Achilles,
the mythical warrior, fighting under protection of magical bathwaters was—almost—invincible.
But mother had neglected to wash the heel! A poisoned arrow found that heel
one day and killed him. Hence our popular expression: everybody, no matter
how strong, has an ‘Achilles heel.’ Israel’s enemies have theirs and, October
last, Netanyahu exposed it.
It
was November of 1941, shared the prime minister at a conference, when Hajj
Amin al Husseini, trailing a wake of antisemitic massacres upon which rested
his prestige, entered Berlin triumphantly to meet with Adolf Hitler.
Husseini, Arab Palestinian and Mufti of Jerusalem, carried considerable
weight in the Muslim world and was seen in Berlin as “a future leader of all
Arabs and Muslims, perhaps even reviver of the Islamic caliphate.”[1] Once in Berlin, Husseini convinced the German dictator not to
expel the European Jews to the British Mandate for Palestine. Better to burn them. That, said
Netanyahu, nudged the Nazis into full genocide.[2] What? With
the speed of lightning, a stampede of ‘authorities’ galloped all over the
media screaming that this was a lie, that the Nazis didn’t need any
convincing and, moreover, absurdly, that Netanyahu was “absolving Hitler.”[3] My intention, he returned, was not
that, but to recognize Husseini’s role in the organization of the Holocaust.
Reaching for new heights of absurdity, the media reported this as a
“retraction.” The
documentation linking Husseini, at the highest level, to the Holocaust is
abundant, even redundant. And it was so well known at the close of the great
conflict that British parliamentarians hotly demanded that he be tried at
Nuremberg for war crimes and crimes against humanity.[4] Those reporting Netanyahu’s comments had a golden opportunity
to educate the public, mostly still in bliss about all this. But the media
put the spotlights on a minuscule detail—who was it that first had the
genocidal idea?—and distracted us from the important stuff: that Husseini was a great Nazi
exterminator of Jews. Why
so important? Because
Husseini is: 1)
the acknowledged (and revered) founding father of the Arab Palestinian
movement; 2)
mentor to Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, for whom he procured Nazi German
training; and 3)
creator of PLO/Fatah, today’s
‘Palestinian Authority.’ The
famous ‘Peace Process,’ it follows, is seeking to separate a vital territory
from Israel—from the haven from extermination—and hand it over to the
political heirs of the exterminators! No
such process can bring peace to the Jews, the target in PLO/Fatah’s genocidal sights. Neither can
it bring peace to the Arab Palestinians, because—just as the Nazis did with
the Germans— PLO/Fatah turns them
into cannon fodder. So here is the ‘Achilles heel’ of all
who seek to raise the prestige of the ‘Palestinian Authority’ and
delegitimize Israel. Why?
Because any such campaign must recruit political support: a critical mass. In
order for many Westerners to throw their weight against Israel—and for many
Israelis to give in to such pressure—the ‘Palestinian Authority’ must be
represented as the liberator of an oppressed people, not as Adolf Hitler’s genocidal heir. More than one Westerner
will blush with shame to find him or herself supporting a Nazi organization.
For this very reason, to broadcast the origins of the ‘Palestinian Authority’
is to aim an arrow straight at the Achilles’ heel of Israel’s enemies. We
may now evaluate the ‘Jews control the media’ hypothesis. For if ‘the Jews,’
as we always hear, control the media, why didn’t they broadcast before the
relationship between the Nazis and the Palestinian movement? And why do they
all rush Netanyahu the minute he dares to squeak? It would seem, rather, that
the media are on a short antisemitic leash. But
the antisemites, I would say, control more—much more. Twelve years ago, when I dared to squeak and was smashed by
an anvil, I began to form this hypothesis. In
those days, on the strength of my merits as an anthropologist focused on the history,
psychology, and ethnology of ethnic conflict, I had been hired as a professor
of cultural and evolutionary psychology at the University of Pennsylvania,
and at its Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict, a joint
creation of the political science and psychology departments. One day, as I
researched the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, I came across the Nazi
origins of PLO/Fatah. When I
published this documentation on Israel
National News (Arutz Sheva),[5] my superiors, after warning me that I was “committing
academic suicide,” canceled my courses and denied my reappointment. That
was apparently not quite enough: the Philadelphia
Inquirer published an article attacking me and FOX-NEWS sought to finish
me off with a bullying session.[6] These media chose to speak of
anything at all except what I had documented: the Nazi roots of the
‘Palestinian Authority.’ The powerful, it seems, do not want these roots in
the open. Last
week these memories came back to me in a rush. By
invitation, I gave a conference on Sunday, November 8, at an event called
‘Día Limud,’ organized by the Mexican Jewish community.[7] I spoke there of what Netanyahu had shared, and I emphasized
that the weightiest issue here is that PLO/Fatah, today’s ‘Palestinian Authority,’ was created by an author
of the Holocaust, and this information is the Achilles’ heel of the enemies
of Israel. In
attendance, José Hamra Sassón, former News Director of Channel 11 (TV),
demanded that I produce, that very minute, a reference—any reference, just
one, from an academic, whoever it might be, but a single one!—claiming that
Husseini had had anything whatever to do with the creation of PLO/Fatah. I will
be happy to send that to you, I began to answer, but I could never finish,
for he interrupted me to demand that I cite the academic in that very
instant. Several times I tried to answer but it was impossible to make myself
heard over his increasingly heated interruptions. Neither the moderator nor
myself could recover the control of my conference—not until, that is, the
entire audience had overwhelmed him with loud protests. When my talk ended,
Hamra lamented bitterly to me that “so many people follow you and listen to
you.” I counted 26 people in attendance—an intolerably vast multitude. I
approached Hamra later in the hallway to suggest that his behavior was
consistent with a provocation. He denied it. The problem, he said, was that I
had never answered his ‘question’: I had not named a single academic—not even
a one—. Very well, I said, Howard Sachar: he explains in A History of Israel that Al
Fatah was a creation of Husseini’s Arab Higher Committee.[8] He returned: “I have ten historians who say the opposite.”
