Der ,,Arabischer Klub“ / Ständigen "Verteidigungskomitees für Palästina in Europa" – Hauptsitz in Berlin.

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..

A Berlin club was used as Arab headquarters. Ostensibly the club was merely a cultural society for the benefit of Arab students in Germany, but, as the Daily Telegraph revealed, the printed notepaper used by this club bears the inscription in Arabic and German: "Permanent Defence Committee for Palestine and Europe, Berlin Headquarters."

Strengthening the Arabs against the Jews: Berlin initially pursued the new course quietly so as not to alienate London, but the extent of the activities now set in motion was impressive. Students from Arab countries received German scholarships, companies hired Arab trainees, Arab party leaders were invited to Nuremberg party conferences and army leaders to Wehrmacht maneuvers. In Berlin, an "Arab Club" was established as the center of Palestine-agitation and Arabic-language radio.

A Pan-Arab State Promoted From Berlin!

Elaborate Organisation To Support Palestine Arabs.

A Journalist's Story. — LONDON, Oct. 29.

The "Daily Telegraph" Berlin correspondent gives details of what he describes as an elaborate pan-Arab organisation, with members spread throughout Europe and the Near East, which he says is assisting the Arabs in Palestine and endeavouring to obtain European support for a project for an All-Arab State embracing Palestine, Iraq and Syria.

The correspondent says that the European headquarters of the organisation are in Berlin and financial support, it is believed, is supplied by a wealthy Syrian resident of Berlin. The operations are conducted under the cover of the Arab Club, which is ostensibly a cultural society for the benefits Arab students in Germany.

The correspondent adds that under the auspices of the so-called Defence Committee for Palestine, all Arabs in Europe are mobilising with a view to collecting funds in aid of the Arab cause and to obtain support from European sources. Money supplies and arms are being sent from Europe, the Near East and Middle East to Palestine.

In 1939, the Arab Club was defended and justified by infamous Arab-Palestinian Issa Nakhleh, then correspondent for 'Falastin' in London.

COMMENTARY: The PalestiNazis, if we are to put this in a nutshell, aspire to complete what the Nazis failed to do – the destruction of the Jewish people. The time has come for us to finally take them seriously and simply believe them, that they fully intend to do what they say.…— Israel Hayom English (@IsraelHayomEng) March 3, 2024
