How did Germans react to Jewish victory over Arabs in 1948 and Israel establishment ?

First of all, I am not sure if this is the right section or even forum. So I apologize if this question doesn't belong here and maybe a mod can move/delete it.

So my question is how did Germans in 1948 (the average German, the commited NS, the press, the top industrialists . ..) react when they learnt:
•That Jews, without foreign help, had won in 1948 a war against Arabs (who were much more numerous ).
•That a Jewish state was going to be established in the Levant.

In 1948, most Germans still held strong anti-Jewish opinions and were very nazified.
The Jewish victory surprised many people. Plus according to NS propaganda and antisemites, Jews were a (physical ) weak nation and unable to be good soldiers and during WWII, Germans had tried to ally with Arabs against the Jews (and the Brits and the French ).
