"In his dealings with Nazi Germany, Husseini had already gotten what he wished for: an Axis broadcast supporting Arab independence; the halt of Jewish emigration to the Mideast by the Nazis; and a secret 1942 letter between Berlin, Rome, Gaylani and him to agree to liquidate the Jews in Palestine. But then the mufti wanted public recognition of the “natural alliance” between Nazism and Islamism. Since 1937, he had forwarded four key drafts of such a text to the Nazis. Paragraph seven always stayed the same: a Jewish national home is illegal. Even when, in May 1943 the Axis Powers had been driven out of the Mideast, the mufti asked them to destroy the Jews of Palestine."
