The Nazis and Hamas both committed atrocities against Jews against the Jews, and on October 7, I was not the only one to point out the one spiritual difference between Hamas and the Nazis: they both publicly acknowledged their offences against the Jews and were eventually seen by the world as they bragged about killing Jews. Hamas paraded captured Jews in front of cheering Israeli crowds in Gaza, dead and alive, clothed and naked, in addition to videoing their crimes.

This leads to a disturbing discovery.
There is a moral difference between Hamas and the Nazis, as well as a social distinction between the German citizens during the Nazi period and the Arab people today, and for virtually the last 100 years, because Hamas boasts to their fellow Zionists about what they did to Jews while the Nazis tried to hide what they did to fellow Europeans.
Ethically speaking, it would be difficult to think of a less impressive persons than the Palestinians of the past decade. For those who do not realize that a statement means, by concept, that there are exceptions, I should notice that there are and have always been commendable Arab people. Some rivals have compared the Palestinians ‘ collective history of evil.
This start in the 1940s.
Haj Amin al-Husseini, the most prominent Arab spiritual leader in the early 1940s, was a big supporter of the Nazis ‘ killing of Jews. A popular image of al-Husseini and Hitler meeting in Berlin on November 28, 1941, is available. According to Al- Husseini,” Germany only recognized the world risk of the” Jewish problem” and took steps to” address” it worldwide.” As reported in the Holocaust Encyclopedia.
The Encyclopedia further notes that “on December 18, 1942, Arab emigres opened an’ Islamic Central Institute ‘ ( Islamische Zentral- Institut ) in Berlin, with al- Husseini as a senior sponsor and keynote speaker. Al-Husseini criticized the Jews in his speech, claiming that the Koran had declared them to be the “most unbreakable enemies of Muslims.”

Al Husseini was referred to as” the father of Palestinian nationalism,” according to the Haaretz newspaper, which is left-wing and vehemently anti-Benjamin Netanyahu.
The father of Palestinian nationalism was charged as a war criminal in 1945 by Yugoslavia with recruiting 20, 000 Muslim volunteers to join the Waffen-SS and help it thaw out the Jews of Croatia and Hungary.
All of that Nazi-like antisemitism in Palestine predates the founding of the State of Israel.
Before going into detail about the decades of Palestinian slaughter of Jews in Israel, it is also important to take into account the moral character of the Palestinian people toward other Arabs. For good reason, the Palestinians were widely despised in the Arab world: wherever they went in large numbers, they caused havoc.
On Sept. 6, 1970, Palestinian terrorists hijacked Trans World Airlines, Swissair and Pan Am airplanes. A few days later, they hijacked a British Overseas Airways Corporation ( now” British Air” ) airliner. The Palestinian terrorists segregated the flight crews and Jewish passengers, keeping the 56 Jewish hostages in custody, while releasing the non- Jews. In total, five planes were hijacked, and three of them were landed at a desert airstrip in Jordan. These hijackings plus Palestinian violence in Jordanian cities led to a Jordanian- Palestinian civil war in Sept. 1970, during which, according to the Palestinians, Jordan killed 25, 000 Palestinians.

Seven months later, in April 1971, Yassir Arafat, the Palestinians ‘ leader, called for the overthrow of Jordan’s King Hussein. Wasfi Tal, the prime minister of Jordan, was killed in Cairo in November of the same year by four members of the terrorist organization known as the” Black September” ( whose name derives from the Palestinians ‘ defeat in Jordan in September 1970 ). An “assassin kneeled beside his victim to lick his blood,” according to a report from The New York Times. A photo of a Palestinian assassin drinking ( not merely licking ) Tal’s blood was widely published.
Hunderttausend of Palestinians moved to Lebanon, where they quickly proceeded to ruin that nation after destabilizing Jordan and losing the civil war they caused. The Lebanese Civil War, which erupted in 1975 and lasted until 1990, was a result of their love of violence and terrorism. That war led to an estimated 150, 000 Lebanese killed, tens of thousands wounded, hundreds of thousands displaced and left destitute, and a decrease in the Christian population of Lebanon from 55 % in 1970 to 35 % in 2022.
Meanwhile, throughout Israel’s history, Palestinians murdered Jews in Israel whenever possible, blowing up school and municipal buses filled with passengers, blowing up Passover Seders and weddings and pizza parlors full of families, and wherever else Jews were assembled. They frequently stabbed and shot dead Jews who were just running around doing their daily tasks.

To cite a few of thousands of examples, on May 8, 1970, Palestinian terrorists crossed into Israel and carried out the Avivim school bus massacre, a bombing which killed 13 civilians, 9 of whom were children, and injured 25 other children.
Palestinians fired rocket-propelled grenades into an Israeli school bus on May 22, 1970, killing nine children, three adults, and injuring 25 people.
At Israel’s international airport ( then known as Lod ), Japanese terrorists operating on behalf of a Palestinian terror group murdered 26 and injured 80 passengers on May 30, 1972.
On May 15, 1974, Palestinians went to a school in Ma’alot, Israel, where they took hostage 105 high school students and more than 10 others. They eventually killed 25 of the hostages, including 22 students, and injured another 68.
On March 11, 1978, Palestinians hijacked a bus and murdered 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children, and injured 76 more.
On Oct. 19, 1994, a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up in a bus during the morning rush hour in Tel Aviv, killing 22 people and injuring 50 more. Hamas claimed responsibility.
On March 2, 2002, a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 11 people and injured over 50 at a Saturday evening bar mitzvah celebration. A group of women waiting with their newborn carriages for their husbands to leave the nearby synagogue were next to the bomb planted by the terrorist.
In the middle of the Passover seder with 250 guests at a hotel in the coastal city of Netanya on March 27, 2002, a Palestinian suicide bombing claimed 30 lives and injured 140 people.

When a bomb detonated in the student center cafeteria on the Hebrew University campus on July 31, 2002, nine people were killed and 85 were hurt. Hamas claimed responsibility.
On Aug. 19, 2003, 23 people were killed and over 130 wounded when a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated himself on a bus in Jerusalem. Hamas claimed responsibility.
This brief list is nowhere near exhaustive.
As of 2022, a majority of Palestinians support terror attacks against Israeli Jews, according to the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. Additionally, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank has been providing more than$ 300 million annually to the families of terrorists who were imprisoned and who were killed while carrying out a terror attack on Jews, accounting for 8 % of the Palestinian budget. According to another Palestinian poll, the vast majority of Palestinians in the West Bank– over 75 %– are currently Hamas supporters.
Jews have been killed for almost a century, and the Palestinians have always done it. In honor of the terrorist attacks against Jews, Palestinian women frequently distribute candy in the streets. Similar to Israel, which has numerous human rights organizations holding Israel accountable for its treatment of Palestinians. Similar to Israelis, who have for years offered to drive Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza to Israeli hospitals for medical care.

To be “pro- Palestinian” today means being pro- Hamas just as to be “pro- German” during World War II was the same as being pro- Nazi. The only difference is that Palestinians and the Germans were one and the same people. If you support the Palestinians, you should know whom you support.
