Spurious claims of victimhood are at the core of the “Palestinian” nationality, and so if any other group, particularly the Jews, whom the Qur’an designates as the Muslims’ worst enemies (5:82) have any claim to actual victimhood, they must be impugned.
“British Historian Dr. Osman Latiff In Podcast Episode Titled ‘Don’t Let Israelis Hijack The Holocaust’: The Jews Today Claim They Are Victims Of Oppression, Like The Nazis Did Dring The Holocaust; Israeli Scientific Progress Is A Fake Veneer Of Civility,” MEMRI, February 3, 2024:
British historian Dr. Osman Latiff [also spelled Uthman Lateef], in a February 3, 2024 episode of “Empowered by Islam21c” podcast titled: “Don’t Let Israelis Hijack the Holocaust”, equated Nazi Germany’s conduct during the Holocaust and Israel’s modern day policies. Dr. Salman Butt, the host of the podcast asked whether there are parallels between Israel’s claims that it is attacking Gaza in defense against rockets and terrorism and Nazi Germany. Latiff replied that the Nazis did a very similar thing, claiming they were being attacked and inflating the numbers of their casualties, and that like the Israelis, they criticized the scrutiny of their actions by the allies. He went on to say that the Nazis saw themselves as victims under the oppression of “certain European powers,” who were just defending themselves. Latiff added that Jews “say the same thing today,” and that they exaggerate and “inflate the numbers.”
Latiff claimed that just as the Nazis located Auschwitz near an industrial center, so do Tel Aviv, Israeli progress in industry, and its scientific accomplishments, give of a “fake veneer of civility” to the country. He said these should not serve as a distraction, because sometimes “within the cloak of civility people can commit the worse of all deeds.” Later in the podcast, Latiff said that prominent Holocaust survivor Eli Wiesel seeks to hijack and politicize the Holocaust, and called on listeners to be “more morally courageous,” and change the way history is taugh.
Dr. Salman Butt: “What can we learn, in terms of remembrance from the Holocaust? What are some of the parallels and so forth when it comes to what’s happening in Gaza?
[…]
“Lots of apologists for Israeli crimes online, on Twitter, for example, they hit back at comparisons to Nazis and so forth, saying, among other things: ‘We are being attacked, we are just defending ourselves, we’re the ones who are the victim. Palestinians did a terrorist attack, or they are throwing rockets, so we’re defending ourselves. So, we have to do this.’
“Is there a parallel in the Nazi Holocaust of this type of discourse?”
Dr. Osman Latiff: “Yes, there is absolute parallel because the Nazis said the same things. The Nazis said: ‘We are being attacked’. The Nazis, in fact, inflated numbers, they criticized any scrutiny of their actions by the Allied powers. The Nazis had very similar thing.
[…]
“The Nazis saw themselves, Germans, as victims, as under oppression, because of the strength of European powers, and whenever they lashed out, they said: ‘We are simply defending ourselves.’ The Jews say the same thing today, but they also have the same thing as the Nazis… The fact that they… When it comes to, for example, numbers they exaggerate, inflate the numbers.
[…]
“There are many, like you mentioned. I remember when we went to Auschwitz, we drove from Krakov, the cultural hub of Poland, to Auschwitz, but we passed by a town or a village, called Oświęcim. We were told that Oświęcim was this industrial city during the Holocaust and it provided a bit of a cover for the world, because they couldn’t believe… How could you have the horrors of the Holocaust happening right next to industrial center called Oświęcim. I think that sense of cover is very typical and is very repeated today.
“[It is ] the same when people see, for example, progress of Tel Aviv. They talk about Tel Aviv and industry, progress, scientific wonders, and big buildings, and whatever. And then, of course, just around the corner you have a genocide committed against Gaza.
“I think that sense of fake veneer of civility should never be a distraction for us because that can be, and it should never [be]. And I think that’s something we should be wary of because sometimes within the cloak of civility that people can commit the worst of all deeds.
[…]
“People like Eli Wiesel, kind of, seek to politicize, weaponize the Holocaust only on behalf of…”
Butt: “Hijack it.”
Latiff: “Yeah, hijack it. I think that we should be more morally courageous and brave than that. And for our children, for the next generation of people to realize that that’s not the way we should teach history.”

