PART TWO

COMPARISONS OF ISRAEL WITH NAZIS AND FASCISTS

• "Jerusalemites and any other Muslim who is able to reach the gates of the Al-Aqsa mosque for Friday prayers must report to the Israeli police at the gates to hand in his ID to be checked and on many occasions is prevented from entry or even arrested. This of course should remind the Europeans of Nazi occupation by Nazi soldiers surrounding churches and places of worship during the Second World War. Israeli practices in many aspects are equal with, if not more brutal than, those practiced by occupying Nazi soldiers dealing with French-Dutch citizens during the Second World War."
        --- PA Information Ministry press release, December 10, 1997
• "We must not lay aside the blade of the Palestinian struggle which we grasp with Arab and international support, a blade with which we must struggle to shatter the two elements in the Likud’s ideology: the racist-Torah part and the nationalist-fascist part. This is our fate."
       --- PA Minister for Refugee Affairs Assad Abdel Rahman in an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, December 6, 1997
• "The occupation forces have imposed a siege on the camp of Al-Aroub… whose children set new records in their opposition to the acts of the occupation with the little stones they throw from behind the wire fences dozens of meters in height which… show the world the Nazism of the occupation at the end of the 20th century, in an era known as ‘the era of peace’… Al-Aroub residents tell the story of one of the crimes of ‘Nazism in a period of peace’…."
        --- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, December 8, 1997
• "…the Arab sees with his own eyes an Israeli occupation in Palestine, the Golan and Lebanon, which can not be compared to any occupation in this century except the Nazi occupation..."
        --- from an article in the Palestinian daily Al-Quds, November 17, 1997
• "We must act on the international level in the framework of a detailed information plan which will expose the Zionist-Colonialist plot and its goals, which destroy not only our people but the entire world."
       --- PA Agriculture Minister Abdel Jawad Saleh in an interview with the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, November 6, 1997
• "Just as Hitler’s Mein Kampf was a warning sign for his future political path which brought disaster on Germany and the world, so Netanyahu’s A Place Among the Nations explains all of the author’s initiatives since he took power in Israel… The racist curses against the enemy and the legendary praises of himself make a noticeable point of similarity between Hitler’s and Netanyahu’s books… Netanyahu tries to calm Jewish fears about the demographic superiority and the natural Arab birth rates in Palestine… He does not refer to the means he will employ to achieve the goal of a reduction of the Arab birth rate… In this point we are reminded of Hitler’s statements about the sterilization of undesired segments of the population."
       --- from an article by Nahid Munir Al-Rayyis, a member of the PA’s Legislative Council (Al-Quds, October 15, 1997)
• "This reminds me of Goebbels (Hitler’s pro da minister) who said ‘tell lies and lies, and in the end they will believe you.’ The same is true of the Jews. It is a disgrace that they are issuing an arrest warrant against me. Apparently they have learned Goebbels’ methods."
       --- PA Police Chief Ghazi Jabali, in reaction to the arrest warrant issued against him by Israel for his involvement in terrorist attacks (Maariv, September 12, 1997)
• "The appearance of the Zionist movement prompted the emergence of terrorist, racist ideologies, such as, the Nazi ideology. There is great similarity between the two ideologies: the Zionists believe that they are "God’s Chosen People," and that other nations were created to be used and ridiculed... the Zionist Jews claim that they hate the nations since they persecute them out of jealousy of their wisdom, their success and their being God’s chosen. Similarly, the Nazis claim that the Aryans are the chosen and the pure and that anti-Semitism is the punishment of the Jewish Germans who betrayed their country... Of course the similarity between the two racist ideologies - the Zionist and the Nazi - is obvious and the despicable racial content of each of them is clear. The Zionist movement, as well as Nazism, believes that it represents the absolute truth that must be maintained, otherwise it will lose its value. .. The Nazi ideology pushed the world into the hell of the Second World War...and during the war applied all forms of terrorism, exactly as the Zionists are doing now. After the passing of one hundred years since the establishment of Zionism, here comes Benyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist enemy, and presents a Nazi formula when he says that "peace between Israel and the Arabs must be based on the principle of Israeli strength." Since its establishment, the racist Zionist entity has been implementing various forms of terrorism on a daily basis which are a repetition of the Nazi terror. This proves the shared roots of Nazi and Zionist thought. This also explains the cooperation between the Jews and the Nazis during World War II, through which were revealed the forged claims of the Zionists regarding alleged acts of slaughter perpetrated against the Jews during the same period… There is no difference between Hitler and Ben-Gurion, and if there was a difference at all, it was one of quantity and not one of substance. Anyone who investigates the crimes of the Zionists… discovers explicitly the complementary traits between Zionism, which is a racist terrorist movement, and the Nazi movement."
       --- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, September 3, 1997

• "Netanyahu was blinded by the tyranny of power and is interested in total Palestinian and Arab surrender to his unlimited desires... perhaps in the European style of the German armies so that he will be able to impose greater Israel and establish the superiority of the Hebrew race..."
       --- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, August 17, 1997
• "While the Israeli government is speaking about the atrocities committed against the Jews at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Dachau concentration camps... it is directly involved these days in weaving plots and causing two major catastrophes to their neighbors... Our homeland was transformed into a big concentration camp..."
        --- from a PA Information Ministry press release, April 22, 1997

