I'm confused. I thought Abbas, Fatah and the PLO didn't like President Trump.
In another demonization of US President Trump because of his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Movement compared Trump to Hitler,
Is this supposed to be flattery?
Last time I checked, Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO boss who runs the Palestinian Authority, wrote his thesis on Holocaust denial. (He was for it.)
Research by the Center for Near East Policy Research Center has found that the doctoral dissertation of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas “stars” throughout the Palestinian Authority educational curriculum, and “is the basis for Holocaust studies in the PA.”
The doctorate was published as a book in 1984, entitled,"The Other Side: the Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism.” It was completed in 1982 at a university in Communist Russia, and was defended at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
It downgrades the number of Holocaust victims to “[possibly] below one million,” and accuses Zionist leaders of encouraging the persecution of Jews.
It also denies that the gas chambers were used to murder Jews, quoting a "scientific study" to that effect by French Holocaust-denier Robert Faurisson.
Also there's a Hitler in Fatah.
A terrorist known in his hometown as “Hitler” – both for his physical resemblance to the German dictator and for his policies – has swept local primaries and will represent his district for the ruling Fatah party in upcoming Palestinian legislative elections, according to Palestinian sources.
A bio for the Palestinian Hitler mentions that the name of the original Hitler “remained present as it is distinguished by his attractiveness and presence made him one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century.”
Hitler’s name however led to some confusion in the elections. “By Allah,” Hitler says, “I had to write my title and my name and if I did I would not have succeeded because the vast majority know me the title of Hitler, even over the name Jamal Abualrb.”
Does this mean that the Palestinians are shockingly turning on Hitler?
