Outrage after social media users discover series of Hitler-praising tweets from CNN freelancer
The tweet turned out to be one of many in which Adeel Raja has praised Hitler


CNN is under fire for having hired a writer who posted several times on social media that he believes the world needs another "Hitler."

Social media users demanded that the network respond after discovering the tweets from one of its freelance contributors, Adeel Raja, who has written dozens of pieces for the outlet.

After some digging, it turned out to be one of several messages Raja has posted praising the Nazi leader.

Outrage after social media users discover series of Hitler-praising tweets from CNN freelancer

CNN is under fire for having hired a writer who posted several times on social media that he believes the world needs another “Hitler.”

www.foxnews.com

"The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals - Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!" Raja wrote during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Raja last had a CNN byline on Sept. 16, 2020. He still lists his affiliation with the network on LinkedIn.

"Hail Hitler!" he wrote the following day. Twitter users shared screenshots of the messages.

CNN spokesman Matt Dornic told the Washington Examiner that he "never heard" of Raja and that he's "looking into it."

Late Sunday, CNN provided the following comment to Fox News:

"Adeel Raja has never been a CNN employee. As a freelancer, his reporting contributed to some newsgathering efforts from Islamabad. However, in light of these abhorrent statements, he will not be working with CNN again in any capacity."

The unearthing of Raja's controversial comments come amid the escalating violence between Israel and the militant group Hamas in the Middle East, which is at its most violent since the 2014 Gaza War, according to reports.

Palestinian militants have fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, the majority of which have been intercepted by Israel’s "Iron Dome" missile defense system. Israel has also responded with a series of airstrikes, which have taken out some of Hamas' senior leaders.

"In response to HUNDREDS of rockets in the last 24 hours, the IDF has struck a number of significant terror targets and terror operatives across the Gaza Strip, marking our largest strike since 2014," the Israeli Defense Forces wrote on Twitter. "We are currently striking more terror targets in Gaza."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas that there will be more retaliation where that came from.

"We'll do whatever it takes to restore order and quiet, and the security of our people and deterrence," Netanyahu said on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "We're trying to degrade Hamas' terrorist abilities and to degrade their will to do this again."

The video shows how PLO/Fatah emerged from the German Nazi Final Solution. Hajj Amin al Husseini, father of the Palestinian Movement, creator of Fatah, and mentor to Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, was co-director with Adolf Eichmann of the death camp system that exterminated between 5 and 6 million European Jews in WWII.

Apparently during the second world war, Jerusalem's Mufti met with Hitler. By the way the Mufti Amin al-Husseini was Yasser Araft's uncle. Starting to make sense huh.

LEVY: Jews targets of online and physical attacks as Middle East conflict continues


Hasbara’s executive director Daniel Koren says since the latest Gaza-Israel conflict heated up a week ago, online hate against the Jewish people in Canada is the “worst it’s ever been.”

In addition to Jewish people being attacked in the virtual world, he says, there has been abundant evidence of physical attacks in the past few days — starting with a small contingent of Israel supporters attending a pro-Palestine rally Saturday night in downtown Toronto being chased by an angry group armed with sticks, carrying the Palestinian flag and wearing keffiyehs.


Doc von Lichtenburg, who attended the protest that night and was situated with about 32 other pro-Israel supporters, said many of the attendees were screaming “death to the Jews” and “we will finish what Hitler started.”

When they tried to escape, he said, they were “completely trapped” and hit by fists, sticks and bottles as they ran up Chestnut St. “It was mayhem,” he said.

Theres a lot of people on this website claiming things are antisemetic when they are

a. Not Jewish or Israeli
b. Have no idea about this actual history of the creation of the State of Israel.

Yes the Arabs dislike Israelis (and Jews) but do you blame them? Because I sure as hell dont. Just like I don't blame Black and Indigenous people who don't like or don't trust white people.

No one is negating the fact that Nazis, the Nazi party, Hitler, etc. were bad. They are an oppressed and traumatized group of people who are reacting to their oppressors in the only way that will get their oppressors attention.

explain why NO ONE was calling for an independent Palestinian state between 1948 and 1967 when Gaza was part of Egypt and the West Bank was part Of Jordan?

can you explain quotes like these from Arab Politicians and leaders who openly admitted there is/was no such thing as a Palestinian people?


PLO leader Zuheir Mohsen, who, in a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw, stated:

“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism.

“For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”

The Palestinians Compare Israel to the Nazis, But They Were the Real Collaborators With Hitler



On a Spring day in 2018 during the March of Return riots, Palestinians at the Gaza border flew a swastika-emblazoned kite carrying a Molotov cocktail into Israel. From the black smoke of burning tires arose another swastika, only this time interposed between two Palestinian flags. Was it a mere coincidence that this also occurred on Adolf Hitler’s birthday?

