\u201cNetanyahu: Hitler didn’t want to exterminate Jews\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

RT published Oct 21, 2015<\/span><\/p>\n

Netanyahu (0:25-): \u201cHitler didn\u2019t want to exterminate the Jews at the time [28 November 1941]; he wanted to expel the Jews.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

This statement by Israel\u2019s Prime Minister is profoundly false; the record is clear on this matter: Hitler merely played along with Hjalmar Schacht and others who favored expulsion of Jews in preference to annihilating them; Nazis who expected all Jews ultimately to leave Germany were a significant part of Hitler\u2019s constituency, and Hitler wanted their full cooperation at least until the \u201cfinal solution\u201d was beyond being any longer denied; he needed the services of all Nazis and of all Nazi-supporters, until he was ready to spring his trap (the extermination-program for Jews). <\/span><\/p>\n

Here is how I had discussed this matter, on pages 218-219 of my 2000 book Why the Holocaust Happened<\/i>:<\/span><\/p>\n

The consensus with which he started was only for the elimination of the Jews, which could mean either expulsion or extermination. (Sterilizing the Jews was ruled out by Hitler: as an alternative to extermination, it might have drawn too much support.) Expulsion obviously had to be presented as having been tried but failed; only then could the entire hierarchy unite behind Hitler\u2019s plan to carry out God\u2019s \u201cadmonition finally to put an end to the permanently continuous original sin of a race poisoning and to give the Almighty Creator beings as He Himself created them.\u201d Mere expulsion could provide no such assurance. But a display nonetheless had to be made.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

By January 1939, Hitler\u2019s official policy was for the expulsion of all Jews. By June 1940, it was for their expulsion specifically to Madagascar \u2014 a goal even less practicable than expulsion itself, since the \u201cMadagascar Plan\u201d required as prerequisites the defeat of both France and England, and could thus realistically not even be considered as a short-term measure which is what it was presented as being. Hitler knew better. And along the way, he skillfully set up numerous highly visible public displays of the unwillingness of foreign nations to accept the flood of dispossessed Jews that he was offering as refugees. (As Rudolph Binion noted in his 1976 Hitler Among the Germans, pp. 29-30, Hitler had even fired Reichsbank chief Hjalmar Schacht early in 1939 because Schacht had been too effective in promoting the expulsion of Jews; and both Binion, and Richard Breitman\u2019s 1991 The Architect of Genocide, pp. 50-1, documented that even Hitler had acknowledged that expulsion of Jews was really intended as nothing more than \u201cexporting anti-Semitism.\u201d) Hitler gleefully observed the embarrassment of other countries that proclaimed their opposition to anti-Semitism but that turned a cold shoulder to these desperate refugees. Hitler was trying expulsion; other nations just refused to receive what he was offering them. The United States, for example, not only did not increase its immigration-quota for Jews; it failed even to admit as many Jews as the official quota permitted. David S. Wyman\u2019s 1984 The Abandonment of<\/i> the Jews documents (pp. 100, 365, 410) the repeated refusal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to meet with Jewish leaders to deal with the problem, and also establishes the President\u2019s own personal knowledge of the Nazis\u2019 anti-Semitic exterminations. For Hitler, such international response was itself part of the \u201csleepwalking\u201d toward genocide. By the time of the Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942 to coordinate the actions of all state agencies involved with the \u201cfinal solution,\u201d all participants were reading their respective roles from a playbook written by none other than the F\u00fchrer himself. And by that time, they were all prepared for those roles \u2014 knew them by heart, actually. When three days later, on 23 January, Hitler in his Secret Conversations (Table-Talk) addressed Himmler sarcastically about the matter, Himmler understood very well what he meant by saying of his policy toward the Jews, \u201cI\u2019m extraordinarily humane. . . . But if they refuse to leave voluntarily, I see no other solution than extermination.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The Jews never were to be expelled; the entire world was to be made Judenrein.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is how universal Hitler\u2019s anti-Semitism was: As recounted in Gerald Fleming\u2019s 1984 Hitler and the Final Solution (p. 104), Hitler on 28 November 1941, promised the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem that, following the defeat of Britain, the Nazis would take care of \u201cthe Jews living in\u201d Palestine. Obviously, those Jews were not in Germany, and not even in Europe.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The universalism of this policy was, itself, a sign of its religious origin: Hitler, like any fundamentalist, was convinced of the universality of the moral principles that motivated him. This universalism was shared by the medieval Crusaders who had sought to win the world to God. For Hitler, it was not enough merely to \u201cpurify\u201d Germany; his vision was global because it was universal, founded upon the bedrock moral principles with which he had been raised. Adolf Hitler was a Crusader.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

