Kamal Khatib Quotes

The Nazis and most of the Arabs were allies in WWII. The Jews of Palestine—although they were opposed to many of the British policies regarding Palestine—were active in the Allied cause contributing units to the British Army. Although the Germans were brutal to civilians, murdering millions, they refrained from public pronouncements or exhortations to kill civilians in most cases. The Arabs did not. The Mufti was actually given the rank of General in the Nazi SS and had his own SS unit. In this despicable exhortation he actually uses a concept and wording from the Koran. See {584355}. This quotation is important in that it refutes a common claim by some Palestinians that it was only the Germans who were responsible for the Holocaust and the post war Jewish Refugee problem and that the Palestinians had to bear the price rather than place Israel in Europe. This quotation and the other by the Grand Mufti prove that Palestinians were not only complicit in persecution of Jews but took a leadership and advocacy role.

Even some of the Muslim countries of the OIC were embarrassed by the blatantly anti-Semitic speech of the host country prime minister. He parroted the discredited canard of the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The president believes that Israel was created solely to atone for the Holocaust. He has suggested that Israel should be in Europe. He does not mention the fact that that most of the Middle East including Israel, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and others where part of a Jewish Kingdom over 2000 years ago and Jews were in the Holy Land ever since. He also does not consider the fact that Arab leaders were allies of the Nazis and supported the Holocaust.

Nasrallah claims to be descended from the Prophet Muhammad. Unlike some other Muslim fundamentalist terrorists and politicians who regard the Jews in Israel as enemies, Nasrallah is anti-Semitic and wants to kill all Jews, not just free the “holy land” from the Jewish presence. See {585746}. This quotation was used by the Israeli Prime Minister when addressing the U. S. Congress in March of 2015.

This threat of massacre by the Arabs backfired in that the Israelis had no other alternative but to fight and win or else die. It also gained them a great deal of world sympathy and revulsion at the Arab call for massacre. See related quotes for another of the many examples.

This quotation is typical of the anti-Semitic view of the World that is held by many Islamic fundamentalists. Saudi Arabia promulgates this type of venom throughout the Muslim World. This, along with diatribes like it, are recorded in video and audio tape, and with the permission of the Saudi Arabian government if not with government funds.

Question of FDR who was explaining the Jewish Claims to Part of Palestine. That was a considered option but the Jews had no historical relationship to Germany in the sense that the did in the Middle East, Fir several hundred years all of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and much of the rest of the Middle East belonged to a Jewish Kingdom under a dynasty of Jewish Kings. Jews had lived in the Middle East for over 5000 years. However, the Jewish Kingdom fell to the Romans, and then hundreds of years later the area was under Muslim Rule, then it was controlled by the Christian crusaders, retaken by the Muslims, and then conquered by the Jews when 14 Arab Armies attacked the fledgling state of Israel. So all the contesting ethnic groups claiming the Middle East as their land, base that claim on their domination and rule of the area by conquest at different points of history. All have conquered the land from someone else and ruled it till they were conquered with the Jews being the latest conquerors. So Arabs and Jews both have claims and can object to the other’s behavior of taking the land by force.

To make matters worse for the Muslims, the tiny foreign entity in their midst—populated by "heathens who do not follow the command of God"—have created a much higher standard of living for their people, improved the land and its productivity in ways that have been far superior to traditional Islamic methods, reclaimed much of the desert that the Muslims could not, and produced a military that has staved off the hostilities of all of Islam, and has done all this without any oil or other natural resources to sell. Israel is a living counter-example to the superiority of Islam and its traditions which is so important to Muslims.

Nasrallah claims to be descended from the Prophet Muhammad. Unlike some other Muslim fundamentalist terrorists and politicians who regard the Jews in Israel as enemies, Nasrallah is anti-Semitic and wants to kill all Jews, not just free the “holy land” from the Jewish presence. See {585748}.

The same article denies the fact that the Holocaust ever existed. Al-Akhbar was not just an ordinary newspaper. It is the Egyptian Government’s Official Daily Newspaper—the same Government that was the recipient of the second largest amount of United States foreign aid.

The large Jewish immigration to America was like most immigrations before and since. Some elements of American society thought the immigrants undesirable and worse. Others felt America needed immigrant labor to grow and do the undesirable chores of society. Still others saw immigration to America as a part of American destiny. Herzl’s understanding of America was superficial and the anti-Semitism that many Jews faced dominated his thinking on the subject.

Dayan was a strong advocate for co-existence with the Arabs and an understanding of their frustrations and disappointments without bowing to the extremists who wanted to destroy Israel.

Ironically Germany and almost all Germans have repudiated the Nazi era and atrocities against the Jews and others. However, the Arabs many of whom were Nazi WWII allies still hold and spew false and dangerous Nazi propaganda. See {584354} for some of the earlier Arab Nazi activity.

These kinds of inflammatory sermons are delivered with the approval of the king and royal family who crack down on any cleric who preaches what they do not approve of.

At the time, some Palestinian Arabs claimed exclusive rights to the territory on the grounds that Arabs had dominated the area for the longest period of time. They gave no credence to the fact that the Jews had dominated the area and it was the center of their kingdom for many years before—that Jews had constantly lived in the area of longer than the Arabs, nor did they give any credence to the fact that the Christians had conquered the area from the Muslims during the Crusades.

Most people are familiar with the people are familiar with the terrible persecution of the Jews in Spain by the Christians. Although there were a few examples of tolerance to Jews by Muslims when they controlled Spain and instances like modern Turkey. Generally however there is and has been Islamic persecution of Jews, Christians, and other non Muslims in almost all nations where Muslims have been in control. Until the Enlightenment, Christian persecution of other religions was just as bad if not worse.

The very day of Israel’s birth, 14 Arab Armies attacked a badly outnumbered group of citizens with no formal army and few weapons. The reason the Mufti called on Arabs to leave was to allow the Arab heavy armor and artillery to be used without endangering Arab civilians. The Jews however had no place to go and were fighting for their very lives. Surprising the entire world, they not only beat back all the Arab Armies but won additional strategic positions. The Arabs who stayed became Israeli citizens and there are almost ½ million of them today. Those that left, were rejected by the Arab nations who started the war (except Jordan) and asked them to leave could not be distinguished from those Arabs who, even after the Israeli victory vowed to attack again. That is the origin of the Arab refugees. Since the other Arab states except Jordan would not assist their fellow Arabs, the only solution seems to be a Palestinian State on the West Bank and Gaza, but for that to happen war and terrorism would have to end and Israel would have to be accepted.

It is amazing what explanations religious and biased fanatics can come up with to explain history.

This statement hardened the Israeli population away from anything that would bring Hamas more power. The PLO leader had, for ALL the Palestinian people, recognized the right of Israel to exist {633062}. The Israelis observe that this is a de facto declaration of war, and hence treat Gaza and Hamas as an enemy force to be reckoned with. See {635341} for another alarming reneging of the recognition of Israel.
