0:00And I’ll tell you , Francisco , my

0:02feeling . When I see speeches , for

0:04example , from Yahya Sinwar ( may his

0:06name be blotted out ) , who was the Hamas

0:09leader in Gaza , or even see some less

0:11extremist ones , or less so , as they

0:13call them in the West , from for example

0:15Mahmoud Abbas , who is the president of

0:17the Palestinian Authority , who to me is

0:19the same , only one doesn't wear a tie .

0:23They say things that are subtleties

0:25that one often sees like the Nazi

0:27discourse ; the Nazis for the public

0:29were this totally radical antisemitic

0:31group that sought the persecution and

0:33extermination of the Jewish people

0:35during the Second World War . I want to

0:39ask you , since you analyze this on a

0:41historical and anthropological level ,

0:43if it’s a coincidence that both have

0:45similar discourses or if there is some

0:47common factor between them . Well , there

0:52are going to be some similarities that

0:54have to do with the convergence of

0:56their antisemitic ideologies , right ? So

0:59, if you start from the fact that both

1:01are antisemitic and both want to

1:03destroy the Jewish people , then you

1:05have to expect that some aspects of

1:07their discourse will be similar simply

1:09because they are converging on the same

1:11thing . But there is also the genealogy ,

1:16because it turns out there is a league ,

1:21there is a vertical historical link

1:24between the German Nazi movement and

1:26today's jihadist movements . And the

1:30figure that most representatively

1:33represents that connection is the Grand

1:36Mufti of Jerusalem , Haj Amin

1:39al-Husseini . Because Husseini was

1:43simultaneously the founding father of

1:45the Palestinian Arab movement . He was a

1:49very high-ranking Nazi in the Third

1:53Reich system . He had his own

1:57bureaucracy , Büros des Großmufti ,

2:00with the highest responsibility in Nazi

2:02propaganda , in the creation of entire

2:05SS divisions for Heinrich Himmler , in

2:08the administration of the death camps ,

2:11working together with Adolf Eichmann .

2:16And after the war , Husseini escaped

2:21justice and became the mentor ,

2:23godfather , and trainer of Yasser Arafat

2:25and Mahmoud Abbas and some other

2:27teenagers who became the founders of

2:29Fatah . So , there you have the link .

2:37Let me see then if I understood the

2:39scenario I presented to you at the

2:41beginning : it was that there is

2:42Palestinianism and there is Nazism and

2:44each had its own historical line , but

2:46they have in common this Judeophobic

2:48factor or whatever . But it turns out

2:51you are telling me otherwise , the

2:52equation isn't like that . The equation ,

2:55you are saying , is that there is the

2:57Nazi movement and one of the Arab

2:58leaders of the time , based on the Nazi

3:00movement , founds what is Palestinianism

3:02. So , it is a linear continuation . I

3:06wouldn't — I wouldn't say that the

3:08German Nazi movement created

3:10Palestinianism . I wouldn't say that .

3:12But what is true is that from the

3:15beginning , almost from the very

3:17beginning of what became Palestinianism

3:20, you already had an alliance with the

3:22German Nazis . The Mufti , Amin

3:26al-Husseini , before even becoming the

3:28Mufti , was already organizing terrorist

3:31attacks against Jews living in the

3:33British Mandate for Palestine . And

3:41after the first one , which was the Nebi

3:43Musa massacre , the British made him the

3:45Grand Mufti of Jerusalem . They gave him

3:49a lot of power , which he used to

3:51organize new massacres of Jews there in

3:53what would later become the State of

3:55Israel . And the biggest one of all , the

3:59attack — the biggest pogrom that this

4:02Husseini organized against the Jews of

4:04British Palestine , which was called the

4:07Arab Revolt — he organized that with

4:09weapons that Adolf Hitler was sending

4:12him , and that lasted from 1936 to 1939 .

