Wasn't it the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who was very chummy with Hitler (obv. long before Israel existed) and lets not forget those Albanian Muslims who joined the SS during WW2. This has been going on long before Israel existed. Israel is just an excuse to kill Jews and the Europeans get to sit in their ivory towers and moralise about how bad the Jews are (again).
Yes Hajj Amin al-Husayni(Grand Mufti of Palestine beginning around 1918 appointed by the British) took refuge in Germany during the War and for that the Palestinians payed dearly after the war because Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia aligned with the Soviets to prevent the Nazis from taking over the rest of the Muslim middle east after conquering most of North Africa. So as a result the Palestinians were on the wrong side of the War and enjoyed no support post WII from any regional power due to Hajj Amin al-Husanyi's decision to go shack up with Hitler and train Bosnian Muslims in Croatia 20,000 troops. Here's a picture of him inspecting troops.

Some people that call themselves refugees even though their families left Jaffa, Tiberias areas or other Arab Villages years earlier in 1939 and that time. They fled because of the British rule on Palestine seeking better lives with autonomy in other Arab States.
this is a great source of the controversy around the Refugee issue for the Arabs because they still claim themselves as refugees who left their homes in EY but they left during a time when Britain was the controlling power not the Jews.
