After the official conference in Bloudan, a largely secret meeting was held in Damascus by more activist delegates called the Conference of Nationalist Youth. The meeting called for stronger action to unite Arab youth and preparatory committee was established to organize a second, larger conference to be held in Europe. Participants included Yunus al-Sab'awi, Kazem al-Solh, Taqi al-Din Solh, Farid Zayn al-Din, Wasfi Kamal, Munir al-Rayyes, Uthman al-Hawrani, Farhan Shubaylat, [[Akram Zuaiter]] and Sabri al-Asali.<ref>Raghid, Sulh. [https://books.google.com/books/about/Lebanon_and_Arabism.html?id=_p8wswEACAAJ Lebanon and Arabism: National Identity and State Formation], I.B.

From 1937, a small Arabic booklet called "Islam and Judaism" began to appear in the Middle East, written by the Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini.  As noted in "The Nazi Palestine," the pamphlet appeared without mentioning a company name.  A year later, the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo published an identical pamphlet stating that it had been written by a cleric and a great sage from Palestine.  The pamphlet was translated into German and Croatian during World War II and distributed to the Bosnian Muslim SS soldiers - the SS Division.  The 13th mountain "Handschar".

This is a clearly anti-Semitic racist booklet, full of anti-Jewish expressions - the Arab Maine-Kampf.  Mufti Amin al-Husseini presents the Jews in this pamphlet as [sic] enemies of Islam, as an irreparable race and as responsible not only for the killing of the Prophet Muhammad, but for all the troubles that befell the Muslims from the beginning of Islam to the present day.</font></blockquote></ref>
