In June 1-2, 1941, the Jews of Baghdad were set upon by Arabs, who murdered hundreds of them and wounded thousands, in what has come to be known as the “Farhud,” which is Arabic for “violent dispossession.” After Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War, leaders of Arab countries took revenge on the Jewish communities under their rule. Thousands of Jews were forced to emigrate as a result of harassment, imprisonment (in Egypt about 600 Jews were put in prison for one to three years), acts of murder (in Libya and Morocco), cancellation of citizenship (Iraq and Egypt), expulsion, and confiscation of property (Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and Syria). Some three weeks after Israel’s establishment, on June 7-8, 1948, pogroms occurred in the Moroccan towns of Oujda and Jerada. Forty-two Jews were murdered and hundreds wounded. Several days later, 14 Jews were murdered in Tripoli in Libya. In June and July 1948, in response to the Egyptian army’s failure to destroy the nascent Jewish state, the Jewish areas of Cairo were hit by Muslim Brotherhood bombings, acts of sabotage, and attacks; tens of Jews were killed and wounded.
On January 27, 1969, nine Jews, some of them minors, were hanged in the Baghdad city square on the concocted charge of collaboration with Israel. That is a very small sample of such Arab-attacks on Jews, that have been going on all over the Arab world (including Islamic Spain) for more than a thousand years, with a very sharp increase in the 20th century.
Yet Mahmoud Abbas says that Jews were “never attacked” in Arab lands. “Jews provoked the Holocaust, Palestinian leaders say (again),” by Rafael Medoff, Jewish Journal, March 7, 2024:
The real reason for the Holocaust, Abbas said, was the Jews’ own “social behavior, [charging] interest and financial matters.” Those Jewish actions are what provoked the Nazis, he claimed.
Just last year, the P.A. chairman repeated that perspective in a speech to Fatah’s Revolutionary Council (on Aug. 24, 2023). “They say that Hitler killed the Jews because they were Jews and that Europe hated the Jews because they were Jews. Not true,” Abbas asserted. “[The Nazis] fought [the Jews] because of their social role, and not their religion… The [Nazis] fought against these people because of their role in society, which had to do with usury, money and so on and so forth.”
Somehow, that train of thought coexists peacefully in Abbas’s mind alongside the view he articulated in his infamous PhD dissertation-turned-book, “The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism,” published in 1984. There he argued that fewer than one million Jews were killed by the Nazis, and they were the victims of a secret partnership between David Ben-Gurion and Adolf Hitler. Asked about the book by a Lebanese television interviewer in 2013, Abbas insisted that he stands by what he wrote, and even has written “seventy more books that I still haven’t published” on the topic….
The real partnership was not the non-existent one between Ben Gurion and Hitler — a preposterous idea — but that between the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the leader of the Palestinian Arabs between the 1920s and the end of World War II, and Hitler. Al-Husseini met Hitler, applauded his Final Solution, raised several Waffen SS battalions from Bosnian Muslims, and became friendly with Himmler and Eichmann; he even visited the Trebbin concentration camp to see the good work the Germans were doing.
Abbas told a Lebanese interviewer that he continues to believe what he wrote in his doctoral thesis that was turned into a book. And in an example of can-you-top-this absurdity, he said that he had written “seventy more books on the subject” of the secret links between the Zionists and the Nazis. “Seventy more books”? What a very busy scholar Mahmoud Abbas must be. Where has he found the time, between ordering the killings of dissidents like Nizar Banat, engaging in his persiflage with foreign leaders, and helping himself to hundreds of millions of dollars from the aid money meant for all the Palestinians?
And these are the “moderate” and “good” Palestinians of the Palestinian Authority, the ones whom the Bidenites hope will take over Gaza once the IDF has put paid to Hamas, despite the failure of anyone in the PA, including Mahmoud Abbas, to condemn the October 7 atrocities. A slender reed, Messrs. Biden and Blinken. You are pinning your hopes, to change metaphors in midstream, to a very slender reed.
