→Shortly after WW2
Spirited defence of the Nazi leaders to be tried at Nuremberg shortly, and condemnation of those preparing to prosecute Nazism which is -- as much a way of life as democracy and -- socialism, were contained yesterday in a leading article in the, Falastin.. Arab daily of Jaffa. The trial prepared by the Allies was at the least a very contradiction of humane justice and religious ethics, the paper stated. War criminals, it went on, was a new term devised by a belligerent power for the vanquished side, whereas the responsibility for war crimes devolved upon both. Falastin could understand the trial of Gestapo men who organized political and racial murders, which had no justification on military and security grounds, but asked why the Nazi leaders responsible for disseminating the fundamentals of Nazism, should be brought to trial and where the justice was of trying European quislings? The trial of the founders of the Nazi syste, (Falastin considers) is in effect a blow at the most elementary right: freedom of thought and belief" in which the 20th century excels over the Dark Ages.</small></blockquote></ref> Written in Nov 1945:<ref>The Arab League: Tool or Power?

As a matter of fact, techniques taken over from Hitler and the Nazis are already in use. We have seen the method of putting up a show, threatening the use of non-existent strength and might, resorting to nonsense for propaganda purposes and repeating this nonsense with such vigorous certainty that it becomes accepted as truth.

The "unity” ideal, in its "exclusivist" aspect, can be exploited for fascist purposes and the "unity" drive of the Arab League seems to be approaching that pan-Arab trend which Professor H. A. R. Gibb, of Oxford University, a friend of the Arabs, termed a few years ago "an ignorant, intolerant, explosive force; it substitutes wishing for thinking, fiercely resents not only Christian domination but anything that savors of Christian practice and ideas, dreams of driving European and Jew into the ocean and restoring the glorious empire of the caliphate."

We have already seen efforts to camouflage the movement's own weakness by sowing hatred, inciting to murder and pogroms, and assailing as enemies all those who are not on the League's side. We have seen anti-Jewish riots in Egypt and Libya, the murder of statesmen, student riots against Great Britain and the Egyptian government, the slurring attack of the Arab press in Palestine on President Truman.
