Arab Students In Germany Admire Hitler
by Gaston Coblenz
BONN (HTNS) West Germany's principle Jewish paper has reported a conversation about Afolf Hitler overheard at a West German youth hostel between a number of young Germans and a pair of Syrian law students from Damascus.
The Syrian youth – two out of many Arab students enrolled at West German universities this year – were reported by the "Algemein Wochenzeitung Der Juden" of Duesseldorf to have showered Hit with lavish praise.
They called him "a truly excellent man." They said he was a leader of immense courage... They said the only reason he is currently held in disrepute is that he lost the war. If he had won, they said, the world would have idolized him.
The young German students, in a manner characteristic of many, but not all, in this country, emphatically contradicted the Syrians. They said that Hitler was a "mad man." They said his main accomplishments were to destroy Germany and to create havoc throughout Europe. They condemned Hitler so persistently and in such drastic terms that the Syrians, in the end, accused them angrily of not being "real Germans."
Germany is one of the favorite countries chosen by young Arabs to wishing to pursue their studies abroad.

Benefits of Nazism
Ironically, the legacy of Nazi Getmany is an asset to the new Germany in the Middle East.
Many Arabs admire Nazi Anti-Semitism.
"Heil Hitler" is a common Arab salutation to German businessmen in the Middle East, and they have learned to accept it as a courtesy.

The Jordanian English language daily, Jerusalem Times, published the following "Open Letter to Eichmann" on April 24, 1961:
Dear Eichmann,
1 address you in your glass cell to extend a word of sympathy in your present plight. German genius that has invented sputniks and missiles and all sorts of things has failed to inspire you to avert the disaster that has befallen you.
What a pity Eichmann that you allowed those swine to arrest you and stage their drama. But don't worry Eichmann it will in the end fall on their heads.
Listen Eichmann you are accused of dissimating (sic) six million of this breed. Whether this is correct or not it is not our object to debate this issue but what we like to say is this if you actually managed to liquidate six million of them and if the remaining six million have been instrumental in inflicting so much havoc and suffering on the Arabs and disgorging them from their homes we wonder what would have been the result if the dissimated (sic) six million would have been allowed to survive. It is likely that a similar drama would have been staged in another part of the Arab countries. So that by liquidating six millions you have minimized the extent of the calamity and conferred a real blessing on humanity. You can imagine dear Eichmann the feelings of the million or so of Arab refugees at this drama. . .
The object of this trial is simply to attract more tourists to the occupied section and to exploit it for fund raising and for skinning the rest of mankind.
But be brave Eichmann find solace in the fact that this trial will one day culminate in the liquidation of the remaining six million to avenge your bloodand the manner in which you have been kidnapped and brought to trial by the very same people who tortured and ejected a million or so from their homes.
Similarly, from the same source:
In the Lebanese paper al-Anwar of June 9, 1960, there was a caricature showing Ben-Gurion and Eichmann shouting at each other. The text below the drawing is as follows:
Ben-Gurion: "You deserve the death penalty for killing six million Jews."
Eichmann: "There are many who argue that I deserve the death penalty for not finishing the job."
