Yet Another Non-Binding Resolution (Haunted By Husseini Of Course)

"Even Kofi Anan, hardly a friend of Israel, stated at the end of his tenure that “… the [Iranian] rhetoric implies a refusal to concede the very legitimacy of Israel’s existence, let alone the validity of its security concerns... Today Israelis are often confronted with words and action that seem to confirm their fear that the goal of their adversaries is to extinguish their existence as a state and as a people.”

The U.S. and Israel have warned that Iran's stance on the Holocaust—and its president's assertions that Israel should be wiped off the map—аre in direct violation of the UN Charter and should be viewed with extreme concern in light of its defiant development of nuclear capabilities.

"While the nations of the world gather here… with the intent of never again allowing genocide, a member of this assembly is acquiring the capabilities of carrying out its own," said Israel's Ambassador to the UN Dan Gillerman.

Ahmadinejad’s nuclear arms race and calls to destroy Israel are connected by an umbilical cord to hatred. The nexus between the Holocaust and anti-Western and anti-Semitic Islamist ideology are well known and well documented. Twentieth century Muslim radicals were Hitler’s willing accomplices. Leading among them was the Mufti of Jerusalem Hajj Amin Al Housseini, Yasser Arafat’s relative and mentor. [ Actually, it's not clear that Hajj Amin was related to Yassar. But there's no question that Yassar though of him as a hero and a mentor. -ed. ]

At the Nurenberg trials of the Nazi leadership, Adolf Eichmann’s deputy Dieter Wisliceny testified that “The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and (SS Chief Heinrich) Himmler in the execution of this plan… He was one of Eichmann’s best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him to say, accompanied by Eichmann, he had visited incognito the gas chambers of Auschwitz.” [ Most people are never exposed to this because it doesn't fit the MSM narrative and has therefore been sent down the "memory hole". Orwell would be quite proud of the scope of this one in fact. Scrape your jaw up of the floor and go research it. A great resource on this is Chapter 7 of Alan Dershowitz' "The Case for Israel". ]

After the war, the Mufti was the guest of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the founder of which, Hassan al-Banna was an admirer of Hitler. Egypt gave refuge to Nazi propaganda experts and missile scientists, while Syria harbored SS brass.

The chief ideologist of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sayyid Qutb, though an exchange student in Colorado, came to passionately hate the United States, primarily because of the freedoms American women enjoy. He refined the anti-Western and anti-American trajectory of the Brotherhood, which later spawned even more extremist offshoots, such as Ayman al Zawahiri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the constituent part of Al Qaeda. Hamas, which is bent on destroying Israel, is also an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Qutb is still a guiding light among Islamist radicals. [ No sh-- Sherlock

In Iran, Nazi sympathies ran deep even before World War Two, fuelled by hatred of the British Empire. Reza Pahlavi, the father of the last Shah, renamed Persia Iran (meaning “Aryan” in Farsi) to signal his political sympathy to the Nazi “Arian” ideology. [ This is an oversimplification and possibly misleading. But it is true that the term Aryan does refer to the peoples of Iran and northern India who were considered the "roots" of the northern Europeans and the ancient Proto-Indo-European language. -ed. ]

Today Iran is a worldwide center of Holocaust denial. This did not start with Ahmadinejad’s December 2006 conference for Holocaust deniers, nor did it begin with Iran’s macabre Holocaust cartoon competition, which has now been declared an annual event. Since 2000, Iran has embraced Holocaust deniers Jürgen Graf, Wolfgang Fröhlich, David Duke, and Roger Garaudy who claim that the Holocaust was a myth.

The refusal of Iran and Arab countries to co-sponsor the UN Holocaust commemoration resolution, their rejection of Holocaust education, and the Iranian nuclear arms and ballistic missile program are signs of an approaching danger.

The implied embrace of the ideology and politics of hatred which brought about the Holocaust does not threaten Israel alone. Radical Islamism, which embraces Holocaust denial, Jew hatred, and the denial of Israel’s right to exist, also vehemently denies Western civilization its right to exist. It is a clear and present danger to world peace. It is laudable that the Holocaust is being commemorated at the UN But to preserve peace, the UN’s members need to do much more than adopt non-binding resolutions."