The genocidal imagery that accompanied the rioters in Gaza has a sordid history that many anti-Zionist activists conveniently forget and some Palestinians embrace entirely.


The Nazis murdered 6,000,000 Jews and sought to destroy any trace that Jewish life had ever existed; yet it’s a common practice for anti-Zionists to liken Israel to the Nazis. Libels of this sort are quite common on college campuses.

Last June, for example, Florida State University (FSU) students discovered that the school’s student senate president, Ahmad Daraldik, had created a virulently antisemitic website to explain his (incorrect) argument that “the Holocaust never ended, it just moved to Palestine.” Unsurprisingly, the FSU chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine’s subsequent petition defending Daraldik completely ignored this appalling hatred.


Two years prior, renowned Harvard University professor of law at Alan Dershowitz visited the University of California’s Berkeley campus to present what he described as his “liberal case for Israel.” Rather than engage in productive dialogue, the student newspaper published a cartoon that depicted Dershowitz stomping on a Palestinian child and propping up an Israeli soldier that had just shot a young Palestinian. As Dershowitz pointed out, these sorts of blood libels and ritual murder accusations hearken back to the Nazi propaganda tabloid Der Sturmer. To make matters worse, a poster with a swastika scrawled on Dershowitz’s face was displayed outside the law school.

In October 2018, a guest lecturer’s presentation at the University of Michigan’s Stamps School of Art and Design featured a slide with side-by-side photos of Adolf Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The words “guilty of genocide” were superimposed over both faces.

Ironically, anti-Zionists are correct that the specter of Nazism indeed haunts the Middle East; but the purveyors of the ideology are definitely not the Jews.

Antisemitism has always been a part of the Arab world, but after the rise of Nazi Germany, the hatred took on a new meaning to those enraged by the influx of Jewish refugees to then-Mandatory Palestine.

Chief among them was Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, a key founder of the Palestinian national movement and preeminent Islamic jurist who enthusiastically championed Nazism following Hitler’s rise. Relations between the mufti and the Third Reich’s highest-ranking officials went beyond moral support — it was a sadistic partnership.

Reflecting on his time in Berlin as a consultant for Hitler, al-Husseini wrote in his memoirs, “I asked Hitler for an explicit undertaking to allow us to solve the Jewish problem in a manner befitting our national and racial aspirations and according to the scientific methods innovated by Germany in the handling of its Jews. The answer I got was: ‘The Jews are yours.’”

A photograph of Hitler and Husseini discussing the Final Solution is, generally speaking, the extent of people’s seemingly limited understanding of their collaboration. Almost without exception, peddlers of the Israel-Nazi comparisons fail to acknowledge, for example, the mufti’s complicity in (if not responsibility for) the deaths of an estimated 84,000 Jews, including 4,000 children. As the associate director of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) Alex Safian has documented, “The mufti influenced the Germans to directly prevent the escape of Jews who otherwise might have survived the war, and he provoked his followers to violence in the Palestine Mandate.”

Sadly, the mufti’s complicity in the Holocaust left an indelible mark on his people, and his influence can still be found in many elements of contemporary Palestinian society more than 70 years later.


The “Nazi Scouts” organized by Husseini and inspired by the Hitler Youth are no longer, but indoctrinating children with antisemitic ideology remains in Palestinian classrooms. In a 2019 resolution, the United Nations — rarely friendly to Israel — condemned these practices and called on the Palestinian Authority to remove “any derogatory comments and images from school curricula and textbooks that perpetuate prejudices and hatred.”

Twelve years prior, Palestinian Media Watch director Itamar Marcus published findings that Palestinian textbooks, unsurprisingly, reject Israel’s right to exist and traffic in Holocaust denial. In 2001, German MEP Armin Laschet argued that the hateful content in Palestinian textbooks reminded him of the books published when his country was under Hitler’s reign.

That Hitler’s Mein Kampf was once a bestseller in the Palestinian-controlled territories is especially ironic, given that Holocaust denial is not uncommon in Palestinian media. In fact, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas argued in his 1984 PhD thesis that the Holocaust was grossly exaggerated and that the (entirely correct) assertion that six million Jews were murdered was a “fantastic lie.” In Abbas’ view, the Jews who were killed by the Nazis only perished because the Zionist movement supposedly incited the Nazis.

It wouldn’t be fair to charge the entire Palestinian people with the crime of the Holocaust. But it is important to reckon with the aforementioned historical and contemporary facts and expose the absurdity, not to mention irony, of Israel-Nazi comparisons tossed around on college campuses.

To falsely equate Jews with their oppressors — all while ignoring actual examples of collaboration with Nazi Germany — is an aberration of justice.

Literally nothing in this post has anything to do with my post. I love how you are trying to mansplain the history of where my family have lived since 1940 like im some clueless child.

