Mukkattam, Arab daily, reports today that a Palestine Arab Nazi youth organization has been formed with a three-point movement hostile to the Jews.
Reports to this effect were denied recently in the House of Commons by Sir Philip Conifer-Lister, British Colonial Secretary.
The Arab Nazi program calls for the development in Palestine of a movement similar to German Nazism; a determined fight against Zionism and the maintaining of friendly contacts with Germany.

... the Husseinis in March 1935 formed the Palestinian Arab Party, whose platform for resistance to the establishment of a Jewish National Home. It set up its own youth corps. al-Futuwwa (the name of an association of Arab knights during the Middle Ages). which resembled Germany's Hitler Youth and was officially designated the "Nazi Scouts." At Ihe founding meeting on February 11, 1936, Jamal al- Husseini, a principal aide of Hajj Amin, declared that Hitler had stalled out with only six followers and now had sixty million. The first seventy al-Futuwwa recruits took the following oath: "Life — my right: independence — my aspiration: Arabism — my principle: Palestine — my country, and there is no room in it for any but Arabs. In this I believe and Allah is my witness." The Husseini-Nazi connection... through the 1930s and early 1940s..

Indeed, as early as March 31, 1933, two months after Hitler's assumption of power, Amin Al-Husseini told the German Consul in Jerusalem that "the Muslims inside and outside Palestine welcome the new regime of Germany and hope for the extension of the fascist anti-democratic, governmental system to other countries." In the name of the Arabs, Husseini expressed a desire to join in the Nazis' anti-Jewish boycott.

In March 1935 the Husseinis also formed a party, called the Palestinian Arab Party. It was, as its president Jamal Husseini freely boasted, inspired by German Nazism. It included a 'youth troop', modelled on the Hitler Youth, for a while actually called the 'Nazi Scouts'.

Arab youths here have organized a Nazi club, it was learned today.
The club has already established headquarters and goes under the name of "The Red Moon."

Apparently the organization has strong backers, for all of its deficits are promptly met, and it seems able to draw upon unlimited financial resources.

This is viewed as another manifestation of an intensive Nazi anti-Semitic activity sponsored by the Hitler government, and which has broken out throughout Palestine and the Near East. Nazi agents have appeared in various parts of the country in an attempt to incite the Arabs against the Jews. They have been particularly successful among Arab nationalist youth.

Groups of brown-clad Arab youths are now organized in the larger cities.
Recently the Federation of Arab Youth in Palestine petitioned Hitler to help them prevent the Jews from obtaining additional land in Palestine.
