Palestine Reliving Old Story of War.

During World War II,
most Arabs played ball with Hitler. The Grand Mufti had himself a grand old time in Berlin. The Jews co-operated wholeheartedly in the war against the Axis.

In Baghdad, Rashid All's revolution was taking place; in Syria, the Vichy French were gaining ground; and in Jordan, dozens of soldiers and officers deserted daily from the British-supported Arab Legion. Nevertheless, no Jewish formations were established; instead, a
"Palestine Regiment" was founded, consisting of 33,000 Jewish and 9,000 Arab volunteers, the majority of whom soon deserted. This regiment was deployed for auxiliary services on all fronts, but the Jews did not relent in their demand for the establishment of Jewish front-line formations. It wasn't until 1944 that Churchill succeeded in breaking the bitter resistance of the British authorities in Jerusalem and Cairo to the plan. A Jewish Brigade was formed, mostly from Haganah units, which fought in various theaters of war, while units of Jewish paratroopers fought mainly in Hungary, Yugoslavia and Slovakia. (Half of them, including some girls, were captured and killed by the Germans.)
In Palestine, Haganah members were formed into a kind of gendarmerie to protect Jewish Settlements were also trained for guerrilla warfare in the event of a retreat of the English troops - while other groups under the command of the later General Wingate of of Burma were assembled into the soon-to-be-famous "Night Commandos." These later developed into the Palmach, the elite unit of the Haganah and later of the regular army...

My expenence was still too vivid in my mind, and I could not ignore what was going on or what might happen in our immediate future.
To me the danger the Germans presented was real. It seemed clear enough, and not much imagination was needed to guess what would transpire if the Germans overran Egypt and reached Palestine.
The Arabs of Egypt and
most Arabs in Palestine waited to receive the Germans with open arms. Haj Amin el Husseini, the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem , was in Berlin and was a good friend of Hitler. He organized the Mosiems of Bosnia to fight on the German side and his anti-Western propagandizing was well known. Arabs would have worked hand in hand with Hitler's death squads to kill Jews just as the Croats, the Ukrainians, people of the Baltic states, and others did, some even surpassing their masters' cruelties.
For me the time had come to join the British army. Never again , I promised myself, were the Nazis going to get me without a rifle in my hand. I would not go into hell as sheepishly as before. I did not feel like a hero, and I felt both happiness and fear. Only recently I had turned 19, and it seemed exciting to become a British soldier. On the other hand, there was that fear of war's consequences. Perhaps it was not so much the dying I was afraid of, but the possibility of becoming an invalid. I remembered men I had seen in Vienna who had lost both legs in World War I. They sat on little wooden platforms with small ball ...

...Ben-Gurion with a deep anxiety, which remained with him throughout his life. In December 1936, at a meeting with his close friends in Jerusalem, he said: "The danger we face is not rioting, but extermination. The attackers will not be only the Arabs of Palestine, but also the Iraqis and Saudi Arabians, and they have warplanes and artillery. We have to prepare seriously to constitute a substantial force in this country, capable of standing up to a massive offensive." His friends looked at him as if he had lost his mind. Others attributed his prophesy of doom to a transient mood. But Ben-Gurion meant what he said, and indeed, his forecast was fulfilled almost entirely twelve years later, immediately after he declared the independence of the State of Israel. And this fear of extermination lasted even after the victory in the War of Independence and led Ben-Gurion to his decision to develop the Israeli nudear option.
AT THE BEGINNING of World War II, the Zionist leadership had no doubt that the British government headed by Winston Churchill, Zionism's greatest friend in Britain, would give the Jews their national home in Palestine. The Jews were allies. There were thousands of Jews in the British forces. The
Palestinian Arabs supported Hitler, and the Mufti of Jerusalem, al-Husayni, had been received as an ally in Nazi Berlin.
In 1943, a committee of British cabinet ministers recommended the partition of Palestine between the Jews and the Arabs. Churchill called their report "a very nice piece of work." Zionist leaders were quite confident that immediately after the war, Churchill would force his opinions on the cabinet and Parliament, and the way to Jewish independence would be clear.

The Twenty-three of the Boat. Spring 1941, Nazi forces built up in the West African desert. A Vichy French regime was established in Syria and Lebanon.
Most Arabs leaned to Hitler and Mussolini. A German takeover of the Middle East meant Jewish annihilation, and the end of any hope of a revival of the nation. The British needed troops for special operations. Twenty-three commandos were sent to demolish oil refineries at Tripoli, Lebanon, a vital source offuelfor Vichy and the Luftwaffe there. On May 18, 1941, the boat Sea Lion, under the command of Zvi Spector, went to sea. The boat never arrived. The crew vanished without a trace. Their fate remains unknown.

British foreign policy regarding Jewish immigration to Palestine was focused on appeasing the Arabs and safeguarding their strategic interests. As Rommel and his Panzer units approached Egypt and then perhaps Palestine, the Yishuv reacted. Tens of thousands of Jews volunteered to fight with the British to defend British Palestine. In contrast scant numbers of Arabs volunteered, most of who soon deserted after receiving monetary allowances.
Palestinian Arab contributions to the British war effort were the bare minimum. Indeed, Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, spent most of the war years in Hitler's company in Berlin.
Most Arabs in the area strongly supported the German cause, including such future luminaries as Anwar Sadat. As far as strategic concerns, most British officials, excepting a few like Churchill, could never grasp the fact that the Jews could form a state and defend themselves. A more forward looking British administration might have realised that the future Jewish state that they could not conceive of would eventually be a strategic asset to defend British and Western interests.

Countering Challenges To Israel's Legitimacy.
By A. M. Dershowitz. Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs. Sep. 2011.
— in 1947 the United Nations attempted to solve the problem once and for all by proposing a final partition of Palestine. The Palestinians were offered nearly the same deal they had rejected in 1937 (with the exception of the barren Negev). This was despite
the fact of Palestinian and widespread Arab support for the Nazis and despite Winston Churchill’s warning that Nazi support meant the Arabs were “owed…nothing in a postwar settlement.”

Like
all Palestinians and most Arabs, Haj Amin al-Hussaini not only looked forward to an Axis Pact victory in World War II but also saw it as a means of defeating what he believed was a joint British-Jewish conspiracy to foist an Israelite homeland on the Middle East that would be to the detriment of his own people.

The
Arab masses and leadership gleefully welcomed the Nazis taking power in 1933 and messages of support came from all over the Arab world, especially from the Palestinian Arab leader, Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, who was the first non-European to request admission to the Nazi party.