Also dont just pull up Zuheir Mohsen's wiki page like you know what you are talking about. Actually do some research on him. Thanks.

''Mansplain'' eh?....LOL........

He'd make that exact same post no matter what sex you were if you were paying attention on here.

i never said anything about you and your family

if you don't like Zuheir Mohsen's quote here is some more quotes from other important Arabs openly admitted that the Palestinian Arab people does not exist

According to Palestinian historian Muhammad Y. Muslih, during the entire 400 year period of Ottoman rule (1517-1918), before the British set up the 30-year-long Palestine Mandate, “There was no political unit known as Palestine.”


The 1964 PLO charter defined the Palestinians as “an integral part of the Arab nation”, rather than a distinct nationality (emphasis mine) and vowed allegiance to the ideal of pan-Arab unity – that is, to Palestine’s eventual assimilation into “the greater Arab homeland.”

The Original Palestine National Charter (1964)

Encyclopedia of Jewish and Israeli history, politics and culture, with biographies, statistics, articles and documents on topics from anti-Semitism to Zionism.

www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org

Azmi Bishara, founding leader of the nationalist Balad Party (with seats in the Israeli parliament since 1999). In a statement he made in 2002 he said: “My Palestinian identity never precedes my Arab identity…. I don’t think there is a Palestinian nation, there is [only] an Arab nation…. “

“We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds.” (First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations, February 1919)


The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947 that said,


“Palestine was part of the Province of Syria,” and that, “politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity.”


In 1937, a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Palestine:

“There is no such country as Palestine! ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria.”


“Palestine and Transjordan are one.”
King Abdullah, Arab League meeting in Cairo,12 April 1948


Syrian President Hafez Assad addressing the Palestinian leader, the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), President of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and “Father of the Palestinian People” Yasser Arafat, explained to him:

“You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people.”


Moreover, Arafat himself made a definitive and unequivocal statement along the same lines as late as 1993, when he declared that,

“The question of borders doesn’t interest us… From the Arab standpoint, we mustn’t talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean. Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it…The P.L.O. is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call “Jordan” is nothing more than Palestine.”





explain why from 1948-1967 nobody was calling for an independent palestinian nation?

Why neo-Nazis love the BDS movement so much | Opinion | Opinion

***

www.haaretz.com

it’s been clear for quite some time that "progressive" spaces have a problem with "Zionists"and their "offensive" symbols – including any flags with the most recognizable Jewish symbol, the Star of David, on them.


That must be why, when progressive protesters countered a small Ku Klux Klan demonstration in Dayton, Ohio they tried to burn an Israeli flag. Their passionate "anti-Zionism" must have prompted burning the Jewish state's flag to equate it with KKK white supremacy.


But it's increasingly clear that a similar antipathy for "Zios" energizes the far right. Last weekend, a neo-Nazi, who had come with his buddies to protest the Detroit Pride parade, felt the urge to demonstrate that Jew-haters can also be anti-Zionists when he urinated on an Israeli flag. And the small neo-Nazi German party Die Rechte campaigned for the recent EU elections with the slogan: "Israel is our misfortune."




That’s quite the common denominator. If, as a progressive, you claim to take the fight against the oldest hatred seriously and find yourself on the same side as neo-Nazis, it’s arguably time to reconsider your views.

When a caravan of people waving Palestinian flags go into an LA restaurant looking for Jews to beat up, it doesn't take a genius to figure out they are blaming Jews for what is happening halfway around the world.

And there isn't a world where "The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals - Hitler was a German and he did good with those Jews!" isn't anti-semitic.



p.s. I have read extensively about the conflict including the work of Rashid Khalidi and Edward Said in addition to Israeli, European, and American historians.

You post hateful articles aimed entirely at Palestinians the way cantaro, and maybe now oracle, does about Muslims in general.
Right now there are just as many examples of racist Jewish acts, from the mobs shouting 'death to Arabs' to general daily live, yet you post only these types of articles.

Yesterday you posted that you think that most Palestinians just want to get on with their lives.

IIRC, you may have posted sometime that you're background is actually Irish. If that were the case, do you think all IRS members and ex-members are still terrorists and they should also be bombed in their homes while they sleep? Or do you think that Ireland can get past those times and live together somehow? And if that's the case, is it just racial supremacy that makes you think that of all peoples on the earth, only Palestinians are unable to get over their pasts?

De-escalate.
Call for both sides to be held to the law equally and for equal rights to be applied to all inside their borders.
Support BDS, not more supremacist violence.

Anti Zionism has exactly the same aim as anti Semitism only the road is longer to the desired conclusion- the destructive of the Jewish People. Anti Zionists are fond of screaming- free Palestine. Then what? The aim of Hamas is an Islamic State. What will happen to the Jews in an Islamic State? No imagination required, is there?
