Abu Durra in 1936

Letter to Adolf Hitler

On December 23, 1938, Durra appealed to Nazi Germany for assistance, addressing a letter to "Adolf Hitler, the great Führer of Germany, who has brought his nation eternal honor and glory." Durra wrote:

Great German Führer, I do not wish to introduce the Jews to you. You know them and their history, and you knew them before we were acquainted with them. [...] Receive the greetings of one who sees his example in Muhammad the leader, and his precepts in the teachings and commands of the holy[sic] Koran. The servant of the fatherland and religion, the jihadist Joseph Said Abu Durra.[2]

He then turned on the Jews:

...I would not like to make you, great German leader, acquainted with the Jews. You know them and their history, and knew them even before we met them.'

Abu Durra ended by expressing the following wish: 'That you, who with one word makes Europe tremble, bring our cause to all of Europe'.[3]

Executed

He was tried in the Jerusalem Criminal Court for the murder of two Arab dignitaries, one of whom was the mukhtar of the village of Rumana. Abu Dura was sentenced to death and executed by hanging in Feb 1940.

    On 22 March 1937, in a comprehensive 17 – page memorandum, Consul General Döhle considered further German policies with regard to Palestine…

    “On every level, the Palestinian Arabs show great affection for the new Germany and its leader, a support that is worth all the more as it is based on purely idealistic concepts…

    However, what is decisive for the affection that now exists towards Germany among the Arabs is the admiration which our Führer enjoys. Especially at times of unrest, there have been more opportunities to determine how deep this liking …’

    pp. 45-46:

    Seeing the Führer as having restored national unity and liberty to the German people, the Arabs came to consider him a role model. Even today, Hitler is generally admired in the Arab world. Meanwhile, the Arabs' confidence in Germany was expressed above all in their repeated requests for German aid; furthermore, they regarded Germany as their only real ally in their struggle against the establishment of a Jewish state.

    Nevertheless, for some Arabs Germany's reluctance led to doubts. At the beginning of 1938 Walter Döhle sent [1] an alarming article from a local Arab newspaper that questioned the oft-cited German—Arab friendship: 'What has Germany done to earn a reputation as a friend of the Arabs? ... The German anti-Jewish policies brought on a strong influx of German-Jewish emigrants to Palestine: this was the 'good thing' that Germany brought to the Arabs'.

    This ultimately remained a lone voice; basically, nothing about the Arabs' attitude had changed, as the following action makes cleat

    In 1938, two years after the Arabs first rose up against the British and Jews in Palestine, the self-proclaimed religious fighter Abu Durra, leader of the uprising movement in the northern district of Palestine, appealed directly to Adolf Hitler as the 'great leader of Germany, who created ever-lasting honour and glory for his nation', to inform him of the 'atrocities and cruelties' of the British military government.

    In a letter [2] to Hitler dated 23 December 1938, he added: 'This unjust government perpetrated every bar-barity and committed every cruelty. It blew up numerous villages, arrested thousands of peaceful residents and seriously abused them. It hanged men, robbed possessions, destroyed their houses and dwellings; it also tried to question their honour. Shame on this government and shame on their al-leged justice and civilization!' Then Abu Durra wrote about the Jews: 'We will tell them what you, the leader of Germany, said about the Jews during a conflict: he, who in the midst of bullets and shells, takes the cigarette from his brother does not deserve to enjoy it at a time of peace. The Jew, who was stingy towards you with cigarettes during the war, can in no way be useful to Germany. I would not like to make you, great German leader, acquainted with the Jews. You know them and their history, and knew them even before we met them.'

    Abu Durra ended by expressing the following wish: 'That you, who with one word makes Europe tremble, bring our cause to all of Europe'.

"The Mufti.. concocted a new kind of antisemitism that combined traditional Muslim antisemitism, like the anti-Jewish verses you find in the Koran, with the Nazi antisemitism that demonised Jews... His whole ideology was antisemitic and from the very beginning he targeted Jews, not Zionists."
