In his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry accused brother Prince William—heir apparent of the British throne—and sister-in-law Princess Kate of recommending that he don a Nazi costume, which he called “one of the biggest mistakes in my life.” On Saturday, he seemed to have made another mistake of an antisemitic ilk.

The Duke of Sussex, currently living in self-imposed exile in California with his wife, Meghan Markle, had an “intimate conversation” with physician and author Gabor Maté about “living with loss and the importance of personal healing,” according to his site. Recordings were forbidden for the live virtual event, which was sponsored by Random House, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones and Indigo Books & Music.

“There is no understanding Gaza out of context—Hamas rockets or unjustifiable terrorist attacks on civilians—and that context is the longest ongoing ethnic cleansing operation in the recent and present centuries, the ongoing attempt to destroy Palestinian nationhood,” Dr. Maté wrote in the Toronto Star in 2014. “The Palestinians use tunnels? So did my heroes, the poorly armed fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto.”

In 2021, he added that Hamas was “nothing compared to the terrorism of the Israeli government,” per the Jewish Chronicle.

Barnes & Noble stated: “The conversation between Prince Harry and Dr. Maté did take place on Saturday. Dr. Maté was qualified to hold this conversation as a renowned expert on trauma and loss. His pioneering work resulted in his receipt of the Order of Canada in 2018, amongst other honors. The discussion was by general consensus a fascinating one and was very well received.”

JNS asked if Barnes & Noble believes—with antisemitism surging reportedly— that comparing Hamas, which Foggy Bottom declares a terrorist group, to Jews who fought Nazis and calling Israel’s leaders terrorists is acceptable, or if it disputes that Dr. Maté made those statements. Barnes and Noble did not respond.

“Whoever made the arrangements to have this individual appear with Prince Harry did him no favors. If Prince Harry knew this man’s record and still chose him for the interview, our center would criticize the prince for such an inappropriate choice,” Abraham Cooper, a rabbi and associate dean at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told the Jewish Chronicle.

  1. Israel is 5000 years old, not 75. The Arabs are on Jewish land, not the reverse. G-d gave us the ‘Holy Land’, that millions of Jews were murdered for. There is nothing to negotiate with the very Arabs aligned with Hitler to ‘Kill All Jews” and want to finish what Hitler started.

    For all Islamic Nazi terrorists the following: Castration, death and pig oil on their bodies, so no 72 virgins. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks, that support the killing of innocent Jewish men, women and children and from the same Arabs that gave out candy and fireworks and also danced in the streets after ‘9/11’

    You can’t make peace with someone who wants to kill you. It’s you or them.

    Save Israeli first; tell your 5000 year history; form your own new League of Nations and ‘Go with G-d’, your best weapon against the Jew, Judaism, Israel and Israeli haters.

    There would be no ’75’, without the 5000. Nurture the roots and the blossoms will grow.

    Israel is G-d’s beloved treasure. Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel, will be cursed.

    The King who gave up his British Crown for his American love, was another British embarrassment who supported Hitler. Harry is just the latest loser appeasing the Nazis.
    Churchill never bombed the rail lines into those ‘death camps’ which are the world’s largest Jewish cemeteries. We want them back to show proper respect and tell the truth about what really happened and end the crass commercialism, Vaticanization and trivialization of the Holocaust.

    Also, the Brits brought in 125 Einsatgruppen Nazis, who murdered over 1 million Jews and never were put on trial.

    The Brits were always with Arab/Muslim oil, not Jewish blood. Their Middleeast politics has been one awful sin after another.

    Jews have been ‘occupying’ Jerusalem for 3000 years, while Britain sides with the Islamic Nazis, to divide it and Israel.

    The former Queen and now King Charles seem to be supportive of Israel and Holocaust survivors.

    Harry has attacked the Royals, his own family, publicly and so the Nazi costume and his flirting with Jew and Israeli haters, seems par for the course.

    What an embarrassment on many levels.
