אין להאמין לתעמולת ה"ציר"
בקשר עם תעמולת הציר ושידוריו לעולם הערבי כותב ה' יאלצ'ין ב"יאני סבאח" הטורקי: כלום יגלו גרמניה ואיטליה את כוונותיהן האמתיות לעולם הערבי? הרי אם יעשו כן, יצטרפו מיד כל הערבים בעולם לבריטים גגד ה"ציר". אין איש מאמין לתעמולה זו, כי ידוע שגרמניה ואיטליה חושבים את אסיה ואפריקה לנחשלים לגבי שאר חלקי העולם. אין להעלות על הדעת שהציר, שהתנפל על ארצות אירופה לא יפגע בעצמאותן וחופשתן של מצרים ארץ־ישראל, סוריה, עיראק ואיראן.

Don't believe the "Axis" propaganda

In connection with the Axis propaganda and its broadcasts to the Arab world, H. Yalçın writes in the Turkish "Yeni Sabah": Will Germany and Italy reveal their true intentions to the Arab world? After all, if they do so, all the Arabs in the world will immediately join the British in the "Axis" uniform. No one believes this propaganda, because it is known that Germany and Italy think Asia and Africa are backward compared to the rest of the world. It is inconceivable that the Axis, which attacked European countries, would not harm the independence and freedom of Egypt, the Land of Israel, Syria, Iraq and Iran.

ריבוי התעסוקה והגאות הכלכלית שהסתמנה עם המלחמה וכן חזרת היחסים הערביים-יהודיים למסלולם הקודם, שהיו בו, כידוע, הרבה יסודות של מגע כלכלי ואפילו מגעי ידידים פעלו להרגעת הרוחות ולהגלדת הפצעים. אמנם, מבחינה פוליטית היתה בקרב הערבים אהדה רבה למעצמות ה"ציר", שבט הזעם לבריטניה וצרפת השנואות. הקריאה למאמץ המלחמתי נגד ה"ציר" לא מצאה כל הד בציבור הערבי. אנשי ה"גייס החמישי" מצאו בו קרקע דשנה לתעמולתם. היתה הקשבה רבה ואוהדת לשידורי הראדיו של ה"ציר" וביחוד לנאומי החאג' אמין אל-חוסייני ועוזריו מקרב העסקנים הערבים הא"י שישבו בגרמניה. פה ושם הופצו כרוזים אנטי-בריטיים וביניהם כרוזים נגד הגיוס ליחידות צבא בפיקוד קצינים בריטיים.
בראשית המלחמה היו גם נסיונות חבלה מסוימים ועל פי שידורי האויב ניכר היה, כי שירות ידיעות מן הארץ לשירות הריגול והתעמולה של ה"ציר" פעלו כהלכה. לא מעטים מקרב הערבים הבינו את השקר והדמאגוגיה שבתעמולת ה"ציר", וגורל הערבים בלוב בשלטון איטליה הפאשיסטית היה בו משום שיעור לדוגמה.

The increase in employment and the economic tide that was marked by the war as well as the return of Arab-Jewish relations to their previous course, in which, as we know, there were many elements of economic contact and even friendly contacts worked to calm the spirits and heal the wounds. Although, from a political point of view there was great sympathy among the Arabs for the "Axis" powers, the whip of rage for the hated Britain and France. The call for a war effort against the "Axis" did not find any echo in the Arab public. The members of the "Fifth Column" found fertile ground in it for their propaganda. There was a lot of sympathetic listening to the radio broadcasts of the "Axis" and in particular to the speeches of Hajj Amin al-Husseini and his assistants from among the Arab businessmen living in Germany. Here and there anti-British proclamations were distributed, among them proclamations against the recruitment into military units under the command of British officers.
At the beginning of the war, there were also certain sabotage attempts, and according to the enemy's broadcasts, it was evident that the news service from the country for the espionage service and the propaganda of the "Axis" were working correctly. Quite a few among the Arabs understood the lies and demagoguery of the "Axis" propaganda, and the fate of the Arabs in Libya under the rule of Fascist Italy served as an exemplary lesson...
