Hassan Jouni, who lectures about international relations at Beirut University, said in a March 28, 2019 interview on Al-Manar TV (Lebanon) that the U.S. and the Zionist movement funded Hitler so that he would come to power. He said that the U.S. still has the same imperialist policies today and that it funds the "new fascism" through the Arab Gulf countries.
Following are excerpts:
Hassan Jouni: In the past, when fascism was on the rise, it was the United States of America that directly funded it. Mr. Hitler was blamed for starting WWII – which he did – but it was the U.S. and the Zionist movement that funded him. This was documented. Starting in 1929, they funded him so that he would come to power. Today, the United States of America funds… It has the same arrogant and imperialist policies and all the barbaric [policies] one could expect from such a globalist regime. It wanted to control the world all on its own after the USSR collapsed.
[…]
The [American] funding today… Instead of giving direct funding… The Shell [oil company], the German [Thyssen] Krupp company… All of these companies funded Hitler, and today the responsibility has been given to the Arab Gulf. Arab money funds the new fascism.
