What is Through the Eyes of the Mufti : The Essays of Haj Amin, Translated and Annotated about?

Mufti Haj Amin al-Husayni had no chance of prevailing against the well-organized Zionist movement with its international support. The Palestinian Party that he headed after the First World War was split, conflicted and rife with corruption. In particular, it was isolated, with neighbouring Arab countries more concerned with their own problems. In light of this state of affairs, Haj Amin sought to enlist the help of the Arab and Muslim world in favour of the Palestinians. How did he do this? When appealing to the Arab world he utilized the myth that the Zionists intended to use the Land of Israel as a base from which they would seek to conquer all Arab countries; when appealing to the Muslim world he said that the Jews wished to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque and build their temple on its ruins. Another of the Mufti s myths is the story of the ancient conspiracy , recounting the plot of the British and the Jews to expel the Arabs from Palestine and award the consequently uninhabited land to the Jews. Even though this plot was unsubstantiated, at the time it became anchored in the consciousness of millions of local Palestinians who believed the Mufti s inventions and were alarmed by them
