On Nov 29, 1933,<ref name=kabaha-144-5/> ''Falastin'' published the words of Najib al-Hakim, secretary of the al-Ghazi club in Haifa:
{{Cquote|'Oh young Arabs, emulate Nazism, fascism and Kamilism, and to be precise national socialism. There is no other way for the enslaved nations to achieve liberty ... power and order are the lifeblood of nations.'}}
We have made the world safe for the English, not by police, not by armies, but by arming the people themselves. The worst thing we have ever done in Palestine, worse even than our emigration distinctions, was when the Jews were being massacred and we, at the request of the Grand Mufti, almost at his orders, lined the Jews all up and disarmed them because they were Jews. That is the sort of thing which people remember. It was not under this Government, it is true, but you cannot expect that anybody in that country will look for justice or hope for better things as long as you have that spirit ruling there. I sometimes think that the feeling has now become pro-Nazi. Hitler's "Mein Kampf" goes to Palestine, and is sold freely. The whole book is a denunciation of the Jew—all lies and abuse. At the same time there is a book published in this country called "The Brown Book of the Hitler Terror." When that got out to Palestine it was banned. It is allowed in this country, but there it is legal to abuse the Jews but not legal to abuse the abusers.</blockquote>

"They also wished to provide Palestinian youth with an education similar to that of German and Italian youth, as Emil al-Ghouri wrote" <small>(June 11, 1934)</small> "in the first issue of his newspaper, al-Shabab":
{{Cquote|'Oh Arab Youth! Awaken and see what the aggressive enemies have done to you. Exploited Palestine calls upon you to save it from the teeth of enslavement and exploitation... In every town, every village and every tent, you must found national youth companies as in Italy and Germany that will operate in favour of independence and Arab unity.'}}
