I personally think from the viewpoint of argument critique (that is the structure of the argument not taking into accounts my own personal beliefs) that using the Holocaust as a justification for the creation of the state of Israel is a weak premise.
It’s ludicrous on the face of it as the Palestinians had nothing to do with WWII and taken literally this means that Germany should be the homeland of the world’s Jews.
Perhaps sensing the weakness and even the danger of this argument to their land claims there has been a move of late to link the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin Al-Hussani during the British Mandate to the Final Solution.
An example of this would be the number of assertions made by Alan Dershowitz such as Adolf Eichmann visited Husseini in Palestine;" "taken on a tour of Auschwitz by Himmler;" "The grand mufti of Jerusalem was personally responsible for the concentration camp slaughter of thousands of Jews;" the mufti organized a commando unit "to poison Tel Aviv's wells"; "The mufti was apparently planning to return to Palestine in the event of a German victory and to construct a death camp modeled after Auschwitz near Nablus;"
The bottom line is there is no historical evidence for any of this. The fact the Mufti chose to align himself with forces that were enemies to that nation which colonized the land where he lived reminds me of Gandhis’ attiude on WWII which subsequently got him locked up-Why go along with war in which you are expected to fight on the side of those that oppress you?
Let’s also kept in mind that Eichmann met with Zionist groups while in Palestine as a possible means of shipping Jewish refugees there.
Who are the real Nazis here anyway-a long deceased Arab leader who was a marginal figure at best and whose reputation and importance have been so pumped up and exaggerated that he now gets as much ink in Zionist literature as Adolph Eichmann and Heinrich Himmler
Or a government that commits crimes such as these….
Kamal Zghair was a fifty-seven-year-old, impoverished wheelchair-bound invalid. He slept in a backroom of a gas station in Jenin, near the Ibrahim Haddad factory. Almost every day, he went in his wheelchair to a neighboring industrial warehouse where his friend, fifty-year-old Durar Hussein, washed his clothes for him, repaired his wheelchair, provided him with food, and also gave him some respite from his lonely existence…Human Rights Watch went to inspect the site of the killing and found the crushed and bullet-ridden wheelchair by the side of the road, its white flag still attached. The stretch of road on which Kamal Zghair was killed was completely open with excellent visibility, so it is unlikely that the IDF soldiers who shot him saw anything other than an elderly, wheelchair-bound man.
You be the judge!