One might reasonably be uncertain, however, regarding the extent to which Hitler was actually concerned with anyone\u2019s welfare but his own; after all, the Holocaust was his personal ticket to salvation \u2014 an eternity in heaven rather than in the Jews\u2019 hell where he would be surrounded by other \u201cpeople of the devil.\u201d If the cost of his ticket of eternal membership was to be the deaths of millions \u2014 not only Jews, but others that he viewed as imperfect, diseased, defective, and not such as to \u201cgive the Almighty Creator beings as He Himself created them\u201d \u2014 then so much the better; for all these were \u201cpeople of the devil\u201d; Hitler\u2019s God would smile upon his great service in carrying out upon them the vengeance of the Lord. The more horrifying that vengeance, the better.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

One possible hypothesis to explain Netanyahu\u2019s false assertion there, would be sheer ignorance of history on his part, but for Israel\u2019s long-serving head-of-state to be that ignorant of why the Holocaust happened, would mean he\u2019s a fool, and Netanyahu is a highly intelligent person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another possible hypothesis would be that he\u2019s driven by hatred of Muslims. This hypothesis is consistent with all the evidence regarding him, including that video-clip. The full video-clip shows Netanyahu saying (in this speech, which was delivered on 20 October 2015: \u201c[This attack and other attacks on the Jewish community in 1920, 1921, 1929]<\/i><\/span><\/a> were instigated by a call of the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who was later sought for war crimes, in the Nuremberg trials because he had a central role in fomenting the final solution, he flew to Berlin, Hitler didn\u2019t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews and Haj Amin al-Husseini said, \u2018If you expel them, then they\u2019ll all come here. So, what should I do with them,\u2019 he asked. He [Hitler] said, \u2018Burn them\u2019.\u201d<\/i> Netanyahu was there blaming the Holocaust on Muslims, not on Christians (even though it was actually planned and carried out not only by German Christians but by Christians in many other countries, which the Roman Catholic Hitler was leading in this entire vast enterprise). The idea that the Mufti, whom Hitler had never even met until so late as 28 November 1941, inspired him to commit the Holocaust, which had already actually started before that meeting, is ludicrous. A person as intelligent as Netanyahu, is almost certainly lying to assert it. Either that, or else he\u2019s insane.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the only surviving official record of what transpired at the Mufti-Hitler meeting, which was that of the Reich Chancellory<\/span><\/a>, Hitler and the Mufti actually discussed many things on that occasion, not only Jews, and there is no indication whatsoever that the promise for \u201cthe destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere\u201d after the anticipated Nazi win of WW II, came from the Mufti; it was instead, as described there, offered by Hitler to, and greatly appreciated by, the Mufti. Netanyahu\u2019s assertion that Hitler was asked by the Mufti, \u201cWhat should I do with them,\u201d and that Hitler instructed him \u201cBurn them,\u201d is pure fabrication, without basis in the only surviving record that was made at the time. The Christian Hitler had planned the Holocaust, and his plan for it included various stages; it didn\u2019t just appear to him all at once or as just one idea or one act \u2014 nor did the Mufti give the idea to him on 28 November 1941, nor ever<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s Minister of Justice is his long-time close friend and former aide, Ayelet Shaked, who is a blatantly racist hater of Palestinians, hardly different in her beliefs than Hitler was in his, except for what the target is<\/span><\/a>, and what the surrounding system of constraints is within which to be a successful politician, not only nationally, but also internationally. Netanyahu might himself be as racist against Palestinians as is his chosen Justice Minister. But, in any case, he\u2019s certainly a liar: Hitler, and not the Grand Mufti, planned and initiated and carried out the extermination of Jews.<\/span><\/p>\n

Victoria Richards wrote in Britain\u2019s Independent,<\/i> on 21 October 2015 (the same day as RT\u2019s video of that excerpt from the speech which had been delivered the prior day), an excellent article placing into a broader context Netanyahu\u2019s blaming the Holocaust on Muslims, headlining, \u201cNetanyahu’s claims that a Palestinian leader was to blame for the Holocaust have been debunked before:<\/span><\/a> In 2012, he described\u00a0Haj Amin al-Husseini\u00a0as ‘one of the leading architects\u00a0of the Final Solution’\u00a0in a\u00a0Knesset speech.\u201d In that speech, on 24 January 2012<\/span><\/a>, Netanyahu had said:<\/span><\/p>\n

