Schwanitz <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Blurb:<br />During the 1930s and 1940s, a unique and lasting political alliance was forged among Third Reich leaders, Arab nationalists, and Muslim religious authorities. From this relationship sprang a series of dramatic events that, despite their profound impact on the course of World War II, remained secret until now. In this groundbreaking book, esteemed Middle East scholars Barry Rubin and Wolfgang G. Schwanitz uncover for the first time the complete story of this dangerous alliance and explore its continuing impact on Arab politics in the twenty-first century. Rubin and Schwanitz reveal, for example, the full scope of Palestinian leader Amin al-Husaini’s support of Hitler’s genocidal plans against European and Middle Eastern Jews. In addition, they expose the extent of Germany’s long-term promotion of Islamism and jihad. Drawing on unprecedented research in European, American, and Middle East archives, many recently opened and never before written about, the authors offer new insight on the intertwined development of Nazism and Islamism and its impact on the modern Middle East. <br /><br />Barry Rubin is director of the Global Research in International Affairs Center of the Interdisciplinary Center, Israel. He is the author of many books and publishes frequently on Middle East topics. He lives in Tel Aviv, Israel. Middle East historian Wolfgang G. Schwanitz is visiting professor at the Global Research in International Affairs Center of the Interdisciplinary Center, Israel, and an associate fellow at the Middle East Forum of Pennsylvania. He lives in New Jersey.<br />Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-61728608761231217652013-11-10T03:35:26.319+11:002013-11-10T03:35:26.319+11:00Anyone can see Europe is past the tipping point. A...Anyone can see Europe is past the tipping point. And if we take an historical view, we will conclude that the only period which stands out, the only period which is abnormal is the brief period from say 1947-67 where Europe wasn't rabidly genocidally antisemitic. Jew hating and Jew killing is the norm in Europe, it always has been and frankly, just like the Arab states will even escalate AFTER all the Jews in Europe are gone. With ~ a million Jews left in Europe you have to accept that at most only half of them would ever leave. When they do, the half million remaining will persist for a generation and then wink out. Jack Straw and Ashton and all the rest can sing a little song and dance a little dance. But the truly odd thing, at least the thing the Straws and Ashton's will never anticipate is that in a very real way the Jews of Europe are a kind of firebreak. Once they're gone, the final collapse into a Medieval Islamic caliphate will be in a wink. Once it becomes not only acceptable for Europe to ethnically cleanse itself of the Jews, once it's encouraged by those states, the rest as they, is just commentary.
