'''Ahmad al-Shukeiri''' (January 1, 1908 – February 26, 1980) (أحمد الشقيري) also transcribed '''al-Shuqayri''', '''Shuqairi''', '''Shuqeiri''', '''Shukeiry''', etc.), was a long time agitator and the first Chairman of the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]], serving in 1964–67. Used to preach defamation of Jews already in the early '50s. Incited for Jihad in the 1960s. Infamous especially for his genocidal calls pre-1967 Six-day war. Less famous, his pro [[Hitler]] and pro [[Nazi]] activities.

Shuqayri began to be active in Palestinian Arab politics in the early 1930s ... whether or not they were politically wise—Shuqayri was expressing the attitudes and feelings of his countrymen... He describes the great excitement with which they used to listen to German and Italian broadcasts, how he would follow during the night the military communiqués, marking on a map the places being occupied by the victorious Germans and meet his friends the following morning to discuss triumphs exceeding those of the previous day: '''Our sympathies were with the Axis powers being led by Hitler from victory to victory, and with our sympathies went our prayers for the victory of Germany'' and her allies, and defeat for Britain...</blockquote></ref><ref>[https://m.news1.co.il/Archive/002-D-100749-00.html The Truth About the War of Independence: Poor Preparations - Chapter 19...] News 1, March 13, 2015.

The Palestinians sympathized with the Nazis.

During World War II, most of the leaders in Palestinian society supported Nazi Germany. The ideological and strategic conflict in the world had no meaning in their eyes. Their sympathy for the "Axis" countries expressed their desire to get rid of the British, the French and the Zionists, or at least to see the fall of the British. Ahmad Shukieri testified: "Our sympathy was with the Axis Powers. Hitler led from victory to victory. We prayed for the victory of Germany and its allies and the defeat of Britain and its allies. When the British government announced the establishment of an Eretz Israel military force for the war effort, our young men were instructed: 'Do not join this force' and almost everyone obeyed it. The German and Italian air forces arrived in Palestine. And in September 1940 their planes bombed targets in Tel Aviv and Haifa. The joy and excitement in our circles was indescribable. So happened that an Italian bomb fell in Acre in the neighborhood where my house was, it dug a large pit but did not cause any damage. The assistant governor in Acre visited me and said that the governor jokingly told him that this bomb was intended for Ahmad Shukeiri. I said: "Excellent.

First, let me dispose of a current canard. As evidence of her egregious lack of sensibility, she has been repeatedly charged with denying the existence of Palestinians. Her actual words were: "There is no Palestinian people; there are Palestinian refugees." In the 1980s, such a distinction is damning; within its historic context it is not at all so. When Golda arrived in Palestine , the only avowed Palestinians were Jewish pioneers. Arab nationalists stridently rejected the designation of "Palestinian" as an attempt to fragment an ideal Arab unitary state. From the Versailles Conference until the Partition debate at the United Nations, Arab spokesmen insisted that Palestine was southern Syria and that to confer independent status on this territory, cherished in Jewish history, infringed on the Arab nationalist vision. As late as 1956, Ahmed Shukairy, subsequently head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, argued at the Security Council that "it is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria." Golda took her adversaries at their word.

Only in the 1960s did the Palestine Liberation Organization come forward with the demand that Arab refugees be renamed a homeless Palestinian people. Since that time, the distinction has become archaic.</blockquote></ref>

== At the UN: hate ==

Shukeiri was a member for hire. First of the [[Syria]]n delegation to the [[United Nations]] from 1949 to 1951. He then became assistant Secretary General for the [[Arab League]] from 1950–56, [[Saudi Arabia|Saudi]] ambassador to the [[United Nations]] from 1957 to 1962.

50 Years Ago. 1962 More and more evidence is coming to light that a number of Arab countries are actively courting former Nazis and bringing them over... Ahmed Shukairy, Saudi Arabia's current representative to the U.N., was a close collaborator with the mufti. He continues to spread Nazi-style hatred of Jews, even in the United Nations.''</ref>

Line 153: Line 158:

''... the first person to accuse Israel of being an apartheid state was Ahmad Shukeiri, a U.N. diplomat, in 1961 in the context of the Eichmann trial. Grossman remembers that Shukeiri was the founder of the PLO, and served as head of the group prior to Yasser Arafat. Shukeiri was also a fervent supporter of the Nazis. Shukeiri is what links the Arabs' support for the Nazis and the use of the terms "Nazis" and "apartheid" against Jews, who were victims of the Nazis.''[https://www.israelhayom.co.il/article/576893]</ref>

This Covenant was written by the first PLO Chairman, Ahmed Shukeiry. This version reflects the Pan-Arab nationalism which can be clearly seen in the emphasis on the view of Palestine as part of an Arab collective homeland. The pan-Arab objective in the Arab-Israeli conflict is rather pervasive – the destruction of Israel. However, noticeably missing is the call for a Palestinian state and the subordinate position of the Palestinians in what is expressed as a battle for their rights and homeland.</blockquote>

... The dark warnings of Arab leaders about what would happen to Israel if their forces were to triumph had been all too explicit. Only a week before the outbreak of fighting, Egypt's president, Gamal Abdul Nasser , had threatened that "this will be a total war. Our basic aim is the destruction of Israel." And the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Ahmed Shukairy, had added to the sense of looming tragedy, "Those native-born Israelis who survive can remain in Palestine. But I estimate that none of them will survive."</blockquote></ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=HxC7AAAAIAAJ&q=Shukeiri+hitler Meyer Levin: 'The Story of Israel,' (Putnam), 1966 (1967), pp. 221-222].

<blockquote>Again, Arab leaders began to vie with each other on promising genocide for the Jews of the Holy Land. It was to be a war of extermination in which not a man, woman, or child should be spared, announced Ahmed Shukeiri, the bloodthirsty organizer of commando units in the Arab refugee camps. Nasser promised to place Shukeiri's men in the front ranks when he invaded.</blockquote></ref>

''The Arab defeat in the Middle East war leaves a big question mark over the future of the Pafestine Liberation Organization and its '''firebrand leader -leftist Ahmed Shukairy'''. Shukairy narrowly escaped capture by Israeli forces in Jerusalem and many of his "Liberation Army" are now prisoners of the Israelis. "We will wipe Israel off the face of the map and no Jew will survive," Shukairy declared two days before the war broke out June 5. He vowed to lead the vanguard of his troops into the Israeli sector of Jerusalem and set up a "purely Arab government" there for all of Palestine.''</ref>

...professing its genocidal ambition openly, without hiding it in any disguise whatever. Its leader, Ahmed Shukairy, kept making a point of it that the Arabs were absolutely literal when speaking of pushing the Israelis into the sea. Following the military disaster Israel that year inflicted on the Arabs, they were internationally overheard discussing the public relations error of their past genocidal candor. Heads of Arab states and Palestinian leaders were voicing this tactical self-criticism in newspaper interviews and articles, in radio and television broadcasts, in speeches before parliaments.

The adjustments made in the aftermath of this self-criticism included the replacement of the undiplomatic Ahmed Shukairy with the highly diplomatic Yassir Arafat as leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization . Also included was a new semantic formula which, incorporated in the Charter of the PLO, for the first time provided however thin and tortuous a camouflage of the genocidal ambition. What used up until that point to be loudly and proudly advertised was now being pro forma denied whenever necessary, accompanied by a meaningful wink of an eyelid.

Quoted in Y. Harkabi, "Liberation or Genocide", Transaction, VII, 9-10, July - August, 1970, p. 63...

The reference to "the well-known Shukeirian" solution is intended to recall the views of Ahmed Shukeiri, leader of the P.L.O. until the defeat of June 1967. His name has become a symbol of genocidal aims against the Jews.</ref>

−

In 1970 he complained that his calls of "sweeping of the Jews into the sea” was blamed on him alone, as he reflected the accepted official Arab outlook, an outlook that was changed only by the outcome of the war.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=RmYeAAAAMAAJ&q=shukairy+jews+into+sea The New Middle East, Issues 16-39.

Mr Shukairy claims that when in his days of glory he publicly advocated the liquidation of Israel and “sweeping of the Jews into the sea”, he reflected the accepted official Arab outlook, an outlook that was changed only by the outcome of the war of 1967. Mr Shukairy is indignant that such extremism should be fathered on him alone ... </blockquote></ref>

And in 1971 he justified his calls of throwing the Jews into the sea.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=CFYBAAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Apologia 'Arab Guerilla Power,' 1967-1972, Edgar O'Ballance, 1973, p.37]:

Shukairy sank into obscurity, and later (in May 1971) published his apologia, which he called Dialogues and Secrets with Kings (in Beirut in Arabic).

In it he defended his notorious demand 'to liquidate the state of Israel and throw the Jews into the sea' as being the accepted view then of the Arab heads of state, Arab politicians, who had since turned on him and prised him from office and the Arab press...</blockquote></ref>
