Pierre Van Paassen, "A Marginal Note," The Sentinel, 15 June 1933:
...Naziism is spreading . Under its own name and under other names it is invading countries...bordering on Germany. Action Francaise, the extremist nationalist movement... And how about Jerusalem... where Hitlerism is openly admitted in the nationalist Arab press... I was in Brentanos bookstore the other day in Paris. While waiting for the Order Department I saw ten copies of the French translation of Hitlers Mein Kampf being wrapped up with five copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and when I casually glanced at the address which was stuck on the package I felt a shudder pass through me for the name on the label was: Jamal Husseini, Jerusalem. They are going to quote Hitler against the Jews in Eretz Israel!
This Hitlerist Arab who, with the Palestine Mufti al-Husseini had founded the Hitler-Youth modeled Futuwwa (1936) *] and had worked for Hitler, is provably the first to make the vile comparison (in 1946) when he slandered Ben Gurion that when he spoke, he reminds him of A.H. [*]. It was around the time, Jamal and Ahmad Shukeiri [Shuqayri / Shukairy], both had justified the Holocaust [*].

Paper Breaks Taboo on Shamir, Nazi Link : Jerusalem Post Cites Stern Gang Past, Hits Stance on Peace Now
The Stern Gang was an underground group of which Shamir was a leader. It tried to make an alliance with Nazi Germany in 1941 to oppose British rule in Palestine in exchange for the release of Jews from Nazi hands.

Jamal al-Husseini, brother-in-law of Musa Alami, was the Mufti’s cousin, and was also one of the more radical supporters of the Mufti’s violent tactics, Like the Mufti, he too saw Nazi Germany as a natural ally in the struggle against the Jews and did not conceal his admiration for Hitler.

