THE TELEGRAPH: The European Union faces an age of comparative economic decline, while the 'love' affair' of integration is at risk, says Jean-Claude Juncker in downbeat assessment of Europe's future
The European Union faces long-term economic decline and the “love affair” of integration is at risk, Jean Claude-Juncker has said in a downbeat assessment of the bloc’s future.
“Economically, we see the end of Europe’s glorious years compared with what others are doing,” the president of the European Commission said.
The “dream” of a unified continent is at risk from “fissures and fractures” of national divisions and separatist movements, he said.
“The European Union is not going very well,” Mr Juncker said. “And so we must ensure that we keep alive the ambitions, hopes and dreams of Europe.” Read on and comment » | Matthew Holehouse, in Brussels | Thursday, October 22, 2015

Le tueur en Suède était proche de l'extrême-droite
Portant un masque rappelant celui de Dark Vador dans la «Guerre des étoiles», l'assaillant a fait irruption dans l'école et attaqué plusieurs personnes, enfants et adultes, frappant apparemment ses victimes au hasard.
Ce drame rarissime dans le royaume scandinave s'est produit jeudi matin à Trollhättan, ville industrielle à une heure de route au nord de Göteborg, dans un établissement «à problèmes» accueillant 400 élèves, dont un grand nombre de jeunes migrants arrivés récemment dans le pays. » | jeudi 22 octobre 2015

The Nazi Collaborators: The Grand Mufti
The Truth about Jerusalem’s Grand Mufti, Hitler and the Holocaust
JEWISH JOURNAL: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went too far in recent comments that Nazi collaborator Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem before and during World War II, played a “central role in fomenting the Final Solution” by trying to convince Hitler to destroy the Jews during a 1941 meeting in Berlin. But Netanyahu was right on when he emphasized the Mufti’s Holocaust complicity and activities before, during, and after the war when the Mufti lied about alleged Jewish intentions to expel Muslim and Islam from Jerusalem’s Temple Mount—the same lie that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas repeats today in support of the current “knife Intifada.”
Netanyahu said: “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.' 'So what should I do with them?' he asked. He said, 'Burn them’.”
Netanyahu’s quotation of the Grand Mufti is word-for-word accurate, but it is not true that the Fuhrer needed the advice of Islam’s leading anti-Jewish fanatic to implement the Final Solution. That was his dream as far back as 1919 as a letter that he authored and signed now on display at the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance documents.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has been accused of “a dangerous historical distortion” and even “Holocaust Denial” from the predictable political quarters who even dismiss the Grand Mufti as “a lightweight” inconsequential in the history of the Holocaust. This claim wrongly mitigates the Mufti’s mindset and crimes as one of the Hitler era’s leading anti-Jewish haters. » | Abraham Cooper * and Harold Brackman ** | Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Police Uncover Far-Right Plot to Attack Refugee Shelters in Germany
Police in Germany have uncovered a plot by far-Right extremists to attack refugee shelters using “highly dangerous explosives”, prosecutors said on Thursday.
Three people have been arrested in connection with the plot following police raids in the Bavarian town of Bamberg. Prosecutors were seeking arrest warrants against a further ten suspects.
They are believed to have been planning an attack on two government shelters for asylum-seekers in the town.
Prosecutors said they intended to throw explosives into the shelters to spread “fear and terror”. » | Justin Huggler, Berlin | Thursday, October 22, 2015
IRS to Recognise Same-sex Marriages across US
The IRS has said that the terms "husband" and "wife" will now apply to same-sex marriages, regardless of where the ceremony was carried out.
In a move that underscored both a cultural and legal acceptance of same-sex marriage, the tax agency - formally the Internal Revenue Service - posted new regulations that implemented the Supreme Court’s historic ruling this summer.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the new regulations posted on Wednesday would ensure "that all are treated equally under the law". » | Andrew Buncombe, New York | Thursday, October 22, 2015

Al-Husseini's Critical Role in Instigating the Holocaust
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has drawn much flack for saying that the Mufti of Jerusalem gave Hitler the idea of exterminating European Jewry – but there is in fact much evidence of the Mufti's very significant involvement in the diabolical scheme.
…
Netanyahu quoted the testimony of Adolf Eichmann's deputy at the Nuremberg trials after World War II, who said: "The Mufti was instrumental in the decision to exterminate the Jews of Europe. The importance of his role must not be ignored. The Mufti repeatedly proposed to the authorities, primarily Hitler, Ribbentropp and Himmler, to exterminate the Jews of Europe. He considered it a suitable solution for the Palestinian question."
Eichmann's deputy also said: "The Mufti was one of the instigators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry, and was a partner and advisor to Eichmann and Hitler in carrying out this plan."
…
Even if it was Hitler himself who came up with the idea of exterminating Jewry, it is important - in light of the support shown by PA leaders for the current wave of murderous terrorism - to understand the decades-old roots of Arab support for killing Jews. » | Hillel Fendel | Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Germany Refuses to Accept Netanyahu’s Claim Palestinian Inspired 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 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
