The Wikipedia entry has some of his English publications about the connection between Naziism and Arab anti-semitism. I recommend the link to a Transatlanzic Intellligencer article on Joschka Fischer. Just last week I was talking to a German friend who was surprised to hear that Mein Kampf is popular in the Arab world. I guess that means that Küntzel's work is still largely under the radar here.

The cost, however, is eternal warfare because if you don't become more like your enemies, if you don't think or act more like your enemies, then you will never defeat them. Just as Israel has never defeated the Palestinians and Arabs. Whooped their arses in battles, sure, but defeating them as a force or nation? No. If you like watching your kids blow up in the streets every year on the year, then I suppose people willing to pay that cost are free to refuse to become more like their mortal enemies if they truly wish. They are the ones paying the price, after all. America has a good track record of adopting enemy traditions and customs. Whether that be Native American (Navajo code talkers), Japanese (Army martial arts curriculum came from the people who studied in the East and came back to America), or many other different cultures that America has assimilated. That is a key source of America's rejuvenating strength. Other cultures stagnate and then decrease in power. America has always had a fresh infusion of new blood whenever things were going not so good. That, in itself, is divine providence. Which justifies my phrase "a rare rarity". Democracies and republics are rare just by themselves. A successful republic like Rome that could conquer the world and hold it for hundreds of years, is a rare rarity.

Except the "occupation" in Arab terms simply means, Jews living in Israel. Plus the PLO was formed in 1964… can’t blame the “occupation” in 1964….