The islamic Elephant in the Room
So there is no mention of …the GHARQAD TREE hadith Sahih Muslim 2922 of course.
That’s islam’s Genocidal plan for the Jews
Like the Armenians 1915-1917…the African Christians today…muslims are masters of killing the innocent and yet somehow they bleat about how THEY are the victims!
I mean the muslims wouldn’t have a policy for exterminating the innocent like the nazis..would they?
I sometmes see the Marxists/Communists at these pro-pally protests.No wonder!
No wonder there is a RED-GREEN axis.They have a mutual love of wiping out peoples.Look at their histories.
muslims don’t get Irony: if anything is hijacked it is that word Genocide always used by the muslims to sell the pally victimhood.
Centuries of islamic “scholarship” have failed to detect that the koran is provably false as the errors show.Centuries of “scholars”…
FYI says
I am sure Salman Butt and Osman Latiff will be happy to explain the GHARQAD TREE HADITH.
Sahih Muslim 2922
That’s exactly what hamas were doing on Oct 7th last..
Is there a parallel with the Nazi holocaust in islam’s murderous teachings?
Looks like it…islam SUPPORTS Genocide.
{Armenians ,Jews,African Christians today,Hindus..so many kufr to murder}

Muslims seem to play the victim continually, always whining about how they are being victimised by the infidels until the Muslims manage to grab power and then they treat all non-Muslims like crap. I would never take any notice of anything a Muslim “historian” said about anything. Muslim lie to non-Muslims all the time. Muslims have propagandists not real historians. islam is nothing but a load of bullshit anyway with its false version of what god is like, its prophet, Muhammad, who never actually existed and so on. Anyone who believes anything a Muslim “historian” says is a gullible fool.
James Lincoln says
tim,
muslims never want to be held accountable by infidels.
Never.
tim gallagher says
That’s true, James. islam is a foul, evil religious ideology. That vicious hatred towards all non-believers, those calls in the Koran for muslims to kill the hated non-Muslims when the chance arises, is the end of islam for me. The muslims can stick their vicious intolerance towards all of us non-Muslims up their arse. Since they hate non-Muslims,in me, they have an enemy for life. Throw in islam’s pedophilia with the child brides and all the other barbaric garbage that islam condones and, as far as i am concerned, humanity would be a thousand times better off without islam polluting it. islam has been a terrible road block to human progress for 1400 years and should have the decency to to become extinct. On this Muslim “historian”, how dumb would you have to be to believe anything a Muslim “historian” said about anything. Muslims are pathological liars when dealing with non_muslims. Any history a Muslim wrote would be fit only to be used as toilet paper.

Great comments @tim & @james.
It beggars belief that such dangerous dialogues, such as the one shared on this podcast, are increasingly more accesable, tolerated & in many cases encouraged in the UK today.
The islamic rot has set in deep. It’s evil infection has taken hold greatly across large areas of the towns & cities.
The authorities turn a blind eye to this anti semetic, militant muslim propaganda & as a consequence, the many soldier age males who hate the UK & are waiting for that caliphatic call to battle, feed hungrily on this poison.
A historian hey? Real history shows us clearly the truth about islam. It is a despotic death cult, it’s blood soaked march through time is marked by the lowest points ever known for humankind.
These low iq, qur’an cabbaged miscreants teaching their warped version of the past; wish only to see us driven back to the medevial days, filled with horror & misery; until ‘all is for allah.’
These desert dung beetles are engaging in criminal activities with their words & holocaustic deceptions, yet once again nothing will happen to them of course.
How much more can the UK take before it is lost for good?
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Hudders. i agree with everything you say there. There is, without a doubt in the world, disaster up ahead with this ongoing invasion of our western countries by the barbaric Muslim enemy of our way of life. I don’t like our chances of dealing with thse vicious, extremely violent scum. They need to be shut out of our societies. It is nice to be civilised and pleasant, and I think that our gentle natures is probably the problem our societies face in dealing with the barbaric Muslims. The Hungarians, the Poles and a few other people seem to be tough enough to just say to the Muslim enemy, “bugger off, we don’t want you here and we are not going to let you foul up our country”. It took me some time to wake up to islam’s evil nature when they started arriving in Australia in the 1970s, but these days I am amazed at how stupid so many people in our society are, people who still haven’t woken to the reality about islam. It is absolutely pathetic. So many refuse to face reality. Time is running out for our societies to wake up and stop the Muslim invasion.

Thank you for your replies, tim and Hudders.

“British historian Dr. Osman Latiff”
Yeah, right.

@ Dr. Osman Latiff,
So you are an historian. Well then, please prove that Mohamed existed. We’re anxious to know. Can’t wait.
Tony Rice says
There are several postings on here suggesting Muhammad did not exist. I think he did as there are many reports re his wife, mother, and of course, his child bride Aisha, who he fancied when she was 4, married her when she was six ( imagine a man in his mid 50’s in a ceremony marrying a child of SIX ) and having sex with her 2 or 3 years later, hence in Muslim lands, marriage at 9 is allowed ( same sex contact = death by stoning or hanging ) . Necrophilia up to 8 hours after death is allowed btw. Strange are the ways to worship Allah. Makes one wonder who HE is and what HE stands for.
Rarely says
What is this idiot talking about? I can’ make heads or tales out of it.
Jews “hijacked” the Holocaust? What idiocy?
What he’s saying makes no sense whatsoever…and he knows it. of course it’s simply an attempt to equate Israel with Nazi Germany and is meant for the ears of his followers. Keep telling the Big Lie long enough and brain dead people will come to believe it.
