The multiplicity of parties led to an awakening in the Arab street. All parties were dragged along by the extremists of the Istiqlal, whose newspaper al-Difa'a became a Nazi propaganda pamphlet. They made efforts to attract the masses with national recommendations, strong hatred of Jews and extreme demands from the authorities. The fascist regimes in Germany and Italy were a source of inspiration and imitation to the national Arab movement. As early as 1932, the newspaper Al-Carmel wrote: "The Nazi movement is a symbol, it is a source of hope - Arab nationalism must adopt the methods of its leaders in their pursuit of independence and freedom."

 +
Arab 'anti-Semitism.'
 +
 
 +
We knew quite well, that the official leaders of the Arabs of the country and their journalists hate "Zhayion" [sic] and the Jewish settlement in Israel in general. The causes and reasons are known. They are not in any case showing hostility towards the Zionists and the Jews in Israel, they would repeat and emphasize that they are free from hatred of the Jewish-people, from anti-Semitism. On the contrary, they would boast at every opportunity of their rights, related to the love of the Jewish-people in the past, and as if their hatred in the present did not apply to the Jewish community, the events in Germany came and revealed the true face of this Semites. Three daily newspapers in [Eretz-Yisrael] Palestine, which reflect the opinions of Arab leaders and the active political class: 'Falastin' - فلسطين, 'Al-Jami'a al-Arabiyya' - الجامعة العربية and 'Al-jamā'ah al-islāmīyah' - الجماعة الإسلامية. To begin with, there was a difference in the attitude of these newspapers towards the persecution of the Jews in Germany. 'Falastin' wrote several times against the persecutions, although in a very lukewarm tone, the two Muslim newspapers drowned from the first moment any small comment about opposition to the persecution of a people — in case they did not forget to attach such a comment — in a flood of harsh words, slander and justification of the persecution of the Jews. And the next day, 'Falastin' also followed them. The crown of Arab anti-Semitism in the events of Germany goes without a doubt to the Mufti newspaper: 'Al-Jami'a al-Arabiyya.' This newspaper supported Hitlerism in the past, because fascist nationalism is its ideal. It always repeated the slogan: we support Hitler and only one thing will violate our joy. With his victory, his rule will increase the flow of Jewish immigration to Israel. And here Hitler came to power, terrible persecutions took place against the Jews of Germany, and 'Al-Jami'a' immediately sided with the Nazis to protect them from the "false [sic] Jewish" propaganda. Almost every day, original and translated articles appear in this newspaper fighting the news about "so-called persecutions", (الاضطهاد .) All the world's newspapers and German government laws are false, and only a denial of the Nazis' are credible to the editor of 'Al Jamiah'. Several times he claimed in main articles from the government on the "insult" of the German consuls in Jerusalem and Jaffa at the hands of the Jews, and "establishes" in connection with this the inferiority of the
 +
Jewish race in comparison to the Germans. And it was not enough to pit the Arabs against the Jews, but he began to pit the Jews against the Germans in Palestine. In the issue of May 16, he writes in this vein: There has been a German diaspora in Palestine for decades.... And in his speech about the Jews in Germany he writes (ibid.) "The Nazis rose up against the German Jews, who spread..." And the editor of 'Islamiya' writes simply (on May 22): "When Hitlerism appeared, the Arabs cheered and rejoiced, saying: A blow from heaven in the hands of others." … Well, the 600 thousand Jews in Germany are the 600 thousand ancestors of German communism! Is it just ignorance here? And are there any ignorance here at all? But between 'Al-Jami'a' and 'Islamiyah' there is a difference of opinion on one point: according to the former, Hitler caused a loss to Palestine by increasing the aspiration and immigration to the land, whereas the latter account of the owner of 'Islamia' is of great win to all "seekers of justice: "First of all, the strongest Jewish community in Europe must be torn to pieces, and in any case, Jewry in general is weakened. Second, there is no doubt that Hitler's ideas will also spread to other countries, according to the "Law of the Spread of Contagious Diseases," and Jewry will be destroyed there as well. And third, now the end will come to the rule of England and France in the world. Italy has already risen and Germany is now standing beside it. Well, looting of systems, a new equilibrium, and here is a convenient opportunity for "those seeking justice." The main "demander of justice" of "Islamia" removed all veils here: his ambition - the destruction of Jewry. Of course, 'Falastin' needs no lesson in anti-Semitism and hatred of the Jews from its Muslim friends. It stands on the 'height' of place and time. All the conspiracies and lies that the anti-Semites in the world have concocted from time to time in relation to the Jews are chewed up every day in this newspaper and are presented to the reader with the addition of a well-known "Palestinian spice". The newspaper tries to publish any news that contains any "denouncing" of Hitler's opponents, and concludes (May 4): "We did not doubt it at all, since the Jewish newspapers began to widely spread their abundant lies [sic] about the persecution of Jews in Germany, because they are false [sic] in their information, and criminals in their signature on the German people, who gave modern culture so much philosophical science and art." Of the small Arab newspapers, 'Mir'at Al-Sharq مرﺁة الشرق - ' was the only one, which expressed human sorrow for the persecution of the Jews in Germany, but demanded a price for this expression: renouncing the Balfour Declaration! For anyone who knows the heads of the strata in the Arab camp, there is no surprise in the 'anti-Semitic' revelation of the Arab newspapers. We know it..! However, what is interesting about this whole phenomenon is that in the same pages where these Muslim Arabs are standing alongside Hitler, who declares to the world that his plan is to place the Jewish community, which has lived in Germany no less than during the days of Islam on earth, outside of any civil law — in those pages, the Arabs of the country are literally "scream bloody murder" on persecution of their brothers in North Africa! And those Muslim Arabs, who see themselves as being persecuted in several places, have no desire to listen to the moans of other persecuted people. .. And from here there is only one and only conclusion regarding Eretz Yisrael: the Arab leaders are already Hitlerites in idea, and woe and woe to the Jewish community in Israel if they are given power. The 'anti-Semitic disclosure' regarding the events in Germany should be used as a political document for us in any political negotiations about the regime in Israel. This is for the outside.