4:16So , as early as 1936 , there was already

4:19a link between the Third Reich and Amin

4:22al-Husseini , a link between German

4:24Nazism and the Arab Palestinian

4:27movement . So , I wouldn't say that one

4:30created the other , but from very early

4:33stages they were already linked , both

4:36of them , sorry . And that link

4:39culminated in a collaboration between

4:41the Arab Palestinian movement and the

4:43German Nazi movement to exterminate the

4:45European Jewish people in the crime we

4:48call the Shoah . So , I ask you this : the

4:52audience heard the dates ; that is

4:54before the creation of the State of

4:57Israel . Therefore , if the

4:59Palestinianist claim of the Palestinian

5:02Authority , Fatah , and all those groups

5:04is that their claim is that an

5:06occupying state exists , are you saying

5:09that was never the initial narrative ?

5:12Before the creation of the State of

5:14Israel itself , they were already

5:15carrying out pogroms , that is , attacks

5:16against Jewish communities . So , that

5:19Well , but the issue of the occupation

5:22is even clearer than that , because what

5:27they never explain to people is that —

5:30and you and I saw this in some other

5:32video we made a few years ago — they

5:35never explain to people that , in fact ,

5:37the Arabs were offered their state . No ,

5:43it is not true that the Arabs were

5:45denied their state in British Palestine

5:47. It is false . They were offered it .

5:49What's more , this is what people have

5:51to understand . There was a territory

5:54that had been promised to the Jewish

5:56people , which was the territory of the

5:58British Mandate for Palestine ,

5:59originally defined in 1920 . Okay ? So ,

6:03the League of Nations told the British

6:07Empire , " Well , you can administer this

6:10territory , but on the condition that

6:12you assist the effort to create a

6:14Jewish homeland , because the Jews need

6:16a homeland . " So , it was on the

6:20condition that they adopt the Zionist

6:22project that the League of Nations

6:24allowed the British Empire to

6:26administer the territory that was

6:29called the British Mandate for

6:31Palestine . But 2 years later , Great

6:34Britain , without asking , without , I

6:36mean , illegally , without permission

6:38from the League of Nations , cut off

6:41three-quarters of that territory and

6:43gave it to the Arabs . And that is the

6:47first Palestinian Arab state , which was

6:49called Transjordan and later the

6:51Kingdom of Jordan . Okay ? So

6:53three-quarters of what had been

6:55promised to the Jewish people was taken

6:57and given to the Arabs . And then in

7:011947 with the UN partition plan , the

7:04one-quarter that remained was split in

7:08half , and so an additional one-eighth

7:11was for another Palestinian Arab state .

7:15And the Jews were only going to get

7:18one-eighth of what they had been

7:21promised originally .

7:23Seven-eighths of what had been promised

7:25to the Jewish people was being given to

7:27the Arabs . And the Jews said yes , the

7:31ones who didn't want to accept it were

7:33the Arabs . The Arabs said , " No , "

7:36because they didn't care that they were

7:37being given almost everything . The only

7:40thing that mattered to them was that a

7:42Jewish state would not exist . And they

7:44said it out loud . They said , " We don't

7:46want the Palestinian Arab state , what

7:48we want is to exterminate the Israeli

7:49Jews . " There are multiple uh sources

7:52that demonstrate this , and I invite you

7:54to watch the video . I'll leave it in

7:56the description when I release the

7:58video of that talk we had . It's a very

8:00valuable video , actually . Uh ,

8:02in any case , uh you mentioned that

8:05Husseini escapes to Egypt , but here I

8:07have a question for you . If he was such

8:12a collaborator with the Nazis , uh , Amin

8:14al-Husseini , the first

8:16proto-Palestinian leader , how is it

8:19possible that in the trials , for

8:21example , Nuremberg or the ones for the

8:24public when the Nazis and their allies

8:27lose World War , World War II ? The

8:30opposing side calls the leaders to put

8:32them through a series of trials . So , uh

8:35my question is , why didn't they call

8:37him or why didn't they capture him , or

8:39what happened to him ?

