As I mentioned earlier, about 50 years ago, I spent 10 - 11 months in the Islamic Middle East and made no secret of the fact that I was an American Christian (who rarely goes to church).
I was never spat on as is the Orthodox Jewish habit toward Christians or treated with hostility.
If anything, I was treated as a celebrity because most of the Muslims I met had never seen a Westerner and it's also a Muslim custom to be generous to travelers.
While walking and hitch-hiking through Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon etc, I was frequently "kidnapped" and taken to obscure villages where my host would insist on feeding me, introducing me to his friends and family, producing a place for me to sleep and showing me any nearby ancient ruins.
The only time I felt any hostility was when a Syrian Army officer refused to share a room with me because it would jeopardize his career. Usually I slept in parks, near mosques, at or around the ruins of places like Babylon, Nineveh, Sumer, and archeological sites of numerous different eras.
As far as a woking relationship with Germany's National Socialists, few were closer than the German Zionist Federation.
Germany's National Socialists along with the SS established about 40 training camps to arm and prepare Jews for life in Palestine (1). There, they learned how to farm, build, shoot and other practical skills.
There was also the Haavara Agreement between Germany's Zionists and National Socialists (aka Nazis) that allowed Jews to transfer their wealth and possessions to Palestine under favorable conditions (2)
Finally, the Zionist group, Lehi, under Averham Stern even offered to fight with Germany against the British so there was far more cooperation between Germany's Jews and the National Socialist Party than many people realize.

Zionism and the Third Reich
EXCERPT “In cooperation with the German authorities, Zionist groups organized
a network of some forty camps and agricultural centers throughout Germany where prospective settlers were trained for their new lives in Palestine. Although the Nuremberg Laws forbid Jews from displaying the German flag, Jews were specifically guaranteed the right to display the blue and white Jewish national banner. The flag that would one day be adopted by Israel was flown at the Zionist camps and centers in Hitler's Germany. /19
Himmler's security service cooperated with the Haganah, the Zionist underground military organization in Palestine. The SS agency paid Haganah official Feivel Polkes for information about the situation in Palestine and for help in directing Jewish emigration to that country. Meanwhile, the Haganah was kept well informed about German plans by a spy it managed to plant in the Berlin headquarters of the SS. /20
Haganah-SS collaboration even included secret deliveries of German weapons to Jewish settlers for use in clashes with Palestinian Arabs. /21
In the aftermath of the November 1938 "Kristallnacht" outburst of violence and destruction, the SS quickly helped the Zionist organization to get back on its feet and continue its work in Germany, although now under more restricted supervision. /22” CONTINUED

Hitler's early anti-Jewish measures provoked worldwide efforts at a boycott of German goods, a measure that would have injured a still precarious economy. Jews orchestrated these efforts at a boycott, but hesitated over whether it would inflame or moderate German anti-Semitism. Meanwhile Zionist...