Signs of sympathy for Hitler and Nazism grew on the Arab street. The swastika flag was also hoisted over Arab homes, Arab cars, and even Arab shoe polishers adorned their crates with the Nazi emblem. Dr. Franz Reichert, a writer for the German News Agency (DNB) in Jerusalem, provided free money to the Arab press, propaganda and photographs about the life of the renewed Germany, and these would devote entire pages to this material. The British saw Dr. Reichert as the main puller In the Nazi spy network in the country, but no action was taken against him. In May 1935, the Palestine-Israeli police learned that extremist Arab nationalists were preparing to form the "Palestinian Nazi Party" in order to fight the Jews in coordination with the sister party in the Reich.

 +
In Palestinian schools, children are taught to hate Jews not because of the lack of a "political horizon." In mosques, clergy preach to hate and murder Jews not because of the lack of a "political process." Palestinian television and radio are inciting the murder of Jews not because of a "political stalemate."

 +
The calls for the murder and extermination of the Jews are a permanent matter in the propaganda of jihad. The Palestinian leadership of both Hamas and the PA are partners in spreading hatred against Jews. All those young people who go out to stab with occasional Jewish knives do so because of the fanatical hatred and not because of the checkpoints. Palestinian boys who try to murder Jews their age do so out of hatred of Jews and not because there is a lack of budgets for schools in the West Bank.

Solange der Weltkrieg andauerte, gab es für meine Eltern keine andere Zuflucht als das Land Israel, und da konnten sie praktisch nur als Teil der jüdischen Gesellschaft leben. Mein Vater sagte sich vermutlich, dass er nicht aus der jüdischen Gemeinde in Berlin ausgetreten war, um in Palästina sein Leben für sie zu geben, aber er konnte sich natürlich mit dem Kampf gegen das Naziregime identifizieren und wusste auch, dass die meisten Führer der Araber Palästinas die Nazis unterstützten. Kaum ein Jahr vor dem Aufruf zum Einrücken hatte er in der Zeitung lesen können, dass der Mufti Hadsch Amin al-Husseini sich in Berlin aufhielt und unter anderem mit Hitler konferierte. In jenen Wochen häuften sich die Nachrichten über die Judenvernichtung. Und so meldete er sich schließlich. In seiner »Urkunde über Pflichterfüllung« heißt es: »Übernahm die ihm übertragene Aufgabe.« Es steht nicht da, welche Aufgabe das war. Seine Einheit wurde zum laufenden Schutz der jüdischen Stadtviertel eingesetzt. Mein Vater konnte sich einreden, er verteidige Frau und Tochter.

