Egyptian State-Run Magazine Compares Israeli Generals to Nazis

As the world watches to see whether Egypt becomes a beacon of hope for the region or descends into the dark night of Islamist tyranny, there are particularly distressing signs in Egypt’s state-run press that relations with neighboring Israel could be poisoned by hate.
In a disgraceful example, the Egyptian weekly October Weekly in its August 28, 2011 issue, published a front page article titled “The New Nazis: The Black Record of the Israeli Generals,” by ‘Ibrahim ’Abd Al-Ghani. The article contained incitement against Israel and Israelis steeped in the most vicious anti-semitic rhetoric and images.
MEMRI translated the article, and summarized its contents:
“All Israel’s leaders, from Ben Gurion to Netanyahu, have been filled with a murderous hatred for Arabs instilled in them from youth, and have surpassed the Nazi regime in their cruelty and massacres.”
Unsurprisingly, MEMRI found the Egyptian piece was “riddled with historical errors and inaccuracies.” It also featured a doctored image of Netanyahu dressed as Hitler giving the Nazi salute (inset).
MEMRI translated the section titles and text of the hateful October magazine piece, some of which are cited below:
- “The Gang Leading Israel Has Outdone Hitler”
This section claims that the history of Israeli leadership has been worse than that of the Nazis. In support of this bizarre and grotesque claim, the author writes:
“They have massacred children, made women into widows, murdered men, occupied the land, desecrated the honor of women.”
The author also writes in this section about the border altercation between Israeli forces responding to a terrorist attack and Egyptian police who were killed in the crossfire, which he called a crime.
- “The Jews Stormed Palestine While Our Backs Were Turned”
The author describes in this section what he alleged was an elaborate plan for the Jews to deceive the Palestinians to initially take their land, and then subsequent “storming” of Palestine by Jewish refugee groups from all over the world as part of the plot.
- “The Racism Absorbed by Israel’s Generals in Their Youth Later Becomes Part of Their Nature“
There is a focus on Shimon Peres in this section. The author again references the Sinai-launched terrorist attacks against Israel, in order to make a point about Peres accepting responsibility for the deaths of the five Egyptian police officers:
“A few days ago… [Peres] openly apologized to the Egyptian army and to the families of the martyrs for the crime on the border in which a police officer and five heroic soldiers were killed.”
October Magazine, July Cover, Shows U.S. envoy and calls her "Ambassador from Hell"
That the Israeli government took responsibility for an accident and launched an investigation did not appear to the author as evidence of Israeli fairness. He merely cited the apology as further evidence of Israeli insidiousness.
- “The Record of Israel’s Generals Is No Less Abominable Than That of the Nazis“
In keeping with his despicable theme of misrepresentation and outright lies, the author writes of Israel’s generals that their record:
“Is still open, and it is no less abominable than the files on the Nazis in Germany or the Fascists in Italy.”
You can read full transcriptions and more of the hateful Egyptian magazine piece in translation at MEMRI’s site.
Hopefully, October magazine will not be read by many Egyptians, and those who do come across it will recognize it as intellectually vapid, morally disgraceful trash.
But it is a reminder that there are forces at work in Egypt that are much more interested in promoting evil than democracy.

It is the muslim children of Egypt,Iran,Syria, Lebanon, yadda, yadda, that read in their schoolbooks that Jews are pigs. They are told Israel must be destroyed.
I do not think that Israeli schoolchildren read any sort of propaganda such as this about their Muslim neighbors.

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 4:00amI’m surprised alright, that there hasn’t been one iota of solid proof that these eastern Europeans calling themselves Jews are actually descendants of Abraham (because they’re not). Shouldn’t there be some solid proof ?
Does the Christian Bible dictate international law ?
Look up the term Ashkenazi Jew – then refer to Genesis 10:2-3 and you’ll see that Ashkenaz (where we get the term Ashkenazi Jew) not only isn’t related to Abraham but rather is named within the group that ATTACK true ISRAEL in the end times Armegeddon. [See Ezekiel 38 where Israel is attacked by Gomer and all of his bands; Gomer is the father of Ashkenaz ].
There is a grand deception being pulled off that is causing good people with good intentions to serve evil.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 4:08pmIn 1942 Egyptians waited with baited breath for the Afrika Korps to sweep through Cairo and on to Palestine.
The Egyptian Army, including such as worthies as Neguib, Nasser and Sadat, concealed swastika flags, to break out after the hated Brits had been sent packing.
Some Muslim Brotherhood leaders (as well as Palestinian ones) went further than that and consorted with the 3rd Reich to the point of coordinating propaganda and encouraging volunteering for the SS.
Egyptians seem to have forgotten all this.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 5:41pmYou know in the bible the Egyptian army was drowned in the Red Sea when they decided to pursue Israel across the open ocean floor for the purpose of destroying Israel in vengeance for the final plague. The Egyptian, Jordaiin, and Syrian armies were destroyed once again in the 6-day war because their leaders vowed to destroy the re-emergent prophesied Israel. The 6-day complete destruction of these enemy forces showed that God would not be denied His people or His promise for their well-being.
Today if Egypt wants to harden their collective hearts toward another major a$$ kicking by God then so be it. Unfortunate that innocent Isrealis and Egyptians have to die because Egypt’s leaders are incapable of learning a historic lesson. God will not be mocked.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 6:05pmThere were many high ranking jewish Nazis. Don’t forget; Judaism is a religion, NOT a race…The only race that has been practicing Judaism since the times of Abraham and Queen Sheba are Ethiopian. But the Russian and German Jews who invaded Israel post WW2 are very racist towards the Ethiopians in Israel. When’s the last time you saw an Ethiopian Jew on tv? It’s this trickery that they used to portray jesus as a white man even though there were no white jews back then

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 3:05pmOr let’s take a quote from the brain dead Mr.Clapper:“The term ‘Muslim Brotherhood’…is an umbrella term for a variety of movements, in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried Al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam,” Clapper said. “They have pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt, et cetera…..In other countries, there are also chapters or franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally.”
Clapper is either a moron or trying to cover for Barry’s friends the Muslim brotherhood a known terrorist group.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 3:16pmIsreali Generals are JUST like the Nazis. Their final solution is to rid the world of Jews, JUST like the Nazis. No, wait, that’s not true. Well, they DID criminalize being a Jew, take away all Jewish property and businesses, herd Jews into gehtos then onto trains to concentration camps where they liberated them from their remaining property, glasses, dental gold, etc, then execute them like they were bugs. No, wait, they didn’t do any of those things either. Well, they DO dress in military uniforms and have all sorts of military courtesy like the Nazis! So I guess like THAT they are like the Nazis. And the fact that they sometimes go to the bathroom and eat dinner and sleep. In THOSE ways they are like the Nazis. But other than that, there’s not too much resemblence. Moshe Dyan wore this eye patch, much like Col Klink wore a monocal, but Dyan was real, and Werner Klemper was just an actor, so, ah, forget the whole thing. Now, the DEMOCRATS in AMERICA are VERY much like the Nazis, with the Tea Party folks being lines up to play the part of the Jews, but NOW I‘m off on a tangent aren’t I?

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 3:57pmLeaving aside the question of atrocities that may or not have been ordered by Israeli generals, probably the main justification for this otherwise stupid, provocative comment is the presence of the IDF on what Egyptians regard as Arab land, to protect Israel’s “Lebensraum” in the post-1967 settlements. Not really like what the Nazis did to the Jews, more like what they did to the Poles or the Czechs, albeit on a smaller scale.
