Antisemitic issue of the magazine Kladderadatsch - the Nazi position regarding events in Eretz Israel during the “Great Arab Revolt.” November 1937 - Issue of the antisemitic magazine “Kladderadatsch, ” dated 7 November 1937. The cover illustration presents the Nazi position regarding events in Eretz Israel under the British Mandate at that time, as well as anti-British caricatures within the issue. On the cover page appears an illustration titled “Falstaff in Palästina”. Falstaff is a famous Shakespearean character - a fat, drunken, boastful, and cowardly soldier. The use of this name was intended to mock the British army. Behind him trails a small, hunched Jewish figure depicted in a stereotypical antisemitic manner, holding a shield. The Jewish figure is presented as taking shelter under British power and requiring its protection. The illustration was published at the height of the Great Arab Revolt in Eretz Israel (1936–1939). Nazi propaganda sought here to convey the insinuation that the British were the “hirelings” of the Jews, and that the establishment of the Jewish National Home was made possible only through British “bayonets.” On the first page, under the heading “Palestinian Turmoil, ” appears a presentation of how the Jews exploit the British in order to achieve their aims in Eretz Israel. Further on appears a caricature of a robust Aryan figure throwing out a helpless figure alongside the caption: “Yes, little man, today the strong arm rules!” Also included in the issue are caricatures mocking the British in territories under British imperial control - in Eretz Israel, Arabs are thrown off a cliff while the Jews are protected; in Morocco, citizens are persecuted; in the Congo, the natives are enslaved; alongside the satirical statement: “Commitment to these humanitarian methods is a prerequisite for receiving a mandate, ” and more.
