historians of
dhimmitude, and the scholar who coined the term,
explained as follows in her testimony to the US
Congress:
It is important to understand that jihadist ideology is a way of attacking Muslims, too. This ideology has no trouble murdering ordinary Muslims if it brings the death of infidels, and this is why suicide attacks are glorified. It is no secret that PLO/Fatah will strap explosives around the waist of young children, and in some cases even women, in order to murder Jewish civilians. No one should be surprised, therefore, that jihadist ideology contemplates milder forms of violence against Muslims if it will bring about the destruction of infidels. Thus, whereas the Jews who were expelled from the Arab states in 1948 (merely because the new State of Israel had defeated the combined attempt of the Arab states to exterminate the Israeli Jews) were absorbed into the Jewish state, and given citizenship, the so-called ‘Palestinian refugees’ had no such luck. These ‘refugees’ lost their homes because they refused the invitation of the State of Israel to return, after the war, if they abandoned the effort to destroy the Jews. And they have not been integrated into the surrounding Arab states, despite the fact that there is plenty of land. |
 "...Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to paradise, which can be opened only for holy warriors!" -- Ayatollah Khomeini, from a 1941 speech entitled "Islam is not a religion of pacifists."

The Muslim expansion has been rapid and stable. ( click to see more and larger maps on the growth of Islam )
Will Islam dominate the world? It will if: 1) Jews do not effectively defend themselves; and 2) Westerners ally with Muslims to destroy the Jews. If this happens, the tragedy of WWII, when a great many Westerners allied with the Nazis to destroy the Jews, causing a world war that cost millions of Western lives and destroyed Western liberties, will repeat itself. This time, however, the West will not get back on its feet.

Why have the Arab states not integrated the so-called ‘Palestinian refugees’ and given them citizenship? Because if they do this these refugees can no longer be used as a political tool against Israel. Here is the assessment of the Washington Report, a pro Arab publication: [ Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon and Syria Face Different, Uncertain Futures. Dec 2000, Vol. 19 Issue 9, p26; Washington Report on Middle East Affairs; by Fecci, JoMarie ] Notice, above, that the ‘Palestinian refugees’ in Lebanon are not given the same opportunities that even guest workers from Egypt and Sri Lanka get. Why? Because the Arab world cares so much about ‘Palestinian refugees’? Obviously, when the Arab states agitate for the ‘right of return’ of the ‘Palestinian refugees’ they are not concerned for the welfare of these people. After all, these people will be horribly oppressed by PLO/Fatah in a future ‘Palestinian State’ (the residents of Gaza, before the Hamas takeover, would refer to the PLO/Fatah police as the ‘death squad’). The point of clamoring ‘in favor’ of the ‘Palestinians’ to create a PLO/Fatah state is simply that it appeals to the humanitarian ideology of Westerners, most of whom are terribly misinformed and thus fail to see that this is just a strategy to advance the jihad against Israel. For a thorough understanding of Muslim jihadist ideology one must consult the opinions of Muslim jurists across the centuries on the purpose and mission of Islam. These jurists explain that most infidels must be murdered if they will not convert, and specify the conditions of inferiority, humiliation, and violent abuse that must be imposed, and have been imposed, on the dhimmis who are allowed to live in Islamic societies. The following volume collects the opinions of Muslim jurists from different eras, and also the historical testimonies from Muslims and non-Muslims on the treatment that ‘infidels’ have received under Islam:
You will find a much shorter exposition of jihadist ideology and dhimmitude in the following two pieces:

4) Hajj Amin al Husseini led the German Nazi Final
Solution in Europe.
Dieter Wisliceny was one of the most important deputies of Adolf Eichmann, the same Eichmann who was officially the chief architect of Adolf Hitler’s Final Solution (Wisliceny was eventually tried for war crimes in Czechoslovakia and executed). This was Wisliceny's postwar testimony on Hajj Amin al Husseini's importance to the Nazi program of mass murder:
In other words, Hajj Amin al Husseini, at the very top of the Nazi leadership, planned with Adolf Eichmann from the very beginning, and then supervised and directed as “permanent colleague, partner and adviser to Eichmann,” the World War II extermination of the European Jews.

5) Hajj Amin al Husseini oversaw the training of Al Fatah by German Nazis. In the 1950s Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas (a.k.a. Abu Mazen), and other teenage protégés of Husseini were trained by German Nazis who were in Egypt to ‘improve’ Gamal Abdel Nasser’s intelligence and military apparatus (after the Egyptians were humiliated in the War of 1948). This training was overseen by Hajj Amin al Husseini, who had taken refuge in Cairo after the world war, and who gathered these young Arab terrorists to create Al Fatah.

