Germany Refuses to Accept Netanyahu’s Claim Palestinian Inspired Holocaust


THE GUARDIAN: Germany says it has no reason to change its view of history after Israel’s prime minister blames mufti of Jerusalem for inciting Holocaust

Germany has said it has no reason to change its view of history after Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, said Adolf Hitler had been persuaded to carry out the Holocaust by a Palestinian leader.

Before a trip to Berlin, Netanyahu provoked incredulity and anger among many when he claimed in a speech that Hitler had only wanted to expel Europe’s Jews and that the idea to exterminate them had come from the then mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini.

But at a joint press conference with Netanyahu on Wednesday, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, made it clear she saw no need for a shift in interpreting history, saying: “We abide by our responsibility for the Shoah.” » | Kate Connolly in Berlin | Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Netanyahu Under Fire for Palestinian Grand Mufti Hitler Claim


THE GUARDIAN: Israeli PM accused of trivialising the Holocaust for saying grand mufti of Jerusalem gave Hitler idea of exterminating Europe’s Jews

The Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has attracted a storm of criticism for an incendiary speech in which he accused the second world war Palestinian grand mufti of Jerusalem of “inspiring the Holocaust”.

The comments in a speech to the World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem, in the context of the current violence between Israelis and Palestinians, were condemned as incorrect by historians and the Israeli opposition leader Isaac Herzog for trivialising the Holocaust.

On the Palestinian side, senior official Saeb Erekat described the remarks as absolving Adolf Hitler.

In his speech, Netanyahu purported to describe a meeting between Haj Amin al-Husseini and Hitler in November 1941. “Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said: ‘If you expel them, they’ll all come here [to Palestine].’” According to Netanyahu, Hitler then asked: “What should I do with them?” and the mufti replied: “Burn them.” » | Peter Beaumont in Jerusalem | Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Arab Nations Ask UN to Designate Western Wall as Muslim Territory


FOX NEWS: False rumors about Israel's designs on a site held sacred by both Jews and Muslims helped trigger the bloody wave of attacks plaguing Jerusalem, but a tangible plan by six Arab nations to purge the Jewish State's claim to its holiest location will be voted on Wednesday by the United Nations' cultural arm.

A UN draft decision circulated by Algeria, Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates reviewed by FoxNews.com “affirms that the Buraq Plaza is an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque” – a statement that would specifically fold the Jewish Western Wall into Islamic domain on the Temple Mount.

“This is a clear endeavor to distort history, in order to erase the connection between the Jewish People and its holiest site, and to create a false reality,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a Monday statement. » | Cody Derespina | Tuesday, October 20, 2015

Europas Rechte sieht die "Zivilisation in Gefahr"


KRONEN ZEITUNG: Europas Rechtspolitiker hatten jetzt dank des "Wall Street Journal" internationales Publikum: Heinz-Christian Strache, Frankreichs Marine Le Pen und Geert Wilders (Niederlande) sowie Matteo Salvini (Italien) warnen in einem gemeinsam verfassten Artikel scharf vor dem aktuellen Flüchtlingsstrom, sehen gar die "Zivilisation in Gefahr". Die Flüchtlingslage in Europa sei "vollkommen außer Kontrolle geraten", weshalb es nötig sei, die Kontrolle über die Grenzen wieder zu übernehmen.

Mit der Asylpolitik der EU- Länder sei "die Zivilisation in Gefahr", betonen die Autoren im angesehenen "Wall Street Journal" . Und die Rechtspolitiker erhielten viel Platz, um dramatisch vor den Flüchtlingswellen zu warnen: So wird Ungarns Außenminister zitiert, der eine Zuwanderung von "35 Millionen Flüchtlingen nach Europa" erwartet. Strache und Kollegen schreiben unter anderem über "Glücksritter und zu viele Analphabeten unter den Asylwerbern", über den hohen Zugewinn der FPÖ bei der Wien- Wahl und auch darüber, dass die nationalen Parlamente in Europa "nur noch Schein- Parlamente" seien. » | red | Dienstag, 20.

Warnings over Resurgence of German Far-Right Movement Pegida Sparked by Refugee Crisis


THE TELEGRAPH: The anti-immigration movement held its biggest rally in months in Dresden with up to 20,000 people attending


Fears are growing in Germany of a far-Right resurgence stoked by the refugee crisis, after nearly 20,000 took to the streets of Dresden in the biggest rally by the Pegida anti-immigrant movement for months.

Martin Schulz, the German president of the European parliament, warned of the potential for “far-Right violence and brutality” while Sigmar Gabriel, the German vice-Chancellor, accused Pegida’s leaders of using the “battle rhetoric” of the early Nazi party.

The charge came as one of the speakers at a massive Pegida rally in Dresden spoke of regret that “the concentration camps are out of action”.

Between 15,000 and 20,000 people took part in a demonstration to mark the first anniversary of Pegida’s founding on Monday, according to police. » | Justin Huggler, Berlin | Tuesday, October 20, 2015
