Setting the Record Straight: Hajj Amin and the Nazis | Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Legacies of Hajj Amin al-Husseini’s work are still with us. The broadcasts of Radio Zeissen, the Mufti’s propaganda station, resonate in the 1988 Hamas covenant, and indeed still reverberate throughout our region. So do the recurrent references to Nazi imagery and texts in the Palestinian public domain. To demand a proper historical reckoning is therefore not to „demonize“ the Palestinian people but to treat them, for a change, as adults capable of coping with a culture of responsibility.
