Is war really the best option? See
page 1 for discussion.
Do certain lobbies
have too much influence in America? "The Jewish Lobby", discussed on
page 3.
The Grand-Mufti decided to
support peace troops that will hopefully be able to bring peace to the
war-torn country. The former kingdom of Yugoslavia has been torn apart
by war for the last four years. The Grand-Mufti hopes that better
collaboration between local Muslims and German peace keepers is the
goal for success. (Page 5)
A cycle of violence that
has so far caused the death of
several hundred thousand civilians has lead to major fights in the city
of Warsaw last week. German commander Jurgen Stroop reports that the
situation is under control and that the Jewish aggressors had targeted
civilians as well as military personnel.
Mohammad
Amin al-Husayni, religious leader in the third-holiest city of Islam is
visiting Berlin to discuss the issues and problems with Germany's
leader Adolph Hitler. Both leaders agree that the divide between
western nationalism and eastern Islam, however different they seem to
be, can be overcome if both sides show tolerance for each other and
disdain for those who attempt to bring death and destruction unto
civilisation. The two leaders agreed that the problems faced by
both Germany and the Arab world can yet be overcome together.
'Arabs, rise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the
Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion.
This saves your honour. God is with you.'
Al-Husayni also called on the Arab world to
show more tolerance for Germany and its philosophy of
National-Socialism, finding many similarities between even those
cultures that seem, superficially, to be completely distinct. Speaking
on Radio Berlin, the Mufti reiterated the need for cooperation between
countries and rejected calls for unilateral attempts to solve problems
that concern all nations.
The Mufti, who in 1920 made an
unsuccessful attempt to oppose a Jewish action group in southern Syria,
knows how important freedom is for the development of a nation and
rejects violence as a means to reaching political goals, unless faced
with extenuating circumstances. He also pointed out that he finds
Germany in such circumstances and applauds the NSDAP's attempt to solve
Germany's problems which appear to have been caused by the same factors
as southern Syria's problems.
Is war really necessary?
President Roosevelt has come under heavy criticism recently over a
war that has cost several million lives so far and that human rights
groups say should not be fought. “Why would I want one more mother --
either German or American -- to go through what I'm going through? I
don't want him to justify my son's honorable sacrifice to continue his
murderous killing policies,” says Elizabeth Herman, mother of a recent
casualty in the war against Nazi terror. (Page 2)

Remember
the beginning. In a speech at an America First
rally on 11 September 1941 in Des Moines entitled "Who Are the War
Agitators?" aviator Charles Lindbergh claimed the three groups
"pressing this country
toward war were the neo-conservatives, the people of Israel lobby and
the
Roosevelt Administration" and complained about what he insisted was the
Jewish People's "large ownership and influence in our motion pictures,
our press, our radio and our government." Although he made clear his
opposition to German anti-Semitism, stating "No person with a sense of
the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race
in Germany," other comments seemed to suggest he believed Jews should
expect trouble for supporting the war: "Instead of agitating for war,
the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every
possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences.
Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History
shows that it cannot survive war and devastation".
The
America First committee decided to disband last week. In a press
released today the committee made a final statement which also stated
that "our principles were right. Had they been followed, war could have
been avoided. No good purpose can now be served by considering what
might have been, had our objectives been attained." Former committee
members are certain that the future will show that an anti-war course
would have avoided even greater tragedy and consider their achievements
monumental. Says Franz Buchanan: "By keeping America out of World
War II until Hitler attacked Stalin in June of 1941, Soviet Russia, not
America, bore the brunt of the fighting, bleeding and dying to defeat
Nazi Germany.
For nearly a decade have the people of Germany protested
peacefully against increasing Jewish influence in the country. A
similar protest has now been organised in southern Syria and the rest
of the Arab world, where a cycle of violence between less than one
million Jews and 200 million Arabs is endangering Arab survival. The
Arab nation has indeed become so endangered that Gamel Nasser, a loyal
Egyptian soldier has stated that “we have to go along a road covered
with blood. We have no other alternative. For us it is a matter of life
or death, a matter of living or existing. We have to be ready to face
the challenges that await us.” Such unfortunate but honest statements
show that the Jews and Arabs have reached a point where their mutual
hatred can lead to ever-increasing violence on both sides.
