How Nazis courted the Islamic world during WWII

"On the Muslim side one cannot generalize. Some of the Muslim allies of the Nazi regime — most importantly the famous Mufti of Jerusalem — shared the Nazis' Jew-hatred. In the war zones, in the Balkans, in North Africa, and in the Eastern territories, the picture is more complicated. In many of these regions, Muslims and Jews had lived together for centuries. And in some cases, Muslims would now help their Jewish neighbors, for example hiding them from the Germans."  But not this week.

Wasn't Nazi racism a major obstacle to collaborating with Muslims?  . . . "In the war zones, Germany engaged with a wide range of religious policies and propaganda to promote the Nazi regime as the patron of Islam. As early as 1941, the Wehrmacht distributed the military handbook "Islam" to train its soldiers to behave correctly towards Muslim populations. On the eastern Front, the Nazi occupiers ordered the rebuilding of mosques, prayer halls, and madrasas — previously destroyed by Moscow — and the re-establishment of religious rituals and celebrations in order to undermine Soviet rule.

"German military authorities also made extensive efforts to co-opt Islamic dignitaries. German propagandists in the eastern territories, the Balkans, and North Africa tried to use religious rhetoric, vocabulary and iconography to mobilize Muslims. They politicized sacred texts like the Quran as well as religious imperatives, most notably the concept of jihad, in order to foment religious violence for political ends.

"From 1941 onwards, the Nazi Wehrmacht army and the paramilitary SS recruited tens of thousands of Muslims, mainly to save German blood. Muslim soldiers fought on all fronts. German army officials granted these recruits a wide range of religious concessions, even lifting the ban on ritual slaughter, a practice that had been prohibited for anti-Semitic reasons by Hitler's Law for the Protection of Animals of 1933." . . .

Hamas Terrorist Added To Panel Of ‘The View’

  Babylon Bee

NEW YORK, NY — In a controversial decision, producers of the popular daytime talk show The View announced the show will be adding a Hama terrorist to its panel of hosts.

"This should really heat things up on the panel," said co-host Sunny Hostin. "With this member of Hamas being added to the lineup, viewers should definitely expect some explosive conversations. Wait, sorry, that's probably a poor choice of words. What I mean is they will take the attention of our viewers captive. No, sorry, don't print that. What I'm really trying to say is that this new member of the panel won't be afraid to unload on every topic with both barrels. No, sorry. Never mind. I'm sorry."

"The announcement was met with instant criticism, with many people pointing to this weekend's outbreak of war in Israel following the deadly terrorist attack by Hamas on the Israeli military and civilians. "This is really just horribly distasteful," said concerned viewer Erika Olla. "On second thought, stuff that's horribly distasteful is exactly what The View specializes in, so maybe it's a perfect fit."

"Other cast members refuted such critiques. "It's very easy to refer to Hamas as ‘terrorists,'" said long-time co-host Joy Behar. "We want to understand the viewpoints of everyone, including someone who wants to kidnap, rape, and murder innocent people."

"At publishing time, The View was reportedly having trouble filling seats in the studio for this week's tapings."

Interview on Barack Obama's enduring, disastrous legacy in Israel -

 

Resist the Mainstream.

CarolineGlick.com  "Last week I was happy to do a deep dive into Barack Obama’s enduring, and deeply destructive legacy in the Middle East generally and on U.S.-Israel relations with the Armstrong Institute’s Daily Trumpet. We also discussed the nature of the internal strife in Israel regarding what it means to be a Jewish state and the likely (postive) outcome of the left’s anti-Jewish riots on Yom Kippur which targeted 18 prayer services in Tel Aviv and many more in other cities in central and northern Israel."

"No, really.

"We keep asking ourselves this over and over again ... what sort of garbage outlet has someone like this toolbag on their network defending Palestinian terrorists who murdered women and children?

"Probably a garbage outlet that employs trolls like Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow:" . . .

MSNBC Makes Disgusting Comment on Israel

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid's crying shame: Devine (nypost.com)   . . ." But for Reid, he is guilty of murder because he was born white. Every night she spews hatred against white people. 

"Who knows what pathology drives her, but it’s not healthy, for her or any of her dwindling audience. Shame on MSNBC for elevating such a hate-filled racist to prime time. 

"She has zero charisma and her ratings are lackluster. But for some unfathomable reason, she has Teflon protection at the network, even after being caught with homophobic and anti-Semitic comments on her blog. She implausibly pretended her blog had been “hacked” and got a free pass.

"But hateful bigotry still informs her every word. When talking about the Virginia gubernatorial election, for instance, she said Glenn Youngkin won because education is “code for white parents who don’t like the idea of teaching about race.”

"When Winsome Sears became the first black woman to win the office of lieutenant governor of Virginia, rather than acknowledge the achievement, Reid griped that Republicans “demand credit” for voting for black candidates. Then she nodded along vigorously as her guest smeared Sears as a “black mouth … who justifies and legitimates the white supremacist practices.”

"Reid has called black Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “Uncle Clarence,” as in “Uncle Tom.' ” . . .

Israel’s 9-11: What Now? -

 Ironically, the barbarity of Hamas will — for a time — restore Israel’s image as an underdog under siege, not the “occupier” who oppresses. 

The Israeli government formally declared war and gave the green light for “significant military steps”

And now Hezbollah is attacking Israel – HotAir    . . ."But this morning, a new wrinkle developed in the ongoing war. Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon. Rather than quickly moving toward any sort of ceasefire, the war appears to be expanding. And at the bottom of all of this, Iran is clearly either pulling the strings or at least providing a tacit endorsement of the attacks. (Reuters)" . . .

