U.S. President Barack Obama was welcomed to Israel and the Palestinian Authority with anti-American and pro-Hitler comments in an opinion piece printed by the PA-run newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida.

“Our history is replete with lies… [including] the lie about al-Qaida and the September 11 [2001] events, which asserted that Muslim terrorists committed it, and that it was not an internal American action by the Freemasons,” Hassan Ouda Abu Zaher wrote in an op-ed published Monday that was translated by Palestinian Media Watch.

The op-ed also suggests that Hitler was greater than both Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

“Churchill and Roosevelt were alcoholics, and in their youth were questioned more than once about brawls they started in bars, while Hitler hated alcohol and was not addicted to it. He used to go to sleep early and wake up early, and was very organized. These facts have been turned upside down as well, and Satan has been dressed with angels’ wings,” the op-ed stated.

The article said negative attitudes toward Nazism were not objective, but the result of the West’s victory in World War II.

“Had Hitler won, Nazism would be an honour that people would be competing to belong to, and not a disgrace punishable by law,” the op-ed said.
