What has the on-going war between Palestine/Hamas and Israel got to do with the political alliance forged among the Third Reich leaders, Arab nationalists and Islamic fundamentalist about 93 years ago?
What has it to do with the bombing of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in US and what type of seeds did Al-Husseini, Adolf Hitler and Osama bin-Laden planted in the schism?
It is important that we view the present war historically in order to understand its staying powers, and why it is likely to be eternal.
The unpublished history of happenstance in the Middle East over the past 100 years are slowly emerging for all to see.
As if it was an agreement between the rulers of the Arab nations and the Western powers, most cogent factor and unadultrated truths about significant events and their key players before the World War 11, the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel as a nation were effectively suppressed.
Even the post 9/11 letter written by late Osama bin- Laden on why 9/11 attack was planned and executed was also effectively suppressed by the powers and in collusion with the press; up until recently when it came into the open.
To these ends, let’s have a peep into the pandora box in order to know and understand some of the fact rooted, germinated and producing evil effect of the war going on between Israel and Palestine/Hamas presently.
One important influencer who was highly committed to pan~Arabism that we must take into consideration even though he died in Beirut 49 years ago was named Amin Al-Husaini or Amin Al-Husseini.
He received education in Islamic, Ottomans and Catholic School around the 1912s.
He migrated to an Islamic Minaret in Cairo under the tutelage of Salafist theologian, Muhammad Rasheed Rida and from there he joined the Ottoman Army in World War 1.
Nobody knew exactly why his position as a pan-Arabist waned and why he started a local movement to materialize his anti-Zionism agenda, but that is exactly what he did in 1920 having moved from Damascus back to his home in Jerusalem.
In the same year (1920) he was implicated in the Nebi Musa riot and was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for incitement but was later pardoned by the British Authorities in 1921.
However, during the World War 11, he collaborated with the then Fascist Italy and Nazis in Germany by recruiting Bosnian Muslims for the German Waffen-SS. He later met Adolf Hitler in person and gave Hitler a proposal: “Back Arabs for Independence and help by opposing the establishment of a Jewish national home in the British Palestine”
However Hitler lost the war and the deal was also lost. Ironically it was the French government that protected him as a refugee in Cairo to avoid prosecution for war crimes against the Jews.
Let us remember that in 1947, the United Nation came up with a partition plan and King Abdulah proposed the annexation of Arab-Palestine to Jordan.
It was Al Hussaini who forcefully opposed it using his personally built militia called; al Jihad al Muqaddas.
He then went ahead to establish an “All Palestine Government”.
He lived in Egypt and ruled Gaza with iron fist. Same system Hamas is using presently.
After much criticism by other Arab countries Gamal Abdul Nasser moved against him and his Militia in 1959.
Meanwhile, in 1964, the Palestine Liberation Organization(PLO) was established to literally continue where he left but eventually Amin Huseini was sidelined. Nevertheless, by his fierce armed opposition to existence of Zionism and relentless teaching and preaching to younger elements on the “holy duty” to annihiliate Jews he sowed a seed of evil into the mind and heart of his vast followers which will be impossible to wash off for life.
Further more by supporting the Holocaust and recruiting religious authorities and large number of Arab Nationalists to work against Europeans and Middle East Jews by assassination and sabotage even after the war, the Jews are likely to see every attrition and war as existential and eternal.
As l wrote earlier, the cause of the recent war has its roots deep in the horror of Holocaust. How so? Holocaust, meaning the systematic state sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women and children by Adolf Hitler nay, Nazi Germany and it’s fascist collaborators during the World War 11 was perhaps the main accelerator of the establishment of the Jewish state in the British colonized Palestine area in the Middle East.
What really happened?
Adolf Hitler became the head of the coalition government in Germany on January 30, 1933.
His first agenda was to consolidate power. That means elimination of all political opposition and the sponsors .
By April 1933, he ordered the first assault against the Jews by boycotting Jewish businesses and dismissing them from the civil service.
The Third Reich even restricted them from participation in Germany schools by a quota system. By May 10th 1933, thousands of Nazi student, in the company of lecturers and professors went into book stores and university libraries in about 30 Germany cities and removed thousands of Jewish books and others.
And by September 15, 1935, a law was promulgated “termed” law for the protection of Germany Honour, which eventually became the centerpiece of anti Jewish legislation and the main precedent for defining and categorizing Jews in all Germany controlled lands.
To the extent that marriage and sexual relation between Jews and Germany Reich citizens were strictly forbidden and prohibited by law.
In a well planned move on the evening of November 9, 1938, an anti Jewish Violence erupted throughout the Germany including Austria.
More than 1000 synagogues were burned and more than 7,500 business places were looted and destroyed.
Also, about 30,000 Jewish men were arrested for no reasons other than they were Jews and sent to concentration camps.
According to the recently unsealed wartime record of the office of strategic service, now call Central intelligence Agency (CIA), over 5000 letter written by Jews and routed to a joint us British censorship agency in Bermuda showed the continued suffering of European Jews and more important some of the documents revealed that Hitler did not make a decision to kill the Jews until 1941.
According to recent researches, Hitler was contended on pushing all Jews out of Germany territory. Hitler’s plan to send all the Jews to Africa, precisely Madagascar was shot down by the British authorities who were the colonial master of Madagascar at that time.
As new facts are being revealed, it’s now clear that neither the British nor the American were ready to accept Jews as refugees and refused totally to make deals with Hitler on receiving Jews into their territories.
Meanwhile, Hitler and Germany hoping that by increasing the presecution of the Jews, US and British would accept the “flood” of refugees, was to no avail.
Alas! Hitler and vast majority of German people came up with the “final solution”
Gas Chambers were built and millions were gassed to death or shot in mass killing fields.
The horrific event must have accelerated the partition of British Palestine and the subsequent establishment of the States of Israel by proclamation read by David Ben Gurion on May 14, 1948 .
On that very day, United States President Harry S. Truman was the first to recognize her as an independent nation.
Meanwhile, in 1947 United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 181 known as Partition Resolution that would divide Jewish and Arab states.
This very resolution ignited the fire of war in the region right on the eve of Israel Declaration of Independence (May 13 precisely).
In a swift reaction, all Arab nations surrounding Israel launched air attacks on Tel Aviv. The air attack was followed by ground invasion of the partitioned territory of Israel by Arab armies from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon.
In just six days, all the invading Arab countries were decisively defeated without external help from any other nation.
It is pertinent to to understand that although the US did not participate in the 1948 war, nevertheless, she supported the creation of a Jewish State. Indeed it took over a decade (1962) of Israel existence before the relationship between Israel and US became solid.
As of fact, it was after the 1967 war that the US began to take Israel serious. This is so because of the strategic and tactical superiority and even the alacrity of the Israel army in another defeat of the coalition of Arab armies.
In this war, Israel gained more territories including Gaza strips and the West Bank.

It is worth saying in my own opinion that it is the strategic interest of the US that caused her commitment to become a staunch ally of Israel.
In the first place, US was concerned about the growing “Soviet” influence in the region.
Also, because America assessed the prowess, the war strategies and combat tactics of Israel as well as their intelligence gathering to be superb.
Especially, at a time when they were bugged down and in mess in Vietriam.
Secondly, they must have felt bad for not playing more decisive role in helping Israel avoid the Holocaust after the fact.
They saw the magnitude of the genocide that took place literally and it became unanimous on either side of the aisle and in the opinion of general public that such a tragedy must be avoided at all costs.
Currently, Israel receives $3.8 billion in military aid from the US annually under a memorandum signed in 2019 and accounting for about 16% of Israel total military budget in 2022.

Presently, Israel has developed advanced manufacturing capabilities to the extent that except for F- 16 and F-35 fighter jets, there are few weapon that Israel could not produce. Her famed super short range missile defense system named Iron Dome was implemented in 2011.
The system uses some US constructed part and was funded in part by the US.
These and more are reasons why Osama Bin Laden and his group planned and executed the bombing of World Trade Center, the Pentagon.
The terror attack is popularly tagged 9/11 attack.
Here is an excerpt of Bin Laden letter which was widely suppressed by the world press and western government for years.
“The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. you must know that the Palestinian do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.”
Bin Laden as you must know subscribed to the Athari school of Islamic ideology.
He was literally immersed in the writing of the Egyptian militant Islamic scholar Said Qulb.
He is also an irredentist follower of Al-Hussaini, and identified himself with Salafism and Wahhabism .
It is not clear when he made up his mind against Israel and the US but it is clear he was adequately funded.
To wit, he inherited around $25 or $30 billion from his family fortune.
He studied economics and business administration at King Abdulahi University and was brought up as a devout Sunni Muslim.
Several sources alleged he has ties with the US in insurgent training, especially for his faction of Afghan-Arab fighters which he founded and and later metamorphosed into Al-Qaida in the late 1980.
The on-going war between Israel and Palestine/Hamas is too complex to fanthom in terms of governments, corporate organizations agencies and individual billionaires that are supporting each side.
To be factual,almost 100% of Israelites, both at home and abroad are in support of Israel war effort to destroy Hamas. Recent polls also shored that 82% of Palestinians are in support of Hamas and the idea of alienation of the Jewish state. Therefore for both parties, the war is existential and eternal in nature.
