Hádzs Ámin Husszeini

politician

Hádzs Ámin Husszeini was a prominent Palestinian Arab nationalist and a key figure in the Arab resistance against the establishment of Israel. As the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the 1920s and 1930s, he played a significant role in the political landscape of the Middle East, particularly in the rise of Arab nationalism. Husszeini was known for his strong opposition to Zionism and was involved in various political activities aimed at influencing Arab public opinion against Jewish immigration to Palestine. His controversial alliances during World War II, including with Nazi Germany, have made him a contentious figure in history. His actions contributed to the growing antisemitism in the Arab world, particularly in Iraq, where his propaganda fueled violence against Jewish communities, notably during the Farhud pogrom in 1941.
