It's enough to call the man and those around him in HIS DAY out.
No one born after Al-Husseini's death is responsible for his crimes, any more than any Israeli born after the death of Baruch Goldstein could be fairly held responsible for what he did to those innocent people in that mosque.
The Palestinians are not the successors to the Third Reich.
And BOTH side in the I/P conflict share responsibility for its continuation. Any moral superiority ever held by the Israeli side was forfeited after the entrenchment of the West Bank Occupation, the creation of the illegal settlements, the invasion of Lebanon and the abetting of the massacre at Sabra and Shatila. Both sides have done serious wrong in this.