HOLOCAUST DENIAL

• "Since its establishment, the racist Zionist entity has been implementing various forms of terrorism on a daily basis which are a repetition of the Nazi terror… This also explains the cooperation between the Jews and the Nazis during World War II, through which were revealed the forged claims of the Zionists regarding alleged acts of slaughter perpetrated against the Jews during the same period…"
       --- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, September 3, 1997
• "Moderator: It is well-known that every year the Jews exaggerate what the Nazis did to them. They claim there were 6 million killed, but precise scientific research demonstrates that there were no more than 400,000. Has the complex which the Jews have as a result of the Nazis’ actions created within them psychological burdens which they are now releasing against the Palestinians?

  Palestinian author Hassan Al-Agha: The truth is I do not think so. Psychological baggage after 40 or 50 years… I am skeptical… But I do think that we are talking about an investment. They have profited materially, spiritually, politically and economically from the talk about the Nazi killings. This investment is favorable to them and they view it as a profitable activity so they inflate the number of victims all the time. In another ten years, I do not know what number they will reach, Last year, for the first time, a statistic appeared according to which 1 ½ million children were killed by the Nazis. This number was not previously known… If this number was indeed correct, then someone would certainly have remembered it… In my opinion, it is an investment, and as you know, when it comes to economics and investments, the Jews have been very experienced ever since the days of the Merchant of Venice."
       --- from a cultural affairs program broadcast on the official PA television station on August 25, 1997.

• "At the end of our period of imprisonment the time passed very slowly. We felt as if we were being burned. Imagine...the Jews are saying: "The Nazis burned us in gas chambers." That is a false tale, but at times I felt that we were those who were being burned up within the walls..."
       --- Abir Al-Wahidi, female Fatah terrorist released in February 1997, in an interview with the official PA television station, February 13, 1997

LIBELOUS ACCUSATIONS

• "Maher al-Dasuki, head of the Palestinian Consumer Protection Council, said that spoiled corn oil is being distributed in the West Bank. According to al-Dasuki, the oil is marketed after having been smuggled in from Israel, where the plastic bottle is refilled a second time inside the settlements and then distributed with the help of collaborators…Al-Dasuki emphasized that residents must be on guard regarding chocolate produced in England, and especially that of Cadbury, which is widely available on Palestinian markets, since they make use of milk tainted with the ‘Mad Cow’ disease. Al-Dasuki said that the sale of such chocolate is forbidden in Britain, but Israeli merchants have smuggled it into the Palestinian areas and they entice people to buy it via the teacups distributed for free along with the purchase of each pack."
        --- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, December 8, 1997
• "Abd Al-Fatah Hamid, the Head of the Control and Inspection Department in the PA Ministry of Supplies, said that a committee will work ...against spoiled goods and food supplies, which are one of Israel's means in its war against Palestinian society. Hamid said that the source of most of the spoiled food was the settlements, and pointed to the fact that the Ministry puts much effort in tracking the settlements and those smuggling spoiled food."
        --- from an article in the Palestinian daily Al-Ayyam, October 29, 1997
• "In order to establish the Temple in place of the Al-Aqsa mosque, Israel employed different methods starting with arson attempts, destruction, and the digging of tunnels… and ending with the creation of artificial earthquakes that can be triggered from afar which will undermine its foundations and will destroy it—and then Israel will not permit its renovation… but will use the opportunity to complete its destruction and to establish the [Jewish] Temple in its place…"
       --- from an article entitled "Al-Aqsa Surrounded by Conspiracies" in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, October 26, 1997
• "The failed attempt to assassinate Khaled Mish’al in Aman raises many questions… In light of the use of a chemical agent in the attempted assassination and in light of repeated reports in the Israeli press itself about medical experiments conducted on Palestinian prisoners, the human rights organizations are being called upon today… to re-examine the cases of unexplained deaths in Israeli jails and the cases of prisoners who died of unknown diseases."
        --- from an article in the Palestinian daily Al-Quds, October 15, 1997
• "There is an Israeli mafia which is distributing spoiled food products under the aegis of Israeli generals in the territories of the Palestinian Authority… they are distributors of death."
       --- PA Deputy Minister of Supplies Abdel Hamid al-Qudsi in a speech before businessmen at the Chamber of Commerce in Tulkarem (Itim news agency, July 9, 1997)
• "Israel is distributing food containing material that causes cancer and hormones that harm male virility and other spoiled food products in the Palestinian Authority’s territories in order to poison and harm the Palestinian population. We absolutely feel that it is an organized plan and conspiracy which is under the auspices of the Israel Defense Forces… this is a planned and initiated war against the Palestinian people."
       --- PA Deputy Minister of Supplies Abdel Hamid al-Qudsi in a newspaper interview, Yediot Aharonot, June 25, 1997

• "Since the very beginning of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Israeli governments were anxious to apply the most dangerous ethnic cleansing theory against the Palestinian people. According to their racist ideology, the Israeli policy makers were dedicated to capturing a land without a people for a people without a land."
        --- PA Information Ministry press release, March 29, 1997
