"No one is entitled to judge war criminals," says Falastin. "If the Germans had won the war they would not have acted thus. All is fair in war." The Nazi leaders were "men of vision," according to the paper which sees Nazism as a way of living like any other," suiting millions and chosen freely by them.

Allied endeavors to root out Nazism are criminal, undemocratic...</small></blockquote></ref><ref>Palestine. (1946). Vol. 3. United States: AZC, [https://books.google.com/books?id=o_EettJ1tD8C&q=Falastin+Defends+Nazism p. 3].<blockquote><small>

Rights Without Obligations.
 +
 
 +
The ideological defeat that has followed the military victory of the democracies is beginning to unravel before our eyes in all its ugliness.
 +
A case in point is the relationship between the Arab States and the United Nations.
 +
Having been actively or passively in Hitler's camp all through the war , the Arab States were invited to jump on the bandwagon of the democracies when the defeat of the Axis became an absolute certainty.
 +
To this they graciously consented.
 +
The were allowed to join the U.N.O., without even being asked for guarantees that in the future they would abide by the principles and ideology of progressive mankind. They were welcomed as they were, with their medieval way of life, reactionary background and pro-Nazi leanings. No wonder that the Arab ruling cliques now feel free openly to disregard and even violate the fundamental principles of world peace and cooperation; free, even to defend Nazi ideology and glorify Adolf Hitler. An Arab newspaper in Jaffa, Falastin, protests against the Nuremberg trials, stating that "Nazism ought not to be tried in court, because it is just a principle, like democracy or Socialism." Another Arab daily in Palestine, Ad Difaa, the ex-Mufti's organ which was subsidized by Dr. Goebbels, gives much prominence to Adolf Hitler's recently discovered political testament, quoting his allegations that the Jews were responsible for the war and printing a large photograph of the Fuhrer on its front page.
 +
If the above belongs to the category of ideological regurgitation, the boycott of Jewish-Palestinian goods proclaimed by the Arab League is a direct assault upon the system of world cooperation. Iraq's and Syria's official refusal to grant visas, even transit visas, to Jews on racial grounds is a slap in the face of the entire democratic world. Ibn Saud's recent statement that the Arabs would not fight the Jews "because we consider them unworthy foes" is further proof that one can belong to the U.N.O. without dropping Nazi ideology and phraseology and further indication of how dangerous it is to have members of the United Nations who enjoy all rights but refuse any obligations.</small></blockquote></ref> Written in Nov 1945:<ref>The Arab League: Tool or Power?
