Understanding Hitler’s Anti-Semitism
It wasn’t about German nationalism, the historian Timothy Snyder argues. It was about the whole world.
EDWARD DELMAN
SEPTEMBER 9, 2015

Hitler is often depicted as the prototypical totalitarian—a man who believed in the superiority of the German state, a German nationalist to the extreme. But according to Snyder, this depiction is deeply flawed. Rather, Hitler was a “racial anarchist”—a man for whom states were transitory, laws meaningless, ethics a facade.

“There is in fact no way of thinking about the world, says Hitler, which allows us to see human beings as human beings. Any idea which allows us to see each other as human beings … come[s] from Jews,” Snyder told me in an interview. As Snyder sees it, Hitler believed the only way for the world to revert to its natural order—that of brutal racial competition—was to eradicate the Jews.

Hitler’s antisemitism. Why did he hate the Jews?

Antisemitism played a major role in Adolf Hitler’s thinking and in the Nazi ideology. Read here what inspired Hitler's hatred of Jews and what life events played a role in its development.

10 Things You Should Know About Hitler: Predictions From 1932
BRIAN RESNICK
APRIL 20, 2012

Based on a reading of Mein Kampf, an Atlantic author imagines what Germany might become should the aspiring dictator "succeed in gaining control of the German government."

Hitler knew of the Mizrahi Jews. Why don’t we?

There have always been Jews of all colors; the lie that Jews somehow just appeared in the Middle East in 1948 needs to die
APR 3, 2019, 8:22 AM

How did a German supremacist Nazi dictator get to teaming up with Arab nationalist leader? The same way Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke defends Louis “I’m anti-termite” Farrakhan and his blatant anti-Semitic teachings. A common ideology brings together the strangest of bedfellows.

Just as early as 2017, we learned of the neo-Nazis of Germany forming an allyship with Syria’s Assad regime, and Hezbollah in Lebanon, hatred of the West and Israel being their common guiding principle.

One reason why the rebirth of the Jewish homeland is so important is that this evil ideology, though ancient, is very much alive today. 850,000 Mizrahi Jews were expelled from countries like Iraq, Egypt and Syria upon the rebirth of the State of Israel, and 650,000 of them would still be refugees today had it not been for the Jewish state — the very state that Hitler and al-Husseini were very much against, a state that instantly became the largest refugee camp in the Middle East because of the expulsion of Mizrahi Jews from Arab lands. Over half of Israel’s population is Jews of color whose families came as refugees from Middle Eastern and North African countries. And much like their European brethren, they are returning to the land after centuries of being exiled.

The Snyder book sounds interesting. However, it was common knowledge at the time that Hitler was promoting a "warped worldview" even though many nations admired the economic plan. A huge problem was that people as bad or worse were attracted to the depraved mind-set they bought into, contributing to it. And they were willing to turn all the iniquitous bloody horrors into reality. But let's not forget the HRE. Perhaps Germany had remained intent on recreating religious empire to include what had recently been the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with nations that instead became part of Russia's U.S.S.R. Empire.

There is much missing, and misleading in that Times of Israel article regarding "Israel/Palestine discussion"
After the Inquisition got underway the prejudicial treatment of Jews in Europe ran rampant (more precisely nonChristians, at first non-Catholics). Full citizenship was denied in nations which allowed Jews and non-Christians (England, early on did not; Holland did). The Inquisition was responsible for the oppression of nonChristians throughout Europe, and the prejudicial treatment that was meted out for some four centuries, in varying degrees, prior to 1900. Before that time anyone who was not religious enough was labeled a "witch" and part of the genocide of witches in Europe.

People tend to forget how much political control "the church" had, from early Medieval times onward, which was at the foundation of the prejudice directed at nonChristians that made Jews a primary target when they left Andalusia. That was also why so many Jewish folks migrated to Arab/Muslim nations,too, although before the Inquisition, and before Islam, there was no lack of Jewish folks at home in Arabic speaking nations. Jane Gerber, a notable Inquisition scholar, has suggested a large portion of the Jews of Andalusia had arrived in Andalusia very early on after destruction of the First Temple.

In the 1800s there was a desire on the part of wealthy European industrialists (inspired by Marx) to send Jews packing to a nation of their own, to get rid of successful Jews in Europe. Germany actually established emancipation laws that provided equality under the law, during the 1800s. It lead to Jewish families to establish the very successful metal industry in Germany, for example, after enactment of the emancipation laws.
There is also more to the al-Husseini story than meets the eye, which was not a matter of wanting to kill Jewish people. Neither the native Jewish nor the native Arabs in Palestine were supportive of Palestine being turning into an exclusive homeland for Jews which had been in the early planning stages by wealthy European anti-semites, since the 1830s, actually. It promised to be a political nightmare people living in Palestine did not want to invite. But reparations with the Ottoman Empire after WWI created the nightmare (with a lot of encouragement from European industrialists including Russians).
Earlier, towards the end of the 1800s there had been several waves of Jewish immigrants to Palestine from Russia. because of the pogroms - all part of the master plan of the Europeans (not only Germany - American industrialists supported the plan also). The Ottoman Empire had allowed Jewish refugees to immigrate to Palestine from Russia, even though it was at war with Russia. That had already created problems which had not previously existed prior to the huge influx of European Jews into Palestine.

Will watch.
Update - thought it was worth watching for all the associated history of the times, but of course, as usual, chilling about the person, the camps, and the unspeakable atrocity that was perpetrated.
