By ignoring the obviously ‘Semitic roots of Arab religion and civilization, Himmler was on solid border scientific ground. After all, he began this section with the ariosophic speculations of Dingfelder and Schronghamer-Heimdal, of List, Fritsch, and Dinter -- even of Hitler himself -- all of whom insisted that Jesus was in fact an Aryan, part of a proto-Aryan Cannanite or Armanic people who preceded the Jews.

In ‘German Orientalism in the Age of Empire,’ the historian Suzanne Merchand suggests that German intellectuals were more sensitive to Asian and Middle Eastern cultures than their British and French counterparts. . . . . Page 193

After 1939, . . . research informed appeals by Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels to seek the Arab alliance against ‘Anglo-Bolshevik Imperialism,’ ‘Americans materialism,’ asnd Jewish hegemony in Palestine. Hitler proposed a Berlin-based council of Arabs, while Goebbels and German Foreign office courted Arab celebrities such as Iraq’s Rashid al-Khilani en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid_Ali_al-Gaylani and Palestine’s Grand Mufti. In fact, the Third Reich made thousands of Arabic broadcasts between 1940 and 1944, aimed at Egypt, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, India, Iran Sudan and Ceylon ~ Page 209

In one respect, Mr. Ben-Gurion's expectations for the trial were not altogether disappointed; it did indeed become an important instrument for ferreting out other Nazis and criminals, but not in the Arab countries, which had openly offered refuge to hundreds of them. The Grand Mufti's connections with the Nazis during the war were no secret; he had hoped they would help him in the implementation of some "final solution" in the Near East. Hence, newspapers in Damascus and Beirut, in Cairo and Jordan, did not hide their sympathy for Eichmann or their regret that he "had not finished the job"; a broadcast from Cairo on the day the trial opened even injected a slightly anti-German note into its comments, complaining that there was not "a single incident in which one German plane flew over one Jewish settlement and dropped one bomb on it throughout the last world war." That Arab nationalists have been in sympathy with Nazism is notorious, their reasons are obvious, and neither Ben-Gurion nor this trial was needed "to ferret them out"; they never were in hiding. The trial revealed only that all rumors about Eichmann's connection with Haj Amin el Husseini, the former Mufti of Jerusalem, were unfounded. (He had been introduced to the Mufti during an official reception, along with all other departmental heads.) The Mufti had been in close contact with the German Foreign Office and with Himmler, but this was nothing new. ~ Page 13 (PDF 11)