6) Around 1969-70, the PLO (an organization created in 1964) was swallowed by Al Fatah, and since then PLO = Al Fatah. People are often told that Al Fatah is the military wing of the PLO. That would be bad enough. In fact, however, since 1969-70, when Fatah swallowed the PLO (but keeping the name), PLO = Al Fatah. Fatah makes all the decisions, and the leader of the PLO (Yasser Arafat, then Mahmoud Abbas) is always simultaneously the leader of Al Fatah.
People are also told that Fatah/PLO is secular, but in fact their ideology was inherited from Hajj Amin al Husseini, and is therfore jihadist, the same as Hamas. Consider what Yasser Arafat said in May 1994, right as the Oslo Process was getting off the ground:

7)
PLO/Fatah's objective is a genocide of the Jewish
people.
PLO/Fatah means to resume Hajj Amin al Husseini’s jihad and see through the German Nazi Final Solution by annihilating the Jews in Israel.
Many people believe that the PLO Covenant or Charter has been revoked so that it no longer calls for the destruction of Israel. This, however, was a show of hands, a theater for TV, rather than an actual rewriting of the Charter, which remains as before. But even if you believe that the Charter really was revoked, it hardly matters. The revocation of the Charter would be the equivalent of a formal aman, or a truce pact with infidels. But in Muslim tradition,
In theory one is supposed to notify the enemy that one is breaking the agreement, but, as explained in Point 3, from the Muslim point of view Jews trying to create their own homeland in what was previously Muslim-ruled land turns them into the equivalent of renegades, which is to say that they must all be killed unless they convert to Islam, and no consideration whatever will be shown to them. So any appearance of a truce from the PLO/Fatah may be assumed to be a ruse to place PLO/Fatah in a better position to kill Jews. If the supposed revocation of the PLO Charter is indeed a ruse, we should expect PLO/Fatah to be teaching Palestinians that they must destroy Israel. This is indeed the case. For example, consider the school textbooks that PLO/Fatah creates for Palestinian children. Palestinian Media Wath, an organization that monitors what Palestinian Arabs are told by their PLO/Fatah (Palestinian Authority) government, explains that, [ From Nationalist Battle To Religious Conflict: New 12th Grade Palestinian schoolbooks present a world without Israel; February 2007; Palestinian Media Watch; Written by Itamar Marcus & Barbara Crook ] So what do Palestinian children learn in their PLO/Fatah textbooks? PMW explains: [Arabic Language, Analysis, Literature and Criticism, grade 12, p. 104 ] Defining Israel’s founding as a ‘catastrophe unprecedented in history,’ ‘a theft perpetrated by ‘Zionist gangs,’ together with numerous other hateful descriptions of Israel as ‘colonial imperialist’ and ‘racist’, compounded by the presentation of the conflict as a religious war, leaves no latitude for students to have positive or even neutral attitudes towards Israel. This negative imagery and religious packaging are compounded by hateful presentations of Israeli policy. The young students are imbued with a Palestinian identity as ‘victims’ just by virtue of Israel’s existence. The well-meaning student is left with no logical justification or religious option to accept Israel as a neighbor or to seek coexistence. Given the total rejection of Israel’s right to exist, on nationalistic and religious grounds, Palestinian terror against Israel since Israel’s founding in 1948 is defined as: ‘resistance... acts of most glorious heroism.’ [Arabic Language, Analysis, Literature and Commentary, grade 12 p 105] ”In fact, the PLO/Fatah textbooks teach jihad.
PMW concludes:
Given that the supposed revocation of the PLO Covenant or Charter is a complete fraud, we need to take its contents seriously. Article 9 of the PLO Charter, composed in 1968, states that “armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.” This can also be rendered: “Killing people is the only way to liberate Palestine.” Killing which people? Article 15 of the PLO Charter states that it is “a national duty to repulse the Zionist imperialist invasion from the great Arab homeland and to purge the Zionist presence from Palestine,” and Article 22 declares that “the liberation of Palestine will liquidate the Zionist and imperialist presence.” In other words, the PLO will liberate Palestine by purging and liquidating -- exterminating -- “Zionists” (Jews). [Note: The PLO Charter articles were translated by: The Associated Press, December 15, 1998, Tuesday, AM cycle, International News, 1070 words, Clinton meets with Netanyahu, Arafat, appeals for progress, By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent, EREZ CROSSING, Gaza Strip.] The evidence so far is consistent with a PLO/Fatah conception of the Oslo Process as a Trojan Horse. That is to say, PLO/Fatah pretends that it will be satisfied with a piece of territory -- this is the 'gift' equivalent to the Trojan Horse: the promise of peace -- when in fact it seeks a better position from which to kill Jews. One of the PLO's highest officials once explained it like that, even using the expression "Trojan Horse."
If statements by Arafat were needed, they have been produced:
Mahmoud Abbas, the current PLO/Fatah leader, is one of
the main influences behind the Trojan Horse strategy
that is the Plan of Phases. This was shown in an article
in the London-based Arabic daily Al Sharq Al-Awsat,
where the author Saleh Qallab explains to his Arab
audience what PLO/Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas’s ideology
is. And it is this: to talk ‘peace’ in order to soften,
divide, and confuse the Israelis, the better to prepare
them for slaughter.
Mahmoud Abbas's strategy has worked beautifully. He is portrayed everywhere as a moderate and 'partner for peace.' |

