Hajj Amine has become the favorite Palestinian of Zionists in recent years [of course, after their puppets Mahmoud Abass and Mohammad Dahlan.) Hajj Amine died decades ago, but his life has recently been revived by Zionist propagandists. He has been the source of numerous op-eds, an entire book and the Israeli foreign ministry recently commanded Israeli embassies to publicize a photo with the Hajj Amine meeting with Adolf Hitler. It is that photo - an effort to tarnish the Palestinian cause by creating a dubious link with Nazism - that has made Hajj Amine such a publicized Palestinian.

Israeli propagandists and their allies like to publicize the Hajj, but he was not a Palestinian figure. In fact, the Hajj is one of the least popular Palestinian personalities ever. But there is one man who initiated contact with the Nazis and remains a popular figure for one group of people: Yitzhak Shamir. Shamir is a late prime minister of Israel and terrorist who supported an alliance with the Nazis:

This fantasy of an alliance between neo-Stalinism and militant Zionism sounds familiar to those who have followed Shamir’s political career. During the 1940s, he was a leader of Lehi, a Jewish underground organization. It was known as the “Stern Gang” to British authorities, against whom it conducted terrorist acts in the Middle East throughout World War II while it attempted to develop alliances with fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Indeed, there was a major difference between Shamir’s Lehi and the Irgun Zvei Leumi, another underground extremist group. With the outbreak of World War II, the Irgun declared a cease-fire in its activities against British targets and some of its leaders joined British military and intelligence units to fight the Nazis. It resumed its anti-British attacks only after the tide had turned against the German-Italian axis.

Lehi, led by Avraham Stern until he was killed by the British, never abandoned its strong anti-British and anti-Western position, even as Nazi armies swept into nearby Greece and threatened Cairo. The group’s initial goal was to form an alliance between Zionism and the Axis Powers.

According to well-documented evidence collected by Hebrew University professor Yehuda Bauer, the Lehi leaders first approached representatives of fascist Italy and proposed a “Mediterranean Treaty,” according to which an independent Hebrew state in Palestine would help Italy achieve total strategic and commercial domination in the Mediterranean region.

When the overtures to the Italians elicited no serious response from Rome, Stern and his colleagues dispatched a representative to meet in Lebanon in early 1941 with a German agent. They later sent the German Embassy in Ankara a detailed proposal for Zionist-Nazi cooperation. The Lehi proposal offered to help the Germans force the British out of Palestine in return for permission to establish a Jewish state there to which European Jewry would be transferred by the Nazis. This fantastic plan emphasized the ‘’common nationalist and totalitarian bonds” between Nazi ideology and Lehi’s revisionist Zionism.

And if Israelis and Zionists are so offended by Arabs who met with Nazis - as I am - then why do they love and adore Egypt’s Sadat; for whom they have named institutions and chairs after him?

Sadat was an unrepentant Nazi until the day he dead. But Zionists are not opposed to alliances/support for Nazism and terrorism as long as it suits their ends. They go around highlighting an insignificant meeting by an unpopular Palestinian while ignoring an alliance proposal by a man who later went on to lead Israel.

It was naturally that the early Zionists wanted an alliance with fascism, they espouse the same ideas of ethnic nationalist, superiority and militarism as fascists. They themselves admitted the “common nationalist and totalitarian bonds.” They clearly have learned from them:
