Adolf Hitler’s place in history has been distorted because Germany lost the Second World War, an op-ed piece in the official Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat al-Jadida has claimed.
Instead, Hitler was well-organized, hated alcohol, and went to bed early, while Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt were alcoholics, the op-ed, printed on the eve of President Barack Obama’s visit to the Middle East, claimed.
“Had Hitler won, Nazism would be an honor that people would be competing to belong to, and not a disgrace punishable by law,” the piece written by Hassan Ouda Abu Zaher said, according to a translation provided by Palestinian Media Watch.
The op-ed quoted Napoleon as saying, “History is a great lie written by the victors,” to boost its claim that Hitler has been unjustly maligned since his death.
“Churchill and Roosevelt were alcoholics and in their youth, were questioned more than once about brawls they started in bars, while Hitler hated alcohol and was not addicted to it. He used to go to sleep very early and wake up early and was very organized,” Abu Zaher writes. “These facts have been turned upside down as well, and Satan has been dressed with angels’ wings. …”
Abu Zaher claimed history “is replete with lies” which include the one “about al-Qaida and the Sept. 11 events, which asserted that Muslim terrorists committed it, and that it was not an internal American action by the Freemasons, which was mentioned in the Illuminati game cards ten years before it took place, and in over 15 Zionist and Freemason Hollywood-produced films in the 1990s.”
