Palestinians Fly Nazi Flag Over Road Used By Jews

How not to win friends or influence people

• An impossible problem.  Neither the Muslims nor the Israelis have any respect for each other.
• The Israelis have stolen Arab lands and redistributed it to Jewish settlers.
• The Muslims, doing what Muslims do best, have engaged in terrorism and war against non-believers. 

The war that never ends.

For at least the second time in five months, Arab residents of Beit Umar in the Palestinian Authority (PA) have placed a Nazi flag over a major thoroughfare where Jews pass in their vehicles.

 Beit Umar is located between Halhoul and the Etzion Bloc, not far from Hevron.

Soldiers from the Haruv battalion in Kfir Regiment tried to take down the flag Saturday, but encountered difficulty because it was placed very high up reports Israel National News.

A similar event took place at Beit Umar in May, when hundreds of residents of Gush Etzion who drove down Highway 60 were astounded to see an oversized Nazi flag flying next to a mosque in the Arab town.

In a recent key seech, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu quoted numerous historical sources showing that the leader of the Palestinian Arabs in the first half of the 20th century, Mufti Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, was “one of the initiators of the Holocaust of the Jews of Europe,” and that he was constantly encouraging the Nazi leadership to annihilate the Jews, throughout the war. He cited evidence that the Mufti even visited the gas chambers at Auschwitz with Adolf Eichmann.

“The Mufti is still a greatly admired figure in the Palestinian national movement,” said Netanyahu.

“These are the weeds that need to be uprooted,” he said. “The root of the conflict is the deep resistance among a hard core of Palestinians to the right of the Jewish people to its own state in Israel.”

Haj Amin al-Husseini - Grand Mufti of Jerusalem
Al-Husseini was the scion of a family of Jerusalemite notables. After receiving an education in Islamic, Ottoman and Catholic schools, he went on to serve in the Ottoman army in World War I. At war's end, he positioned himself in Damascus as a supporter of the Arab Kingdom of Syria.
.
Following the Franco-Syrian War and the collapse of the Arab Hashemite rule in Damascus, his early position on pan-Arabism shifted to a form of local nationalism for Palestinian Arabs and he moved back to Jerusalem.
.
He actively opposed Zionism, and in WWII looked to Hitler to help free the Arabs from British and French imperialism.

A lesser told story of World War II is the large number of allies Germany had.  There were those who believed in Fascism, but many others were oppressed minorities who looked upon Germany as a liberator against Communism or Western Imperialism.

The Germans fielded many ethnic based units:  Muslims, Cossacks, Croatians, Armenians, Georgians, Flemish, Dutch, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Danes, Estonians, Finnish, French, Indians, Latvians, Romanians, Hungarians and more.

Obama backs Muslim Brotherhood, cuts aid to Egypt's military

Obama Backs the Brotherhood

"People will see it as the United States dropping a friend.”

Officials and experts in Israel responded on with a mixture of disappointment and alarm to the news that the United States planned to reduce its military aid to Egypt.

Israel views the aid as part and parcel of its 1979 peace treaty with Egypt, and essential to the maintenance of stability in the region.

But one Israeli official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the delicate diplomacy involved, warned that the implications of punitive cuts in Egypt’s aid could go far beyond the issue of Israeli-Egyptian relations. The United States is playing with fire, he said in the New York Times.
      

“You cannot disassemble the peace treaty and take out this part or that part,” the official said. “But there are other elements in this conundrum. This is not just about Israel. This is about America’s standing in the Arab world.”

      

Noting that military aid is not just about tank shipments but also a sign of presence and commitment, he added: “If America is seen to be turning its back on Egypt, an old ally, how will it be seen? People will see it as the United States dropping a friend.”

 

 

Mohamed Soliman, student leader for the Constitution Party, said cutting aid would be "disastrous" for Egypt and U.S. allies in the region.

Egypt "can't fight this war alone — the war on terror, defending the state, trying to secure the border between Egypt and Libya and trying to stop the influx of jihadists to Sinai," he said. "They need equipment, training, international support."

The US is suspending a large part of the $1.3bn (£810m) in aid it gives to Egypt's military.

The delivery of large-scale military systems as well as cash assistance to the Egyptian government would be withheld, said the state department.

It said "credible progress" must be made towards free and fair elections says BBC News.

A review was launched in August after a crackdown by the authorities on supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi left hundreds of people dead.

"We will continue to hold the delivery of certain large-scale military systems and cash assistance to the government pending credible progress toward an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government through free and fair elections," state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

Officials said the freeze amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars in aid.

Washington also plans to halt a $260m cash transfer and a $300m loan guarantee. It is also halting the delivery of Apache helicopters, as well as Harpoon missiles and tank parts, officials said.