He’s following the usual Marxist narrative, accusing his opponents of doing what he’s done.
Funny how Abbas being one of the biggest Holocaust deniers on the planet now states that the Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves.
Typical of Islam and their toadies: It either never happened, is wildly exaggerated OR Hitler didn’t go far enough.
No, Radical hateful regimes, who love death, bring on the wars. They can never rest in creating ways to do evil, its a continual progression of plotting to destroy the state of Israel. What they don’t understand is what goes around comes around and lands right back on their own heads.
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard the phrase “Jews Brought the Holocaust on Themselves” I could probably collectively buy CAIR, Hamas, and Hezbollah and every proto Nazi/HAMAS college campus group in this country, collectively.
The really ugly thing is that there are RELIGIOUS JEWS who say it. They say the Jews brought the Holocaust on themselvrs by assimilating into German society.
Holocaust denial and inversion (“Jews are the Nazis, ‘Palestinians’ are the new Jews”) are endemic throughout the Muslim World and nowhere more so than among the “Palestinians”. That is unsurprising if appalling. What is even more appalling is that so called liberals are too candyass to denounce them. Will opportunitic, Jew hating hack Elizabeth Warren (who just accused Israel of genocide) denounce “Moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas”? Don’t hold your breath. Neither willl Bernie Sanders, Dementia Joe, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Antony Blinken, Hillary Clinton (who embraced Suha Arafat after she accused Israel of using chemical weapons) or the Great Narcissist Barack Hussein Osama.
What he neglected to mention (because he has an aversion to the truth) is that the Arabs brought the ruin of Gaza upon themselves.
For a Holocaust that is claimed to have not occurred by Islamo-Marxists, wing nut Neo-Nazis, and college students who listen to their communist manifesto loving professors, there must be significant whiplash trauma when they make these about faces and declare the Holocaust did occur, but blah blah blah…
This reminds me of the Muslims that say the “Jews were behind 9/11” in one breath, and “it was a great victory for Islam in another”.
Exactly. If “the Jews were behind 09/11” why were Fakestinians dancing in the street celebrating it?
If America and its ruling class do not recognize that Islam is a depraved psychopathic murderous berserk evil cult,
then eventually they will come to rationalize that depraved psychopathic Islam is really a friend of America and Israel is really America’s enemy.
Already, America and the West bend over backwards to accommodate Islamic aggression crime murder terrorism and violence., because the Islamic Saudi Royal Family and the Qatar and other Royal Families control the chokepoint of the world’s energy supply.
The American ruling class does what the Saudi Royal Family orders it to do..
What must be done is for the USA and Europe and the West to crush the depraved psychopathic murderous berserk lunatic Mohammedans.
1400 years of depraved psychopathic murderous berserk Islam is enough already.
I would like to meet this SWINE, up close and personal on the street.
The thing that Jewish people always do, that invariably evokes Islamic aggression, is that they succeed. They pursue excellence, morally, academically and commercially, and they attain it. This is desperately triggering to the Muslims, because Allah is supposed to be signalling his approval of the “real” chosen people, the descendants of Ismail. They know in their hearts that their faith is a house of cards, that it doesn’t do what is written on the box, and they act out of a desperate need to reassure themselves that Allah really is the God of the Bible, and that Mohammed’s inverse ethics really are correct. This is the whole meaning o “Allahu akbar” – they are telling themselves, first of all, and only then telling us, that, look, Allah is greater because he empowered me to rape all these women, or to put children in a wooden cage and set fire to it, or to crucify Armenian girls during the Armenian Genocide (and, NB, only the deaths of Muslims are eligible to be described as genocide because only when a Muslim dies violently is it unjust – the rest of the world deserves to die if it fails to collude with the Islamic mythology).
The oft-repeated slur about Jewish money lenders is because the Jews were barred from the professions and universities for many centuries, so commerce was their only option.
