Just scan thru a history book. <br />Visiting Koln lately I found a plaque recording the Jewish community there. The latter were ousted because they were blamed for the Plague.I<br /> have an enlarged picture of that plaque hanging in my hallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-50624164130088810212014-06-16T23:07:34.234+01:002014-06-16T23:07:34.234+01:00there is plenty of documentation for Nazi involvem...there is plenty of documentation for Nazi involvement in Iraq. Grobba himself wrote a memoir entitled <i>Manner und machte im Orient</i> [I have not read it as I don't read German]. Lukasz Hirszowicz used Grobba's book in his important work: <i>The Third Reich and the Arab East</i> [also in Hebrew translation]. Then you have Majid Khadduri's <i>Independent Iraq</i> [see both 1st and 2nd editions]. Khadduri was himself an Iraqi and knew very well what was going although he sometimes likes to play down or conceal unpleasant facts. Elie Kedourie wrote about the Farhud, etc. More recently, Martin Cuppers & Klaus-Michael Mallmann published <i>Croissant Fertile et Croix gammee: Le III Reich, les Arabes et palestine</i>. They write about the German supply of weapons to the Rashid Ali Gaylani govt in Iraq and the willingness of Vichy France to do the same [Admiral Darlan]. Both Hitler & Mussolini supplied weapons to the Mufti, Haj Amin el-Husseini, Cuppers et al. write.<br /><br />Hence there is no shortage of sources and authorities on the matter of Germany and the Farhud and Iraq.<br />Also see at link:<br />http://ziontruth.blogspot.co.il/2011/11/seventy-years-since-arab-mufti-haj-amin.htmlEliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-69252388216597174422014-06-16T19:08:47.520+01:002014-06-16T19:08:47.520+01:00I'm sure Lyn Julius will be flattered by such ...I'm sure Lyn Julius will be flattered by such choice nomenclature. I'm not sure that the passage he quotes from Nissim Rejwan's book proves anything at all.<br />It is not only Edwin Black, but eyewitnesses like Sami Michael, Zvi Yehuda, Shmuel Moreh and Salim Fattal who have testified to the Nazi influence over the Iraqis. Yes, we get Shasha's concern for the preservation of 'Arab Jewish culture', but no culture is any use when you're dead.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-33085311889031053102014-06-16T15:57:01.831+01:002014-06-16T15:57:01.831+01:00David Shasha calls Lyn Julius a "hard-core Ar...David Shasha calls Lyn Julius a "hard-core Arab-hating Jew". <br /><br />That man is reckless, and not only in matters of linguistics and identity. <br />Or perhaps he just craves attention.<br /><br />But Lyn Julius is in good company, he regularly attacks Rabbi Marc Angel for not being Sephardic enough.<br /><br />https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Davidshasha/REB00Id_UXwSylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-13210288419546139612014-06-16T14:46:30.790+01:002014-06-16T14:46:30.790+01:00Good point, have added them.Good point, have added them.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-85089266580009500432014-06-16T14:07:39.678+01:002014-06-16T14:07:39.678+01:00I would just like to add the Yazidis [their religi...I would just like to add the Yazidis [their religion is something like Zoroastrianism] to the list of non-Muslim groups driven out of Iraq.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
