Nazis and the Palestinians

This will come as no surprise to those who know of the numerous links between Islam and Nazism; the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a strong supporter of the Nazis and he even wanted to form a National Socialist Arab party, and there were several Muslim units of the German war machine.

A British Foreign Office report from 1939 reports of “news of a consignment of arms from Germany, sent via Turkey and addressed to Ibn Saud (king of Saudi Arabia), but really intended for the Palestine insurgents.” Britain’s chief military officer in Mandatory Palestine also noted reports “regarding import of German arms at intervals for some years now.”

British documents from the same period, and German records photographed by an American spy and sent to the British government, said that a number of Nazi agents were sent to Mandatory Palestine, in order to forge alliances with Palestinian leaders, and urge them to reject a partition of the land between the Jewish and Arab populations.

The reasoning behind this is that the Nazis knew that in the Palestinians they had strong support-

“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.”

As we can see today, the link between Nazis and Islamists still exists.