On March 31, 1933, the Mufti visited the German consul general, Heinrich Wolff, in Jerusalem and assured him that the Muslims “welcome the new German regime and anticipate the spread of fascist anti-democratic state leadership to other countries.” A German boycott, to target the wealth of the Jews, would find “enthusiastic support throughout the entire Mohammedan world.”
Just three months later, he was able to report on the “intended establishment of an Arab National Socialist party.” The swastika was frequently seen on leaflets and walls during the October 1933 Arab strike protesting Jewish immigration. “Efforts to organize Nazi Associations have been revived,” reported the British police in the summer of 1934, and in the fall they saw constant Nazi propaganda in the Arab press.
In Palestinian literature, Jews were portrayed as money-hungry, devious, and unscrupulous, and as cowards, “new Shylocks,” and “sons of clinking gold.
There were lyrics such as these: “Step on the Jews’ heads / to free Buraq and Haram. / You young men, close ranks; / attack them by the thousands. / O God [Allah], how beautiful death is / in the freeing of Haram and Buraq...
The “[Allah]-fearing freedom fighter” Hanaf Hassan wrote to the German consul in Haifa, the “representative of Hitler the Great”: “God protect him and all Germany. [...] No Arab will forget the friendship of the Germans throughout the world for the help they granted in aid of the Arabs in Palestine. The land of Palestine does not belong to us Arabs alone, but also to the Germans, and I hope, Mr. Consul, that you will help us free the Holy Land from the Jews, and I hope that we are all brothers, God willing.” [...].
The Third Reich also enjoyed strong support among the students at a private secondary school in Bir Zeit, near Ramallah. When an English teacher gave her students a novel by Benjamin Disraeli to read, the class rebelled. “But he’s a Jew,” the students protested. The teacher then tried to steer the discussion to the question of what makes a man important. Most of the students named Adolf Hitler first.
According to the German consul in Jaffa, Timotheus Wurst, in late March 1936 the Muslim Palestinians were “deeply impressed by fascist, particularly National Socialist, teachings and views. National Socialism, with its anti-Jewish notions, has struck a chord among the Arabs of Palestine... Among the Arabs, fascism and National Socialism have in many cases become the standards against which all other political systems and teachings are measured, and, in the eyes of many Arabs, Adolf Hitler is without a doubt simply the most important man of the 20th century. Our Führer’s popularity is so great that there can hardly be a single Arab, even the lowliest peasant, who doesn’t know the name of Hitler.”
Like the Boy Scouts, the Istiqlal Party in particular has “embraced the National Socialist theses to the greatest extent. The Istiqlal Party organ, The Defense, has a markedly National Socialist orientation.” One year later, the Völkischer Beobachter printed an interview with the party’s president, Auni Abd el-Hadi. In the interview, he admitted proudly that while he was interned by the British he had thoroughly worked through the English translation of Mein Kampf.
It should not be surprising that the Arab revolt did not change such attitudes after 1936, but rather strengthened them. The rebels often displayed the swastika as a challenge to the Jews and the British, and on Muhammad’s birthday on June 4, 1937, in Palestine as well as in many other parts of the Arab world, German and Italian flags and pictures of Hitler and Mussolini were on view. “A critical factor in the Arabs’ current sympathy toward Germany is the admiration that our Führer enjoys,” reported Doehle, Wolff’s successor as consul general in Jerusalem, that same year. “The periods of unrest often gave me the opportunity to discover just how widespread this sympathy is. When confronted with threatening behavior by an Arab crowd, an individual who identified himself as a German would generally be allowed to pass unhindered. But if a person identified himself using the German greeting ‘Heil Hitler,’ the Arabs usually became enthusiastic, cheering the individual and fervently returning the German greeting. The enthusiasm for our Führer and the new Germany is likely so widespread because the Palestinian Arabs, in their struggle for existence, long for an Arab Führer, and because they feel that they are on the same side as Germany in the battle agsinst the Jews.”
Zion Arabs' Terrorists Extremes Alienate Kin in Adjacent Lands
By Joseph M. Levy (Wireless to The New York Times and The Gazette) Jerusalem Sep 14...
Reliable information just received by the writer from Syria, which is now the headquarters of the Palestine Arab rebellion, reveals that German and Italian money is subsidizing the Arab terrorism in Palestine.
It now transpircs that the amount of money received by the Palestine committee in Damascus for the support of the tcrrorislic activities in the Holy Land would not cover one month's expenses, considering tho large scale of Arab terroris. All this is further proof that money from Germany and Italy is financing the Arab rebellion here. A circular letter signed by one rebel chief, Arif Abdul Razik, which is addressed lo British forces in Palestine and written in English with the intention of creating a mutiny among British troops, is another proof that there is the German hand behind all this terrorism.
The letter has all the earmarks of Nazi influence. It is couched in familiar anti-Jewish Nazi propaganda, with striking similarity to phrases constanlly feen in Der Stuermer:
"It would be tragic for the British nation to lose its tradional friendship with the Arabs for the sake of the aggressive[sic] race[sic] of parasitic (sic. Nazi-Arab: Arif Abdul Razik:) Jews [sic].. inhuman[sic] creature... disase," reads one paragraph of this appeal.
This circular letter, coupled with Hitler's Nuremberg reference to "defenceless Arabs in Palestine" has convinced British circles here of Germany's intention to keep up the Arab terrorism in Palestine and weaken Britain In Europe by forcing her to send troops here, thus reducing the number of British forces in Europe. One regiment, the Eighteenth Brigade arrived in Palestine from England today, and three more regiments are following shortly, which will bring the total number of British troops here to about 10,000.
By Joseph M. Levy, wireless To the New York Times. Sept. 15, 1938. While terrorism continues unabated here and greatly increased in the south of Palestine, interest in the Palestine Arabs on the part of Iraq, Egypt and Syria is rapidly diminishing...

The search for Libyan saboteurs and indirect military assistance
In his initial meeting with th Italians, on Sept 9 1936, Musa Alami asked for not only money and arms but also for assistance in the form of technical advisors.
These would help to carry out more efficient attacks on the pipeline from Iraq to Haifa and would arrange for the water supply of Tel Aviv to be “contaminated”.
On 26 September, Ciano told Alami that Italy would be willing to provide the necessary ‘material’.
The request for men would have to wait for a later date once the possibility of instructing Libyan non commissioned officers to carry out these tasks had been examined. Mussolini personally approved this response.