Haj Amin al-Husseini was one of the architects of the Final Solution. He traveled to Berlin. He lobbied and implored Hitler, as was stated by Adolf Eichmann’s deputy at the Nuremberg trials, and this is documented in other sources, and persuaded him more than anyone else to carry out the Final Solution. Not to allow the Jews to leave lest they come here but to annihilate them, to incinerate them.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, on that occasion, Netanyahu had alleged that the idea to \u201cburn\u201d or \u201cincinerate\u201d the Jews didn\u2019t come from Hitler but from Husseini himself. At least, Netanyahu softened that lie, when he repeated it three years later. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, even the racist-fascist (or ideologically nazi \u2014 meaning not necessarily a member of Germany\u2019s Nazi Party, but any<\/i> follower of the racist-fascist ideology it represented, and this ideological<\/i> term \u201cnazi\u201d refers also to KKK, etc., including bigoted Jews, such as) Netanyahu \u2014 even Israel\u2019s current racist-fascist Prime Minister \u2014 doesn\u2019t allege that Hitler and Husseini had ever met together prior<\/i> to 28 November 1941. And, Hitler\u2019s mass-killing centers were already operating prior to “Weimar, Nov. 25, ’41 8:58 a.m\u201d<\/span><\/a> (that\u2019s three days prior to the Mufti-Hitler meeting) when Dr. Friedrich Mennecke, at Buchenwald, wrote, to his wife, telling her that the killing of \u201c1200 Jews\u201d had been done in Buchenwald that day, November 25th, without even examining the \u201cpatients,\u201d but instead as \u201ca purely theoretical job\u201d (i.e., on the basis of racist-fascist ideology); and, that, in addition, \u201cAfter the Jews come about 300 Aryans as 3rd portion, who again will have to be \u2018examined\u2019,\u201d before they, too, might (perhaps the next day) be declared unfit to live, and sent directly to slaughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whereas the famous Hitler-apologist David Irving<\/span><\/a> says that Hitler wasn\u2019t to blame for the Holocaust because Goebbels had somehow inspired him to do it if it had been done at all, Benjamin Netanyahu says that Hitler wasn\u2019t to blame for the Holocaust because the Mufti had somehow inspired Hitler to do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Netanyahu is almost certainly not as stupid as he pretends to be, but he apparently knows that his voters are \u2014 and, for an extremely successful far-right Prime Minister, this is (based upon the available evidence) all that really matters to him. It\u2019s a successful tactic to help whip-up, amongst Israel\u2019s Jews, the hatred of Muslims, that had earlier been expressed by Netanyahu\u2019s now chosen-and-serving Minister of Justice, Ayelet Shaked. This is Netanyahu\u2019s way of spreading to other Israelis his own type of nazism (against Muslims, especially in Israel), which is already common enough in Israel to have gotten him elected as that nation\u2019s leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 21 October 1941, a month prior to meeting with the Mufti<\/i>, Hitler, in the privacy of his bunker, concluded a long tirade against Jews (as transcribed in his Table-Talk<\/i><\/span><\/a>) by saying: \u201cBy exterminating this pest, we shall do humanity a service of which our soldiers can have no idea.\u201d Hitler\u2019s buddy, Himmler, stated, in a speech to top SS leaders<\/span><\/a>, two years later, when the Holocaust was in full swing, on 4 October 1943, that this extermination was necessary for them to carry out, in order to have \u201cexterminated a bacterium because we do not want in the end to be infected by the bacterium and die of it.\u201d Hitler had stated, on various occasions, that the \u201cJewish infection\u201d or \u201cJewish bacterium\u201d or \u201cblood-poisoning by Jews,\u201d was transmitted to non-Jews in their \u201cblood,\u201d and so Jews must be entirely eradicated like plague-carrying rats \u2014 not only in Germany, but beyond. Hitler said, on 24 February 1943<\/span><\/a>: \u201cThis fight will not end with the planned annihilation of the Aryan [which to him meant the descendants of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3] but with the extermination of the Jew [which to him meant the descendants of the snake in Genesis 3] in Europe. Beyond this, thanks to this fight, our movement\u2019s world of thought will become the common heritage of all people.\u201d Hitler had gotten his idea of the \u201cThousand-Year Reich\u201d from Revelation 20:1-7. To him it came from \u201cThe Bible \u2014 Monumental History of Mankind,\u201d which told this \u201cHistory\u201d not merely past, but also future, even beyond the next thousand years. One could say that it was Hitler\u2019s sect of Christianity, but nothing really was original in it. And it certainly wasn\u2019t Muslim (such as Netanyahu repeatedly suggests it to have been).<\/span><\/p>\n

