In reply to the discussion: Thirty one countries adopt working definition of antisemitism [View all]shira
(30,109 posts)62. The next day after the Mufti/Hitler meeting, Heydrich sent out invites to Wannsee....
November 28, 1941 was the date the Mufti met with Hitler:

November 29, 1941 invites to Wannsee (where the Final Solution was discussed):

Combined with Dieter Wiscleny's Nuremberg testimony (which is contested)....
In my opinion, the Grand Mufti, who has been in Berlin since 1941, played a role in the decision of the German government to exterminate the European Jews, the importance of which must not be disregarded. He has repeatedly suggested to the various authorities with whom he has been in contact, above all before Hitler, Ribbentrop and Himmler, the extermination of European Jewry. He considered this as a comfortable solution for the Palestine problem.
In his messages broadcast from Berlin, he surpassed us in anti-Jewish attacks. He was one of Eichmann's best friends and has constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures. I heard him say that, accompanied by Eichmann, he has visited incognito the gas chamber in Auschwitz."

Again with this bullshit... Anti-semitism by definition is hatred of Jews. Any definition.

I'm not really sure who's downplaying the bombing of a synagogue as mere anti-Israel criticism.
