    Controversy over the Mufti and Holocaust causation article

    Joseph Spoerl published an article through the then-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs arguing that Haj Amin al-Husseini had decisively influenced Hitler's adoption of the Final Solution. Critics disputed the historical evidence for that specific causal claim and noted its similarity to a statement made by Benjamin Netanyahu. The controversy contributed to debate over the institute's political orientation and historical scholarship.
