248 COINCIDENCES IN THE BIBLE AND IN BIBLICAL HEBREW
The sheer number of examples in the set given below (and those excluded) has

justified producing this chapter, which examines another interesting coincidence,
this time by combining Jewish history with the Hebrew language.

19.2 The Nazis

The adjective “Nazi” is derived from the name of the Nazi party, established by
Hitler prior to World War II (the National Socialist Party). The Nazi party consti-
tuted the political basis for Hitler’s lawful grab of power in Germany in the 1930s.
It was the dominant party throughout World War II and the implementation of
the “Final Solution” by Hitler and his willing executioners. Six million Jews were
murdered in the Holocaust.
In the Hebrew language, the root of “Nazi” (pronounced “natzi”) has a very

neatzah = a curse
2
le-naetz = to curse

return these territories to Muslim control.
The roots of this organization are in the Muslim Brotherhood , which was
founded in 1928 in Egypt. For many years, the latter was one of the principal
Islamic revivalist movements in the Middle East. They were primarily a social

who killed Egyptian President Anwar Sadat for his peace treaty with Israel . In
1987, after years of concentrating on social and educational activity within the
Palestinian population in Arab areas, the Muslim Brotherhood was confronted
with fundamental challenges in the wake of the intifada in Gaza and the West
Bank. As the uprising became the main focus of the Palestinian Arab population,
the Muslim Brotherhood’s leaders found themselves detached from the events

led by Islamic Jihad and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from their
