From Berlin to Gaza: How Haj Amin al-Husseini’s Alliance with Nazi Germany Forged the Roots of Islamist Anti-Semitism Still Echoing in 2025.
Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, didn’t just admire Hitler—he actively helped Nazi Germany spread genocidal antisemitism across the Arab world. Discover how his ideology outlived the Reich and still poisons the path to peace.
While Europe reckons with the Holocaust, the Arab world has largely buried the role of one of its most infamous collaborators: Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He wasn’t just an ideological ally to Hitler—he was his broadcast partner, his recruiter, his cheerleader. And tragically, his toxic legacy still infects the Middle East.
Husseini’s hatred of Jews wasn’t political—it was fanatical. Long before the Holocaust, he framed Zionism as a religious war. In 1937, he called Jews “Islam’s most bitter enemy” and demanded total opposition to any Jewish homeland. These ideas weren’t fringe—they were broadcast to millions across the Arab world by Nazi radio.
When Hitler was gassing Jews in Europe, Husseini was in Berlin begging him not to spare a single Jewish child.
He didn’t just oppose immigration—he wanted extermination. He helped raise Muslim SS divisions in the Balkans. He urged Arabs to “kill Jews wherever you find them.” These are not conspiracy theories—they’re documented history.
Yet after the war, there was no trial. No reckoning. Husseini slipped away and became a “founding father” of Palestinian nationalism. His spiritual heirs in Hamas and Hezbollah still echo his fusion of jihad and Jew-hatred. From the Muslim Brotherhood to Al Qaeda to ISIS, his blueprint is everywhere: total war framed as holy war.
In 2025, as rockets fly over Gaza and radicals chant the same slogans Husseini once whispered into Nazi microphones, his fingerprints are unmistakable. Al-Aqsa under threat? He invented that narrative. No compromise, no co-existence? Straight from his playbook.
Forget revisionism. The Grand Mufti wasn’t misunderstood. He was a wartime fascist, a genocide enabler, and a pioneer of Islamist antisemitism.
And the world is still paying for the lies he helped turn into legacy.