The Iliad famously tells the story of a large wooden horse, hollow inside and secretly filled with soldiers. The ancient Greeks offered the Trojans this horse as a supposed gift, in recognition of their defeat, after attempting to storm the city of Troy for 10 years. The gullible Trojans took this "gift" inside their city walls. At night, the soldiers inside the horse crept out, opened the gates to the Greek army outside, and murdered every man, woman, and child in Troy, burning the city to the ground.

8) Judea and Samaria are strategic The territory that the Government of Israel is about to give to Al Fatah -- cleansed of its Jews as was done already in the Gaza Strip -- is called Judea and Samaria (a.k.a. 'West Bank'). This is high ground. Most of the Israeli Jews live in lowlands between Judea and Samaria and the sea. These lowlands are almost impossible to defend because they constitute a very thin strip of land. Between the West Bank hills and the sea, at the narrowest point, there are no more than 9 miles. And in the Tel-Aviv-Yafo area, where half of all Israeli Jews live are densely concentrated, there are 11 miles between the West Bank Hills and the sea, a distance a that a fit person can easily jog, and back. To give Judea and Samaria to the PLO is to turn Israel into a death trap (or should we say death camp?). The US Government, which has pushed hard for Israel to give these lands to the PLO, in fact agrees. A 1967 US Pentagon study concluded that Judea and Samaria (and Gaza, and the Golan) were strategic territory that, if relinquished, would lead to the destruction of the Jewish State. This Pentagon study was not done for the benefit of Israel, but was kept secret. It was apparently declassified in 1979 but not published until 1984. You may read it here:

9) Four
points:
Not only is PLO/Fatah responsible for more Israeli deaths even than Hamas, but in fact Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, one of the Fatah terrorist groups, is considered “the deadliest Palestinian militia.” [ Newsday, Sept. 8, 2002, NASSAU AND SUFFOLK EDITION, Pg. A05, 1333 words, WEST BANK; Militia Goes More Quietly; Al-Aqsa changes tactics after losses, By Matthew McAllester. ]
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade The Fatah terrorists were quite passionate in their support for Mahmoud Abbas to succeed Yasser Arafat as head of PLO/Fatah. As reported on 27 November 2004:
But hardly anybody was more passionate than the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, taking Abbas’s side vociferously when it seemed like Marwan Barghouti, another Fatah leader, might seek the post:
b) PLO/Fatah and Hamas are not enemies but allies The following piece contains detailed documentation on the supposed Hamas 'takeover' of Gaza. It shows that in fact there was no fight, and that Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO/Fatah chief, simply gave Gaza to Hamas. PLO/Fatah and Hamas are allies.
The result? Gaza has become a terrorist platform
dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Now Mahmoud
Abbas is about to receive Judea and Samaria (and part of
Jerusalem!). |

c) PLO/Fatah and Hamas are both backed by Iran (among other powers) What one usually hears is that Iran supports Hezbollah and Hamas, but Iran also supports PLO/Fatah.
Historically, there is no room for surprise that Iran is supporting PLO/Fatah because the love affair between PLO/Fatah and the Iranian Islamists goes back to the Ayatollah Khomeini. In fact, in 1979, just two weeks after the Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran and took power, the New York Times reported:
As we see, PLO/Fatah in fact helped put the Iranian Islamist regime in power. The Iranians are now returning the favor. They have always been very close.
In fact, when the Iranian regime seized US hostages in Tehran in 1979, the US government asked Yasser Arafat to negotiate for their safety. Why? According to The New York Times:
This is how the US ruling elite mobilized an amazing theater in which the PLO was represented as (you guessed it) the ‘moderates.’ To learn more about this story, please consult:
