When Mattar discusses the Mufti's support for the extermination of European Jewry he mainly refers to Zionist accusations of incriminating letters sent by al-Hajj Amin to some Nazi leaders. He refers to the version of those letters that are found in Israel's State Archives and notes that the Zionist documents against the Mufti were not taken seriously by the British (p . 106). He has ignored, however, al-Hājj Amin's own provision of copies of his correspondance with Himmler, Ribbentrop and their likes, in the early-1970s version of his memoirs. The Muftī had claimed that those letters - designated to prevent East - European Jewish refugees from coming to Palestine and suggest instead their transfer to death - camps in Poland were a legitimate act in the Arab struggle against the Jewish National Home in Palestine....

Yet one wonders about the absence of certain items from his bibliographical list: ' Arif al -- Ārif's al - Nakba , Ahmad Shuqayri's memoirs ( particularly ' Arba'ün ' āma fī al - ḥayāt al - ' arabiyya wa'l - dawliyya ) , ' Alī al - Muḥāfaça's al' Alaqāt al - almaniyya al - filassiniyya 1841–1945 , ` Ajāj Nuwayhid's articles on the Mufti in Adib , Martin Kamer's Islam Assembledp[ and Francis Nicosia's The Third Reich and the Palestine Question. There are also other works such as Kupferschmidt's (previously mentioned) or Khayriyya Qasimiyya's Mudhakkirāt Fawzi al - Qawuqjī , that are mentioned in the bibliography but are scarcely – if at all referred to in the study's end notes .

Palestinian Leaders Source Of Affliction, they Lost The Land Sold Their People

Palestinian Leaders Source Of Affliction, they Lost The Land... Sold Their People Jun 24, 2018 By Ahmed al-Jarallah Editor-in-chief, the Arab Times WHEN failures engulf the most rightful case in the world, it is a no brainer for them to end in failure. This applies to the Palestinian case in which the elites have been the source of the affliction of their people throughout the past century, starting with how they dealt with the Balfour Declaration through the Arab denial mentality and then aligning themselves with the losing side — the Ottoman Empire. At the time, the Palestinian leaders opted to move against the major power and drag the British colonialist into the battlefield by attacking its soldiers and boycotting its administration, in addition to accusing anyone who talked to Britain of being a mercenary or traitor. Throughout the 37 decisive years between Balfour Declaration and the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, the Palestinian leaders dealt with the me

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

Parker T. Hart, "Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership," Indiana University Press, 1998, p.167 He had managed in 1962 to send on vacation ” the headstrong Saudi UN permanent representative , Ahmad Shukairi. Under King Saud, Shukairi had been accustomed to largely having his own way in representing Saudi positions before the United Nations. These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167
