Al Jazeera's
Holocaust-denial video no 'mistake'
Celebrated terrorist, joined KKK member in blaming 9/11
on Jews
Two recent incidents illustrate how Islamic supremacist
organizations portray one image to the Arabic-speaking world and another to the
West.
In each case, the organization posted a video in Arabic
filled with expressions of hatred toward Jews that drew no outrage until it was
translated into English by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
And in each case, the Islamic organization insisted the
posting of the video was a “mistake” that certainly was not in keeping with its
beliefs and views, vowing to punish the low-level employees responsible.
This week, the Al Jazeera TV network apologized for posting on its AJ+ Arabic site a seven-minute video with the caption “The gas chambers killed millions of Jews … So the story says. How true is the #Holocaust and how did the Zionists benefit from it?”
Al Jazeera, which pressed Twitter to block the
English translation of its video, blamed two rogue journalists. But the Daily Caller recounted
both the news network’s and the AJ+ subsidiary’s long history of anti-Semitism,
including holding a party for a terrorist and joining with a KKK
member to blame 9/11 on the Jews.
In the previous incident, this month, MEMRI translated from Arabic
to English a video posted on Facebook showing Muslim children
at a Philadelphia Islamic school lip-syncing a song and reading poems that
called for beheading and torturing Jews.
The Muslim American
Society insisted the event and the posting of the video was “an
unintended mistake and an oversight in which the center and the
students are remorseful.” MAS promised an “internal investigation”
and “sensitivity training.”
But MAS lied when it claimed it was
not affiliated with the school, as records show. And the
organization was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and designated a
terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.

Al Jazeera: Hitler carried out Allah’s punishment
The Daily Caller presented evidence that Al Jazeera
“pushes Islamic rhetoric in Arabic but has wrapped itself in progressive
liberalism in English, is controlled by the royal family of Qatar.”
One of Al Jazeera’s most popular weekly programs, for
example, was called “Sharia and Life,” hosted by Muslim Brotherhood
spiritual leader Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi.
In January 2009, he said the Holocaust was “divine
punishment.”
“Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would
punish them for their corruption,” he said. “The last punishment was carried
out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they
exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place. This was divine
punishment for them.
“Allah willing,” Qaradhawi continued, “the next time will be at the hand of the believers. … I will shoot Allah’s enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus, I will seal my life with martyrdom. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Allah’s mercy and blessings upon you.”
In 2008, the network held an on-air party for Palestinian
Liberation Front terrorist Samir Kuntar after he was released from prison
for murdering a 4-year-old Jewish girl.
Al Jazeera’s Beirut bureau chief called him a “Pan-Arab hero.”
In 2002, the Daily Caller reported, Al Jazeera
interviewed former Klu Klux Klan official David Duke. Both Duke and the Al
Jazeera journalist blamed 9/11 on the Israelis, as the Middle East Forum noted.
In 2017, Al Jazeera English did an undercover investigation of Jewish
advocacy organizations and produced a documentary series called “The Lobby.”
Middle East Forum found that while Al Jazeera, under
pressure, did not air the program in the United States, the tapes mysteriously
wound up in the hands of neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer.
Al Jazeera also promoted conspiracies claiming
President George W. Bush and Jews were engaged in a “Crusader Zionist
campaign” to turn Europe against Muslims.