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

“On this day, Simchat Torah we must set aside our joy and mourn our losses. We must put our differences aside and unite and fight for our families, our homes and our homeland.” — Michael Oren, Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. (2009-2013)

"Like America after 9-11, Israel is united.

"Yet, in both countries, nihilists question their nation’s moral legitimacy. They also favor radical judges who no longer interpret law, but make it. But Israel Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu overreached with his judicial reform plan. And his opposition also overreacted. A couple of weeks ago, even the brilliant historian Michael Oren seemed to suggest a connection between the Yom Kippur War a half century ago and “LGTBQ rights” today (he forgot the trendy “+” ).

"But Oren is also right. Although Netanyahu’s tenuous coalition relies on the growing ultra-orthodox parties, they must not force their religious observance or turn back the clock on women. This war reminds us that Israel is a small nation; its survival requires a universal military. Instead of refusing to serve, halakhic Jews should be inspired by their legendary rabbi and foremost Talmudic scholar, the heroic IDF General Shlomo Goren.

"Oren is the author, among his several books, of the definitive work Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East. If you haven’t read it, get it. American born and educated, and the son of a U.S. Army infantry officer who served in World War II and the Korean War, Oren emigrated to Israel in 1979.

"In a later book Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israeli Divide, Oren described his frustration as Israel’s ambassador in dealing with President Barack Obama and his State Department sycophants, given Obama’s obsessive infatuation with the Muslim world and his alienation of moderate Arabs — amidst his destructive engagement with Iran. In 2015, when Oren was touring the U.S. to oppose Obama’s disastrous deal with Iran, he told me of his apprehension about the possibility of what we now know as “Israel’s 9-11.” Even then, he spoke of a Gaza attack in the South, perhaps coordinated with the huge number of Hezbollah rockets in Syria and Lebanon to attack the north, as part of Iran’s proxy war to destroy Israel, and the concern about what might be called “GPS arming,” and the doomsday scenario of an Iran nuclear capability. And we saw this weekend some form of “smarter rockets.” Oren also was concerned about the obvious — no matter the latest generation of Iron Dome or advanced tech, any defense system has its limit and can be overwhelmed." . . .

Apparently Israeli young people are as naive and silly as those demonstrating for silly causes in America.

"Palestinian militants are reportedly using U.S. weapons left behind by President Joe Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal to attack Israel. 

"According to a high-ranking Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commander, U.S. weapons left in Afghanistan after Biden's disastrous withdrawal have ended up in the hands of Palestinian groups active in the Gaza Strip." . . .

This was a "Rave for Peace". These young people were dancing for peace & harmony between Israelis & Palestinians & Hamas responded by literally murdering & raping them. https://t.co/aRNyHJPYuq

Sunny Hostin's take on Hamas terrorism as bad as you'd expect – Twitchy

Ilhan Omar calls for opposition to ISRAEL following attack by Hamas 'human animals'

It Took This Long for Rashida Tlaib to Release a Statement, and It Was Just What You'd Expect (townhall.com)  "As part of achieving a just and lasting peace, we must do our part to stop this violence and trauma by ending U.S. government support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid," the penultimate paragraph read." . . . 

. . ."Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous (Antony Blinken) to the absurd (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them with a riotous headline: “Emperor Hirohito Calls For Ceasefire After Bombing Of Pearl Harbor.' ”

CONFIRMED: Iran Planned and 'Green-Lit' Murderous Hamas Attacks on Israel – RedState   . . .Before the dust settled -- and it's about to get kicked up again in the Gaza Strip as Israel plans a retaliatory strike to behead Hamas -- mAany were wondering just how such an attack could have been pulled off. Clearly, intelligennd how did that all work out?ce resources were involved, and the multitude of weaponry, including thousands of rockets, was not produced by the Palestinians. 

Now, we have an answer. Despite denials from the Biden administration, Iran was behind the attack, to the point of helping plan it and giving the green light for it to proceed. " . . . 

US weapons abandoned in Afghanistan reach Palestinian resistance: Report (thecradle.co)

. . ."Just two months after the Taliban regained control of the country, the New York Times (NYT) revealed: "Dozens of Afghans have set up weapons shops in Afghanistan’s south, selling American-made pistols, rifles, grenades, binoculars, and night-vision goggles."

"Furthermore, disenchanted members of the US-trained Afghan army had reportedly been selling their service weapons to "roving gun merchants" in government bases for months before the US withdrawal.

"US weapons surfaced in Indian-controlled Kashmir earlier this year after they were reportedly purchased from the Taliban by Pakistani groups.

"The claim of US weapons found in Gaza comes at a time when the Israeli army has increased the frequency and intensity of its raids into the occupied West Bank."  . . .

"I have no expectations of the humanity of Hamas," she said, adding: "We all already know what they're capable of."

Elderly Holocaust survivor in wheelchair kidnapped by Hamas: Blinken (nypost.com)  . . ."Blinken then appeared to reference videos circulating online of an elderly woman in a wheelchair being taken by Hamas gunmen in the south of Israel.

" 'As we’ve seen so graphically, literally dragging people across the border with Gaza, including a Holocaust survivor in a wheelchair, women and children,” Blinken said.

“ 'So you can imagine the impact this is having throughout Israel, and the world should be revolted at what it has seen,” he added." . . .