That reply, I proposed to him, was consistent with an intent to provoke. At
this he promised that he would consult Sachar’s book. I
took an arrow from his quiver and asked him to give me, from the alleged
multitude of academics who dispute Husseini’s role in the creation of PLO/Fatah, the name of one. There seemed
to be some difficulty in choosing just one, but in the end he said: Barry Rubin. I promised to check it
out. The
recently departed Barry Rubin co-wrote his last book with Wolfgang G.
Schwanitz, which is on the subject of the relationship between various Muslim
movements and the Nazis. In this saga, Husseini and Arafat figure prominently
as central characters. On the relationship between them, the authors write: “On
December 29, 1968, at a meeting in the ex-grand mufti’s home near Beirut,
al-Husaini anointed Arafat as his successor. The movement would be directed
by these two sequential leaders and their similar philosophy and methods for
an astounding eighty-three years, from al-Husaini’s becoming grand mufti in
1921 to Arafat’s death in 2004. In December 1968, the thirty-nine-year-old
Arafat, leader of the Fatah guerrilla group, was about to take over a PLO
hitherto dominated by the Nazi collaborator Abd an-Nasir. But Arafat’s
success would be all the more secure if he received the seventy-one-year-old
al-Husaini’s endorsement. Al-Husaini gave it after lecturing Arafat for
several hours on how he should go about destroying Israel and replacing it
with a Palestinian Arab state. Within a few weeks Arafat controlled the
movement as thoroughly as al-Husaini had ever done.”[9] In
his blog, titled Facing the Mirror –
Israel-Palestine Co-existence, Hamra writes that “to disown roots, by
omission or commission, is to grow in error.” This principle appears to admit
of an exception: PLO/Fatah’s roots.
Because Hamra is so committed to seeing these particular roots disowned that
he organizes disturbances if anybody mentions them, and he justifies himself
on the authority of historians who, as we see, do not even support him. I
fret a bit, therefore, over the probable quality of the news at Channel 11.
Before I left, Hamra explained to me that my work is dangerous
because it “creates enemies.” In other words, I (gratuitously) invent enemies
where none exist (namely, PLO/Fatah).
And that, he told me, “is what Hitler did.” Once
again the same pattern: the minute somebody points to the link between
Husseini, a Nazi exterminator of Jews, and PLO/Fatah, now better known as the ‘Palestinian Authority,’ those
responsible for media content let their tongues run amok. Would
you like to defend Israel? Then share these facts. You will also be
defending, by the way, the Arab Palestinians, for they are daily oppressed
and abused by PLO/Fatah (as you
might expect from an organization created by Nazis). Francisco Gil-White, anthropologist

Howard Sachar writes: “...in
February 1967 the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization] leader [Ahmed
Shukeiry] was wounded in an assassination attempt. For the while, as a
result, the organization was at least partially immobilized by factional
intrigues. Not so a rival, and even more radical Palestinian group in Syria, the Fatah (Arab Liberation Movement), organized several years earlier by veterans of the Mufti’s [Hajj Amin al Husseini’s] former Arab Higher Committee. ...From
the outset... the Fatah’s reputation depended largely upon the success of its
Moslem traditionalist approach of jihad against Israel, and upon
conventional infiltration methods.” SOURCE:
Sachar, H. 1982 [1976]. A history of Israel: From the rise of Zionism to our
time. New York: Knopf. (pp.619, 698) Soon
after this, Al Fatah swallowed the PLO: “By
[1970]…the splinterization of the guerilla ranks largely dictated the altered
nature of their offensive against Israel. Nominally, most of them belonged to
an umbrella coordinating federation, the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Yet this prewar, Egyptian-dominated group had been seriously crippled by the
June debacle, and its leader, Ahmed Shukeiry, had been forced into
retirement. Since then, the PLO had experienced less a revival than a total
reincarnation of membership and purpose under the leadership of
Yasser Arafat. Consisting ostensibly of representatives of all guerilla
organizations, the PLO in its resurrected form was almost entirely
Fatah-dominated, and Arafat himself served as president of its
executive. In this capacity he was invited to attend meetings of the Arab
League, and won extensive subsidies from the oil-rich governments of Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, and the sheikhdoms of the Persian Gulf.” SOURCE:
