Creating a “usable” past: On holocaust denial and distortion

The Shi'ite regime in Iran strongly denies the Holocaust, and this was especially the case during the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. A congress on denial was held in Tehran in 2006, and another in 2009. One Hamid Reza Nikbakhsh (a member of the Iranian World War II Society in Tehran) published an e-book entitled The Holocaust: The Jews’ Greatest Lie. Holocaust denial unites Sunni and Shi'ite radicals. Thus, Hussein Triki, the former Arab League representative in Argentina, a Sunni—and not a radical Islamist but rather a mainstream figure—appeared on the Iranian Al-Alam network on March 2, 2011, and said that “the Holocaust was invented by global Zionism. The proof of this is that they presented different figures.”

Headed by Hussein Triki, an admitted Nazi sympathizer, the Arab League had connections with many influential circles. Its voice was the Nacion Arabe, a magazine that stressed the bogey of Jewish "dual allegiance" and asserted that "rich Jewish capitalists" sent all their money to Israel. It urged an economic and political boycott of Israel, acknowledged contact with illegal Nazi groups in Argentina, and, under the guise of anti-Zionism, conducted an intense anti-Jewish campaign. To combat these activities, DAIA made continuous representations to all high government officials and all political parties. In Rosario an Arab-Jewish League was organized to improve relations between the two groups. In September Triki was recalled to Egypt and was replaced by General Esam Helmy El Masry. In August Nation Arabe ceased publication. It was replaced in September by another magazine, Patria Bdrabara, which closed down three months later.

The letter also declared that Arab League agents were seeking to convert Argentina into “a battlefield for Middle East problems and trying to impose the Arab League boycott on Argentine firms.” El Siglo asserted that recent statements made by Triki in reply to charges that he sponsored anti-Semitic terrorism in Argentina had provoked a “great impact” in all newspapers and news agencies.

The meeting took place shortly after an Arab League rally was held here with official permission at which speakers repeatedly shouted “long live Hitler” and “Jews to the furnace” and “make soap of them. ” The meeting was sponsored by the “Arab Youth Union” in tribute to Hussein Triki, Arab League chief representative in Argentina. The pro-Nazi meeting was held in a theater which was jammed by an audience which saw youth members of the Tacuara and the Guardia Nacionalista, two ultra-Nationalist and anti-Semitic groups which have been banned, repeatedly give the Nazi salute while shouting the anti-Semitic slogans.

The contemplated Foreign Ministry action against Hussein Triki, acting head of the league office here, would be the first public move to counter the recent wave of anti‐Semitism that Jewish community leaders believe is being promoted by Arab states in a worldwide drive to discredit Israel. Mr. Triki, an Egyptian, has been conducting a campaign in which he portrays “international Zionism” as an ally of the Castro conspiracy in Latin America and in which he has questioned the loyalty of Argentine Jews toward their country. The campaign has been conducted through press conferences, publications and posters. It has drawn the increasing criticism of political leaders, the strongest being a demand by the provincial legislature of Cordoba that Mr. Triki be expelled. Firm police measures to repress anti‐Semitism also were demanded. The league office, representing 13 Arab states, ostensibly complements diplomatic missions in spreading the idea of Arab‐Latin American cooperation. But it appears to be devoting its efforts largely to the denunciation of Jewish organizations as betrayors of Argentina's sovereignty. The influence of the campaign was shown last month when a spate of charges in the league's monthly publication, Nacón Arabe, that Jewish civic groups and schools were plotting with Castro agents to subvert political and economic order served as the basis for a demand by a Peronist deputy, Juan Comejo Linares, that Congress investigate the loyalty of Jews working for the Government and look into the activities of these Jewish organizations. Two weeks ago an explosion demolished four stories of a residential hotel, killing 11 persons. The explosion was caused by plastic bombs stored by a Communist cell, according to the police. Mr. Triki called a press conference at which he said that the incident “fully confirms that a Zionist conspiracy is at work using Castro Communists as a cover.” Simultaneously, Nacion Arabe posters were put up throughout the city charging Jewish complicity in the spectacular explosion and saying that Israel was arming the Argentine terrorists. Jewish leaders are fearful of the impact the campaign is having in creating an atmosphere of suspicion and hostility toward Argentina's half million Jews. The campaign has begun to create concern within the Government. Until recently it took the position that the issue was being overemphasized by Jewish leaders. President Arturo U. Illia promised a delegation of Progressive Democratic party officials Friday that he would speed changes in the rules of criminal procedure that would enable the Government to outlaw the Tacuara and other rightist groups posing a threat to peace. Interior Minister Juan Palmero said today he was studying the recent anti‐Semitic outbreaks to determine how they could he avoided. https://www.nytimes.com/1964/08/09/archives/argentina-talks-of-ousting-arab-official-accused-of-leading.html The Notional Jewish POST and OPINION Friday, September 25, 1964 p.12 Arab League Removes Triki in Latin America BUENOS AIRES — Hussein Triki, director of the Arab League office for Latin America and the conductor of often vicious anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist campaigns during his tenure, has been replaced, according to the (London) Jewish Chronicle. The new director is Efam Helmy El Masry. Triki, who is on an “extended vacation” in Tunisia, is expected to return later this year as his assistant. Triki had long been a source of both official and unofficial embarrassment to Argentine authorities. However, he was not asked to leave because they did not wish to offend the Arab countries. Also, Triki married an Argentine woman, causing difficulties in his visa status. However, matters came to a head recently as various segments of Argentine society mounted a public campaign of protest against Triki. It is believed Argentina finally was forced to take the initiative to “suggest” he leave the country as soon as possible, a suggestion to which he complied. https://newspapers.library.in.gov/cgi-bin/indiana?a=d&d=JPOST19640925-01.1.12&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Argentina Reports Hussein Triki, Arab League Agent, Has Left JTA, 1964/08/31 Hussein Triki, foremost agent of the Arab League in Argentina, has left this country, according to press reports here today.

In Berlin and Paris Triki collaborated with the “Maghreb” organization, a bureau run by North Africans who worked for Axis war industries.

At that time he represented the FLN , and made contact with various young left - wing, nationalist and Peronist elements, who greeted him as an anti - imperialist fighter. This explains his great prestige in influential Argentine political circles, labor leaders included. As Arab League representative, Triki opened his career by declaring that "he was not an anti-Semite, since he himself was Semitic” . His job, he said , was "to fight international Zionism, the common enemy of the Argentine and Arab peoples.” Triki publishes a magazine called The Arab Nation.

Triki developed a broad spectrum of Arab propaganda and managed to create embarrassing situations within Argentine pressure groups. In 1964 he announced that the Confederacion General del el trabajo (CGT General Confederation of Labor) had subscribed to an anti-Jewish act promoted by the Arab League, forcing the CGT to deny it through the press. During the same year important personalities in the three branches of government, in the three divisions of the Armed Forces, as well as in the Church hierarchy and the the labor movement, were approached in order to promote antisemitic sentiments both in person and by means of letters and leaflets.” The slogans of Arab propaganda in Argentina do not differ from those utilized in other parts of the world. Already during the 1950s anti-Zionism was the major concern. Anything that smacked of antisemitism was considered to be against the “fictitious” State of Israel, or anti-imperialism, or anti-colonialism. Because Argentina has a large majority of Catholics, it was often alleged that Holy places were desecrated in Israel and that the Catholic Church was persecuted there. https://books.google.com/books?id=kg0sAAAAIAAJ&q=%22agitator,+Hussein+Triki%22 https://books.google.com/books?id=kg0sAAAAIAAJ&q=sympathizer Argentina, Israel, and the Jews: Perón, the Eichmann Capture and After - Raanan Rein - 2002 - p. 402 Throughout the 1960s, Tacuara drew additional inspiration for its antiSemitic and anti-Israel views from contacts both with neo-Nazi organizations in other countries and Hussein Triki, the Arab League's representative in Buenos Aires, who promoted anti-Semitism under cover of anti-Zionism and as part of the anti- colonialist, anti-imperialist struggle. Triki told Catholic circles in Argentina that the Christian holy places in Israel were being desecrated and that the Catholic Church was persecuted there.” During the years of World War II, Triki had been a member of the nationalist movement in Tunisia. After the Allied victory in El Alamein, Triki escaped to Nazi-controlled territory where he disseminated propaganda against the Allies, collaborating with the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin El-Husseini, who at the time was directing Nazi propaganda broadcasts in the Middle East. https://books.google.com/books?id=HQPjAAAAMAAJ&dq=&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22Triki%C2%A0escaped%22 The Ideological Origins of the Dirty War: Fascism, Populism, and Dictatorship in Twentieth Century Argentina - Federico Finchelstein - Oxford University Press, Mar 21, 2014 - History - 232 pages Triki, who had been accused in an American Jewish publication of having been a collaborator of the Nazis in the Middle East during World War II, had a long list of nacionalista acquaintances in Argentina, long list of nacionalista acquaintances in Argentina, including famous ones like Manuel Fresco and Alberto Baldrich, An antiSemite who was well informed of the traditions of Argentine fascism, Triki quoted from the fake antiSemitic tract The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and from the work of Hugo Wast.

In February 1977 the community was alarmed by the presence in Venezuela of Hussein Triki, a Tunisian who had been a Nazi collaborator. His antisemitic activities were known to Latin American Jews particularly from the 1960s, when he had been secretary of the Arab League office in Buenos Aires. Triki was invited to speak at the Central University of Venezuela and before the Venezuelan Press Association, ostensibly to discuss the Middle East situation and to publicize his book, He aqui Palestina: el sionismo al desnudo ("Palestine Revealed: Zionism Unmasked"). Intense efforts were made to alert the Venezuelan government to his background and to prevent him from establishing a base of operations in the country. Other than Triki, Abelardo Raidi, who was of Arab descent, a former congressional deputy, and a columnist for the prestigious Caracas daily El Nacional, has been disseminating the pro-Arab line. In June 1975 the walls of the city of Valencia were plastered with posters announcing a mass meeting in support of the Palestinian people and warning against "Zionist penetration in national politics and the economy.".. https://books.google.com/books?id=b8FMk5AFAAsC&q=triki http://www.ajcarchives.org/AJC_DATA/Files/1978_8_LatAmerica.pdf https://www.jstor.org/stable/23604305 Arab Propagandist, Ousted by Argentina, Now in Venezuela March 8, 1977 Hussein Triki, an Arab propagandist ousted by the Argentine government in 1964 because of his inflammatory anti-Semitic actions, is now in operation in Venezuela, according to the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. Triki, as head of the Arab League office in Buenos Aires in the early 1960s, worked closely with Tacuara, a rightwing, anti-Semitic group, and other neo-Nazi elements in Argentina. Gerald M. Quiat, vice-chairman of ADL’s Latin American affairs committee, said that Triki is using the same tactics in Venezuela as he did in Argentina and has the same goals–to promote the Arab cause through hatred of Jews and Israel. Triki launched his propaganda campaign in Venezuela in January with a lecture on “International Zionism” at the School of Journalism of the Central University of Venezuela in Caracas. He also began distributing his book, “Zionism Unmasked,” which has a foreword by Dr. Domingo Alberto Rangel, a Venezuelan economist who is a fierce opponent of the present government. INSIDIOUS ATTACK ON JEWS Although he denies being anti-Jewish, Triki says in his lectures that he “cannot speak of Zionism without speaking of Judaism.” He attacks what he describes as the Jews’ efforts to dominate the world and cites the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” as proof. Advocating that Israelis should be returned to the lands from which they came, he declares that “we cannot make peace with those who have robbed our homes.” Just as he did in Argentina, Triki tells Venezuelan audiences that Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the countries in which they live. He takes credit for Tacuara’s propaganda tactic to gain public support by attacking Jews as “Zionists,” and therefore subversive, Quiat reported. According to the ADL official, Triki’s Nazi leanings date back to World War II when he belonged to the “Neo-Destour,” an organization in Tunisia, which operated with the consent of German authorities during the Nazi occupation. He also did propaganda work against the Allies in collaboration with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who was in charge of Nazi broadcasts to the Middle East, and with pro-Nazi Arab emigres in Germany. Quiat said that Triki poses a threat to the 15,000 Jews in Venezuela. “In view of his record as an anti-Semitic agitator,” the ADL official said, “we hope that the government of Venezuela will take appropriate measures to prevent his stimulating internal discord.” https://www.jta.org/1977/03/08/archive/arab-propagandist-ousted-by-argentina-now-in-venezuela Israeli-Latin American Relations - Page 22 - Edy Kaufman, Yoram Shapira, Joel Barromi · 1979 · History The Arab League... in most cases it was relations with the extreme Right and antisemitic groups that was stressed.

Granada fell on January 2, 1492, and the American continent was discovered on October 12, 1492, a mere nine months and ten days after the fall of Granada. All the waves of the people who reached those countries with Christopher Columbus came from Andalusia.

The proof of this is that they presented different figures: Once they said that there were two million victims and whatever, until they reached the figure of six million Jews.

This study proved – or tried to prove – that if Israel was not among those who fabricated 9/11, it at the very least had prior knowledge of it, and it betrayed the US by refraining from warning it.
