History is “ridiculous”?
Seriously, Pittbull, it is undisputed that The Grand Mufti of Jersualem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini (pictured above with Hitler), was actively involved in encouraging Adolf Hitler in his project of annihilating the Jewish people back in the 1930s, long before the creation of the modern Jewish state.
During the 1930’s, the Mufti was an actively collaborator with the Nazis and began to assemble a large Waffen SS division.
In the summer of 1940 and again in February 1941, al-Husseini submitted to the Nazi German Government a draft declaration of German-Arab cooperation, containing this clause:
"Germany and Italy recognize the right of the Arab countries to solve the question of the Jewish elements, which exist in Palestine and in the other Arab countries, as required by the national and ethnic interests of the Arabs, and as the Jewish question was solved in Germany and Italy."
The proposal was accepted by the Axis.
Husseini was often seen as an architect of the Holocaust. Documents, such as the testimony of Fritz Grobba confirm that an associate of al-Husseini’s visited the Sachsenhausen concentration camp as part of a German secret police “training course” in July 1942. The Mufti then visited other concentration camps, and also the death camps of Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka and Mauthausen, including the gas-chambers at Auschwitz.
The Mufti declared in November, 1943:
“It is the duty of Muhammadans in general and Arabs in particular to â?¦ drive all Jews from Arab and Muhammadan countriesâ?¦.Germany is also struggling against the common foe who oppressed Arabs and Muhammadans in their different countries. It has very clearly recognized the Jews for what they are and resolved to find a final solution for the Jewish danger that will eliminate the scourge that Jews represent in the world.”
At the Nuremberg trials, one of Adolf Eichmann’s deputies, Dieter Wisliceny, stated that al-Husseini had actively encouraged the extermination of European Jews, and that he had had an elaborate meeting with Eichmann at his office, during which Eichmann gave him an intensive look at the current state of the “Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe.”

The arab allegiance to the Nazis is not controversial.
Hamas leaders openly talk of how the now-called Palestinians supported Hitler and wanted to help murder the Jews during the 1930s – long before the supposed theft of land in 1948 or 1967 or the formation of the Jewish state:

Interesting tidbit from the Peel Commission:
SIR L. HAMMOND: His Eminence gave us a picture of the Arabs being evicted from their land and villages being wiped out. What I want to know is, did the Government of Palestine, the Administration, acquire the land and then hand it over to the Jews?
MUFTI: In most cases the lands were acquired.
SIR L. HAMMOND: I mean forcibly acquired-compulsory acquisition as land would be acquired for public purposes?
MUFTI: No, it wasnâ??t.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Not taken by compulsory acquisition?
MUFTI: No.
SIR L. HAMMOND: But these lands amounting to some 700,000 dunams were actually sold?
MUFTI: Yes, they were sold, but the country was placed in such conditions as would facilitate such purchases.
SIR I HAMMOND: I donâ??t quite understand what you mean by that. They were sold. Who sold them?
MUFTI: Land owners.
SIR I HAMMOND: Arabs?
MUFTI: In most cases they were Arabs.
SIR L. HAMMOND: Was any compulsion put on them to sell? If so, by whom?
MUFTI: As in other countries, there are people who by force of circumstances, economic forces, sell their land.
Al-Husseini was a powerful landowner himself who ran an extortion racket whereby he would force Arabs who owned small plots of land to sell their land to him upon threat of death at extremely low prices. He would then jack up the price and sell them on to Jews making enormous profits. It was al-Husseini and other wealthy Arabs in the region who were “stealing Palestinian land” so to speak.