To Hitler, Palestinians were fighting the good fight, regardless of what<\/i> their motivation for it was. He didn\u2019t care what the Mufti\u2019s motivation was (and it was far different from Hitler\u2019s on this matter), but only that the Palestinians would keep up, and be determined to win, their war against that territory\u2019s Jews. <\/span><\/p>\n

False statements are common from all fascists, including Netanyahu, but the history here is clear. The history on this matter is incontrovertible. It is not in dispute. All that is even in question is whether Netanyahu is a liar, or whether instead he\u2019s insane. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, whatever he is, his apologetics for Hitler are especially understandable from him if he, Netanyahu, is seen as being an ideological brother-in-arms of Hitler \u2014 two racist-fascists \u2014 and consequently as Netanyahu \u2018justifying\u2019 himself thereby, and not only as his expressing a surprisingly sympathetic view regarding the actual initiator, planner, and overseer, of the anti-Jewish Holocaust. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is no reason why a Jew cannot be also a nazi \u2014 but only an uncapitalized one, only an ideological<\/i> nazi. There can be (and are) racist fascists in all ethnicities, religions, and nations, and against any ethnicity, religion, or nation. Actual good and evil aren\u2019t properties of any of them. The claim that they are, that some groups are morally superior to other groups, is a basic part of their common Big Lie, because all truthful evaluations are about individual persons instead of about any groups they belong to. And that Big Lie \u2014 the allegation that some groups are better than others, that moral attributes (\u201cbetter than\u201d or \u201cworse than\u201d) belong to groups instead of only<\/i> to individuals \u2014 might be as common today, as it was then. Israel\u2019s current Prime Minister is merely an example of it. Hitler thought that non-Jews are better than Jews. Netanyahu thinks that Jews are better than non-Jews. But it\u2019s all false. And the lie was common enough in 1930s Germany, and in today\u2019s Israel, to have gotten both Hitler and Netanyahu elected to lead their nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, too, the Nazis who tried to kill Hitler were heroes, and the Jews who try to shift Hitler\u2019s blame onto others are the opposite \u2014 simply Jewish nazis \u2014 regardless of whether they are liars, or insane.<\/span><\/p>\n

Victims and perpetrators of nazism \u2014 racist fascism \u2014 can be of any ethnicity, religion, or etc. No one is safe from nazism, and all nazis need to lie in order to succeed, because racist fascism simply cannot be based upon truth. It\u2019s not just Hitler and other racist Christians against Jews, and Netanyahu and other racist Jews against Muslims. For example, another lying far-right Christian, Stephen Bannon, of Donald Trump\u2019s campaign and Administration, is explicitly bigoted against Muslims, not against Jews \u2014 he is a Roman Catholic like Hitler, but an anti-Muslim like Netanyahu, and this was shown on 11 August 2017 by Peter Maass at The Intercept, headlining \u201cSteve Bannon Said He Learned to Fear Muslims When He Visited Pakistan. Except He Was Probably in Hong Kong.\u201d<\/span><\/a> And, to cite yet another religion, Hinduism: on 13 July 2017, Prem Singh, of the Socialist Party of India, bannered \u201cThe Implications of Ramnath Kovind\u2019s Presidency\u201d<\/span><\/a>, and he noted that India\u2019s conservative BJP party and the RSS Hindu-nationalist movement were uniting, and Singh wrote that:<\/span><\/p>\n

The governor of Tripura recently tweeted that Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, founder of Jan Sangh, had suggested that Hindu-Muslim strife could only be resolved through civil war. A civil war for a Muslim-free India may seem far-fetched right now; but \u2026 the way educated, well off\/cultured Hindus are falling easy victims to Islamophobia, it doesn\u2019t seem like they have learnt any lessons from the tragedy of Partition. Emotional claims about family and children will not hold against civil war. Hasn\u2019t Modi left his family, and even his wife, for the \u2018Hindu Rashtra\u2019? As the noose of neo-imperialism tightens, the hate-mongering against Muslims and Christians will also rise. Other minority religious communities will also get caught in this hate mania. The failure to become either modern or world citizens, will be compensated by BJP-RSS by installing \u2018Hindu president\u2019, \u2018Hindu prime minister\u2019, \u2018Hindu government\u2019, \u2018Hindu development\u2019, \u2018Hindu technology\u2019, \u2018Hindu knowledge\u2019 and so on, in the \u2018Hindu Rashtra\u2019. \u2026 The RSS will gun for its long-awaited agenda of dispossessing the Muslims, already dispossessed of democracy.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The lies, and the targets, and the victims, differ; but the ideology is the same: racist fascism. It\u2019s common in many countries.<\/span><\/p>\n
