In 1938, two years after the Arabs first rose up against the British and Jews in Palestine, the self-proclaimed religious fighter Abu Durra, leader of the uprising movement in the northern district of Palestine, appealed directly to Adolf Hitler as the 'great leader of Germany, who created everlasting honour and glory for his nation', to inform him of the 'atrocities and cruelties' of the British military government. In a letter to Hitler dated 23 December 1938, he added: 'This unjust government perpetrated every barbarity and committed every cruelty. It blew up numerous villages, arrested thousands of peaceful residents and seriously abused them. It hanged men, robbed possessions, destroyed their houses and dwellings; it also tried to question their honour. Shame on this government and shame on their alleged justice and civilization!' Then Abu Durra wrote about the Jews:

We will tell them what you, the leader of Germany, said about the Jews during a conflict: he, who in the midst of bullets and shells, takes the cigarette from his brother does not deserve to enjoy it at a time of peace. The Jew, who was stingy towards you with cigarettes during the war, can in no way be useful to Germany. I would not like to make you, great German leader, acquainted with the Jews. You know them and their history, and knew them even before we met them. Abu Durra ended by expressing the following wish: 'That you, who with one word makes Europe tremble, bring our cause to all of Europe'...
