 ==World War II==


At the outbreak of war in 1939, Neo-Destour leaders, though still untried, were deported to France. However, they were released by the Nazis in 1942 following the German occupation of Vichy France, and, since Hitler handed them over to the fascist government in Rome. There the leaders were treated with deference, the fascists hoping to gain support for the Axis. Bourguiba steadily refused to cooperate.

The Neo-Destour Party was one of the Arab factions that the Nazi Germans hoped to win over to the Axis side . As majority of its leaders imprisoned by the French, Eitel Friedrich Moellhausen, Rahn's deputy, argued that the Arabs could be incited to action “against Jews and Anglo-Saxons” through  the release of the prisoners in Marseille, without the Germans having to provide specific assurances concerning independence.<ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=8JiqNpE-Lz4C&pg=PA181</ref>











Arab Propagandist, Ousted by Argentina, Now in Venezuela


March 8, 1977


According to the ADL official, Triki’s Nazi leanings date back to World War II when he belonged to the “Neo-Destour,” an organization in Tunisia, which operated with the consent of German authorities during the Nazi occupation. He also did propaganda work against the Allies in collaboration with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who was in charge of Nazi broadcasts to the Middle East, and with pro-Nazi Arab emigres in Germany.

June 1, 1956 Daily News from New York, New York · 45 Syria Demands: Talk On Pre-lsrael Basis By PETER WALLENBERG Syria demanded in the UN Security Council yesterday that everything the United Nations had done in the Palestine question,... the political aspects of the Palestine dispute. Shukairy tore into the British resolution that is backed by the U. S. and France and which would empower Hammarskjold to continue bis efforts toward "a peaceful settlement on a mutually acceptable basis." "The establishment of Israel, its membership in the UN and all other resolutions will have to be revoked," Shukairy said.

Nazis: Sowing divisions

Amerasia; a Review of America and the Far East - Volume 7 - 1943 - Page 84-85 - (Contributor, Philip Jacob Jaffe) Amerasia, Incorporated, 1943 THE AXIS AND THE MOSLEM WORLD Nazi propaganda also promoted race-consciousness among the members of the Arab, Iranian, and Turanian (that is, Turkish) races, occasionally adding ideas of Pan-Islamic expansion into Central Asia against Soviet Russia. In countries of mixed populations, the Nazis exploited conflicts that had been previously utilized by the older imperialisms: between Moslems and Hindus in India, between the Moslems of Syria and the Christians of neighboring Lebanon, between Arabs and Jews in Palestine. They also organized, financed and armed most of the anti-Semitic and anti-British terroristic activities in Palestine and elsewhere.

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

Parker T. Hart, "Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership," Indiana University Press, 1998, p.167 He had managed in 1962 to send on vacation ” the headstrong Saudi UN permanent representative , Ahmad Shukairi. Under King Saud, Shukairi had been accustomed to largely having his own way in representing Saudi positions before the United Nations. These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167