8:42It's an excellent question , and it's a

8:44question that when you try to answer it

8:46, uh , it's a thread that when you pull

8:49it , you end up with the whole rug in

8:51your hand . I mean , here you really

8:54diagnose the system because , well ,

8:56Husseini was a British creation . Okay .

9:01Husseini .

9:02Can you elaborate on that ? This took me

9:04by surprise .

9:07Husseini couldn't be Grand Mufti of

9:09Jerusalem in the British Mandate of

9:12Palestine unless the British allowed it

9:14. The British were the bosses in the

9:17British Mandate of Palestine . What

9:20happened there was , and furthermore ,

9:23the conditions under which the British

9:26made him Mufti are completely

9:28incriminating . So , this is what

9:31happened . Amin al-Husseini organized a

9:35terrorist attack against the Jews of

9:38the Yishuv in the British Mandate in

9:411920 , coinciding with the League of

9:44Nations meeting to decide to give the

9:47mandate to the British , because what

9:49Husseini wanted to do was signal that

9:52the Arabs were violently opposed to the

9:55Zionist project and were not going to

9:58let it happen and would start killing

10:01Jews , and so on . And so , when they

10:04found out about the massacre there at

10:06the San Remo conference , where the

10:08League of Nations was deciding this ,

10:10Husseini's idea was that they would get

10:13scared and would back down on the

10:14movement , the whole Zionist project .

10:17Well , that didn't happen . The League of

10:20Nations approved the creation of the

10:21mandate with the directive to support

10:23the Zionist movement , etcetera . And the

10:28British , when they saw that Amin

10:31al-Husseini could organize these

10:34terrorist massacres , they elevated him

10:37because the British were not really in

10:41favor of the Zionist project . They had

10:46only told that to the League of Nations

10:47so that with that promise they could

10:49obtain control of the territory , but in

10:51reality they weren't in favor , they

10:53were against it . Uh , and the way to

10:59sabotage the Zionist project for them

11:01was indeed Husseini's violence . So ,

11:04after seeing that he organized the Nebi

11:08Musa massacre in 1920 , they held an

11:11election for the position of Grand

11:14Mufti of Jerusalem , which is a position

11:17they invented from the Ottoman Empire .

11:21It was just the Mufti of Jerusalem ,

11:23right ? The Grand Mufti . And the

11:25authority he had was only in the city

11:27of Jerusalem , right ? Over the entire

11:29territory that became the British

11:30Mandate . So , the British created this

11:34huge position , and it gave a lot of

11:36power to the Mufti because he

11:38controlled the schools , the madrasas ,

11:41the mosques , he appointed and removed

11:43the clerics , taxed the Arabs , and

11:46received a subsidy from the Crown ...

11:48forget about it ! So they create this

11:53so-called election to choose the Grand

11:56Mufti of Jerusalem , and the Arabs vote .

12:02The rules of the process were that the

12:05British Empire was the one that would

12:09choose the Mufti from among the top

12:12three candidates who emerged from the

12:16Arab vote . Okay , those were the rules .

12:20Yes , vote and let's see who comes out

12:21on top . But from the top three , the

12:23British Empire would choose the one

12:25they liked best , and that person would

12:26be the Mufti . Well , they vote , and

12:29Husseini didn't make the top three ; he

12:32came in fourth . So , what the British

12:36did was pressure the third-place

12:38finisher to resign so that Husseini

12:40would move up to third place , and then

12:42they chose Husseini .

12:45Okay . So , that's what they wanted . They

12:48wanted the anti-Jewish terrorist ; this

12:50entire process exposes them , it gives

12:53them away . That is where you realize

12:57the true policy of the British . And we

13:00also have the testimony of John Henry

13:02Patterson , a British lieutenant colonel

13:09who was a big fan of the Zionist

13:11movement and was stationed there in the

13:14British Mandate , and who was an

13:16eyewitness to all of this , and he left

13:19a very important testimony of how the

13:21British allied with Husseini to incite

13:24massacres of Jews in the British

13:26Mandate and try to sabotage the Zionist

13:29project . here . So , I have a question ,

13:33but perhaps the solution .

