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.

Saad Juma'a, of course, forgot to mention the contribution of Amman Radio to Arab enthusiasm on June 5, 1967, when he exclaimed, "Oh Arabs, strike everywhere. Beat until the end. The end of Israel is in your hands." On June 7, 1967, King Hussein delivered a speech calling on his subjects "Kill the Jews with whatever you can get your hands on. Kill them with your arms and your hand, and your nails and your teeth." Shukieri's statement on June 2 was similar to his statement given to the Arab media on May 28, when he said that "the natives of Israel, who will survive, can stay in Palestine. However, in my best estimation, none of them will survive." As Shukieri said these words, dozens of mass graves were prepared in Israel, as there was no doubt that the Israeli victims would be enormous. Rabbis went from site to site and consecrated them as burial places. Israelis who watched Egyptian television in those days were attacked with real existential anxiety in the face of the scenes seen from the screen, since Arab ecstasy was at its peak. For example, Algeria Radio put it this way on June 4, 1967: Brethren, this is the battle of the Arab homeland, of the Arab nation. Battle of Fate, we must look at the battle from this point of view. "The true freedom of the entire Arab homeland must be achieved through the elimination of the Zionist state."</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>

The P.L.O. - What Sort of Precedent?

Line 390: Line 434:

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.

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]:
