Facts about the Haavara (Transfer) Agreement between Ben-Gurion and Hitler (1933 - late 41), and Zionists' response to the Holocaust

Fake Valor: Why Did Zionist Jews Hoist Nazis Flag on Their Ships in the 1930s?

The Haavara (Transfer) Agreement was a wealth transfer financial instrument that was negotiated between David Ben-Gurion and Adolf Hitler a few months after the Nazis rose to power in early 1933, and it continued non-stop (even after Nuremberg Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom) until December 1941 and was designed to:

• Relieve Nazi Germany from the crippling spontaneous worldwide boycott & rise in unemployment that hit Germany soon after Hitler became chancellor in early 1933.
• Stimulate the German economy and decrease unemployment by selling German goods in the Middle East and North Africa.
• Help Nazis implement their racist policies aimed at "cleansing" Germany of its Jewish citizens and to dispossess them from their wealth (valued at 10-12 billion Reichsmarks which was more than Mefo bills' total size as of mid-1938) as much as possible.
• In return, Zionists channeled a fraction of the liquidated German Jewish wealth to build the foundation of their "Jewish state" 15 years ahead of its time.

Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

From Zionist and Israeli sources and as well as the NY Times, we shall shortly prove how and why Zionists thought of themselves first and foremost, and "saving" Europe's Jews was way secondary. In a nutshell, Zionist leaders fomented antisemitism with the goal of creating a Jewish refugee crisis, which could act later as the lever (using David Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) that would create their "Jewish state." Soon after Nakba, a similar sinister strategy was employed to cause an Arab Jewish refugee crisis when Ben-Gurion & Co. discovered that Europe's Jews were voting with their feet and immigrating to the Americas to live with the Gentiles and not to the emptied country of Palestine.

Which hate speech was worse: Hitler's hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939, or Ben-Gurion's speech (just two months before Hitler's speech) when he incited the murder of German Jews a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

As you contemplate our research on Haavara and Zionists' response to the Holocaust, please keep in mind the following important points: A) This wealth transfer financial instrument was first engineered by the founder of the Zionist movement, Theodor Herzl, in the late 19th century. Herzl attempted to implement it first in Uganda, where he died thinking the "Jewish state" would be created. B) Before WWII, Zionists were a minority with very limited resources but were well-organized and had a BIG influence on US-based Jewish organizations. C) Zionists were considered a small and an extreme fringe in Jewish politics, which was dominated by BUND, who were assimilationist Jews, socialists, liberals, and against the nation-state concept (Albert Einstein, Judah Magnes, and Hannah Arendt were great examples). D) After WWII, Zionists dominated Jewish politics after the destruction of BUND (Abraham Burg, p. 37). E) Since Haavara was implemented in the 1930s, it should be judged as if WWII and the Holocaust didn't happen to avoid the fallacy of judging the past from the present. F) The Palestinian and Jewish tragedies will not be understood unless the Haavara Agreement is understood fully, and in conjunction with the events, that occurred in Europe, before and after WWI and WWII.

As you shall discover soon, the Jewish and Palestinian tragedies were born around the same time, and both are closely connected with an umbilical cord in a very strange way. We assure you that your WWII frame of reference will be flipped on its head shortly. You will be exposed to many taboo subjects, and the Haavara Agreement is only one of many. Therefore, grab a cup of coffee, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the ride.

Haavara Timeline

It should be noted that both Nazis and Zionists worked with no interruption to honor Haavara even after Nazis enacted Nuremberg Race Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom. Actually, Haavava lasted until late 1941 and Jewish Agency' offices in Berlin were closed in May 1941.

Click here for an image of this timeline, and here is a step by step how to guide (a kind of a Haavara Blueprint) of the Haavara Agreement showing how it was instrumental in the creation of the "Jewish state."

1. Let's Do The Math: How Many German Jews Were Actually "Saved" Due To The Haavara Agreement?

   When Zionists negotiated & implemented Haavara with Hitler for 9 years straight, were they motivated by the urgency to "save" German Jews? 
   
   • Let's assume we can judge the past from the present, and "Haavara was done to save lives,"
   • Let's use loaded words such as "save" or "rescue" to describe events before the calamity happened, and
   • Let's pretend Hitler wasn't willing to ship German Jews anywhere, even on luxury ships, until late 1941, and
   • Let's judge Zionists' nonstop wheeling & dealing with Hitler as if they foresaw the Shoah, and they made the "best out of a hostage situation," then:

   Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

   Suppose Ben-Gurion & Co. were so concerned with saving Jews' lives, how come David and his cohorts allocated UNDER 16% of the immigration quotas (a.k.a. Labor Certificate visa program) to poor German Jews (who couldn't qualify as Capitalists in possession of P£1,000), and prioritized other European Jews over them? Here is the data and the calculation methodology, all sourced from the British Mandate's primary sources. It should be noted those Labor Certificate immigration visas (the mechanism with which poor Jews gained entry) were grants given to Zionists by the occupying colonial power (England), and the Palestinian people never approved of those grants. Like all native peoples, Palestinians feared imminent danger from a settler colonial movement that could end up replacing and dispossessing them. 

   In May 1939, MS St. Louis in Havana was refused to unload its Jewish passengers in Cuba & US, and it was forced to go back to Antwerp. Jewish Agency refused to give any of its passengers immigration visas to Palestine. Over 250 of the passengers perished during the Holocaust.

   We were shocked to discover that during the critical three years between 1933 and 1935 (when the bulk of Jewish immigration happened), two-thirds of the poor German Jews who requested immigration permits were rejected by the Jewish Agency (Abraham Margaliot, p. 559, 660 and 561-562). On top of that, Aviva Halamish (an Israeli Holocaust historian) found that A) the British Mandate made it four times easier for German Jews to immigrate, B) it was the British Mandate that demanded that 10% of all Labor Certificate visas must be allotted to German Jews (see Jewish Agency's 1933 Memorandum for the League of Nations, p.  5) and this British demand was instituted before Haavara was in the picture. Notice that the British demanded such rule because they knew well Zionists would favor other Jews who were much dedicated to Zionism (a.k.a. halutizim) than German Jewry.
   
   Therefore, more than 9,000 German Jews (out of the total figure of 16,000 who were saved due to Labor Certificates) were saved due to British affirmative action, who would've been saved with or without Haavara, and that would drop the "saving rate" from 16% to 8%.  Thus, saving 6,000 German Jews by Zionists over seven years is a mediocre number, especially when we factor in that Romanian Jews were granted more Labor Certificates during the same period, although they weren't living in danger. The same logic applies to Greece's small Jewish community, who received a comparable Labor Certificate as the German Jewry!
   

   JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away
   Despite that the British made it four time easiler for poor German Jews to immigrate, Zionist leaders were keen to tighten the selection criteria for those poor German Jews (who weren't wealthy enough to qualify as Capitalists) compared with Eastern European Jews (read about Dr. Weizmann's cruel selection criteria that were responsible for this reduction). We wonder: Why did Zionist leaders reduce the immigration chances of German Jews by two-thirds when they knew in advance that the knives were heading their way? Is it possible that Ben-Gurion and Co. did this to reward those Jews who were more loyal to the Zionist movement (a.k.a. halutzim) and Ben-Gurion's Mapai party? (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants by Aviva Halamish, p. 126, 129, 146)

   What was tragically comical was that those German Jews, who were allegedly "saved", would've been saved anyhow with or without Haavara. please don't take our word for it, see for yourself how Yad Vashem's most senior historian, Yehuda Baur, articulated our point in Jews For Sale?, p. 17. The wealthy Jews (who had P£1,000 or more) easily could have immigrated to Palestine (or other countries) based on their cash (via the Capitalist Certificates visa program), and the poor ones easily could have gained entry since the British made it much easier for German Jews to gain Labor Certificates visas (GB provided an affirmative action favoring Germany's Jews over others).
   
   
   David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details
   Here is another fun fact: we've found that 246,000 German Jews (who were primarily penniless by then) left Germany within Haavara's seven years of life (59% of them left in under 10 months in 1939). Once we excluded those who went to Palestine, that was over 14 times what Zionists have allotted to head of households Labor Certificate visas to German Jews (see Jews For Sale? by Yehuda Baur, p. 17, 35). Based on the earlier facts and logical arguments, we are forced to ask: If Zionist leaders were "keen" on saving German Jews, why did they provide poor German Jews with a few Labor Certificates over eight years? Did Zionist leaders have cynical motives for providing as few Labor Certificates as possible? Here is another fun fact: close to 80% of German and Austrian Jewry were saved, and Haavara played ZERO role in saving, here is our math all sourced from Yad Vashem.
   Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

   How when Zionist leaders adopted such a policy (based on collaboration or appeasement with Nazis instead of confrontation), it wasn't much worse since it entailed a prior knowledge of a genocide to come, and they (meaning Zionists) chose to enable and appease the devil anyhow? This gaslight of an argument is comical when it's known that Zionists did very little beforehand to soothe the calamity! Much to our surprise, Nahum Goldmann (one of the founding fathers of the "Jewish state") reached the same conclusion, but sadly he documented his remorse and regrets couple of decades way after the fact. Irrespective of isolated boycott campaigns, love it or hate it: the majority of Jews (especially Zionists) adopted a policy of appeasement instead of confronting European antisemites! Based on our research, Trotskyist Jews were the only ones who had clear anti-fascist policies from day one. Love it or hate it; that is the honest truth which continues to be true to this date.

   When the German currency was on its knees in the summer of 1933 (before Haavara was signed), and the Nazi economy was teetering, you would think Zionist leaders helped tighten the noose around Nazis' knecks? On the contrary, Zionist leaders quickly convened an emergency meeting to see how they could stabilize the Reichsmark and to avert a disaster for the Nazis and themselves (The Transfer Agreement, p. 253).

   Do you think Zionist leaders were kind enough to GRANT even one immigration certificate to any of those DAMNED passengers on MS St. Louis Ship in June 1939? Then you are onto a big surprise!

   How did Zionist leaders respond when British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

   If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, would you think they allocated any monies (from their budget) to fund rescuing Jews during WWII? Not only were ZERO pennies allocated from the Jewish Agency's budget, but they even refused to allocate any funds from Zionist enterprises (who mainly were funded by revenues generated via the Haavara Agreement for a decade) at the height of the calamity! You won't believe it until you read Wikipedia, quoting the head of the so-called United Rescue Committee (here is a saved image just in case it will be taken down; guess who hand-picked the gang of four and kept them there during WWII, although they did the opposite of rescue?). Pay attention to what Wikipedia wrote about his Kapo son, much of whom used to be Zionist activists (Dan Porat - p. 48). It should be noted that much of JNF's funds came directly from Haavara (actually, JNF was almost bankrupt not for Haavara due to the Great Depression), and nothing, as far as we know, was allocated from its budget to rescue Jews. Rescue funds (if any were ever used to save Jews) came from other sources (i.e., either from JDC, who represented wealthy Jews, or direct donations from Jews worldwide) and not from Zionists' enterprises, which were enriched tremendously because of the British war efforts in Palestine (profits tripled as of 1944).

   To add salt to injury, we've found that 3/4 of the rescue fund was diverted away from actually rescuing Jews for the sake of building the state. Once you read how much Zionist leaders allocated (from what was collected, not from Zionists' resources & enterprises) to rescue Europe's Jews at the height of the calamity, well, you might lose your religion. You've been warned; here are the boring details from a primary source. A hint: What was spent is only half of what was allocated; what happened to the other half? From what was allocated, how much was spent on rescuing Jews to countries other than Palestine? Big fat zero!
   
   To add more salt to injury, a few years later, in early 1948 the Jewish Agency made a $4 million commitment (a.k.a. a bribe loan) to King Abdullah of Transjordan to sideline his opposition to the new state (see Simha Flapan, p. 138), and that was almost a million P£ at that time. To put things into perspective, that was 150% of what the Jewish Agency spent on rescuing Jews (P£669k) during the Holocaust. Now, allow this fact to sink in for a minute, and think how Jews' lives (in dollar figures) were valued by the yishuv! Well, love it or hate it, now we have a baseline to compare with how Jewish lives were valued!
   American Jews Boycotting Nazi Goods

   To prove what rescuing Europe's Jewry meant to Zionists in the 1930s and 40s, we urge you to read how David Ben-Gurion's biographer, Shabtai Teveth, described how Zionists' Ministry of Truth created a kind of newspeak language, where words such as rescue had negative connotations, which sheds light on Zionists' mindset during WWII!

   Like the concepts "disaster" and "destruction," "rescue," too, took on new meaning. In Zionist thinking, the word rescue had always carried a negative connotation, as it was taken to mean the antithesis of redemption -- the code word for Zionism's ideal --implying that there were solutions to the Jewish problem other than Palestine, or that individual distress could be alleviated while ignoring the problem of the people as a whole. Ben-Gurion considered such rescue as something that undermined Zionism; it was the duty of every Zionist to reject this temptation at all costs. He gave the highest priority to a rescue that would function as a lever to advance the Zionist cause and as a source of strength. In November 1935 he had said,
   Our movement will be doomed unless it exerts the greatest effort to salvage the absolute maximum of Jewish assets for Palestine, in the absolute minimum of time ... To the disaster of German Jewry we must offer a Zionist response, namely, we must convert the disaster into a source for the upbuilding of Palestine, we must save both the lives and the property of German Jewry for Palestine's sake. This rescue takes priority over all else. (The Burning Ground by Shabtai Teveth, p. 854)

   The Zionist Version Of Lebensraum: A Map Of The Great Israel

   In a nutshell, Zionist leaders worked hand over fist to close all windows and doors in a burning house, and they left one exit (Palestine) to Europe's Jews to maximize their political gains to defeat the White Paper of 1939. Actually, David Ben-Gurion referred to such a process as the LEVER that would create the "Jewish state". Ironically, Ben-Gurion used to refer to saving Jews outside of Palestine as more like "Witch Doctor's Medicine"! In layman's terms, those Jews who saved themselves in countries other than Palestine were doomed anyhow, therefore, that was a waste of resources and money. As will be proven shortly, Zionist leaders made sure that Europe's Jews were left with two options: either they made Aliyah to Palestine to join the yishuv or go to Auschwitz, and lobbied feverishly like hell against any viable third alternative. Sadly, this evil policy continued even after WWII ended in the DP camps. Just in case you think our characterization is over the top, wait until reading it from ChatGPT (who framed the two options as: land or coffin), or reading it from Ben-Gurion himself when the Holocaust was in its infancy:

   At the Biltmore Conference in May 1942 Ben-Gurion said: “The meaning of these two ships [Patria and Struma -- both were sunk during WWII with Jewish refugees onboard] is simple: Eretz-Israel or death-- and as soon as the war ends, many ships like these will stream to Eretz Israel.” (Beit-Zvi, p. 259)
   
   [Two important points to keep in mind: A) When Ben-Gurion said this statement, he knew that Patria was sunk by the Haganah based on Moshe Sharett's orders in Nov. 1940 (almost 16 months earlier ). That by itself was very telling. B) The mass majority of Europe's Jewry after WWII ended immigrated to the Americas and preferred to live with the Gentiles even after Palestine was emptied of its people.]

   Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in "empty" Palestine
   When the Russian Tsar started persecuting the Russian Jewish community in the early 1900s, you would think Zionist leaders at the time were quick to approve a rescue scheme. Oddly, that is exactly what happened. The founder of the Zionist movement, Theodor Herzl, quickly lobbied the Zionist Congress, which approved his proposal (by a significant margin) in Basel on August 26, 1903. Herzl even managed to gain British approval to colonize Uganda. That said, the founders of the "Jewish state" (i.e., David Ben-Gurion, Chaim Weizmann, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, ... etc.) quickly torpedoed the Uganda Scheme after Herzl died in 1904, which had the potential of saving millions if it succeeded. Ever since the Uganda Scheme, Zionist leaders of all shades resisted any rescue scheme EXCEPT for Palestine. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if Herzl hadn't died early on, Israel might have been created in Uganda and not in "empty" Palestine!
   
   By mid-1943, it became clear to the yishuv (especially in the Histadrut's leadership) that little was being done to rescue Europe's Jews, the Jewish Agency Executive (JAE) said it in plain English: we are not in the business of rescue; we are in the business of building a state, implying that rescue efforts are the responsibility of other Jewish organizations! On the other hand, the JAE insisted on hoarding as much of the rescue funds as possible to make sure the money would be spent on the future state to be! Thus in practice, literally Europe's Jews were left high and dry! When the records and the budget were examined, it became crystal clear: spending any penny on rescuing Jews outside of Palestine rendered the whole Zionist project mute! Therefore, un-saving those unfortunate Jews, in practice, was good for Zionism! That would explain how and why much of the rescue budget was diverted to building the state to be, wouldn't it? Inspect the case of War Refugee Board and see for yourself how Zionist leaders fought it with tooth and nail! To Zionist leaders' chagrin, up to 200,000 Jews were saved! From the Zionists' point of view, 20 million dollars were diverted from their pool of funds!
   Immigration Certificate that the British Mandate issued in the 1930s for the Jewish Agency, which it assigned to  settler-Jewish Colonist to immigrate to Palestine

   As Hitler rose to power and persecution of German Jews increased, Australia, the Soviet Union, and Japan offered to resettle German Jews. You would think Zionists welcomed such generous proposals? On the contrary, they were vehemently against:

   But the Australian, Russian, and Manchurian settlement opportunities were rejected by the Zionist Organization. Resettlement meant further dispersion and little more than another scenario for persecution, as Jews would again become guests of a host nation. A return to their own land in Palestine constituted the only end to centuries of catastrophic nomadism.
   
   The Zionist stance made it clear: Palestine or nothing. Now or never. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 260).

   Daily Express March 24th, 1933: 14 million Jews Worldwide Boycott Nazi Goods in mass

   If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, as we've assumed, you would not think they could lobby Nazis to make Palestine the only destination for German Jewish wealth existing in Germany? To prove how the German Jewish wealth (valued at 10-12 billion Reichsmarks which was more than Mefo bills' total size as of mid-1938) was front and center on the minds of Zionists when Hitler rose to power, Zionists lobbied the Nazis to make sure that if German Jews wished to save their wealth, then their wealth must be invested in Zionist communal enterprises in Palestine (where the capital would be locked for decades in the form of bonds):

   The attitude of the Histadrut officials was typical of Mapai leadership and their allies, who saw the wealth of German Jews as the most precious hostage held by the Third Reich. As part of this thinking, Georg Landauer and the ZVfD fought for German regulations that would prevent German Jews from saving their wealth by any means other than investing it in Palestine.
   Landauer recommended that ZVfD certification of emigrants be contingent upon purchasing land in Palestine, extending a loan to Nir [some Zionist communal enterprise], or participating in any approved Palestinian investments. Landauer's words: "therefore I would like to suggest that Emigrant Advisory Office....receive instructions whereby emigrant applications based on contracts with Palestinian colonization companies [better known as the Jewish Colonization Trust Ltd.] receive priority status" (The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black, p. 258-59).

   Just in case you make the mistake of thinking that German Jews were left with much after being milked (by Nazis and Zionists), then think twice. Only a fraction of the liquidated assets were available in cash; here are boring details.

   The main purpose of the Transfer [Agreement] is not to rescue the Jews from Germany but to strengthen various [Zionist] institutions in Palestine Baruch Vladek, Editor of Forward - 1936

   If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders as we've assumed, you would not think they objected against similar schemes (as Haavara) that saved five times as many within less than two years (not seven years as Haavara)? It should be noted that between 1938-39, a minimum of 250,000 German and Austrian Jews emigrated, and over 90% of them left without Haavara saving them! (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35), well, here are the boring details! Who should take credit for "saving" five times as much within 18 months (not seven years)? The Eichmann & Co. who terrorized those German Jews into leaving before murdering them? Watch Eichmann for two minutes using this argument in his defense at his trial in the early 1960s. Or the countries who received them penniless despite Zionists' objections! We wonder why Zionist Jews would ever object to saving other Jews (irrespective of the location) at a time of need? For the love of God, Hitler volunteered to ship Jews anywhere, at his own expense, until late 1941?

   Kindertransport children's ID Cards: How did Zionist leaders respond when British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

   If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, you would think Zionist leaders worked hand over fist with Great Britain to facilitate and expedite German Jews' departure after the Kristallnacht pogrom! Not only did Zionists attempt to scuttle such a scheme, but most importantly, Zionists were up in arms when the British suggested former German colonies (referring to Namibia which had the Herero Genocide by Germany two decades earlier) as a haven for German Jewish refugees (Politics of Rescue, p. 44). What was tragically criminal was how David Ben-Gurion, the founder of the "Jewish state," wished death upon the 10,000 Jewish kids who were saved a month after the pogrom! Not only didn't Ben-Gurion retract his infamous antisemitic statement, but the Jewish leadership, to this date, has never condemned Ben-Gurion's blatant antisemitism. To add salt to injury, Ben-Gurion never thanked the British people for their generosity and quick response. On the other hand, Albert Einstein and his friends at Princeton University were quick to do so! It is worth noting that David's antisemitic statement was translated into a policy during WWII. Zionists lobbied hard to close off any possible haven except for Palestine. Are these behaviors of leaders who cared about the plight of Europe's Jews? It should be noted that this figure (ten thousand saved) is almost as much as what Haavara allegedly "saved" (if any) not in a month but in seven years of normalization with Hitler! Well, if you care, here are the boring details.

   To get into Zionists' minds to understand why they have implemented such a policy (of focusing ONLY on Palestine as the haven for Jew), we have to ask: what if rescuing Jews was successful and much of the Holocaust was avoided, wouldn't saving Europe's Jews would have rendered the Zionist project mute? In depth, we have addressed that in another section.

   Fake Valor: Why Did Zionist Jews Hoist Nazis Flag on Their Ships in the 1930s?

   If a genocide was a possibility and Zionists were able to foresee it almost a decade before it happened, then why did Zionist and Jewish organizations insist that Jewish refugees should only be directed toward Palestine? Why did Zionists lobby against opening any other safe havens? You would think while Zionists were busy marketing Nazi goods all over the Middle East & North Africa, they bothered themselves to secure safe havens for Europe's Jews! Of course not. Is it possible that increasing Jewish suffering was used as the lever (by creating a refugee crisis using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology), which could force England to open Palestine for unfettered Jewish immigration? (NY Times, Jan. 4th, 1983, Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants by Aviva Halamish, p. 128-9, & The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman, p. 140-41). If you have the time, please contemplate reading Zionists' presentation to the US Committee on Foreign Affairs in early 1944 (yes, before the last million were murdered); nothing whatsoever was told about saving Jews anywhere EXCEPT for Palestine (see David Wyman's assessment during this period). Oddly, it was Professor Philip Khouri Hitti of Princeton University (YES, the Gentile Arab) who was one of a handful who dared to ask US lawmakers to open American gates to save Europe's Jews! What was even more tragic was that Zionists' agitation in support of the creation of the "Jewish state" (starting from the 2nd half of 1943) was so reckless and dangerous to the war efforts to the point that it prompted the British and the Americans to contemplate walking away from Zionism by reversing the Balfour Declaration in July 1943 (see what Peter Grose wrote on this little known subject, p. 178-9, and see how Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver treated President Truman on p. 229).

   Adolf Eichmann in Haifa, Palestine in 1937! We wonder what the Angel of Death was doing in Palestine. Was he there to meet with Mufti Haj Amin or Haganah's chief?

   It should be noted that Palestine was enshrined in Haavara as the ONLY destination for German Jews. As we pointed out earlier, Zionists lobbied Nazis to make Palestine the only destination if German Jews wished to retain much of their assets! (51 Documents, p. 49, The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 98, & The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black, p. 258-59, and Jewish Daily Bulletin Sept 3rd, 1933) You might ask yourself: Did this fixation on Palestine (as the ONLY destination for Jews) continue even at the height of the calamity and AFTER WWII ended in the DP camps? Here are the boring details. Remind us, please: How many Jews were murdered due to Haavara? Excuse our typo, we meant: How many Jews were "saved" due to Haavara? Only in the Zionist mind saving lives are equated with intentional reckless endangerment!

   Fake Valor: When American Rabbis marched in DC in Oct. 1943 to lobby for rescuing Jews, you would think Zionists supported them?

   When the largest gathering of American Rabbis marched in Washington, DC (which was the only protest by Jews in DC during WWII), to lobby President FDR to rescue Europe's Jews at the height of the calamity, you would think Zionist leaders closed ranks with them? You would think they had moved heaven and earth to save Jews' lives. Not only they did not join them, but most importantly, they weaponized Americans' fear of stirring up antisemitism to scare FDR from receiving them. What was low (very low) was that Zionist leaders attempted to appeal to FDR's racist instinct by reminding him that those Rabbis were low-class who had recently immigrated from Eastern Europe! Does this explain why most Jewish religious establishments petitioned the UN against the creation of the "Jewish state" in late 1947? Remind us again: how many Jews were murdered because of such policies and actions during WWII? Let us focus on those who were "allegedly saved"; that is much easier to tally! Pay attention that the same tactic has been employed against Palestinians for the past nine decades! Some old habits die hard! If you are interested in the boring details (as if Wikipedia wasn't good enough), here are more details from primary sources.

   Fake Valor: Jewish-Brigade, Italy April - 1945: The Impostering Hero, see me while I bomb Nazis ONLY a few weeks before WWII ended. We wonder: were any similar selfies taken at the al-Alamein meat grinder?

   If saving Jews consumed Zionists during WWII, would you think they did anything meaningful to fight the Nazi and other fascist forces? What was tragically comical was that Zionist leaders made sure that their boys would see tiny itsy-bitsy of action(s) at war's end, and by far ten thousand times more Indians, Muslims & Arabs fought and died saving real lives compared with the impostering heroes of the so-called Yishuv. (The Seventh Million, p. 83-4, 86-89 & 113, see also JVL) Zionist leadership was keen that their boys wouldn't be wasted in any side meaningless battles (like the meat grinders on the Libyan, Tunisian & Italian fronts) and to save them against their real enemy: Those Indigenous Arabs (The Seventh Million, p. 113). To put things into perspective, a couple of years after WWII ended,  Zionist leaders deployed more than twenty times as much to fight their real enemy: Those "Evil Arabs" who now replaced Nazis & Fascists. On the other hand, those antisemitic Europeans (who murdered millions of Jews whose graves were still fresh) quickly got a free pass just a few years after the Shoah ended. Don't you find it odd how every European nation eagerly voted for partitioning Palestine in late 1947, and of course, bygones became the bygones? Please don't take our word for it; here are the boring details from Zionist and Israeli sources. Only in the Zionist mind did Zionist Jews become Warsaw Ghetto Uprising heroes who defended Jewish honor! Only in the Zionist mind can the coward easily become the hero. OK, enough with the sarcasm; quickly quiz yourself, and if you answer correctly, you will get a nice prize: 
   

   Zionists were the only non-Nazi parties allowed to operate in Nazi Germany! Pay attention to Betar's SS-look-like uniforms!
   A) How many so-called Yishuv were killed while fighting Nazis, vs. Yishuv who were killed while fighting Arabs just 2-3 years after WWII ended! Now compare those with the Yishuv who got killed during the battle of Latrun!
   B) How many so-called Yishuv were killed while fighting Nazis vs. Arabs (including Palestinian, Jordanian, and North African Arabs) who were killed while fighting Nazis too?
   C) How many so-called Yishuv were deployed (not just enlisted) and saw action while fighting Nazis, vs. Arabs who were deployed and saw action while fighting Nazis too?
   D) How many so-called Yishuv were decorated while fighting Nazis, vs. Arabs who were decorated while fighting Nazis too?
   
   Note that on purpose, we omitted South Asian Muslims and non-Zionist Jews who served honorably at most meat grinders within the Allies' armies (especially in the Soviet Army); otherwise, the comparison would not be fair at all!
   The Evian Conference: America, Keep The Jews Out!

   If Jews' lives were endangered and saving them was paramount to Zionists, you would think they worked hand over fist with the Dominican Republic, who accepted to receive 100k German Jews (see Evian Conference for more details). On the contrary, the evidence shows that Zionists did the exact opposite by discouraging any German Jewish emigration except to Palestine! (Evian Conference's page at Wikipedia, The Transfer Agreement, p. 377 & The Jewish Trail of Tears, p. 147-150) What was odd was how Edwin Black didn't even allude to Peru's & Dominican Republic's offers to receive German and Austrian Jews and portrayed Palestine as the ONLY available and viable destination (The Transfer Agreement, p. 377). This big of a lie is widely spread among Jewish historians (especially the Zionist ones; here is the proof if you are interested). On this note, we would like to point out that often, the mainstream media paints the Evian conference as a failure. Based on our detailed research, this conclusion cannot be further from the truth. Here is a hint: The Evian Conference wasn't intended to solve the Jewish refugees crisis; it was designed to change public perception to become receptive to taking in all types of refugees. Here are the boring details.
   

   Jewish Daily Bulletin's front page on Sept. 3rd, 1933
   It should be emphasized that as of 1939, Latin America alone had already absorbed close to 100,000 German Jews, and that was larger than what the US took in during the same period (Simone Gigliotti, p. 24-5). If you are interested in the details, we urge you to examine what Beit Zvi wrote in Chapter 9 (see Post Uganda: Zionism On Trial, p. 211-240; pay attention to Charles J. Rosenbloom's article at the end of p. 222). To dig further into Zionists' mindset at the time, we ask you again to contemplate Ben-Gurion's reaction when he heard that Great Britain would accept 10,000 German Jewish children refugees a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom; here are the boring details. Just in case you are curious, here is how Zionists responded to the Alaska scheme that aimed to resettle thousands of European Jews in Alaska during the same period.
   Nazis vs. Zionists: Two sides of the same coin

   When the Nazis occupied half of Poland in Oct. 1939 (the other half was left to Stalin), the Jewish population under Nazi control increased by seven to eight folds overnight. Such a fact terrified the FDR administration since it signaled an imminent refugee crisis that dwarfed what anyone had imagined a year earlier (at the Evian Conference), which prompted policymakers to come up with a solution. In late October, FDR proposed the "Supplemental Jewish Homeland" to solve the Jewish refugee crisis that sidestepped Palestine (an idea that was started by President Hoover a few years earlier), and Zionists were up in arms against it. You would think at least Zionists had contemplated FDR's proposal! On the contrary, they fought it with tooth and nail (Politics of Rescue, p. 85-86, and more details on p. 102 to 109). A similar response happened when Great Britain promoted British Guiana as a haven for European Jewry; Zionists ripped it apart who were terrified that it would divert funds from their colonization activities in Palestine. When the State Department attempted to find a haven for Europe's Jews in the December 1940s, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Nahum Goldmann used their same old tactic (weaponizing antisemitism) to discourage the settlement of Jews in Latin America who told the state department employees that their activities: "might energize the anti-Semitic feelings" (as if Palestinians were so welcoming of more Jewish immigrants), see Politics of Rescue, p. 101.
   

   Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together
   To further prove how Zionist leaders were cynically criminal, here's an excellent case in point. Rabbi Stephen Wise lobbied the State Department to grant entry visas to his buddies (officials in the World Jewish Congress) from Nazi-occupied territories, while at the same time he was also lobbying to further restrict immigration quotas into the US (Politics of Rescue, p. 145-146, and 131). Remind us, please, how many Jews were murdered unnecessarily because of Zionists' policies? Who speaks for the dead?

   Since the Holocaust wasn't in the picture until the fall of 1941, is it possible that lobbying to close all possible safe havens had pushed Hitler to explore "extreme solutions" that he avoided for nine years? How such a policy didn't make the "final solution" inevitable! As late as August 1940, Hitler was contemplating shipping Jews to Madagascar! You would think Jews attempted to investigate this decision and its ramifications. Well, they did, but it was nixed early on. (NY Times, Jan. 4th, 1983) Are you surprised it was nixed? God forbid, that can't be a Zionist conspiracy, can it?

   Now it is time to ask: what if the six million were saved, how saving Europe's Jewry could have impacted the Zionist project?

   
   NY Times, Aug 25th, 1933: Zionists Rejected Boycott of Reich

   If Zionist leadership's intention was all about saving Jewish lives, would you not think they argued for boycott and anti-boycott simultaneously? As Haavara was being negotiated in mid-1933, they threatened the Nazis by scuttling another similar deal (i.e., Haavara V1.0 with Sam Cohen, who was a Revisionists sympathizer) if the Nazis would not go along with their scheme? God forbid, would Zionists hijack the same argument (of saving Jews) to argue for boycotting Nazi goods and against it simultaneously, depending on their interests? (The Transfer Agreement, p. 231, Jews For Sale?, p. 16) What is tragically funny is that Zionist leaders used this argument again to arm-twist Nazis after the German economy fully recovered in 1936, and the Nazis' Reichsbank reply was: Go ahead, as we see it, you need Haavara far more than we do! (Jews For Sale?, p. 16) By the way, if an Aryan spoke as such to Nazi officials at the time, he or she would have gotten a visit (maybe a spanking and invitation to Dachau, too) from either the SS or the Gestapo! Anyhow, the same gaslight of an argument was replicated with anti-Semitic Austrians (pre-Anschluss) who were threatened with a boycott if they didn't comply with Zionists' demands. However, the timing coincided with Zionists breaking up the anti-Nazi boycott, which minimized their bargaining power! (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 104) Only in the Zionists' minds the same argument (boycott) and its anti could be simultaneously articulated and justified, and in both cases, saving Jews' lives is weaponized as THE tool! How Jews consume this garbage is still a mystery! Are they willing accomplices? What has been written wasn't sourced from Palestinian, anti-Zionist, or even anti-Semitic Hasbarah books or blogs; we directly sourced the data from Zionist & Israeli sources. A lot was scanned to make it handy!
   

   The Zionist Version Of Lebensraum: A Map Of The Great Israel
   We hate to keep re-emphasizing Yehuda Baur's earlier point. Mr. Baur made a very compelling argument: many of those who immigrated to Palestine from Germany (especially those who immigrated via the Capitalist Visa program) could've easily done so via the Labor Certificate visa program (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35). Thus, even if Palestine wasn't their destination and its gates were completely shut in the 1930s-40s, those who immigrated to Palestine in the 1930s from Germany (especially those who used the Capitalist Visa program) could've easily immigrated to other areas that would've welcomed them with much fewer restrictions on capital requirements. In a nutshell, countries didn't object to Jews per se; many welcomed them as long they had the cash. Such immigration policy was a common practice, especially after the Great Depression. Sadly to this date, many Jews still conflate many nations' anti-immigration policies with antisemitism, which is completely wrong. In the case of Palestinians, they feared replacement and they made that clear on multiple occasions, and their objections to Jewish immigration had nothing to do with antisemitism. It is unfair and unjust to expect Palestinians to approve of those who openly plotted to replace them.
   Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special Gold Medallion in honor of the Nazis' relationship with Zionists!

   Despite Haavara, still the mass majority of German Jews during the 1930s voted with their feet and immigrated to areas other than Palestine (yes, they preferred to live with the Gentiles, which continues to this date). They still did that although German Jewry paid a hefty Reich Flight Tax, to which Haavara had limited exposure. Another important fact, which is often overlooked, is that two-thirds of the German Jews who immigrated to Palestine were able to do so because of the occupying power, England, which overruled Palestinians' objections at great risk to its blood and treasure. You would think Zionists appreciated such a gesture! On the contrary, two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bombed the Allies' war efforts during WWII while their families were being gassed in Poland. Therefore, the credit goes to the occupying power and not to the impostering heroes (a.k.a. the Yishuv) who cared the least about "saving" Jews' lives and, above all, who did the obsolete minimum to fight the Nazis! On the other hand, we admit it: Zionists were way ahead of their time, taking heroic selfies at the front! Mazeltov dear Zionist Jews; now give yourselves a big hand!

   Haavara embodied Herzl's strategy: The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, and antisemitic countries are our allies (Der Judenstaat)

   You would think Zionists had contemplated Adolf Eichmann's offer to save a million Jews a few years after Haavara ended in late 1941 (see Joel Brand & The Seventh Million). Eichmann's offer wasn't even considered! Is it possible it wasn't considered: A) since Eichmann's offer contained zero financial incentives? Or B) since the offer required payment of 10,000 winterized trucks & other provisions? Or C) because "the would-be saved Jews" were penniless and weren't guaranteed to immigrate to Palestine? D) What if the British Mandate guaranteed those Hungarian Jews the right of citizenship (not refugee status) in Palestine? Do you've any doubt that Zionist leaders would've moved heaven and earth to make a deal (as they did 11 years earlier when Zionists signed Haavara with Hitler in 1933)? Wasn't that exactly the LEVER (i.e., exploit a refugee crisis) that Ben-Gurion often spoke of for years?

   When the Bergson Group organized pageants in major US cities during the Holocaust, why did Zionist leaders lobby to shut them down?

   To get an idea of how Zionists reacted to Adolf Eichmann’s offer, you have to read Joel Brand's account of how Jewish Agency's (the "Jewish state" body before Nakba) heads treated him with contempt & indifference (zero urgencies); it was chilling to read on Wikipedia (pay attention to section May to October 1944; see also Beit-Zvi's take as well). Please keep in mind that one of the most tragic moments during the Holocaust was the deportation of the Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in 1944. What was ironic was that Zionist leaders in mass refused to rescue those poor souls, even to Palestine, but under the status of refugees. Zionists insisted that Jewish refugees must have full political rights on day one. Zionist leaders fought tooth and nail to torpedo such a resolution in the US Congress; you won't believe it until you read the boring details (Aaron Berman, p. 118-123 and The Bergson Boys, p. 298 - 299). The treason was repeated sooner after on July 2^nd, 1944 by David Ben-Gurion when the War Refugee Board (WRB) suggested shipping some of the same Jews to Libya; Zionists strongly objected.
   
   What is tragically funny about this fact is that Israel received over a million immigrants after the Soviet Union collapsed, were 70% of those were not even Jewish! Now, do you understand how Joel Brand's mission was torpedoed and his mission was leaked to the British press? Would you be surprised if it were Zionists who leaked Joel's mission to the press? Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl seems to have a similar story for those curious.

   
   Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

   Let us do a little of Kapos' math using Dr. Kastener's methodology:
   
   How does justifying the Haavara Agreement way after the fact doesn't resemble Dr. Rudolf Kastner's defense (for what happened on Kapos' chief infamous train) but at a much larger scale?
   
   -How Kastner's deceptions and lies (to 437,000 Hungarian Jews about their fate who were the last batch to go to Auschwitz) justify "saving" the selected few (himself, his closest family members, Zionist friends, and other wealthy 1,600 Jews)!
   

   Hungarian Jews were marched down Wesselenyi Street in the heart of Budapest's Jewish Quarter on-l their way to be deported to Auschwitz.
   -In a similar fashion, Zionist leaders "foresaw" the calamity and spoke of the Holocaust in the past tense before it happened, so-called "they felt helpless, defenseless, wanted to make the best out of a bad situation" of course, fomented antisemitism to accelerate the calamity, they stayed quiet about it during the war by suppressing & downplaying & it in the Zionist and American presses, diverted 7/8th of the rescue fund to build the state ahead of its time, weaponized Jewish refugees' pain & suffering (in the displaced persons --D.P.-- camps) as a LEVERAGE after WWII was concluded to achieve political gains and to save face they made a mediocre contribution to fight the Nazis at war's end. YES, ladies and gentlemen, Zionists "saved" 53,000 out of 6 million; much of whom would have been saved with or without Haavara (see Jews For Sale?, p. 17)! Mazeltov, Zionist Jews, give yourselves a big hand!
   
   King Chaim Rumkowski delivering a speech in Lodz's ghetto, 1941–42

   -What a heroic accomplishment! Both (Kastner and Zionists) were two sides of the same coin, and most importantly, both survived the Holocaust and painted themselves as the heroes. On the other hand, if they died (which could have been a real possibility if Rommel made it to Palestine, especially with the British defeat in Greece and Crete coupled with Vichy's presence in Syria and Lebanon), then both would've been portrayed as a traitor (Kapos). Ask yourself: those who survived Kastner's Train were thankful, but who speaks for the dead? Oddly, the Palestinian is speaking for the dead!

   From experience and by trial and error, Zionist leadership inferred that proposing non-Zionist solutions to the European Jewish refugees' problem would negatively impact their political and financial bottom lines! Thus, Zionist leaders deliberately hoarded and starved rescue funds, unless Jewish refugees' destination was ONLY Palestine.

   -Ironically, the earlier viable scenario (about both Ben-Gurion and Kastner) was exactly what happened to their fellow Polish Zionist activist Chaim Rumkowski, who was killed by other Jews in Auschwitz (pay attention to how Wikipedia still hides the fact that Chaim was a Zionist activist like Kastner). Both abused the concept of "saving lives" to not only deflect away from their treason, but also to show off their "heroism"!
   
   -On the subject of Kastner's Train, we are compelled to ask: How Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech (when he incited the murder of German Jewish children a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom) wasn't much worse than Rumkoski's "give me your children" speech which he made during WWII in Lodz's Ghetto? The only difference was the little luck that Rommel didn't make it to Palestine, little timing, place, four years, and how both died. It should be noted that what consumed Zionist leadership during the critical years of 1942 and 1943 wasn't confronting the threats from the Nazis or how to save Europe's Jews. On the contrary, what consumed them was how to garner political support for the creation of their "Jewish state", especially in the US during the Biltmore and the American Jewish Conferences. This policy continued even after the end of the war, for more details, please read what Peter Grose wrote, p. 168.

   Jews from the Warsaw ghetto are marched through the ghetto during deportation. Warsaw, Poland, 1942-1943

   -To add salt to injury, the Jewish Agency sent Dr. Kastner to the Nuremberg Trails to defend genocidal Nazis (Adolf Eichmann's aids, chief among them are the infamous SS officers Hermann Krumey, Kurt Becher, and Dieter Wisliceny) "allegedly to recover hidden Jewish wealth" (assuming you are gullible enough to believe this fish story, how that was not a crime by itself), and suppressing Nazi-Zionists ties or some quid pro quo deal with West Germany had nothing to do with it. For God's sake, can we contemplate this counterfactual scenario: what if Adolf Eichmann hadn't escaped to Argentina after WWII; then it would've been logical for the Jewish Agency to ask Dr. Kastner to testify in Eichmann's defense too; why not? It is all "good" guys; don't make a big deal out of it; it was done to "save Jews' lives", and of course to "recover Ali Baba's stolen Jewish treasures"! Pay attention to how the Jewish public at large was furious with Jewish Agency's conduct when it sent Dr. Kastner to defend the Nazis who managed the execution of the Holocaust. Based on our research, Zionists' treason was (and still is to a large degree) an open secret in Jewish communities around the world. The amount of gaslight that Jews have been consuming since WWII ended must have been at an industrial scale. We wonder how long this shall last? This treason must have been covered in the Jewish press; we are investigating this incident as we speak; we are willing to pay for news clips; stay tuned!

   
   Why most Kapos were Zionist activists? Click the picture for the details.

   -Is it too hard to say both wanted to serve their interests and to save their skins? Are you surprised how Ben-Gurion & Co. went on a limb to defend Dr. Kastner? Why not! To accept treasonous charges against Dr. Kastner implicates the Zionist leadership too! If the charges stood against Kastner, that implied Zionists are complicit! Then it would be logical to assume that Kastner was liquidated on purpose, especially when the assassin was a former Shin-Bet informer and Hurtists! Does that explain why the Israeli Supreme Court still insists to this date on not opening Kastner files because it could harm Israeli "national security"?

   -It should be noted that much of the Zionist & Israeli archives have already been opened for decades, and a lot of them destroyed, most of the Zionist myths the "Jewish state" was based on. Therefore, we are forced to ask: what could the Kastner trials' court proceedings contain that is much more damning than releasing the whole Zionist archive?

   -If you are interested in the boring details about Kastner, we urge you to watch Lenni Brenner and read Faris Yahya, Ruth Landau, and Tony Greenstein (p. 200-208), who all have taken this subject to the next level.

   
   A Zionist Haavara ad (in German & Hebrew) to encourage German Jews to use Haavara in the 1930s

   Since Haavara was signed in 1933, Nazi repression only increased, and Zionists didn't even contemplate pausing it during its nine years of life; not even after Nuremberg Race Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom! You would think Zionists would've reassessed their appeasement policies. On the contrary, they doubled down on Haavara as if there was no tomorrow! It should be noted that the British stopped the trading portion of Haavara in early 1940 (but the financial portion of Haavara continued until late Dec 1941 when FDR shut it down), and if it wasn't for Great Britain, Haavara would've continued unabated!
   
   On this point, we are forced to ask: How wasn't Haavara the FIRST willing passenger on the appeasement train that ended up destroying Europe? How did Zionists manage to monetize Nazi repression? Is it possible that similar tactics were used to nudge Arab Jews to force them into immigrating to Israel after Nakba? God forbid, you would not think Zionists fomented antisemitism (hoping it would create a refugee crisis) that would act as a political lever in the service of creating the "Jewish state"? (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants By Aviva Halamish, p. 128-9) Here are the boring details.
   

   Haavara funneled into Zionists' enterprises drained offers more than the total amount of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939
   When Irgunists in the US (a.k.a. the Bergson Group), attempted to mobilize public opinion and the American Jewish community to fight Hitler between 1941-43, you would think Ben-Gurion and Co. gave them a big helping hand! On the contrary, you cannot be further from the truth. To discredit the Bergson Groups, Rabbi Stephen Wise and his buddies were quick to point out those Irgunists were neo-fascists (which was true) and the collected funds would be stolen. Actually, Rabbi Wise and his buddy Nahum Goldmann lobbied the US government to financial audit the group by the IRS and to draft their leaders into the US army (see Wikipedia for boring details). Although Rabbi Wise and his cohorts provided zero evidence about Bergson Groups, what was tragically funny was that it was Rabbi Wise's buddies in Palestine who diverted much of what was collected for rescue, away from rescuing Europe's Jews! When the records are examine, it became clear Zionist leaders were terrified that the Irgunists' plans could divert donations and other resources from building their future state (Aaron Berman, p. 130-31 & 118-123). Honestly, how could you argue that such policies and actions didn't murder Jews? If you are interested in the boring details all sourced from primary sources (as if Wikipedia wasn't good enough), here are the boring details. You may lose your religion; you have been warned.
   
   
   JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away
   Concerning those Irgunists, please keep in mind that although their policy and actions were honorable, they pursued conflicting policies. One that mobilized the public against the Nazis in the US, and the other policy advocated bombing the Allies' war efforts in the Middle East. Imagine yourself hungry, thus you decide to eat a couple of your fingers! These policies were the perfect display of cognitive dissonance on steroids, especially when we factor in that Zionist leaders' families were being gassed in Poland during this period!.

   If Haavara "saved” Jews, then according to this preposterous logic: A) England exterminated Europe’s Jews since England halted the trading portion of Haavara in late 1939 (after the Nazi occupation of Poland)! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 378). B) The same ridiculous logic could be applied to the US shutting down the money transfer portion of Haavara in December 1941! C) Let us see where this preposterous argument ends: Should Jews thank Hitler for bailing out the Jewish Agency when it was almost bankrupt during the great depression? Wasn't it Hitler who kept Europe's doors open for Jews to leave until late 1941 and offered to ship Jews anywhere a luxury liners? Wasn't it Hitler's terror during Kristallnacht that pushed a third of Germany's Jews to leave in early 1939? Well, love it or hate it, based on this farce of an argument, the Nazis "saved" six to eight times as many Jews in comparison with Haavara!
   

   David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details
   What was tragically funny was that Adolf Eichmann used such an argument in his defense (during his trial in the early 1960s) to prove that he "saved" Jews' lives when he coordinated with Aliyah Bet between 1938 and 1941! Did Eichmann "save lives"? Technically, the answer is yes. On the other hand, he willfully killed hundreds of thousands, too. In our humble opinion, Eichmann's motives should be examined, and this is how Haavara should be judged! Shamelessly, Zionist Jews have the habit of abusing the English language where the words, such as saving lives, valor, or peace, have been flipped on their heads. Reckless endangerment of Jews is equivalent to "saving" them! As we have seen earlier, such an excuse was also used by Dr. Rezo Kastner (the head of Kapos in Hungary during WWII) to paint himself as a hero instead of being a sellout!. This is Orwell's Ministry of Truth on steroids.

   As you contemplate the earlier arguments and facts, please keep in mind that Jewish Agency offices in Germany were only closed as late as May 1941! (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 276). On this note, don't you find it odd how Zionists and Nazis wanted to continue Haavara even after the invasion of Poland? On top of that, Zionists never waste a moment to remind us how Chamberlain appeased Hitler, although it was Zionists who did far worse FIRST and continued to appease Nazis for 7-9 years with no interruptions! This warped sense of reality can only exist, be justified, and promoted in the Zionist mind! There is no logic, no sense of humanity, only winning at all costs; that is their bottom line from day one. Always risk it all, even when it is not a life-or-death situation!
   

   Adolf Eichmann in Haifa, Palestine in 1937! We wonder what the Angel of Death was doing in Palestine. Was he there to meet with Mufti Haj Amin or Haganah's chief?
   What's truly tragically criminal is that many Zionist Jews look back in the rear back mirror with little regrets, even when they know in advance that enabling the devil resulted in the genocide of millions of Jews and other Europeans! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 250) All this risk-taking was done to build an apartheid state (which borrowed much of its racial laws from National Socialists) to "save" 53,000 lives, much of whom would have left Germany anyhow. In return: A) tens of millions perished, B) the "Jewish state" ended up dispossessing and ethnically cleansing millions, C) and most importantly ended up locking Jews and Arabs into an eternal struggle! D) How this enterprise wasn't a high-stakes poker game at its worst! Is it hard to admit it: Haavara was done to serve Zionists' goals irrespective of the risks?

   You would think Zionist leaders had softened their hearts after WWII was concluded, and they stopped weaponizing Jewish pain & suffering as a lever (hoping it would create a refugee crisis) that could be used to create their "Jewish state"? On the contrary, Zionist leadership doubled down on closing off any possible safe havens for Jews in the displaced persons' camps, except for Palestine. Don't take our word for it; here it is from the NY Times' editor (Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, one of the most prominent American Jews in New York City) who stated on October 27th, 1946:

   "it is unfair to carry on this political controversy at the expense of the miserable tenants of the D.P. Camps," Mr. Sulzberger emphasized.
   "Nor will the philosophical and political ideal for Jewish statehood die by reason of delay if it deserves to live; but refugees will die if humanity too long delays their rescue" "I cannot rid myself of the feeling," he added, "that the unfortunate Jew of Europe's D.P. Camps are helpless hostages for whom statehood has been made only acceptable ransom."
    

   "I acknowledge," he continued," that those who view Jews as a race instead of as faith and faith only, as I do, have reasons for national aspirations which I don't share."
   "I acknowledge that those to whom a Jewish state has been a life-long goal can be expected to pursue it even when the costs are high, but it seems to me that the cost of statehood today in terms of human suffering is greater than people can be asked to bear."

   It is stunning how Zionists Jews argue both sides of the argument: Zionists can deal with and enable the devil to "save Jews," but the same twisted logic can't be applied to Mufti's collaboration with Nazis when he wanted to save Palestinians from Nakba! Of course, Palestine (the most important land bridge in human history) was empty and romantically waiting for 2000 years until Zionist Jews populated it, bloomed its Negev desert (for the first time since the ice age), and above all, Palestinians never existed who willingly abandoned their homes, farms, businesses, and lands! Once you drug yourself with such fantastic big lies, it becomes much easier to justify genocides and Nakbas. Do you understand from where this ideology was borrowed from? Do you understand why Zionists didn't condemn the Nuremberg Race Laws? Do you understand why Zionists welcomed wearing the Yellow Star of David with the slogan of "Wear it with Pride"? What pride were these people were talking about? Only in the Zionist mind: shame is equated with pride; dishonor is equated with honor! Anyhow, in return for their Uncle Tom's loyalty, Hitler showered Zionists with privileges Aryans dreamed of!

   If "saving German Jews" was paramount to Zionists, you would think they would speak openly about Haavara; you would think they are proud of their deeds! On the country, they attempted to hide its details from the start, and Zionist leadership rarely spoke of it; that is why it is a taboo subject. Labor Zionists (Ben-Gurion's party) denied they had anything to do with the deal during the 18th Zionist Congress (despite Nazi leaks to the German press), and only the 19th Zionist Congress adopted Haavara two years after it was signed. Ben-Gurion ensured his name didn't appear with Haavara, although he had already approved it. (The Transfer Agreement, p. xxi-xxii, p. 300-306). On the other hand, Zionists never waste a moment without reminding us that Palestinians (not Europeans who ganged upon them) are collectively liable for the Holocaust (as Nazis) because of Mufti Haj Amin's actions, which he did nine years after Haavara was signed! We hate to keep reminding the readers that the yishuv in the best case situation AVOIDED fighting the Nazis to the bitter end, and two of Israel's PMs ( (Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir) BOMBED WWII war efforts when Palestinians CEASED fighted GB. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Zionists' fake valor continued when they knew well that the Nazis were gassing their own families in Poland! Such twisted argument, such a wrapped sense of reality could only exist in the Zionist mind!

   Does this explain why the Zionist press downplayed the Holocaust as it was in progress? (Abraham Burg, p. 74). Zionist leadership knew of the mass killing as early as mid-1942 (Rabbi Wise knew way before FDR informed him). From our investigation, Zionist leaders ONLY reacted to public pressure once the news enraged Jews (especially in Palestine and the US), and only then did they bother themselves to release statements to the press (see the first five to six chapters in Dina Porat's book). In Palestine, we've found a few demonstrations during WWII that Zionist leaders led. On the other hand, when the British High Commissioner in Palestine refused to grant entry visas for Jewish refugees, they didn't hesitate to demonstrate and ask for his head. Why did they go the extra mile to keep it out of the press? What more harm could have been done by warning Jews of the calamity heading towards them? Does this explain why Ben-Gurion & Co. kept the so-called Yishuv out of the war? Does this explain why only a few of the Yishuv saw action at the war's end? Why enrage the public, who could end up forcing them to risk creating the state? (such as fighting Hitler). Just imagine if public opinion forced them to deploy their precious so-called Yishuv in defense of Jewish honor at the meat grinder on the Italian, Tunisian, and Libyan fronts! How many would have been left to fight the real enemy: That Indigenous Arab who doesn't exist! Here are the boring details!

   Anti-Nazi demonstration in N.Y. City demanding boycott, 1933

   Do you think Ben-Gurion would've "saved" 53,000 Jews via Haavara if there were ZERO incentives? Does that explain why Jabotinsky was against Haavara? Revisionists got ZERO incentives, especially after Haavara V1 (Sam Cohen started that) was stolen from them. It should be noted that the Jewish Agency was on the verge of going bankrupt in 1931 & 1933! All Zionist enterprises were on the ropes! The noose was around their necks!
   
   Do you think Ben-Gurion would've "saved" 53k Jews via Haavara if the financial, political, and military foundations of the "Jewish state" were already in place? All these were absent before Haavara; the Jewish Agency was on the verge of bankruptcy, as we have pointed out earlier!
   
   Can you honestly name one rescue scheme that was engineered to save Jews to any haven other than Palestine that Zionists didn't attempt to either destroy, torpedo, annihilate, or frustrate? You cannot. To rob salt into the wound, Zionists portray themselves as the hero who fought Nazis & saved Jews' honor at Warsaw's Ghetto Uprising. Of course, the train of big lies continues and is passed on from generation to generation!

   "Report On The State of Palestine" issued on Match 28th, 1921 by the Third Palestine Arab Congress to Winston Churchill

   We were stunned to find a JTA report on Feb 16th, 1943 which cited the Jewish Agency had anticipated the defeat of the Axis powers by the end of the year! Therefore, the Jewish Agency had allocated 10% of its annual budget ($4,608,000) to help transition yishuv's life and economy from war to peace footing! Just think about it for a minute: why spend a lot of money to rescue Europe's Jews when the war will be over soon? Remember, this happened when the last two million were still alive! Since the war ended 2 1/2 years later, may we know what happened to this money? How many Jewish lives were lost because of such policies?

   To prove that Zionist knew what they were doing from day one and the risks their policies entailed, it is worth quoting Lenni Brenner who cited Rabbi Stephen Wise in a speech at a World Jewish Conference at Geneva in 1934 (yes, eight years before the Final Solution). Wise attacked the Labourites (a.k.a. Labour Zionists or MAPAI) who had become the dominant force in Palestinian Zionism:

   One leading Palestinian put it over and over again at Prague: Palestine has primacy. This conference must clearly state that while Palestine has primacy over all other factors in the equation, its primacy ceases when it comes into conflict with a higher moral law. (Dr. Stephen Wise on Policy of World Jewry, World Jewry, London, 24 August 1934 -- p. 395)

   Wise had identified the rot in the World Zionist Organization (WZO): the land of Israel had become far more important than the needs of the people of Israel. Labour Zionism had become, in the fullest sense, a utopian cult. They saw a new Jew in the old Jewish land as the only way for a Jewish nation to continue to exist. The real Jewish people, the millions of Jews of the Diaspora, were no more than a reservoir from which they would pick young immigrants to build their state. The Diaspora, as such, was doomed: either the Jews would be driven out, as in Germany, or assimilated as in France. With this strange perspective that Jewish survival stood or fell with them in Israel, the Zionists were driven to seek more from the Nazis to make their vision into a reality.

   If prior arguments and facts haven't dismantled this big lie yet, please contemplate how Zionist Edwin Black described Zionists' mindset before Shoah and during the 1930s as follows:

   "In the minds of Zionists, Jewish life in Germany could not be saved, only transferred. Even if Hitler and the German economy were crushed, Jewish wealth in Germany would be crushed with it...[as if Mr. Black implies that crushing Nazi Germany early on doesn't serve the Zionist cause!] ..The wealth had to be saved. Through the speedy liquidation and transfer of that wealth, the Jewish homeland could be built, thus creating the refuge needed for a mass transfer of the people. Zionism had declared from the moment of Herzl that antisemitic regimes were to be opposed. They [antisemitic regimes] were to be cooperated with in the transfer of Jews and their wealth." (p. 226)

   Note how Mr. Black contradicted himself on pages 379-380 when he claimed that Zionists in the 1930s had no way of anticipating a genocide of German Jews. However, here he assumed that Zionists thought that German Jews' lives couldn't be saved, although the majority of them left! Tom Segev (p. 102-104) has found that Zionists used to talk about the Holocaust in the past tense (see for yourself how many Zionist leaders subscribed to Catastrophic Zionism which was a kind of apocalyptic cult); way ahead of its time in the 1930s (actually, Ben-Gurion called Kindertransport that saved ten thousand Jewish kids useless "Witch Doctor's Medicine" which was a month after the 1938 pogrom). Therefore, very little could be done to save Europe's Jews! In the Zionist mind, the Holocaust had already happened, and there was one thing left for them to do, which was to exploit the calamity to be in the service of building the "Jewish state"! What was tragic and criminal was that when Ben-Gurion recognized that German Jews were voting with their feet and immigrating to countries other than Palestine (that was a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom); he was so angry and hoped they drop dead. That said, this analysis is in sync 100% with Aviva Halamish's finding too (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants, p. 128-9); as if they wanted Shoah to happen, therefore converting Jewish suffering into a political lever (by creating a refugees crisis using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) that will enable them to achieve their goals! If Jews were already dead in their minds, then fomenting antisemitism would make little difference; they were dead anyhow! Here is another instance where Ben-Gurion spoke forcefully to defend Haavara on December 11th, 1935. Note how he spoke of the destruction of German Jewry 6 years before the fact; despite this assertion, David & other Jewish Agency executives allocated under 16% of the immigration certificates to German Jews:

   Only Eretz-Israel can serve as a cure for German Jewry, even if not for all of them; any other "cure" is a false hope. We cannot topple Hitler; perhaps he will be toppled some other way. We must be concerned with the fate of the children and women, who are choking in this destructive hell. There is one way to rescue them-- to bring them to Eretz-Israel, with their capital. Their capital -- that is, merchandise, and by this, I do not mean French or English merchandise. The only question is whether the money will return to Germany. This is not German merchandise; this is Jewish capital, belonging to Jews who are going to their destruction ... we have no other honor except by rescuing Jews and bringing them to Eretz-Israel.'" (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 104)
   
   In a nutshell, those Jews who didn't immigrate to Palestine and chose to be saved somewhere else, they were as good as dead to him! Tragically, that is exactly what Ben-Gurion articulated a month after the 1938 pogrom as we outlined earlier. It should be noted that David never retracted his antisemitism, and Zionists turned it into a policy during WWII!

   
   Palestinians Ask: Did Zionist Jews Give a Good Name For Refugees?

   If you are still convinced that Haavara was signed with Nazis to save Jews' lives, we urge you to contemplate Baruch Vladeck's (editor of Forward) rebuttal to this deal which he wrote in January of 1936.
   
   We hate to reiterate it again and again: the vast majority of German Jews were assimilationist, liberal & socialist BUND who were anti-Zionist and considered Zionists to be the enemy from within. You won't believe it until you read the details.
   
   Here is the unvarnished truth: all the prior facts and arguments prove that this ridiculous of an argument (that Haavara "saved" lives) was concocted as a gaslight (a.k.a. the art of Hasbarah in Hebrew) way after the fact, especially when it doesn't correlate with the actual events! 
   
   Only in the Zionist mind could reality be warped to such a degree where murder, cowardliness & treachery are equated with heroism! 
   Only in the Zionist mind the meanings of saving & endangering are synonymous!
   
   God forbid, if you still give Zionists the benefit of the doubt, and you feel that we have not made the case against Zionism; we urge you to watch Johnny Harris (the famous YouTuber who is a known supporter of the "Jewish state") for two minutes explaining how Zionism has been a failure and how it has created a state that provided the opposite of the security and safety it promised the "Jewish people":
   
   
   How is Mr. Harris' conclusion not in sync 100% with Albert Einstein's prediction (a day after the Deir Yassin massacre) when he predicted that Zionists would bring a Nakba upon Jews? Let us hope Mr. Harris won't get canceled for telling the truth to the powerful.
   
   Zionism: What a terrible disease of the mind!

   Back To Haavara FAQs
2. In May 1939, MS St. Louis in Havana was denied the right to unload its Jewish passengers in Cuba & US, and it was forced to go back to Antwerp. Jewish Agency refused to give any of its passengers immigration visas to Palestine. Over 250 of the passengers perished during the Holocaust.
   When Caribbean countries and the US refused to grant entry visas to MS St. Louis Ship’s Voyage of the Damned (May 1939) and forced it to go back to Antwerp, you would think the Jewish Agency allocated a few of its immigration certificates for some of St. Louis' passengers!
   
   The exact opposite happened; the Jewish Agency refused even to save one of those damned passengers! (The Seventh Million, p. 44) It should be noted that 254 of MS St. Louis’ passengers ended up being murdered during the Holocaust!
   
   What was stunning was that Zionist leaders NEVER pleaded with any government to rescue even one of those damned passengers! On the contrary, Rabbi Stephen Wise, one of the most influential American Zionist leaders in the 1930s & 40s, lobbied against any increase in immigration quotas around the same time. Not even a thank you cable was sent to any of those countries who accepted some of those damned Jews!
   
   If you are curious as to why Zionists behaved as such; we urge you to ask yourself:
   How did Zionist leaders respond when England accepted 10,000 German Jewish children (a.k.a. Kindertransport) 7 months earlier, soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom?
   Did Zionists send a cable to thank the British people for their generosities?
   God forbid, did Zionist leaders behave similarly even after WWII in the displaced persons camps?
   Why did Zionist leaders hinder rescuing Jews at a time of need?
   How such behavior wasn't exactly as if Zionist leaders implemented the Hannibal Doctrine to the maximum? Isn't that what happened after the Oct. 7th Raid? After six months of war in Gaza, does it seem to you that Zionist Jews care about the Israeli "hostages"?
   Just in case you think that this behavior was limited to American Zionists, please think twice. We have found there was a sizable chunk in the American Jewish community who were against increasing immigration quotas even during WWII.

   You would think Zionists acted in solidarity with Jews and non-Jews worldwide who protested Hitler’s rise & attacks on German Jews in early 1933.
   
   You would not think Zionists banned protests against Nazis' fascist policies?

   NYTimes, Aug 25th, 1933: Zionists Rejected Boycott of Reich
   Well, you can't be further from the truth. As Hitler rose to power in early 1933, Zionists exploited the
   A) increase in German unemployment (despite that the numbers were watered down by not including Jews & Marxists),
   B) Hitler's desires to ethnically cleanse and dispossess German Jews (who had considerable wealth), and
   C) the effects of the spontaneous crippling worldwide boycott against the Nazi regime, not to pressure Nazis to change their fascist policies but to extract a better deal from Hitler, which they did. For example, the German vital trade surplus for the first four months of 1933 was down by 50%, and other trades (like fur, wine, textile & diamonds) were almost completely devastated, and most importantly, Germany's foreign exchange reserve dwindled from RM 3.3 billion to 450 million. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 129-131, 181, 111, 223, 227, ch. 29, 264-271).
   
   The fact is Hitler got unfavorable terms early on not only because of the effectiveness of the worldwide anti-Nazi boycott, but also because the Nazis were consumed with their own antisemitic propaganda: "Jewish Hegemony" over world trade. It should be noted that exporting hard currency out of Germany was forbidden to all Germans (to Jews and Aryans alike). However, Hitler made an exception to Jews only to satisfy British Mandate Capitalist visa program requirements of P£1,000 (The Transfer Agreement, p. 82-4), a kindness that wasn't even extended to Aryans. Also, keep in mind that as the Reich Flight Tax (progressively increased: the tax started at 23% in 1931, then it was raised to 70% in 1936, 85% in 1937 & 95% in 1939 on assets above RM 50,000) which Haavara had limited exposure to. This policy pushed or nudged many German Jews to deposit their assets into Haavara's blocked account II (although they didn't immigrate to Palestine), which later funded Zionists' communal enterprises. (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants By Aviva Halamish, p. 135-8)
   
   From the Nazis' points of view, there was another major advantage for Haavara (besides stimulating their export-based industries, reducing unemployment & dismantling the boycott) was how this deal helped to re-capitalize the German banking system (more on that soon from Nahum Goldmann), which was on its knees in the early 1930s. Actually, Zionists were terrified when the German currency the Reichsmark (RM) was destabilized in July 1933, and how frantically they worked to stabilize Hitler's economy a month before Haavara was signed (The Transfer Agreement, p. 253-4)! Of course, Nazis appreciate such a willing partner. In return, Hitler showered Zionists with privileges the majority of Aryans didn't get! What good friends are for!
   
   Edwin Black wrote the following assessment of the Zionist mindset when Hitler rose to power. Honestly, it is second to none:

   During the first days after Hitler's boycott against Germany's Jews [early 1933], the Zionist movement's hierarchy in Europe and America was busy trying to plot a course of action. Their objective was not to mobilize Jewish and non-Jewish resources for the preservation of Jewish rights in Germany. Rather, they sought a means of turning the miseries of German Jewry into a new impetus for a Jewish Homeland in Palestine.
   
   Zionist leadership had, in fact, refused to oppose the Nazi expulsion ideology from the outset. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 78-9)

   Zionist Leaders' Thoughts On Appeasing Antisemites Way After The Fact

   Anti-Nazi Demonstration in Detroit, March 13, 1938. If this happened in Palestine, D. Ben-Gurion would have arrested them! Are you surprised?
   To paint a vivid picture of this critical period (in early 1933), we decided to include Nahum Goldmann's assessment of this period. Mr. Goldmann was one of the most important founding members of the "Jewish state" who we witnessed firsthand the most critical events in the 1930s and 40s. Below, Mr. Goldmann looked back with great remorse and painful regrets because he genuinely believed Jews (especially the Zionists) had dropped the ball on many occasions in the 1930s and 40s. He felt that at every turn Jews had engaged antisemites and fascists with appeasement instead of confronting them. Ironically, it was the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, who taught Zionists to appease antisemites whom he predicted would become Zionists' best friends! Our critical assessment follows what Mr. Goldmann wrote between brackets and in italic:

   Furthermore, most contemporary Jewish leaders were not prepared to defend Jewish rights by political means under any circumstances, but confined themselves to philanthropy and relief measures. I considered these methods not only ineffective in the long run but actually harmful, because ultimately they amounted to offering financial compensation for the persecution of Jews. When the Nazis announced that they were going to deprive German Jews of their human rights, ruin them economically, and finally expel them, the reaction of the influential American-Jewish leaders was equivalent to replying to Hitler: We will send millions of dollars to Germany to aid the Jews and thus strengthen the German economy. Colonel Beck, the Polish foreign minister--no Nazi, to be sure, though an anti-Semite--confirmed this in a conversation I had with him. Hitler, he said, had received several million dollars in Jewish relief funds from America, in response to threats to Germany's six hundred thousand Jews. Why should Poland not do the same with its three million Jews and receive five times the reward?
   
   We, the leaders of the WJC, tried desperately to mobilize the Jews and persuade them to fight Nazism by political means. If we had succeeded, in the first few years, in organizing an effective anti-Nazi boycott and mobilizing the influence of Jews, especially in America and England, against the Nazi regime when it was still weak and if, as I feel sure, though, of course, I cannot prove it, millions of gentiles would have joined us, we might have produced, if not the suspension of the Nuremberg Laws, at least a mitigation of the persecution and possibly an arrangement whereby German Jews could emigrate and take a considerable percentage of their assets with them. But all these proposals met with very little response in the world and, as Dr. Wise bitterly admitted, they were actually opposed by influential Jews in the United States. Since even the leaders of German Jewry did not endorse them, they remained completely futile.
   
   

   Revisionists Boycott Poster

   We complain today that the non-Jewish world did not take an effective moral and political stand against the Nazi regime but embarked instead upon years of appeasement and had to pay the price with the Second World War. Historically, these charges are completely justified, but no less justified is the self-accusation of our people, which irresolutely and myopically watched the coming of the greatest catastrophe in its history and prepared no adequate defense. We cannot offer the excuse that we were attacked unexpectedly. Everything Hitler and his regime did to us had been announced with cynical candor beforehand. Our naivete and complacent optimism led us to ignore these threats. In this mortifying chapter of Jewish history, there is no excuse for our generation as a whole or most of our leaders. We must stand as a generation not only condemned to witness the destruction of a third of our number but guilty of having accepted it without any resistance worthy of the name.
   
   In those years of fruitless struggle against Nazism, with all their deep disappointments, I sometimes found more understanding among gentile leaders than among Jewish ones. An example of this is the conversation I had in Geneva with Eduard Benes, the Czech foreign minister, who asked me to come and see him a few days after the promulgation of the Nuremberg Laws. I can still picture him, excited and almost shouting, pacing back and forth across his corner salon in the Hotel Beau Rivage, where for two hours he reproachfully demanded to know why the Jews did not react on a grand scale, why my friends and I did not immediately call an international Jewish congress and declare all-out war on the National Socialist regime. He assured me that he and many other non-Jewish statelessness would give us their full support. "Don't you understand," he shouted, "that by reacting with nothing but half-hearted gestures, by failing to arouse world public opinion and take vigorous action against the Germans, the Jews are endangering their future and their human rights all over the world? If you go on like this, Hitler's example will be contagious and encourage all the anti-Semites throughout the world."
   
   

   JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

   I have been through many painful interviews in my life, but I have never felt so uncomfortable and ashamed as I did during those two hours. I knew it was right. Nevertheless, I tried to defend the attitude of world Jewry by pointing out the difficulties of organizing politically a dispersed, homeless people and the reluctance of many Jewish spokesmen to take a hostile position toward Germany so long as their governments maintained friendly relations with it. None of my arguments had any effect and I left Benek after promising to try, at least, to obtain some international action against the Nuremberg Laws, although, of course, I knew I would never succeed. During those years, we lost the respect of many well-meaning friends who expected a united, deeply perturbed world Jewry to proclaim a moral and political crusade against the Nazi regime. No one can tell what might have happened if we had done so. There were unquestionably cases, such as the Bernheim Petition or the dispute about Jewish rights in the Saar, in which political resistance proved effective in those early days of National Socialism. But in this context, such success was irrelevant. What matters in a situation of this sort is a people's moral stance, its readiness to fight back instead of helplessly allowing itself to be massacred. We did not stand the test. (Autobiography by Nahum Goldmann, p. 147 - 149)
   
   [Pay attention to how Mr. Goldmann completely covered up the fact that it was he and his Zionist organizations who played an active role in breaking up the anti-Nazi boycott; his whole assessment didn't even mention the Haavara Agreement, and that is very telling. If you are interested here is our critical review of what Mr. Goldman wrote.]

   
   Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

   The question every Jew must ask:
   
   What if Zionist leaders weren't the first to break up the crippling boycott on Nazis? It should be noted that Ben-Gurion's Mapai banned all anti-Nazi protests as early as Sept. 2nd, 1933 (The Transfer Agreement, p. 339). What was tragically funny was that we found this Zionist policy persisted during WWII; we found very few protests against the Nazis. On the other hand, anti-British protests were widespread, and terrorizing allied war efforts in Palestine and Egypt were! This should give an idea of how fighting Hitler and rescuing Jews was "front and center" to Zionist leaders.
   
   When Zionists Jews eagerly normalized trade with Nazis for advantage AND were ahead of any nation, corporation & individuals (8 years ahead of Mufti Haj Amin & Vichy), how such behavior didn't set the stage for breaking up the worldwide boycott! If Jews normalized trade first with Hitler as early as 1933, who to blame the Austrians, Henry Ford, IBM, Stalin, Chamberlain, Mufti Haj Amin, or the Poles?

   NY City, anti-Nazi Boycott poster, 1933

   What would've happened if the crippling unorganized worldwide boycott of the Nazi regime persisted and strengthened with more organization at the trade unions & associations level, and Zionists didn't position themselves for advantage by nixing it?
   
    Wouldn't you think Zionists would go out of their way to hoist Swastikas (on their Haavara fleet) as they were selling Nazi goods all over MENA and Europe? You wouldn't think they would do such a thing a year ahead of the German Navy? If you have any questions, here are the details. It is OK, guys; showing their love for the great leader was done in good faith to "save" Jews' lives.

   Here is the unvarnished truth: the Nazi-led regime coalition government in 1933 would've most likely collapsed as it happened to other earlier German coalitions! To recognize how effective the boycott was and the fear it generated within Nazi ranks, especially in early 1933, you've to read chapters 18,19, & 29 in The Transfer Agreement, p. 177-194, 264-271. If you have the time; we urge your to read "The Economic Bulletin By The Anti-Nazi League" for Sept. 1934; it will give you an idea of the Nazis situation plus it will give you an idea of how the general Jewish public looked upon boycotting the Nazis. God forbid, if we still have not communicated our point of view; we urge you to watch Tony Greenstein for 140 seconds articulating our main points. Tony is an authority on this subject:
   
   
   When Zionists are confronted with the unpleasant facts, they often deflect by claiming that German exports to Palestine were tiny compared to the German total exports. Well, here is our detailed reply to this argument.

4. Why were Zionist leaders frantic in stabilizing the German currency and economy in early 1933?

   You would think the Zionist leaders worked hand over fist to undermine the Nazis' banking system and economy?
   
   On the contrary, Zionists were in a panic mode when they heard that the German currency Reichsmark was heading south and the anti-Nazi boycott was jeopardizing their investment! Keep in mind that German Jews' assets were valued at RM 10-12 billion at the time (The Transfer Agreement, p. 187). Don't take our word for it, here it's from Zionist Edwin Black:
   

   "It was one thing for the Zionists to subvert the anti-Nazi boycott. Zionism needed to transfer out the capital of German Jews and merchandise was the only available medium. But soon Zionist leaders understood that the success of the future Jewish Palestinian economy would be inextricably bound up with the survival of the Nazi economy. So the Zionist leadership was compelled to go further. The German economy would have to be safe-guarded, stabilized, and if necessary reinforced. Hence, the Nazi party and the Zionist Organization shared a common stake in the recovery of Germany. If the Hitler economy fell, both sides would be ruined." (The Transfer Agreement, p. 253)
   
   

   Why did Great Britain indite two of Israeli's futures PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British; they must have been "Jew hating" antisemites!

   [Yes ladies and gentlemen, Zionists were running like chicken with its head off trying to stabilized Hitler's economy a month before Haavara was signed; Mazeltov. Jews; please give yourselves a big hand.]

   Note how Mr. Black had to insert his Hasbarah (gaslight) into the facts: Zionists were not compelled into stabilizing the devil Mr. Black: Nazis had no gun pointed at Zionists' heads. Actually in the case of Europe's Jews (not Palestine's), Hitler kept the doors open for them to leave until late 1941, and during the 1930s he used to brag that he would be willing to ship Germany's and Austria's Jews anywhere on luxury liners. On the other hand, Zionist Jews made Palestinians antisemites and collectively liable for Shoah (as Nazis) because Mufti Haj Amin collaborated with Nazis (who was chased out of the Middle East by GB & Zionists in mid-1941) late in the game; not as Zionists who were FIRST to normalize trade and relations with Nazis nine years earlier!

   It is simple & stupid: saving Nazis' economy and shoring up their currency was contemplated to save Zionists; not Jews! As you shall see soon, it was Mr. Black himself who pointed out that Zionist enterprises were on the ropes, and they were on the verge of being liquidated just before Hitler became the chancellor in early 1933! Is it too hard to say the obvious: Zionists were motivated by their narrow self-interest? It should be noted that Ze'ev Jabotinsky and many other Jewish leaders were against Haavara. Therefore, this argument (that Zionists were forced or compelled) has no facts to back it up whatsoever!

5. NYTimes, as late as 1943, Zionist leaders were lobbying US Congress to block Jewish refugees' safe havens unless GB opened immigration into Palestine

   You would think Zionist leaders and organizations lobbied to open safe havens other than Palestine to persecuted European Jews!
   
   Nowhere in Zionist leaders' communications (either private or public) have they advocated for any safe havens except for Palestine. On the contrary, Zionists exploited and weaponized Jewish suffering to force Great Britain to rescind the White Paper of 1939 and to open Palestine for unfettered Jewish immigration. All Zionists' communication shows they didn’t relent for a moment on this demand even at the height of Nazi repression, inclusive of the Holocaust. This fixation on Palestine (as a solution for Europe’s Jewish refugee crisis) was pushed and advocated by all Zionist organizations and lobbying arms (in GB and US), especially between 1933 and 1945. Here are samples of Zionist leaders' communications during this period: BBC Fact File: Bermuda Conference, The Detroit Jewish Chronicle: April 23, 1943, Ariel Lekaditis in this Times of Israel blog, NY Times, Jan. 4th, 1983 & The Jewish Trail of Tears p. 147-150, Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants By Aviva Halamish p. 131-2, 135).

   Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

   Thus, Zionist leaders in practice made sure that Europe's Jews were left with two options: either they make aliyah to Palestine to join the yishuv, or go to Auschwitz; and lobbied feverishly like hell against any viable thirds alternative. As you digest this earlier information and you allow to it sink in for a minute, please keep in mind that this evil Zionist policy persisted even after the war ended in the DP camps. Zionists fought with tooth and nail against an resettlement scheme for Jews unless the destination was Palestine. Just in case you think our characterization is over the top, wait until reading it from ChatGPT (who framed the two options as: land or coffin), or reading it from Ben-Gurion himself when the Holocaust was in its infancy:

   At the Biltmore Conference in May 1942 Ben-Gurion said: “The meaning of these two ships [Patria and Struma -- both were sunk during WWII with Jewish refugees onboard] is simple: Eretz-Israel or death-- and as soon as the war ends, many ships like these will stream to Eretz Israel.” (Beit-Zvi, p. 259)
   
   [Two important points to keep in mind: A) When Ben-Gurion said this statement, he knew that Patria was sunk by the Haganah based on Moshe Sharett's orders in November 1940 (almost 16 months earlier ). That by itself was very telling. B) The mass majority of Europe's Jewry after WWII ended immigrated to the Americas and preferred to live with the Gentiles even after Palestine was emptied of its people.]

   What is chilling is that when you examine Zionist leaders' communications, you will find no reassessment of their policies even when it became clear that appeasing Hitler only ended up emboldening him, and Jewish suffering only increased! In layman's terms, Zionists in the 1930s and 40s often spoke of Jewish pain and suffering would become the LEVER that will end up creating their "Jewish state." Anyhow, here are a few of the quotes that will give you an idea about Zionist leaders' mindset at the time. David Ben-Gurion, expressed in December 1935 (yes, a few months after the Nuremberg Race Laws were enacted) to Jewish Agency Executives (JAE),

   that "we must give a Zionist response to the catastrophe faced by German Jewry -- to turn this disaster into an opportunity to develop our country, to save the lives and property of the Jews of Germany for the building of the land. This salvation comes before anything else" (NY Times, April 18th, 1993, Abraham Burg, p. 72 )

   Actually, around the same period too, Ben-Gurion made his infamous LEVER speech as well, here is how his official biographers Shabtai Teveth put it:
   Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens, how come you're not letting them in?

   Having successful turned such disasters as the Arab riots of 1929 and 1936 to advantage, he [referring to Ben-Gurion] became a grand master of this political skill, to the point that he considered himself ready to take on Hitler. Each disaster might have said, has its rewards for Zionism, and given that Hitler was the worst disaster until then, Ben-Gurion was determined to make it yield the greatest prize.
   
   The advantages Ben-Gurion had sought after publication of the Nuremberg Laws were a Jewish majority in Palestine into a place of refuge for the masses of Jews, who would in turn make Palestine a Jewish country....to get a million Jews out of [Poland and Germany] and direct them to Palestine...I regard this as the lever for our political activity." (The Burning Ground, p. 852)

   David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

   A month after the infamous Nazi pogrom against Germany's Jews (famously known as Kristallnacht), Ben-Gurion provided an interesting mathematical formula for saving German Jewish kids who immigrated to England instead of Palestine. He stated in December 1938 (a month after the pogrom):

   "If I knew it was possible to save all [Jewish] children of Germany by their transfer to England and only half of them by transferring them to Eretz-Yisrael, I would choose the latter----because we are faced not only with the accounting of these [Jewish] children but also with the historical accounting of the Jewish People." (Righteous Victims, p. 162 and The Burning Ground by Shabtai Teveth) Ben-Gurion was so concerned that the "human conscience" might bring various countries to open their doors to those persecuted German Jews [God forbid]. He saw this as a threat and warned: Zionism is in danger. (The Seventh Million p. 28 & NY Times, July 12th, 1987)

   JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

   Pay attention A) How Ben-Gurion used the word "save" before the Final Solution was in the picture, which confirms that Zionist leaders spoke of Shoah in the past tense before it happened. In Zionists' minds, the calamity is happening and nothing could stop it; therefore, it should be exploited. B) Hitler's infamous hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan. 30th, 1939, almost immediately followed Ben-Gurion's speech by two months; which leads us to believe that David was speaking to Hitler because he (referring to David) refused to retract his antisemitic hate speech although he was heavily criticized for it. Actually, it has been documented that he said something similar (if not worse) 10 days later. If you are interest, here is our complete analysis about this infamous speech!

   Here is a fun fact: Not even a thank you cable was sent to thank the British people for their quick response! Anyhow, you may think this was a slip of the tongue; it was spoken in the heat of the moment, and it didn't reflect how Zionist leaders thought at the time. No, that wasn't the case at all. Actually, David ended up doing the same thing but for children in the DP camps eight years later after WWII ended. If you care for more evidence, here are the boring details; we have researched this topic from so many angles. Does this explain why investigating Jewish organizations' passivity was nixed & de-funded in early 1983? (NYTimes, Jan. 4th, 1983)

   David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!

   If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, as Zionists assume, you would think they allocated any money to fund the Capitalist visas (P£1,000 per immigrant) program? Not only were ZERO pennies allocated, but they even refused to allocate any funds from Zionist enterprises (who were funded by Haavara for a decade) at the height of the calamity. You won't believe it until you read Wikipedia, quoting the head of the so-called United Rescue Committee (here is a saved image just in case it will be taken down). Pay attention to what Wikipedia wrote about his Kapo son, much of whom used to be Zionist activists (Dan Porat - 35-36, & see also the below section on Kastner's infamous train). It should be noted that much of JNF's funds came directly from Haavara, and nothing, as far as we know, was allocated to rescue Jews. Rescue funds (if any were ever used to save Jews) came from other sources (i.e., either from JDC, who represented wealthy Jews, or direct donations from Jews worldwide) and not from Zionists' enterprises, which were enriched tremendously because of the British war efforts in Palestine (profits tripled in 1944). Once you read how much Zionist leaders allocated (from what was collected, not from their resources) to rescue Europe's Jews at the height of the calamity, well, you might lose your mind. You've been warned; here are the boring details from a primary source.
   If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, as Zionists assume, you would think Ben-Gurion and Co. had welcomed Europe's persecuted Jews under any condition in Palestine! Well, you can not be further from the truth. The Jewish Agency refused to accept Jews under the status of refugees (The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman, p. 144-45). As you absorb the earlier facts, please remember that the Jewish Agency's response occurred when the last two millions were alive, and the vast majority of those poor souls perished in the last batch to Auschwitz!

   If Palestinian nationalism was created by KGB in the early 1960s, how come Palestinians' most prominent newspaper was named Palestine as early as 1911?

   If saving Jews consumed Zionists during WWII, would you think they did anything meaningful to fight Nazi and Fascist forces? What is tragically comical is that Zionist leaders made sure that their boys would see tiny itsy-bitsy of action(s) at war's end, and by far ten thousand times more Indians, Muslims & Arabs fought and died saving real lives compared with the impostering heroes of the so-called Yishuv. (The Seventh Million, p. 83-4, 86-89, JVL) Zionist leadership was keen that their boys wouldn't be wasted in any side meaningless battles (like the meat grinders on the Libyan, Tunisian & Italian fronts), and to save them against their real enemy: That Indigenous Arab (who doesn't exist) just a couple of years after WWII ended, Zionists deployed more than twenty times as much to fight their real enemy: Those "Evil Arabs" who now replaced Nazis & Fascist. On the other hand, those antisemitic Europeans (who murdered millions of Jews whose graves were still fresh) quickly got a free pass just a few years after the Shoah ended. No wonder every European nation eagerly voted for partition in late 1947, and of course, bygones became the bygones. Please don't take our word for it; here are the boring details from Zionist and Israeli sources.
   
   Finally, it is worth pointing out that Jewish Agency personnel were the only Jews to be granted entry visas into Germany after 1938, whose German offices continued to function as late as May of 1941 (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 276).
   
   God forbid, if you made it down here and you still have the time to read, here to is our exhaustive research on Zionists' fixation on Palestine and its ramifications on Europe's Jews.

6. German Jewry vehemently rejected Zionism as an enemy from within. Assimilated cosmopolitan Jews feared any assertion that they did not belong to Germany, any implication that Jewish loyalties were not to the Fatherland. The religious sector reacted with equal condemnation. Clinging to their communal existence and unwilling to return to the Promised Land until beckoned by the Messiah, religious German Jews saw Zionism as sacrilege. Edwin Black, p. 168

   How did German Jews perceive the Zionist movement?
   Did German Jewry consider Zionists as allies? or
   Did they consider them the enemy from within?
   
   You would think German Jews welcomed the Zionist movement with open arms. This can't be further from the truth:
   A) German Jewry was assimilationist, liberal, and socialist BUND who were non-Zionist at best. Actually, the majority detested Zionists as we shall prove soon,
   
   B) German Jewry were against the nation-state concept (Albert Einstein, Erich Fromm, and Hannah Arendt were great examples),

   JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

   C) Most importantly, since Zionist Jews were anti-assimilation Jewish nationalists who refused to integrate and preferred segregation with no mixed marriages, German Jews looked upon them as the enemy from within and who provided antisemites with ammunition against them (in other words, Zionists used to foment antisemitism, see The Transfer Agreement, p. 168). For example, the Jewish Agency was one of the first to congratulate Hitler on becoming the German chancellor & to assure him that they were against the anti-Nazi boycott; they even sent him a condolence cable when President Hindenburg died (The Seventh Million, p. 29 ). For the love of God, the head of the World Zionist Organization, Nahum Sokolow, praised Hitlerism, German Zionists promoted wearing the yellow badge nine years before the Final Solution, and Emil Ludwig (the renowned liberal author) expected Jews to build statues for Hitler in Palestine to show their appreciation. We hate to bore you with more examples, here is the complete list if you have the time to go through them! Anyhow, to learn more about Herzl's antisemitism and how that affected Zionists from the beginning, we urge you to read his Mauschel article; then, you will understand that Zionists' antisemitism was done by design, which continues unabated to this date. Weaponizing Jewish hate was and still is Zionists' golden goose. It keeps on giving; that is why Europe's Jews didn't want to be part of them,
   
   

   Los Angeles Herold: German Jews Are United Against Zionism. Jan. 28th, 1910
   D) The mass majority of German Jewry were also well-integrated, affluent, and wealthy (actually, they were the wealthiest Jews in Europe & their assets were valued at RM 10 to 12 billion, which was more than Mefo bills' total size as of mid-1938), and who were very proud of their German culture and heritage (The Transfer Agreement, p. 35, 168, 175-157, 255-6, Jewish Emigration from Germany 1933-1938 By Mark Wischnitzer, and the same pattern represented how the Hungarian and Slovakian Jewry felt about Zionism, see Ruth Landau, p. 7-8 ). As we shall prove in the next few paragraphs, German Jewry was so well integrated to a point that the community's size shrunk due to conversion since emancipation in 1871, and that by itself speaks volumes,
   
   E) Not for Hitler, those who emigrated would have never left and
   Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

   F) Those German Jews who immigrated to Palestine mostly refused to integrate and grudgingly spoke Hebrew, in contrast with those who immigrated to the Americas (The Seventh Million, ch. 2, p. 35-64), which increased Israeli resentment towards them. This point alone proves that even if they were Zionists, they were Zionist lite. It is worth noting that Tom Segev's mother spoke little Hebrew, and that was the norm!

   An election poster of the General Jewish Labour Bund hung in Kiev in 1917. The heading reads, "Where we live, there is our country!"

   To get an idea of how German Jewry felt towards Zionism, here is Edwin Black's description. Honestly, his assessment is in sync with all of our research, and since it comes from a Zionist that speaks volumes:

   "German Jewry vehemently rejected Zionism as an enemy from within [once you read our Kapo section, you will understand how German Jews' opinion of Zionists can't be closer to the truth]. Assimilated cosmopolitan Jews feared any assertion that they did not belong to Germany, any implication that Jewish loyalties were not to the Fatherland. The religious sector reacted with equal condemnation. Clinging to their communal existence, and unwilling to return to the Promised Land until beckoned by the Messiah, religious German Jews saw Zionism as sacrilege, So in 1897, when Herzl selected Munich as the site of the First Zionist Congress, Jewish leaders throughout Germany publicly protested until the convention was relocated to Basel. Anti-Zionism was one of the few Jewish topics Reform, Orthodox, cosmopolitan, and ghetto Jews could agree on. In the years after Basel, the movement earnestly tried to find acceptance among Germany's Jews. From 1905 to 1911, Zionism's world headquarters was seated in Cologne. But the overwhelming majority continued to revile it." (The Transfer Agreement, p. 168)

   Catastrophic Zionism at its worst, Zionists often spoke of the Holocaust decades before its time. What did Zionists do to confront it? Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade with the Nazis!

   To get an idea of how Europe's Jews felt during the pre-Nakba period, please also contemplate how Edwin Montagu (a Jewish member of the British cabinet) warned Lord Balfour of how Zionism foments antisemitism by default. Mr. Montagu even predicted that Zionists would incite antisemitism in places where antisemitism doesn't exist. Actually, our description of the Zionist impact on gentile societies does not come close to Mr. Montagu's articulation. We urge you to absorb it with an open mind:

   When the Jews are told that Palestine is their national home, every country will immediately desire to get rid of its Jewish citizens, and you will find a population in Palestine driving out its present inhabitants....
   
   But when the Jew has a national home, surely it follows that the impetus to deprive us of the rights of British citizenship must be enormously increased. Palestine will become the world’s Ghetto. Why should the Russian give the Jew equal rights? His national home is Palestine. Why does Lord Rothschild attach so much importance to the difference between British and foreign Jews? All Jews will be foreign Jews, inhabitants of the great country of Palestine.....

   Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

   I deny that Palestine is today associated with the Jews or properly to be regarded as a fit place for them to live in. The Ten Commandments were delivered to the Jews on Sinai. It is quite true that Palestine plays a large part in Jewish history, but so it does in modern Mahommendan history (August, 1917, The Balfour Project)
   
   [Honestly, we believe that it would be just a matter of time until Zionists in Israel would foment antisemitism against American Jewry (as they did for those in Europe). To their credit, American Jews sensed that they would be next on the chopping block soon after Nakba, and managed to muzzle Ben-Gurion in what became known as the Blaustein-Ben-Gurion Agreement. That said, it seems that accord was violated immediately after Oct. 7th Raid on many fronts, and American Jewry just went along. Mark our words, when Zionists (in the US & Israel) feel they are going through existential crisis; they are the most dangerous. Think about it: why change a winning formula? Didn't it work before? Hell yes. Really, when was antisemitism ever bad to Zionism? Never!
   
   Anyhow, the reader might find it interesting that the British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin (who was known to be a pro-Zionist) made the same exact argument made by Mr. Montagu but two decades later just before Nakba. Zionists (with help of the American press of course) ripped him apart and labeled him an antisemite! YES, telling the truth is )))antisemitic(((; mazeltov. Stick to propagating lies; that is much safer and good for the shareholders!

   
   Zionists defied German Jewish leaders who demanded that Jews should not raise fascists' (Zionists & Nazis) flags
   Only 3,000 of the 550,000 German Jews were halutzim (dedicated Zionists) who had recently immigrated to Germany from Eastern Europe for work or to escape persecution. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 311-2, 177) Sadly, in Palestine, often German Jews were looked down upon, and derogatory words were concocted to describe them (i.e., Yekke), and their businesses often were boycotted and vandalized. It should be noted that most of Europe's Jews before WWII were very similar to German Jews; therefore, German Jewry was no aberration. Ironically, we found that the German and Austrian Jewish communities' sizes kept shrinking because of conversion to Christianity (Madam Albright's parents were one of those). If you think about it logically, that explains why over 150,000 ended up serving in Hitler's army. That said, after WWII, BUND was completely decimated; that is how Zionists have dominated Jewish politics by default ever since. (Abraham Burg, p. 37)

   For all the above reasons, Theodore Herzl (the founder of Zionism) was forced to relocate the first World Zionist Conference from Hamburg to Basle (Vienna); Herzl faced stiff resistance. For example, a report by the Keren Hayesod (a.k.a. JNF) submitted to the twenty-fourth session of the ZVfD (Zionist Federation of Germany) in July 1932 said:
   

   "In the course of evaluating the Keren Hayesod work in Germany, it should never be forgotten that we in Germany have to reckon not only with the indifference of extensive Jewish circles but also with their hostility."(The Secret Contacts: Zionism & Nazi Germany 1933-41 By Klaus Polkehn, p. 56)

   
   Ben-Gurion’s nightmare was to build the Jewish state, and European Jews won’t immigrate. That’s exactly what happened after Nakba. That is why he airlifted Arab Jews directly from their countries.
   It should be noted that even at the height of Nazi persecution before WWII, the mass majority of Europe’s Jews still chose to immigrate to Great Britain and the Americas, but not to British Mandated Palestine. Almost half of them left in 18 months between 1938-39 (over 250k left, the mass majority weren't saved via Haavara -- Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35, and also see how analysis sourced Yad Vashem). It is stunning that this phenomenon persisted even after Nakba, although most European Jews now identify with "Zionism"! That was the primary reason why Ben-Gurion airlifted Arab Jews to populate the emptied country soon after the war of Nakba; which was David's nightmare: Zionists built it, but Europe's Jews didn't come! (The Seventh Million, p. 113)
   David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

   What was tragically funny was that the last big wave of immigration to Israel happened for "Jews" from the former Soviet Republics who were forced to go to Israel first. Soon after their arrival to Israel, it was "discovered" that over 70% of them weren’t Jews, and they immigrated for economic reasons, whose plan was to immigrate to Europe or the Americas eventually! Pre-1990s, Jews from the USSR who emigrated were given the choice to immigrate to either the US or Canada, besides Israel. Of course, they rarely chose Israel (historically, that was the case even for those impoverished in the DP camps after WWII ended). On the other hand, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the immigration route to the West was intentionally blocked (between 1992-94, afterward it was blocked -- thanks to the Zionist lobby), and later on, if they wished to emigrate out of Israel, they had to apply like everyone else! Guess what, many do it although Israel has the highest income per capita in the whole Middle East!

   
   Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

   It should be emphasized that although German Jews who immigrated to Palestine were a fraction of the overall number (in Palestine & Germany), they founded the economic, entrepreneurial & artistic backbone of the "Jewish state" 15 years before its time. German Jews' contributions reached all sectors of the economy, i.e., banking, construction, industrial, textile, power generation, agricultural development, ...etc. (The Secret Contacts: Zionism & Nazi Germany 1933-41 By Klaus Polkehn, p. 67)

   To get an idea of how German Jews were assimilated, we urge you to listen to this BBC podcast (in two parts) to recognize how they resisted leaving their ancestral homeland to the bitter end; it is heart-wrenching. Here is a short clip (taken from a History Channel documentary) that articulated our earlier point spoken by Mr. Schwernsenz (a German Zionist Jew who immigrated to Palestine sometime before WWII):
   

   Just in case this was something of the past, please think twice. Here are a few of video of American Jews clearly making the case that Zionism and Israel are making them unsafe more than ever. Zionism by design foments antisemitism where it doesn't exist.

7. You would not think when Zionists became distribution agents for Nazi products all over the Middle East and North Africa; they bothered themselves to secure safe havens for Jewish refugees when Zionists exceeded their immigration quota in Palestine? (The Transfer Agreement, p. 373-4 and NYTimes, Jan. 4, 1983)
   
   
   London's Daily Express: Jews Boycott Nazis, March-1938
   What is stunning, the Jewish Agency suggested a similar scheme during the Evian Conference in July 1938, but with worldwide marketing of Nazi goods; of course, Jewish Agency resisted opening any safe havens other than Palestine!

8. You would think the actual text of the agreement would not restrict funds' availability in certain destinations? The exact opposite was enshrined in the agreement's text:
   

   "Consent for the utilization of the credit cannot be given for any other purposes than for use in Palestine" (51 Documents, p. 49, The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 98)

9. Click to enlarge: How German Jews' assets were divided. Note that shares in communal collectives aren't redeemable as if they are shares in a normal corporation! Even cash isn't available all at once!
   How German Jews' assets were divvied between Nazis & Zionists? How much cash was left?
   
   Zionists taxed German Jews to the bare bones at a rate of 61+% of their assets. On the other hand, this doesn't imply that 39% of the assets were available in cash; of course not. What is tragically funny is that 80% of these funds were invested as bonds into Zionists' communal (communist-like) enterprises such as JNF (40% of the 80%), Histadrut, Kupat Holim, Mekoroth, Lodzia, Haganah, Rassco, Tnuva, & other Zionist communal (Gesellschaft) enterprises. And the 20% (of the 39%, about 11% of the original assets' value) can't be accessed for two years (see Baruch Vladeck, editor of Forward, Jan. 1936 cited in 51 Documents, p. 92-3). What is stunning is that Edwin Black seems to imply that access to cash was even much more limited than what Vladeck described! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 379)
   
   It is strongly suspected that Haavara may have included funds from those who didn't even immigrate to Palestine, Edwin Black alluded to something like that on page 249. Later, we shall prove how most of Haavara funds were sourced from this type of funds (blocked account II)
   Also, Edwin Black stated that 71,000 donations to help Jews in Germany worldwide (almost a million dollars worth) were diverted to Haavara accounts! (p. 377)
   
   Let's Do The Math: How Many German Jews Were Actually "Saved" Due To The Haavara Agreement?
   Abraham Edelheit provided an interesting statistic. Since Germany normally subsidized its exports by 25-40% (which wasn't available to Haavara-based trades), the prices were reduced by Haavara to make German goods competitive. However, the difference was paid by the poor German Jew and not from Zionist profits. Anyhow, here is Abraham's finding: "According to an undated report of either 1936 or 1937, Haavara transferred a total of RM33,800,000 (P£2,704,000) out of RM48,000,000 (P£3,840,000) invested in Germany" (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 110). This implies that German Flight Tax + export subsidize totaled 29%. This was a deal few Aryans got!
   How Jaffa's Orange was utilized in this deal is still a mystery!
   Was Jaffa Orange used as the seed money, which got the ball rolling? (The Transfer Agreement, p. 319-20, NYTimes, Aug 29, 1933)
   Since German Jews who were immigrated as Capitalists made up 40% of all Capitalists, it would be interesting to find out how the Jewish Agency taxed the other 60%?
   