13:35Oh , sorry , I didn't get to the very end

13:38to answer your question . So , forgive me

13:40. So , all of that was to give you the

13:43background on why a trial for Husseini ,

13:46because let's go back to your question .

13:49Your question was , why wasn't Husseini

13:52tried at Nuremberg ? Okay , so now we can

13:54go back to your question . A trial of

13:57Husseini would have been deeply

14:02embarrassing and politically dangerous

14:04for the rulers of the British Empire ,

14:07because they had created Husseini . So ,

14:11Husseini’s responsibility in the Nazi

14:13Final Solution became the

14:14responsibility of the British Empire .

14:17And so , what exactly happened ? Husseini

14:24after the end of World War II was under

14:27house arrest in France . Can you imagine

14:31this ? This is this is the

14:33money .

14:36This is the criminal responsible for

14:38the massacre of between 5 and 6 million

14:40European Jews , and they had him under

14:43house arrest as if he had stolen a

14:45piece of gum . Okay . Uh , and well , they

14:51let him go . So , obviously I don't have

14:56the secret communication that was used ,

14:58but the impression given by the

15:00historical fact that they let him

15:02escape is that the British government

15:04pressured the French government to let

15:06him go . And they let him go because he

15:10escaped . He escaped . He went to an Arab

15:12embassy , they gave him a passport , and

15:14he took off for Cairo .

15:17I want to ask about that last statement

15:19, because you attribute a large number

15:20of victims to Husseini , because one

15:22could say that there were many leaders

15:24who were Hitler's allies , right ? You

15:27can name everyone from Spain to Italy ,

15:30but what stands out about Husseini , how

15:32much did he truly influence or how

15:34close , how active was he in the ideas

15:37that came out of

15:39Oh , no , no . Husseini bears the highest

15:41responsibility . Jacob , this was

15:43established by the Nuremberg War

15:45Tribunal after the war . So , in the

15:48Nuremberg War Tribunal , they collected

15:51the testimonies of Rudolf Kastner and

15:54Andor Steiner , both of whom had been in

15:58contact with Dieter Wisliceny during

16:01the war . Who is Dieter Wisliceny ? He is

16:04Adolf Eichmann's second-in-command .

16:07Adolf Eichmann is the director of the

16:09death camp system , the well-known

16:12director of Adolf Hitler's death camp

16:14system . Okay ? So , the machinery of the

16:17final solution , according to all

16:19history books , was operated by this

16:21Adolf Eichmann . Okay . Well , at the

16:24Nuremberg War Tribunal , his subordinate

16:27testified , which was Dieter Wisliceny ,

16:29who was Eichmann's partner . Okay . He

16:33was testifying and then they executed

16:34him . Uh , the prosecutors of the

16:40Nuremberg War Tribunal all commented

16:43that Dieter Wisliceny had been a

16:46magnificent witness , that he had , for

16:50reasons who knows , decided at the end

16:53of his life to be a good witness , right

16:57? He was a monster , no one changes that

17:00, he was a monster , but before they

17:02executed him , he stood there to testify

17:04and they presented him with evidence

17:06and he corrected it very carefully and

17:08then they corroborated it , and it

17:09turned out he was an excellent witness .

17:11All the prosecutors said that . So , the

17:14Nuremberg Tribunal had the independent

17:19testimonies of Rudolf Kastner and Andor

17:21Steiner , who both had had contact , a

17:23lot of contact , during the war with

17:25Dieter Wisliceny . And Dieter Wisliceny

17:29had told these two that , eh , the Mufti

17:32Husseini was extremely important in the

17:35structure of the Third Reich , that he

17:38was Adolf Eichmann's best friend , that

17:41together they had set up and managed

17:44the entire death camp system , and that

17:46Husseini was , if anything , more extreme

17:49than the Nazis in his fanaticism to

17:52kill every last Jew , whether man , woman

17:55, or child . Okay . So all of that , all

17:59of that had been testified to

18:01independently by Andreas Steiner and

18:04Rudolf Kastner that they had heard

18:09Dieter say . When they capture Dieter

18:12Wisliceny , the Nuremberg War Tribunal

18:14makes him testify , and one of the

18:16things they review are these two

18:18testimonies they had , and they say to

18:20Wisliceny , " Hey , Andreas Steiner told

18:22us that you said the Mufti did this and

18:24Eichmann did that , and so on . " So then ,

18:27Wisliceny , with his usual caution , told

18:29them , " Look , I did say this , I didn't

18:31say that , this is true , this is not , "

