Only Nazis had paramilitary wings to their political party
FALSE:
All political parties in the Weimar Republic had some version of a paramilitary wing. Politics in 1920s Germany was a blood sport, often literally. The Nazi party and the communist party had the most altercations, and the Nazi party had the most disciplined paramilitary group.
Hitler was elected
FALSE:
Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party. The Nazi party only got 33% of the national vote, with the majority coming from the area of Bavaria. The Wiemer Republic required its legislative body (the Reichstag) to have the percentage of legislatures equal to that of the vote so that the Reichstag had 33% Nazis. The party with the majority, albeit a very small one, chose to create a coalition with the Nazis to gain control of the Reichstag, In doing so they appointed Hitler Chancellor (second in command) equivalent to a Vice President.

The Holocaust is not related to current events in the Middle East
FALSE:
Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem were in a pact, initiated by the Grand Mufti, to work together to rid the world of Jews. The Grand Mufti sent 20,000 troops to help Hitler fight in North Africa and other majority Muslim areas of Europe. Post WWII, the Grand Mufti's work was continued during his lifetime as seen in the war of 1948 where immediately upon Israel being declared an independent nation its Muslim neighbors entered into war to prevent that from happening. It is what Muslims refer to as the Nakba. Sadly, the Grand Mufti and the leaders of various jihadist groups in the neighboring Arab countries led people to believe that once Israel was established the Jews would massacre every Muslim within their territory. Most fled to avoid such a fate. When the war was over and they saw that life in Israel was not what had been told to them, they tried to return but it was too late. Over time the areas of Gaza and the Judea and Samaria (referred to as the West Bank) became Palestinian (Israeli Muslim) areas. After the Grand Mufti's death, his virulent antisemitic teachings continued via his nephew from Egypt, Yasser Arafat- president of the Palestinian Authority, chairman of the PLO (an early version of Hamas), leader of the political party Fatah, member of the Muslim Brotherhood, creator of the Palestinian flag (the Jordanian flag without a star) and its refugee narrative, as well as instigator of the 6 day war of 1967. Just as the Nazis had their swastika, the Grand Mufti, and later his nephew Arafat, adopted the Keffiyeh as their symbol of unity under the umbrella of Jew hatred.
The Grand Mufti's desire to be the Hitler of the Middle East continues into the 21st century through his teachings. The most recent attempts to "finish the job Hitler started" can be seen in the events of October 7 2023. Mein Kampf, Hitler's book outlawed in Germany, is the top seller in Palestine and many of its Arab neighbor countries. Iran, formerly the country of Persia, under the Islamo-facist regime connected to the teachings of the Grand Mufti changed its name to Iran as it sought to name itself the land of Aryans.
The current hate among Middle Eastern Muslims towards Jews dates back to Hitler, whose own hate was influenced by the Eugenics based Antisemitism of the early 1900s.
