{{quotebox-float|But the Arab record vis-a-vis the Nazis was not merely one of passivity.

(Chapter: Sympathy for the Third Reich in the Near and Middle East).
<blockquote><small>
The cult of personality and, in particular, the hatred of Jews, which gave the Third Reich popularity in parts of the Arab world and beyond, the Islamic world, were precisely the most repellent characteristics that made the "new Germany" a model there, setting standards and radiating into the future. Or, to put it another way:
Not despite, but because of their virulent antisemitism, Hitler and the Germans gained sympathy among the Muslims of the Near and Middle East. It is therefore thoroughly misguided to speak of an "ideological and strategic incompatibility" between Arab nationalism and National Socialism.
Moreover, Muslims from all countries of the greater region, and not least from Palestine, persistently sought an alliance with Nazi Germany, even though playing the Arab card was avoided there for a long time.
In any case, a vast, indigenous fertile ground for the National Socialists was already evident in the Near and Middle East even before the outbreak of war.
The assertion that “the political, social, and not least military resistance potential of Palestinian society [... 1939] had been destroyed for years to come,” that “the Arabs were largely disarmed and the Zionists better equipped than ever,” and that the country was even “pacified at the outbreak of war [...],” is therefore considerably far removed from reality.
Apart from the fact that no systematic disarmament of the rebels took place, an unparalleled ideological inflame could be observed there, and an eliminatory antisemitism had taken root in the Muslim part of Palestine that was in no way inferior to German Jew-hatred and, in its practical implementation, even anticipated it to the extent that the available resources allowed. Not least because of the German arms deliveries, which will be discussed later, the uprising flared up again in the autumn of 1939.
In the summer of the following year, the German News Bureau reported: “According to reliable estimates, 20% of Jewish orange groves were completely destroyed and 40% of all irrigation systems. The resulting loss for new harvests is estimated at 33%. Agitation in Arab circles against Jewish immigration is constantly growing.” According to an estimate by the Jewish Agency’s intelligence service, around 60 percent of the country’s non-Jews supported the National Socialists at that time. Moreover, many of the former activists returned from exile at that time.</small></blockquote></ref>:

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.
