At the April 1922 ''Establishment of a National Home in Palestine. Hearings,'' Shatara said the suffering of Jewish pogrom victims in Europe was "nothing to compare" with the burden of heavy taxes that Palestine’s Arabs endured under Turkish rule.

<blockquote><small>
Arabs Linked American Fascists.
New York (JPS) Documentary evidence that the Arab Office in Washington and affiliated pan-Arabic propaganda agencies in the United States are closely allied with native fascist individuals and groups in a widespread propaganda campaign to stir up hatred against the Jews, in an attempt for Arab demands in Palestine, has been presented to President Truman by the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League.
The League urges President Truman to institute immediately an investigation of the Arab Office and its network of agencies to determine whether their propaganda activities might have been financed directly by funds made available to the Arab League countries, through lendlease, or indirectly, through the treasury of a third power, and whether these activities violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act or other United States Statutes.
The Arab Office in Washington is registered with the Justice Department as American agent for the seven Arab countries which constitute the Arab League.
According to documents presented to the President by the Anti-Nazi League. Anwar Bekir Nashashibi, of the Arab Office’s executive staff, on occasion joined forces with Gerald L. K. Smith, America First party leader, the National Blue Star Mothers of Pennsylvania and similar groups, in the promotion of anti-Semitic propaganda In Philadelphia, New York and else where.
Also involved in these activities are Khlousy Khairy, officially registered Secretary Director of the Arab Office, and other members of the staff.
The Anti-Nazi League also charged, in its presentation to President Truman, that leaders of the old Nazi-supported Arab National League, including former associates of Bund Fuehrer Fritz Kuhn, currently are active in pan-Arabic propaganda, through the Institute of Arab American Affairs, Inc. H. I.
