→1930s: fascism & Hitler
Another issue that received press coverage and attention in the Arab press during the strike was the Spanish Civil War. The newspaper that did much more than any other newspaper was Falastin. It was also the newspaper that took a clear stance of hostility towards the government forces that Russia supported. He justified his attacks on this camp by the fact that [sic] many Jews are fighting alongside it. He ''knew'' how to frequently report on the many "crimes" allegedly committed by the fighters of that camp, who murder, loot and rape '''any'' woman who gets in their way.</blockquote>

Commenting (Sep.13.38) on Hitler's speech (mentioning Palestine's Arabs), while casting doubts on Hitler's sincere "concern" for them, it still, without being convinced Hitler would be of benefit, boasted Nazi anti-Semitism in the same breath defined what is a dictatorship, ''Falastin'': ''a dictatorship was really a State which had freed [sic] itself of Jewish [sic] influence[sic], while democracies were countries which still bore that onus."<ref>

<blockquote>
FALASTIN DEFINES DICTATORSHIP
PAPER DOUBTS HITLER'S SINCERE CONCERN
Writing in its Tuesday's issue, Falastin devoted a leading article to the theory that Palestine was in the forefront of world affairs, and that the position in Palestine had become more grave in view of Herr Hitler's speech at Nuremberg.
The paper expressed doubts as to whether the German Fuehrer was really and sincerely concerned with Arab rights or merely championed them in order to annoy the Democracies. The reference to Palestine in Herr Hitler's speech showed, the paper added, how parlous the situation here really was.
<i>'Falastin' then explained that a dictatorship was really a State which had freed [sic] itself of Jewish [sic] influence [sic], while democracies were countries which still bore that onus.</i></blockquote></ref><ref>The Advocate: America's Jewish Journal.
