The Arabs generally fought the German-allied Turks in the Great War, and were certainly not supported by the Germans.

You are mistaken. During WWII, the "Baathist" parties of Syria and Iraq were very much pro-Nazi. The Palestinians and their Grand Mufti, Hussein, actively cooperated with the Nazis and encouraged Hitler to reach the "final solution" for the Jews. Nasser and Sadat in Egypt were very much pro-Nazi as well.

That's not true, the Ba'ath Party wasn't founded until April 7, 1945, when the Soviet Red Army was in the suburbs of Berlin and the Nazis were far from a relevant presence in the Middle East. Anyway, I was actually taking exception to her remarks regarding World War I, not World War II.