The rebellion of Rashid Ali failed. - Abdul Razek escapes from Turkey and Bulgaria and receives a great welcome in Berlin
By Haviv Kanaan.
Rauf sinks into memories...... We, Palestine-Arabs, received an order from Dr. Grobba to leave in cars in the direction of the Turkish border.(1941)
— von Papen intervenes —
My interlocutor seemed excited. Sweat began to cover his forehead: — We traveled in battle uniforms and armed with light weapons. But here we find out that the Turkish border guard does not allow us to pass. And these days are the last days of the rebellion and the English could appear at any moment after us and capture us. For about two days we begged the Turks to let us in. It seems that von Papen also put pressure on the Turkish authorities in Ankara. Finally they agreed to give us permission to enter, but we had to abandon the weapons, the cars and the military insignia.
- He stops for a moment and it seems that he is not very pleased with the memories: -
The Turks kept us in a remote village for two months. We were indeed free to walk around the village, but the police had a watchful eye on us. Twice we were visited by German Axis Powers' representatives who gave us reassuring promises. Finally we were informed that we were allowed to leave Turkey and move to Bulgaria. It was a big moment. Our joy knew no bounds. — Abdul Razak marries a Bulgarian woman —
We came to Sofia. At the train station we were received with great respect. German and Bulgarian officers bowed cordially. In the representative hotel of the Bulgarian capital, which bears the name of Tsar Boris's sister, luxurious apartments were prepared for us. The Germans dressed us and gave us a lot of money. The Bulgarian company welcomed us with joy. That's how I got to know the wealthy Todorovich family, which owns immovable property in the city and agricultural farms in its vicinity. I fell in love with the younger daughter and asked for her hand.
— — What kind of wedding did you have? — Rauf smiles: — the ceremony was full of impressions. There were dozens of people from all over the crowd. It was held in a church... — — How? You are a Muslim? — — 'Maaleish'. They brought in a pop with a long beard, the organ played, the choir sang and it didn't bother me at all. — How did you continue in Sofia? — what does it mean? We lived the life of exiles. We had a very good time. Only my poor brother his illness got the better of him and his suffering increased. After a happy year in Susia, we decided to go to Berlin and ask the advice of the German doctors. The reception in Berlin They also gave us a great premature reception in Berlin. Rashid Ali led the life of the Arab diaspora here. He was very conflicted with the mufti who suddenly tried to approach us. We were invited to visit all the important institutions of the Reich. We were in the Reichstag during the Fuhrer's speech. We were accepted for an interview by Himmler, head of the SS... although we knew that the situation of the Jews in the German occupation area was very bad... we were also accepted by the Minister of Propaganda Dr. Joseph Goebbels. He made a great [sic] impression[sic] on us. He suggested that we send young Arabs to serve in the S. S. In those days, the air attacks on the German capital increased and all the foreign exiles were moved to a calm place around Berlin. We decided to return to Bulgaria. We traveled through Italy, whose military situation was already in a bad state. When I returned to Sofia, I knew that the Reich had lost the battle.

Lebl, Z. (1996) "Hajj Amin and Berlin", chapter "Sending paratroopers behind Allied lines", p. 98."In secret ways, Nazi propaganda material was also smuggled into Palestine, composed by Haj Amin." Throughout the country his supporters "received his words with enthusiasm, "and the phenomenon of the years of the rebellion returned: in the Arab circles they were already debating the distribution of Jewish property after the victory; and in Jerusalem and Jaffa, in Tiberias and Safed, the fate of the young Jewish women has already been determined: for each one, her future Arab rapist has been determined."(1944).
In Berlin wurde ein 'arabischer Club' als Zentrum der Palästina-Agitation und des arabischsprachigen Rundfunks etabliert. Eichmann, Baldur von Schirach, Abwehrchef Wilhelm Canaris und der Leiter des Orientreferats im Auswärtigen Amt, Werner Otto Hentig, erkundeten die Möglichkeiten, die Araber auf ihre Seite zu bekommen. Dabei bildete der Mufti die zentrale person. Während der deutsche Nationalsozialismus sich formte und an Einfluss gewann, entstand in arabischen Ländern die politische Ideologie des Islamismus. „Die Muslimbruderschaft wurde im Jahr 1928 von Hassan al-Banna in Ägypten gegründet ...Israeli, Raphael.

