The Egyptian roots of the PLO and Hamas

Both Hamas and the PLO were established in Egypt. At their founding, both movements saw Israel’s mere presence in the Middle East as an ”occupation”. While Hamas has strong historical ties to Nazi anti-Semitism, the PLO has its origins in the anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist rhetoric of Moscow Communism.

The terrorist organization Hamas has its roots in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which has the motto: ”Allah is our goal, the Prophet is our leader, the Koran is our law, jihad is our path and death for the glory of Allah is our highest aspiration.” Suicide bombers and civilian victims are part of this death cult.
The founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna, collaborated with Hitler and Jerusalem’s Grand Mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini to establish a military branch. From Hitler, Hassan al-Banna learned the importance of using propaganda to incite hatred against the Jews. As early as 1935, the Brotherhood had set up its own propaganda department and from the mid-1930s onwards it sent delegations to the Nazi meetings in Nuremberg. Hundreds of members were sent to receive ”training” by the Nazi regime. They organized demonstrations against Egyptian Jews in the late 1930s and distributed Arabic translations of Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Later, when the Second World War broke out, the Nazis received their full support. Then, when King Farouk granted asylum to the Nazi war criminal Haj Amin al-Husseini on June 20, 1946, al-Banna hailed the former Mufti of Jerusalem as a hero.

As early as March 31, 1933, a few months after Hitler’s accession to power, Jerusalem’s Grand Mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, made his first official visit to the new Nazi German Consul, General Heinrich Wolff in Jerusalem. During Al-Husseini’s first meeting with Hitler in November 1941, they discussed among other things the extermination of the Jewish people and as early as January 1941 al-Husseini recruited Bosnian Muslims to the Waffen SS.
Accused of genocide, Omar Hassan al-Bashir is a member of National Congress Party of Sudan which also has its origins in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hamas was established in 1987 in connection with the first Palestinian intifada and is considered the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Since winning the 2006 elections in Gaza the organization has imposed a dictatorship there.
Hamas’s goal is to destroy Israel by replacing it with a Palestinian state. The movement has an anti-Semitic rhetoric and the organization is classified as terrorist by the EU, Israel, Japan, Canada, the USA, Egypt, Australia, the UK and more.

Even the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has its roots in Egypt. The PLO was formed in June 1964 with the support of the Arab League after a meeting in Cairo. Egypt at this time had occupied Gaza since 1948 and Jordan had occupied Judea and Samaria (West Bank) for the same period of time. The goal of the liberation movement was thus to conquer and ”liberate” the territory that became the state of Israel in 1948, that is, to wipe out Israel.
Claims on Egypt-occupied Gaza and Jordan-occupied ”West Bank” were initially downplayed. In 1970, the PLO was expelled from Jordan, which had tired of the Palestinian terror attacks against Israel from Jordanian soil. Only in 1988 did Jordan renounce its claims to the West Bank, which led to peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians and the Oslo Accords.
Yasser Arafat, leader of the PLO from 1969, was born in Cairo but was trained as a devoted Marxist by Soviet KGB intelligence as early as the mid-1960s. The KGB destroyed the official documents of Arafat’s birth in Cairo and replaced them with fictitious documents stating that he had been born in Jerusalem and was therefore ‘Palestinian’ by birth.
”Arafat became an important undercover agent for the KGB and shortly after the Six Day War in 1967, Moscow appointed him chairman of the PLO with the support of Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser,” wrote defected Romanian intelligence officer Ion Mihai Pacepa in his book ”Red Horizons” (1987).

After the Six-Day War, the Communist Party of Moscow established a permanent commission for the ”coordination of scientific criticism of Zionism” at the Institute of Oriental Studies (IOS) in the Social Sciences department at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. For the next 15 years, the IOS would serve as a key partner in the Communist state’s fight against the ”global Zionist conspiracy” that Soviet security services believed was sabotaging the Soviet Union.
In this spirit, the Soviet Union and its satellite states, together with a number of Muslim countries, voted at the UN General Assembly on 10 November 1975 for Resolution 3379, which ”declares that Zionism is a form of racism and ethnic discrimination”. This resolution was repealed on 16 December 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet system.
The Soviet security services also recruited current PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas, who in 1982 received doctoral status at the Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow. Abbas received his doctorate in the 1980s on Holocaust denial (”The secret relationship between Nazism and Zionism”) at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. He also wrote a book that trivializes the persecution of Jews during the Second World War.
Since 2006, no free elections have been held in the PLO-controlled West Bank.
