People bringing up this puppet of the British are not interested in good faith. Literally nothing that happened in the past can justify genocide, and this has been a live-streamed Holocaust of children.

during the war al-Husseini sees a rapidly rising imperial opponent of the UK and basically goes begging for recognition from Germany and didn't even get it. Hitler flirted with the idea of supporting a pro-Axis Arab revolt once his dumbass realized Italy wasn't actually going to be able to conquer Egypt and close the Suez like Mussolini promised ( ) but besides some sabotages it doesn't really go anywhere as the Nazis are too busy kicking the door of the Soviet Union in and being shocked that the whole building is not collapsing. al-Husseini was very much anti-Semitic himself anyway, no surprise there, but al-Husseini travels around Nazi occupied Europe repeatedly asking Nazis to just please recognize Palestinian independence (with him in charge of it of course), to which Nazis repeatedly blow him off. Hitler's henchman? More like a starving stray dog begging Hitler for scraps and getting nothing.

al-Husseini has a legacy very much like Subhas Chandra Bose. People today look at them and are disgusted they would side with mass murders like the Nazis, but they were nationalists and their colonized nations had been already subject to mass murders by their British overlords. I imagine they heard about the Holocaust and thought, "so what if the Europeans are killing each other again? How's it any different than last time? I'm concerned with my people and exploiting any opportunity to obtain independence", call that callous and cynical, but Victorian colonization (which was occupation too) was plenty horrifying enough to warp one's humanity in such ways. Hell, our modern Zionazis don't act so different really, so what if we bomb some Muslim civilians? How's it any different than last time America?

Nationalism easily allows such skewed logic and shows why cultivating global proletarian internationalism is vital to world peace. Mao funnily enough made the correct bet by keeping the CPC aligned with arguably the weakest world power at the time, the USSR, and went from starving guerilla leader to ending his nation's century of humiliation. India and Palestine? Still haunted by sectarianism, war, and mass slaughter. Communism really is the answer people, stop being dumbass myopic nationalists and figure it out.

TLDR: just blame the fucking Brits, everything is really their fault

He wasn’t the world historical figure standard Zionist history makes him out to be, and it’s debatable how responsible he was for encouraging “anti Jewish riots.” (In many cases these were unpaid laborers vs. shopkeeper/landlord riots who included Jews, Christians, and Muslims) He was a radio crank sort of like Father Coughlin. He had more of an influence in recruiting Muslim Yugoslavs to fascism than anything in Palestine.
