מעשה במכתב מהיטלר לנוער הערבי
טעות שגרמה לחקירה ממשלתית ולוויכוחים בבית הנבחרים
ה' אברהים שאנטי, עורכו של 'א־דיפאע' הוא סופר בעל דמיון עשיר וסגנון מלוטש, ורבים קוראיו בין הנוער הערבי.
לפני זמן מה התחיל לפרסם שורה של מכתבים מדומים ממנהיגים לאומיים קיצוניים באירופה, הקרובים לרוחו ומופנים לנוער הערבי...
עד עכשיו נתפרסמו שלשת מכתבים כאלה: האחד מהיטלר בגרמניה (תמציתו באה ב'הארץ' בזמנה), השני ממוסטפת קימאל בטורקיה והשלישי מדי־וואלירה באירלאנד, ה"מכתבים" מעוררים את הנוער לפעול גדולות למען מולדתם, להיות גאים ולהמנע מהכנעה. עתונים עברים אחדים תרגמו מ'א־דיפאע' את מכתבו של 'היטלר' כאילו נשלח באמת מאת מנהיג הנאצים לעתון הערבי.
בקשר עם זה פנו כנראה השלטונות למערכת 'א־דיפאע' ביפו ובקשו ממנה ברורים. 'א־דיפאע' מיום ב' פרסם בירור דברים. בשם 'מכתב מאת המערכת ולא מאת הקנצלר היטלר' מסביר העתון הערבי לקוראיו, איך נהפך מכתב דמיוני זה בעיני עתונים עברים אחרים למכתב אמתי, ואיך גרם הדבר לאי־הבנה ולויכוחים בבית הנבחרים הבריטי ולחקירה מצד ממשלת ארץ ישראל. 'א־דיפאע' מסיים: "שמא באורים אלה יספיקו לשלטונות שפנו אלינו בענין זה וישים קץ לחקירה!''.
"א־דיפאע" ידוע כעתון ערבי המתייחס בחיבה רבה ל'נאצים', מפזר שבחים להיטלר ולעוזדיו, מדפיס תמונות מגרמניה להראות את גודל פעולותיהם של ה'נאצים'. העובדא ש'א־דיפאע' מסתמך על 'היטלר' ודברי ימיו ורוחו לעורר את הנוער הערבי מעידה היטב על פרצופו האמתי של עתון ערבי זה.
An story of a letter from Hitler to the Arab youth
A mistake that caused a government investigation and debates in the House of Commons
Mr. Ibrahim Shanti, the editor of 'A-Difaa', is a writer with a rich imagination and a polished style, and many of his readers are among the Arab youth.
Some time ago he started publishing a series of mock letters from extreme national leaders in Europe, close to his spirit and addressed to the Arab youth...
So far, three such letters have been published: one from Hitler in Germany (an excerpt appeared in Haaretz at the time), the second from Mustafa Kemal in Turkey, and the third from De Valera in Ireland. The "letters" encourage the youth to do great things for their country, to be proud and to avoid submission. Several Hebrew newspapers translated from 'A-Difaa' the letter of 'Hitler' as if it had really been sent by the Nazi leader to the Arab newspaper.
In connection with this, the authorities apparently turned to the 'A-Difaa' editorial board in Jaffa and asked it for clarifications. On Monday, 'A-Difaa' published an explanation. Under the name 'A letter from the editorial board and not from Chancellor Hitler,' the Arab newspaper explains to its readers how this imaginary letter became a real letter in the eyes of other Hebrew newspapers, and how this caused misunderstanding and debates in the British House of Commons and an investigation by the government of Eretz-Israel [Palestine]. 'A-Difaa' concludes: "May these revelations be enough for the authorities who contacted us in this matter and put an end to the investigation!"
'A-Difaa' is known as an Arab newspaper that treats the 'Nazis' very fondly, praises Hitler and his aides, prints pictures from Germany to show the scale of the 'Nazis' actions. The fact that 'A-Difaa' relies on 'Hitler' and his stories and his spirit to inspire the Arab youth is a good indication of the true face of this Arab newspaper.</small></blockquote><small>[Ironically for Mr Shanti, De Valera in 1937 showed his humanity to Jews:
Andrew O’Connor, [https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/de-valera-s-darkest-hour-how-ireland-dealt-with-the-nazi-threat-1.4510908 De Valera’s darkest hour: How Ireland dealt with the Nazi threat], ''Irish Times'', Mar 16 2021.<blockquote><small>Andrew O’Connor on how Ireland sought to protect itself and its Jewish citizens.
In 1937, two years before the outbreak of the war, Article 44 of Ireland’s new Constitution gave the Jewish community recognition and a right to exist within the country. This was a remarkable piece of legislation overseen by the de Valera government. Firstly, because the Jewish faith was being officially recognised and protected in a country where it was increasingly viewed that to be Irish one must be Catholic. But more importantly, it flew in the face of the anti-Semitism that was by then rampant elsewhere in Europe. The new Constitution was signed into law after a referendum, signifying Article 44 also had the backing of the people. However, for all its magnanimity, it is doubtful the new Constitution could have in any way protected Ireland’s Jewish community had there been a German victory.</small></blockquote></ref> which is why E.

In 1942, al-Husaini sent him home to organize covert operations. One of al-Hilali's ideas was to persuade Vichy France to release some North African Arab nationalists if they agreed to join the Axis. The French did so, one of those let go being Tunisia's future president, al-Habib Burqiba, though he never actually helped the Germans. Those willing to collaborate were sent for training at the German commando base at Nizza, Italy.

Awni Abdul Hadi, during the years of the War II, his sympathies were with the Axis Powers and was looking forward to Hitler's victory.

M. Bar I.:
Our "acquaintance" Awni Abdul Hadi - Jordanian Foreign Minister
A central position in the extensive political activity on behalf of the Jordanian government has recently been occupied by Jordanian Foreign Minister Awni Abdul Hadi. He flies from one Arab capital to another, conducts negotiations with various Arab governments, publishes messages on the right and the left, receives great respect and publicity and above all - widely spreads poison from his throat to the "Zionists", an action that has been the main content of his life, for the last thirty years, now, at his old age, his personal ambitions were fulfilled and he was a minister in an Arab government, and not just a minister, but the minister of foreign affairs, but he did not dream of being one of those taking power in Amman, his desire was to be one of the pillars of an Arab government in "Palestine" as a whole - a government that would eliminate the factory the Zionist and expel from the country all the Jews who entered it after the publication of the Balfour Declaration...
He looked forward to Hitler's victory
During the years of World War II, I would often encounter Bey in various places in Jerusalem. Several times I entered into a conversation with him and tried to wonder about his views on the problems of the Land of Israel, and the affairs of the world. It was not difficult to insist that in that war his sympathies were with the Axis Powers. It can be said that he was looking forward to Hitler's victory. In the days leading up to the Battle of El Alamein, like most of the Arab leaders in the country, Bey was in anticipation of the invasion of Rommel's armies into the Nile Valley and the occupation of Israel by the Germans.
After the Germans were defeated in North Africa and the wheel turned on Hitler's victories, he became taciturn in the affairs of the World War, probably out of disappointment at the loss of his hopes. At that time, he withdrew his hand, to a large extent, from involvement in politics, whether out of fear that the British would exile him to a remote land, as they did with some other radical Arab leaders, or whether out of embarrassment, to find his way in those days when the world was engulfed in great conflagration.
His hope is for the sword to prevail in Palestine... </small></blockquote></ref>
