HITLER WAS SENT BY ALLAH TO PUNISH THE JEWS IN ‘PURIFICATION SITES’ OF DACHAU AND AUSCHWITZ

The Palestinian Authority continues to allow incitement against Israel

Even as the PA cooperates more closely with Israel on security, it continues to allow incitement against Israel, possibly to create balance and reassure the Palestinian public that it is not cooperating with the "occupation." The Fatah movement, of which Abbas is the official leader, held prayers this week for the souls of the killers of Ziv Hajbi and Kim Levongrond-Yehezkel, who were shot to death in the attack at the Barkan Industrial Park in October, and the infant Amiad Yisrael. Fatah described the killers as "pure-hearted" and prayed that they might win "immortality and glory."

This terminology is familiar from similar attacks in the past, but there is one difference worthy of note, and it pertains to Hitler and the Holocaust. The nonprofit monitoring group Palestinian Media Watch published a video this week of a sermon that ran on Palestinian state TV. The preacher in the video explains that Hitler was one of a series of people throughout history sent by Allah to punish the Jews for their "bad behavior" and teach them a lesson. The sermon was given in a tent in the illegal tent city Khan al-Amar, which Israel has delayed plans to demolish.

This is not the first time that Hitler has had a guest role in Palestinian texts. A few years ago, a PA-funded monthly children's magazine ran an essay by a teenage girl that portrayed Hitler as a positive figure, "because he killed Jews to make the world better."

Last April, political commentator Hani Abu Zeid said on Palestinian TV that Israelis "cried over the made-up Holocaust in the time of Hitler" and that "the numbers weren't that big. It's a lie they [Jews] spread throughout the world. A lot of Israelis had ties to Hitler to open the gates to Palestine so they could bring in settlers."

In the more distant past, Palestinian TV aired a children's program that taught its young viewers that Israel had burned Palestinians in ovens. In an exhibit in Gaza, children set up dolls in a model oven embellished with a Star of David and a swastika. Another Palestinian "historian" claimed on TV that "Dachau never existed, nor did Auschwitz" and at the same time said that the two camps had been "purification sites."

We may have accepted Palestinian incitement as routine, but when they bring in Hitler and the Holocaust, that is hard to hear. And the lack of an Israeli response is even more jarring.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Just one more example of why there can be no peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
