Arab newspaper justifies the Mufti's role in the Holocaust, plus more

Here is a survey of how the Arab media is reporting about the Holocaust in today's newspapers.

Al Arab al Yawm, an Arab newspaper based out of Jordan, has an article about the infamous Mufti of Jerusalem who contributed directly to the genocide of Jews in Europe during World War II.

The unsigned article quotes, and does not dispute, Israeli newspaper accounts of the history of the Mufti's crimes in Nazi Germany. But here is how it introduces the topic:

Israel is trying through its media to offend every symbol of Palestinian leaders, Arabs and Muslims, including Haj Amin al-Husseini and Gamal Abdel Nasser and Yasser Arafat, and many others who unfurled banners of struggle and the struggle against the Zionist aggression that usurped Palestine, and displaced the Palestinian people in an orgy of crimes against humanity.

Among the continuous misrepresentations committed by Israel against our symbols is the report published recently about Galilee fighter Sheikh Haj Amin al-Husseini and his relationship with the German state in the thirties and forties of the last century. We will not get in the evaluation of the position of Jews from Germany, but we want to ask, what do you expect from a national leader who sees his home and and people usurped and displaced by the Zionist gangs, backed by the great powers at the time, led by Britain?!!
Isn't it obvious when people start buying houses in your neighborhood that you should seek to exterminate everyone who shares their peoplehood and religion?

Another Arab newspaper today, Moheet, denied the Holocaust altogether:

Some Europeans who did not believe the lie of the Holocaust started researching, and inquiring about the facts, and documenting the numbers, and the French philosopher Roger Garaudy presented facts and figures about the Jews in World War II that belies claims of damage to the Jews.
Al Watan Voice today uses the Mahmoud Abbas angle that Zionists were cooperating with Nazis in their crimes, but notes that those crimes pale in comparison with what Zionists are doing in the Middle East:

The Zionist state has exercised against the Palestinian people, the worst massacres of human history, the number of massacres carried out against the Palestinian people are endless in quantity and quality, to the present time.

This is all just in the past day.
