For many months now the front pages of the world have- been crowded with the blow by blow description of a struggle which has finally reached the United Nations . . . The problem has been how to find a place under the warm Palestinian sun for the living skeletons who, from 1933, suffered the foul tortures of Hitler's fevered brain.
Arrayed against this pitiful group of human beings is a wicked clique of men who, despite their hostility to the Allies, have been granted powerful voices within the United Nations. Sitting on the sidelines — and whipsawed by the Arabs into hatred for one another— are the United States and Great Britain. . .
This week, a United Nations Committee decided to hear all the facts. The Arabs answered with threats of war. War is a horrible crime. Now, then, is the time to point an accusing finger at the real criminals — and to document the charge with incontrovertible evidence.
The whole Arab world is led by a Hitler stooge, a dictator in his own right. His name: Haj Amin El Husseini— otherwise known as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
Those who speak for the Arab cause (at the UN) do so under his direct supervision and control. Here, in a capsule, is the political career of this Arabian Fuehrer. In Iraq, Italy and Germany, the Grand Mufti organized Arab legions to foul up the Allies in 'Europe and Africa. He stimulated the Baghdad pogrom (in '4l) resulting in the murder of 400 innocents. He inspired a revolt by the Iraq army against Great Britain in April '41. When the Iraq revolt flopped he fled to Italy as Mussolini's guest. In December '41 he went to Berlin where Hitler set him up in a special office with branches in Germany and Italy— for propaganda, espionage and sabotage against the Allies. The Mufti didn't spend his time playing parchesi. 'He had offices in Istanbul and Geneva; in Athens established a sabotage school; in the Hague trained students in wireless transmission, high explosives and demolitions; parachuted agents into Turkey, Syria and Iraq to cut telephone wires, oil pipe lines, and to sabotage railways and bridges . . .
And who has this great "statesman" chosen as his spokesmen beiore the United Nations Assembly?
Have a few looks:
Dr. F. Jamali: Chief spokesman for the Arab League and Foreign Minister of Iraq, a country that fought in World War II as an Axis partner. British intelligence describes this Iraqueteer as the principal agitator for the Nazi movement in Iraq. Jamali calls himself an "educator" — but the British Defense Security Office says: "In 1937 Dr. Jamali. at that time Director-General of Education, visited Germany where he was accorded an official welcome and was lavishly entertained. On his return Dr. Jamali was prevailed upon by the Germans to send a delegation to the Nuremberg Rally of 1938. A delegation was sent and the Iraq youth movement was reorganized on the lines of the Hitler Jugend. The Iraq Ministry of Education (headed by Jamali) worked actively on behalf of the Germans against the British and against the interests of their own country."
Farrid Zein ed Din: Syria's gift to the UN Assembly and one of the Arabs' most important representatives. In 1941 this man was arrested as an Axis agent by the Allies in Syria and thrown into prison for three years. When freed he was immediately welcomed back by his pro-Nazi Iraquislings — to become an important spokesman at the U.N. in the U. S.
Emil Ghouri: He pronounces his name "GORY" (how accurate!) ... This Arabilbo is the chief of the York. three-man delegation sent by the Arab Higher Committee to the UN. . . British Intelligence brands Ghouri as a Chief Advisor to the Grand Mufti—when the master .war criminal was organizing the Iraq Rebellion against the British. B. I nails this Arabum as "responsible for propaganda, intrigue 'and subversive activities inside and outside of Iraq" during the dark -days when the English were being crushed from the East and West by the Nazi blitzkrieg.
Wasef Kamal: A delegate of the Arab Higher Committee to the UN — and a close pal of the Grand Nazi... This Arabigot was Hitler's honored guest in Berlin. He was so bad that the British excluded him from the amnesty they granted to other Arab leaders. Which apparently qualified him as an Arabian spokesman. Before the Arab League sent its flunkies to the UN the groundwork for its position was set in the U.S by imported sympathizers.
Ahmed Hussein: Arrived in the U S. a few months ago as a "correspondent" for Cairo newspapers, By his own admission he-is a high- pressure Arab press agent. Hussein is the head of the Fascist "Young Egypt" Party and and a pal of the Grand [Mufti]. Was the chief speaker at a recent New York meeting of the German -American Republican League — organized by two convicted hate-peddlers named Kurt Mertig and Ernest Elmhurst.
H. L. Katibah: Old-time professional Arab propagandist and editor-in-chief for the Institute of Arab-American Affairs. This outfit is the successor to the Arab National League which (prior to Pearl Harbor) cooperated closely with the Nazi German-American Bund. The late president of the Arab National League, Dr. Shatara scurried around, speaking before pro-Nazi organizations in the U. S. Katibah and his Institute of Arab-American Affairs continue feeding the American public the "truth about Palestine."
These are the men who now tell the people of the world (gathered at the United Nations) how to establish "justice for all" in the Holy Land. Since 1935 these Arabandists have been part and parcel of the Nazi propaganda and military machines.
Now, May, 1947, Hitler's, Fifth Column has emerged from its burrow in Asia to raise its voice in the Boro of Queens. This Arabnoxious clique makes Britain look like a monster, the U. S. a puppet, and the Jewish people (millions of whom died fighting the Axis) carpet-baggers. Give these Arabs hoods to match their sheets and you've got — that's right!— an Asiatic Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Or in lusty lingo — phony Arabian Knights.
Well, the middle East undercover men are now out in the open. The only thing missing is the goose step, but an Arab's sandal on the neck of freedom feels the same to the people whose face is being pushed into the dirt. The Arabs, by their own admission, describe the economy of their country as depending upon the unpaid servant class.
In plain English, this means slavery.

"The Mufti.. concocted a new kind of antisemitism that combined traditional Muslim antisemitism, like the anti-Jewish verses you find in the Koran, with the Nazi antisemitism that demonised Jews... His whole ideology was antisemitic and from the very beginning he targeted Jews, not Zionists."

The difference between lies and reality is sometimes just a color on a map

Lord Peel to W. Ormsby-Gore as he was preparing the royal commission report, "Though I knew there was ill-feeling between Jews and Arabs, I had not realized the depth and intensity of the hatred with which the Jews are held by the Arabs..."

"It is not Israel's settlement blocks but rather the Palestinian ideological blockade that constitutes the biggest barrier to peaceful arrangements . The Jew-hatred in this region must no longer be played down as a kind of local custom ..."