18:33and so on . And Wisliceny corroborated

18:36that indeed , the Mufti Husseini had

18:38been the one who convinced the Nazis to

18:41stop expelling Jews and instead kill

18:43them all , that he had collaborated from

18:45the beginning with Eichmann in the

18:47construction of the death camp system ,

18:49that they had managed it together , and

18:51so on . Wisliceny testified to all of

18:55that , uh , and well , so

18:57so what we have ,

18:59this is a witness , he is an eyewitness ,

19:01and we also have a lot of photographic

19:04evidence of Husseini's participation in

19:06training his SS troops ; I mean , there

19:09is no ... this is well-established , that

19:11is my point , right ? By the Nuremberg

19:14War Tribunal . So , what do we have here ?

19:17That the founding father of the

19:19Palestinian Arab movement bears the

19:21highest responsibility in the Nazi

19:23extermination of the European Jewish

19:26people . And nobody told us that .

19:29Yes . So , this is exactly what I wanted

19:32to get to : in order to move to the

19:34second part , for the audience , I want

19:36to see a summary — and you can correct

19:38my nuance — that we have the current

19:40Palestinian movement , because Nazism is

19:42diluted ; there are , if anything , some

19:44branches out there , but in truth , it

19:46has not disappeared , because the

19:48Palestinian movement has that same DNA

19:50and that same , let's say , old alliance ,

19:53and they are simply the ones who did

19:55not go extinct from this same , uh ,

19:57premise . Well , so , but to say that , to

20:00say that , you need one more step , which

20:03is the following : that after the war ,

20:06since Husseini escaped to Cairo , in

20:08Cairo he becomes the mentor and

20:10godfather of Yasser Arafat , Mahmoud

20:13Abbas , and some other teenagers who , in

20:16the late 50s , received Nazi training

20:19that Husseini got for them because many

20:22Nazis were arriving in Cairo to take

20:25refuge with Gamal Abdel Nasser and to

20:27train Nasser's security forces . So then

20:31Husseini takes advantage of some of

20:33those Nazis to give Nazi training to

20:35Yasser Arafat , Mahmoud Abbas , and some

20:37other teenagers , and they become the

20:38core of Fatah . So once you complete

20:42this last link , you can then say ,

20:44clearly , Fatah is descended from the

20:47Nazi final solution because Fatah was

20:49created by Amin al-Husseini , who is the

20:52director of the death camps . There it

20:55is , there is the direct connection and ,

20:58uh obviously Husseini created Fatah to

21:03continue the Nazi extermination ,

21:05obviously . So it is , it is perfectly

21:09justified to say that Fatah or

21:12PLO-Fatah , because as of 1970 , the PLO

21:16is Fatah , right ? So you can say

21:19PLO-Fatah is the continuation of the

21:22Nazi final solution . That is what it

21:24was built for by the author of the

21:26extermination of the European Jewish

21:28people .

21:29Right . And that is why in modern times

21:32it is not strange to hear the president

21:35of the Palestinian Authority denying

21:38the Holocaust or even promoting the

21:40spilling of blood or things of that

21:43nature . So , that is how it is explained

21:45. And so I want to move on to the

21:47second part of the video . Everyone on

21:49the live stream , leave your comments .

21:51What do you think about this topic ?

21:53It's rarely discussed because I don't

21:55know how many of you knew about the

21:57phenomenon of this Mufti , and also

21:59leave your likes .

22:01My question is this , and can I , can I

22:03do a commercial , Jacob ?

22:04Yes , go ahead .
