Attacks occurred when Jews were on the same side as the Muslim masses which was almost always. <br /><br />There is no doubt that many nationalist leaders from NAfrican countries were in Egypt and were exposed to Husseini's ideas regarding the Jews. And there was also the fact that the French employed local police (the gendarmerie) who maintained the population in check (the movie "Casablanca" comes to mind). <br /><br />As to Spanish Morocco, it was an entirely different game than in the interior. Franco climbed all the echelons of the Spanish military while in Morocco and prior to becoming a dictator, so I do no doubt for a moment that he made friends and allies among the local upper crust.<br /><br />But Franco was also the one who fought the nationalist forces as a Spanish officer previously in the 1920s and he was surely remembered for that.<br /><br />Another and no small detail was the fact that the Germans were allied to the Ottomans and Morocco was strongly suspicious of the Turks, in fact it was the only country in North Africa not occupied by the Turks.<br /><br />That's for Morocco but if we examine facts and dates for the other NAfrican countries we'll find that it was not so simple.<br /><br />Oh, and another very important fact was the British-US Operation Torch in 1942 that led to the surrender of the Vichysts and established a big army base in Port-Lyautey from which they led air operations against the Germans throughout the Maghreb.<br />There is no doubt that the Allies were very welcome by the nationalists and their victory was what led them to believe they could oust the French in all those countries.Sylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-89455134644307804392013-10-11T14:14:48.136+01:002013-10-11T14:14:48.136+01:00Sylvia, in Libya, during the German occupation, Ar...Sylvia, in Libya, during the German occupation, Arabs were encouraged to make a pogrom on the local Jews and did so. The Italians when they were in charge usually protected the Jews.<br /><br />In Morocco, Franco's govt in Spain had encouraged Arab nationalists in the Spanish zone of Morocco, such as Abdel-Khalek Torres [or Turris]. Franco was quite interested in forming an alliance with Arab nationalists. And that was true up to his death circa 1975. During the Vichy period, German agents were active among Arab nationalists in Morocco and found some sympathy.<br /><br />The fact that Hitler's allies, fascist Italy and Franco Spain, controlled some territory in Arab lands did not deter sympathy for the Germans, especially since the Mufti was shilling for Hitler.<br /><br />Here is a quote from Husseini's interview with Hitler in which Hitler promised him that the Final Solution would be extended to Jews in Arab lands. Also a video of Husseini in Berlin.

It is important to keep in mind the historical background when bringing up the subject of "Arab" alliance with the Nazis. <br /><br />During WWII not all Arab countries were on the same side: Libya was occupied by Mussolini's Italy, Tunisia Algeria, Morocco were occupied by Vichy France, and naturally the populations were anti-German and welcomed the Anglo-American landing during the war. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Sylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-38790624452152271072013-10-10T07:46:36.498+01:002013-10-10T07:46:36.498+01:00Agree with you 100 percentAgree with you 100 percentbataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-5477739152791522882013-10-10T07:44:07.640+01:002013-10-10T07:44:07.640+01:00Agree with you