As was reported in the House of Commons in February 16, 1938, in Palestine, "Italian women were disguised as charity workers and nuns and they supplied Arabs with faked pictures of Jewish atrocities and told the Arabs that their poverty was due to British mis-management. Travelling cinema vans showed the Arabs faked pictures of Jews killing Arabs . . . The Italian broadcast from Bari was picked up in Palestine and interspersed in an attractive programme was a series of slogans like ‘Palestine belongs to the Arabs’, 'Kill the Jews’ ‘Let Palestine Arabs re-arm'." Similar activity, it was stated, took place in Syria... While synagogues have been burned in Germany a mosque has been built in the heart of Berlin, where Moslems may perform their devotions. That is a small item in the Nazi programme to capture the sympathies of the Arabs. Goebbel's Propaganda Ministry professes to have discovered a number of points common to the Nazi creed of the sword and the teachings of the.. Mohammed. Not only has a school been opened in Berlin , where Moslem students are given free education and board; it has been decided to "convert" 25,000 Nazis to Mohammedanism. They will be organised in a newly-formed Moslem association, Jamait-e'Muslimin, which already has an understanding with the Mufti, a leader of the Palestinian Arabs. It is intended that the 25,000 converts shall be sent to various Moslem countries as trade and political missionaries. Two centres have already been started for them in the Near East. The one in Cairo directs Nazi work in Egypt, Sudan, Palestine, and Transjordania. The other, in Bagdad, covers Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Nazi agents are chiefly persons engaged in promoting German trade, teachers, bank clerks, and travellers. The chief forms of Nazi penetration are–subsidies to and blackmail of the vernacular Press, clubs, German classes, correspondence exchanges, and dissemination of propaganda and films. Since the 1937 visit to the Near East of the Hitler Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach, Nazi propaganda has intensified. Typical of the methods now used to influence the Arabs and undermine British prestige in the Near East is the founding of a club called "el Nadi el Arrabi" (the Arab Club) which is the nucleus of an elaborate Pan-Arab organisation with members in all parts of Europe and the Near East. This organisation gives practical assistance to terrorists in Palestine. Its European head-quarters are in a third floor office on the Kurfuerstendamm in Berlin. It carries on its work: "under cover of the Arab Club, ostensibly a 'cultural society' for the benefit of Arab students in Germany. The printed notepaper used bears the inscription in Arabic and German: 'Permanent Defence Committee for Palestine in Europe–Berlin headquarters'. "Like all similar organisations in Germany, the 'Permanent Defence Committee' is obliged to possess an official Government permit for its activities." This permit has not yet been received , but M. Abdul Mottalib, an Arab citizen from Bagdad, who is secretary of the Arab Club, informed me (the Daily Telegraph Correspondent) that he had little doubt that permission would be granted without difficulty, 'as we conduct the Committee as part of our club.' "The Arabs of Berlin, M. Mottalib Added, had net with nothing but sympathy and understanding at the hands of the Berlin authorities. "Under the auspices of the 'Defence Committee' all the Arabs in Europe are being mobilised with a view to collecting funds to aid the Arab cause in Palestine and to obtain support from European sources. Money, supplies and arms are being sent from Europe and the Near and Middle East to Palestine. Cash cannot be sent from Germany owning to strict currency regulations." [Report by the Daily Telegraph on October 29, 1938]. Nazi propaganda is rife in Palestine itself . Typical are the posters (written in Arabic) with text reading: "The Jew will (sic) use every penny he earns from you to buy your soil," and the kites which are flown bearing the inscription (in Arabic) "Long Live Hitler". An Arabic edition of "Mein Kampf" appeared in 1939. It has a picture of Hitler on the cover, under the heading of "The Strongest Man in the World". Hitler has taken care to remove from this Arabic edition the passage in which he puts the Arabs on an inferior 'racial grade'. More than one Arabic newspaper has, in spite of the increased cost of newsprint, suddenly increased its number of pages and displayed German propaganda and pictures of ...