"I don't think it would be wrong to say that we were enthusiastic supporters of Germany," Qaddoumi said in the interview, when asked by the interviewer, "Were you sympathetic with Nazi Germany in WWII? "
 +
The interviewer, seeking to clarify, then said, "You supported Hitler and his people." Qaddoumi replied, "Germany, yes. This was common among the Palestinians, especially since our enemy was Zionism, and we saw that Zionism was hostile to Germany, and vice versa."
 +
These remarks are just the latest evidence of the Arab support for Nazis and for genocide of Jews.
 +
Recently, MEMRI posted clips from two separate rallies at Al-Quds University, in which Islamic Jihad members, cheered on by other students, take part in a live performance at which they brandish imitation assault rifles and black Islamist flags, and give Nazi salutes.
 +
The live "show" features terrorists killing Israeli soldiers and executing a "collaborator", who is denounced as a "traitor" and a "spy", and suggests that the initial pictures, which were first released by British journalist Tom Gross, were not from a one-off incident but evidence of a much wider phenomenon.
 +
Many Israelis point to the lionization of Nazi and other anti-Semitic figures as a reason to doubt the sincerity of the Palestinian Authority's commitment to any future peace agreement.
 +
Just this past October, for example, Jewish motorists were horrified to see a Nazi flag flying over a major road near the Arab town of Beit Umar. The flag had apparently been placed there by residents of the town, located near Hevron.
 +
That incident was in fact the second occasion in which Beit Umar residents had flown a Nazi flag over the same highway, in an apparent "gesture" to their Jewish neighbors.
 +
Later that same month, a youth magazine linked to the Palestinian Authority published a list of "famous quotes" from none other than Adolf Hitler, aimed at glorifying the Nazi leader.
 +
Also in October, reacting to ongoing incidents of incitement and anti-Semitism by the Palestinian Authority, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu noted the deep link between the Palestinian national movement and Germany's Nazi regime.
 +
Netanyahu noted that Haj Amin Al-Husseini, the founder of "Palestinian nationalism", was an admirer and supporter of Adolf Hitler, had met the Nazi Fuhrer on numerous occasions and was actively involved in encouraging Hitler and his henchmen in their project of annihilating the Jewish people.

‘Arabs admire our Fuhrer’ - “The Palestinian Arabs show on all levels a great sympathy for the new Germany and its Fuhrer, a sympathy whose value is particularly high as it is based on a purely ideological foundation,” a Nazi official in Palestine wrote in a letter to Berlin in 1937. He added: “Most important for the sympathies which Arabs now feel towards Germany is their admiration for our Fuhrer, especially during the unrests, I often had an opportunity to see how far these sympathies extend. When faced with a dangerous behaviour of an Arab mass, when one said that one was German, this was already generally a free pass.”

* A founder of the League for Arab-Jewish Friendship, after consulting with all her Jewish friends who have been in contact with Arabs for many years, and with all her Arab friends, in May 1942: "The vast majority of Arabs in Palestine and throughout the Middle East believe that Hitler will conquer the whole world. The current Arab leaders, who all support Hitler, believe he will win because they want him to win. The Arab masses also believe that Hitler is the most powerful force in the entire world, and therefore he is obliged to come out with the upper hand.

* Dec 21, 1942 letter, representatives of the Reich and the NSDAP in Palestine described the Arabs' hope for a great Arab state: "Arabs in Palestine were waiting for Hitler to come to Palestine and expel all the Jews. They hoped for a German intervention to solve their conflict with consideration of their needs. Rommel was their legendary hero. Many Arabs truly believed in the Germans' victory.

* An Egyptian, who visited the country in the days after the conquest of Berlin wrote: "The people cry in the morning and sob in the evening. And blow to their cheek between morning and evening."[https://books.google.com/books?id=08A7eSrDR5EC&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%D7%A6%D7%9C%D7%91%D7%99+%D7%A7%D7%A8%D7%A1]

Twice in the last few years we have witnessed joint operations of these two sides, and although they ended in failure, they have greatly helped to increase understanding and friendship between them. First, the Arabs extended a helping hand to the Nazis. This was during the war, when for some time it seemed that Germany's hand was on the top. There is hardly a single Arab leader today who in those days was not an ally of Nazi Germany. The Nazi-Arab partnership flourished at a time when the war was close to the gates of our country, and names such as Rashid Ali, Amin al-Husseini, etc. still symbolize the "glorious" period of this idyll. The ending, as recalled, was not so glorious. The Nazis were defeated, and the Arab leaders who casted their lot with Berlin were scattered everywhere: some to Moscow, some to Paris, some to Riyadh. Their process of denazification was very short. They changed the horse and everything was ready to forget the past. One by one, Kawkaji, Rashid Ali and the Mufti returned to the Middle East. And no one prevented them from returning to their previous positions. It was not long before the partnership was renewed. This time the Arabs were in distress, and the Nazis felt their help. They came from the captivity camps, from the "DPs" centers, from the conquered German cities — from everywhere from which it was possible to reach the Middle East. Have we already forgotten those days, when German and Yugoslav Nazis would cooperate with the Arab gangs and serve as advisers, experts and guides?
