The world just marked the 80thย anniversary of the Farhud, the Arab-Nazi pogrom against the Jews of Baghdad and Basra that occurred on June 1-2, 1941. The term Arab-Nazi is entirely appropriate, not simply because these Arabs were fascist in mind and deed, but because they explicitly identifiedย with Germanyโ€™s Nazi Party. Some of the rioters wore swastikas; more than a fewย marched in the Nuremberg torchlight parades. The Nazi ideology that motivated the Arab slaughterers of Jews in 1941โ€”the desire to exterminate Jews from the face of the earthโ€”motivates the Arabs and Muslims who assault Israelis and Jews today.
