History "proves" the "ties between Nazism and Zionism"

"Zionist propaganda denies the connections between Hitler and the Zionist movement. It even hides the connection between Hitler and the emigration of Jews from Germany to Palestine . . . Historical facts prove the existence of ties between Nazism and Zionism. Israel denies these facts, however, because it understandably prefers to forget them."

On April 29, 2001 a photograph of Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres dressed as a Nazi was published in the opposition daily Al-Arabi. The newspaper superimposed a picture of Peres on that of a Nazi and branded the image with a swastika. The headline read: "The Nazi - the Butcher from Kafr Kana, the Emissary of the Great Criminal Sharon, Arrives in Cairo." Al-Arabi reprinted the photograph on July 15, 2001 with the caption: "The return of the Nazi pollutes Egypt's air." The second printing of the photo coincided with Peres' visit to Cairo to meet with Egyptian leadership. ¹

Charging that Zionism Derives from Nazism

An April 27, 2001 article in Akbar Asaa entitled, "The New Nazism and Sharon's Concept of Absolute Power," maintained that there were no essential differences between Sharon and Hitler and that "there were also no essential differences between Nazism and the great harm it caused and the massacres perpetrated by Zionism. Since the feet of those who adopted the principles of Zionism trod on the land of Palestine for the first time - starting with Ben Gurion and ending with Sharon - there has been disaster. The events of recent months indicate Sharon's Nazi tendencies, tendencies which are not very different from those of Hitler and even worse. The theory of supremacy based on race, deriving from Nazism is essentially identical to the Zionism's theory of supremacy based on race and religion." ¹

The Zionist Movement: "New Nazism"

"We confront a new Nazism which seriously threatens humanity. It is therefore our task at this critical moment to destroy the Zionist plan and the Zionist attitude based on legend, since this is the mentality that rejects the other person, accuses the other person of heresy and has disdain for all humane and cultural values. The whole world must unite against Nazi orientation and all over the world groups must rise against the Zionist movement and new Nazism."

interview with philosopher Mahmud Amin Al-Aalem to the opposition newspaper Al-Ahali, March 14, 2001 ¹

"Like Nazism, Zionism adopted the racist theories that there are both chosen and inferior races in the world. So it happened, that just as Nazism presented the theory of the superiority of the Aryan race, racist Zionism presented the same false racist theory and invented the idea of the 'Chosen People.' These illusions were mixed with other lies which they present and which no one believes, such as the claim that the Jews built pyramids."