   As you examine Haavara in greater detail, it will become evident how Zionists looked upon German Jews as the cash cow to be milked!

10. Divided Economy of Mandatory Palestine, p. 213: Zionists Manufacturing output almost tripled during 1st five years of Haavara's life

    What was the financial situation of the Jewish Agency just before Haavara was signed?
    
    It can't be emphasized more how acute the financial situation was for the Jewish Agency and its communal enterprises even before the Great Depression; please contemplate Edwin Black's chilling assessment of the Jewish Agency's situation in the early 1930s when Hitler rose to power. Pay attention to how 3/4th of Jewish Agency's 1933 budget was in deficit and all fundraising plus settlement activities were halted during the great depression:

    [The Great] Depression agonies had already halted most international Zionist contributions. Many regular fund-raising drives were suspended indefinitely awaiting some improvement in the world economy. Jewish Agency treasurer Eliezer Kaplan summarized the situation: "In 1933, contributions to the Palestine Foundation Fund [the funding arm of the Jewish Agency] have reached an all-time low of P£160,000 [about $800,000]. Its [recent] deficit was over P£500,000 [$2.5 million, this implies that the total yearly budget was at least P£660,000]. Settlement projects of the Agency Executive were discontinued in 1928. The sole task of the Executive Committee in recent years has been: how to maintain the status quo and prevent bankruptcy." If the Jewish Agency's financial picture did not improve, the question was not if the Zionist Organization would go bankrupt, but when.(The Transfer Agreement, p. 90)

    Let's Do The Math: How Many German Jews Were Actually "Saved" Due To The Haavara Agreement?

    We have not seen the Jewish Agency's budgets and JNF's land purchases between 1927 and 1932, but it is assumed to be as bad, if not worse. To paint a picture of Zionists' enterprise during this period, here are a few examples that give an idea of how delicate the situation was during the great depression:
    A) Here is a JTA report in Aug 7th, 1929 which painted a bleak picture of Zionist high unemployment figures, how several enterprises came close to bankruptcy, how American Jewry withheld funding, and how colonization almost crawled to a halt. This report confirms what Mr. Black have reported earlier.
    B) Membership in the World Zionist Organization dropped by more than 3/4th of it 1918 level (which must have impacted fundraising by as much).
    C) Here is a March 2nd, 1932 JTA article showing how the Jewish Agency had to cut its budget and staff by almost two-thirds (all of that changed less than a year later when Nazis rose to power), and
    D) Here's report how Keren Hayesod had scrambled for big loan from Lloyd's of London by the end of 1933 which accounted for half of its assets (How to build a count? by Adam Hefetz, p. 313-316).

    E) Here is a JTA report on Sept. 3rd 1933 showing how half the teachers were laid off.
    F) Lenni Brenner did an excellent job of tracking what Chaim Arlosoroff (the Political Director of the Jewish Agency who negotiated the Haavara Agreements with the Nazis) and Menachem Ussishkin (the head of JNF) wrote about the dire situation between 1932 and 33; Mr. Arlosoroff portrayed the financial and immigration situation of the yishuv as if it was a life or death situation. As it will be proven soon, Zionists' dire financial situation during the great depression drove many Jews to leaving Palestine, and that confirmed Mr. Arlosoroff's worries. In total, the yishuv had a net gain of less that 8,000 between 1927 and 1931.
    G) The Jewish Agency's dire financial situation in late 1929 drove its leadership to expand its Executive governing body (JAE) to include non-Zionists. Many of them openly advocated non-Zionist policies of settling Jews in countries other than Palestine (see, for example, JDC's Felix M. Warburg). For those who know anything about Zionist politics, such a policy was (and still is) a hard pill to swallow. Please note that the Warburg banking family of Hamburg was instrumental in architecting the Haavara Agreement from day one.
    H) The British canceled the debt of P£70,000 for Tel-Aviv municipality.
    I) For completeness, here is a one-page summary of what Google AI generated about the Jewish Agency's financial situation during the great depression.
    
    
    "Report On The State of Palestine" issued on Match 28th, 1921 by the Third Palestine Arab Congress to Winston Churchill
    As you contemplate the earlier facts, please keep in mind that much of the Zionists' funding came from the US and Poland, and much of that dried up even before the great depression (as Mr. Segev pointed it out in the next few paragraphs). Assuming that was the case, then it would be hard not to conclude that it was Hitler who bailed out Zionism in the nick of time, and if it were not for him, the banks would've foreclosed on Zionists' assets. In this regard, it is worth contemplating what the former speaker of Knesset (Abraham Burg) has concluded on this matter:

    "It turns out that before the Nazis started to slaughter Europe’s Jews, they enabled us to build the foundations of our state-to-be" (Abraham Burg p, 73-4) ]

    Here is Tom Segev’s take on the conditions in Palestine pre-Haavara; pay attention to the ending:

    Chaim Shalom Halevi had discerned signs of an incipient economic crisis within a few days of his arrival, which was why he had urged his parents to hurry while they could still obtain immigration permits. From another point of view, he saw the crisis as an advantage: the rent rooms was going down. Like the intoxicating illusion of plenty, the despairing shock of the economic depression belongs largely to the history of Tel-Aviv: at its peak, one out of two unemployed people in the country lived in the city; the Jewish unemployment rate rose to over 17 percent. Halevi explained to his parents how this had happened: “The fourth aliya put up buildings on the sand and it is known that sand is a shaky foundation. Not long after this letter, the Casino went bankrupt. It was demolished and disappeared among the dunes.
    
    In 1925, 64 percent of all investment was in construction. Investors put up rent housing on the assumption that immigrants would continue to come. Apart from direct employment, the building industry also supported a large circle of factories and businesses. The construction boom depended on an inflow of overseas capital; foreign investors transferred: their money to the local office of the Zionist Organization or to their local bank, which was then transferred to banks in Palestine. Contractors often worked on credit, using capital that was on the way as collateral.
    
    

    
    NYTimes: Aug 29, 1933: Germans Tell of Agreement for Barter of Their Products, not only Palestinian oranges but with Syria's oranges too!

    In 1926, the Polish economy went into recession and the Polish currency was devalued. Many people in Palestine were saddled with debts they could not pay and were forced to stop building. As construction companies and associated industries collapsed one after another, jobs disappeared. The British administration expanded public works unwillingly and to a limited extent; its inclination was not to intervene. Neither the Histadrut labor union nor the Zionist movement was prepared to handle such a profound crisis.
    
    A sense of despair spread throughout the country. Many left. In 1926, the number of emigrants was close to half the total of immigrants; in 1927, emigration exceeded immigration, and in 1928 the two figures were equal. Overall, during these three years, fifteen thousand Jews left Palestine.
    
    But the crisis didn’t last long and left no permanent scars. The citrus industry soon began to take off.(One Palestine Complete, p. 261)
    
    [Note how Mr. Segev doesn’t tell us when the economy recovered & why citrus exports boomed? Is it possible that the recovery occurred because of Haavara, and it was the Nazis who imported Palestinian & Syrian citrus? Again, 3/4th of the JA's budget was in retreat as of 1933, just before Haavara was signed!]

    Please also note the Palestinian resistance to Zionist colonization in the 1920s and early 1930s heavily impacted the Jewish Agency's financing. Palestinians not only boycotted but also burned many Zionist colonial enterprises, which automatically increased the cost of security and repairs. All this, once combined with the start of the great depression, Jewish immigration to Palestine was only a net gain of 7,829 Jewish immigrants between 1927 and 1931 (the great depression years); so many were leaving. For example, at minimum, 11,330 Jews emigrated out of Palestine between 1927 and 1931, while 19,159 immigrated to Palestine, see Statistical Abstract of Palestine for 1943 p. 12 & 21, One Palestine Complete, p. 261 & JA's submission to Evian Conference. It is worth noting that Ben-Gurion, in 1947, seemed to agree with the official figures (see The Jewish Plan For Palestine by the Jewish Jewish Agency, p. 53).
    
    All these reasons, combined with a shortage of manpower (Zionists were around 174,000 in early 1932; see The Transfer Agreement, p. 90, JA's memorandum at Evian), explains why Zionist leadership was eager to risk it all with Hitler and other fascist dictators; as if Zionist leadership felt that the noose was hanging around their necks! Based on these facts, it seems that it was the case: Zionists felt an existential threat was lurking just around the corner, and something had to be done! Once you examine the total size of Haavara in dollars amount, then you will understand how Hitler single-handedly bailed out the Jewish Agency at a moment of crisis; here are the boring details. To give you a little hint, Haavara, at minimum, funneled in the Jewish Agency's drained coffers 35 times its annual budget within seven years of operations.
    
    

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?
    Let's assume, as often Zionists do, that there were other reasons for signing the Haavara Agreement (such as "saving lives"), and Zionists' dire financial situation played no factor in the decision-making process at the time, then why Zionists were willing to risk their reputation and much of their political capital especially when those who immigrated to Palestine (from Germany) could have easily done so with or without Haavara? (see how Yed Vashem's most senior Holocaust historian, Yehuda Baur, characterized it in Jews For Sale?, p. 17) It is a fact that many of those who gained entry to Palestine could have done so easily based on their monies or based on the Labor Certificate visas (which were British grants to begin with). Actually, based on our calculations, 60% of those who gained Capitalists Immigration Certificates were not even Germans. What was tragically funny was that Zionist leaders scrambled to stabilize the Reichsmark (the German currency) when it was under stress in July 1933. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Zionists were running like a chicken with its head off trying to stabilize Hitler's economy a month before Haavara was signed; Mazeltov. Jews; please give yourselves a big hand.
    
    As you contemplate the earlier facts and arguments, please keep in mind it was Adolf Hitler was willing to ship German and Austrian Jews anywhere, even on luxury liners, until late 1941. Can we honestly say the same thing about Zionists' policies (during the 1930s and 40s) had similar intentions of saving lives? Then, you be the judge.
    
    Finally, we want to convey how the Zionist leadership felt during this period so you can get a better picture. In 1938, and during the Great Revolt between 1936-39, Ben-Gurion summarized the situation yishuv was facing as a life or death. Honestly, it seems David was spot on in this analysis; he stated in 1938:

    "Almost every [Palestinian] Arab" opposed Zionism, "because he is an Arab, because he is a Muslim, because he dislikes foreigners, and because we are hateful to him in every way." The conflict had lasted thirty years, and was liable "to continue for perhaps hundreds more." This was a "real war, a war of life or death."(Shabtai Teveth, p. 184)

    Now, do you understand why Palestinians and Arabs, in general, HATE Zionists?
    Is it possible that is the case because of Zionists' hate for Arabs, as Ben-Gurion professed it to be?
    If that is what Palestinians and Arabs felt during the pre-Nakba period, how do you think they feel now! Assuming that Palestinians exist, of course!
    
    

    Back To Haavara FAQs
11. What was the size of this financial instrument? How critical was it for the creation of the "Jewish state"?
    
    
    Let's Do The Math: How Many German Jews Were Actually "Saved" Due To The Haavara Agreement?

    Most historians who researched Haavara reported a total sum of RM140 million Reichsmarks (or P£8.1 million, an average of RM 17.28 per each P£ & each P£ was worth $5 between 1933-39) were transacted in 8-9 years of operation. However, we strongly suspect this was only a fraction of the total size, and here are the significant discrepancies we have found:
    
    A) Although Edwin Black reported RM105 million instead of the official number of RM140 million, he alluded that there was another $70 million (about RM210 Million) that "flowed into Palestine via corollary German commercial agreements and special international banking transactions" (The Transfer Agreement, p. 379). We have no idea what that means, how he arrived at these numbers, or where! Note how Mr. Black never cited his sources, although he is well-known for citing his sources. It should be noted that Mr. Black's work is often cited, especially concerning the total number of German Jewish immigrants of 60,0000, which we found it to be inflated by almost 30%. That said, let us assume the worst-case situation and that Edwin's numbers were accurate, which implies that the total is over double (RM315 million = P£18.2 million) the official amount of P£8.1 million. These discrepancies were the first major red flags.

    JA's memorandum at Evian Table showing the influx of capital into the Anglo-Palestine Bank between 1932 and 1937

    B) When we examined the Jewish Agency's primary sources for 1933, 3,473 Capitalists (dependants were omitted) immigrated to Palestine in 1933. Half of those came from Germany; on average, they brought more than double the minimum required amount of P£1,000. They brought no less than P£7 million, thus it is safe to assume that most of those were wealthy German Jews (Jewish Agency's Submission, p. 6). This 1933 figure alone (which represented 15% of German Capitalist immigrants who numbered less than 10,000 without dependants) accounts for over 37% of the official total figure of P£8.1 million, which leads us to believe that the Sonderkonto II accounts were awash with cash. This was a major red flag.

    C) As we were reviewing the Jewish Agency's memorandum (submitted at the Evian Conference in July of 1938), JA cited that P£38 million (or $190M) were deposited into Anglo-Palestine Bank's private accounts within five years (1933-37). Since we know that most Eastern European Jewish immigrants were penniless (and relied on Zionist institutions for support), we can safely conclude these were transacted via Haavara based on German Jews' transferred assets. This is already more than twice the upper bound reported by Mr. Black earlier. Note that these P£38 million: i) were deposited into a single bank; there could have been multiple banks, too! ii) this number pertains to years between 1933-37 (all inclusive), but we don't know how much was transacted between 1938-41 iii) most importantly, this doesn't account for institutional monies, P£38 million (or $190M) pertains to private funds only! It is as if the official number we know is only the tip of the iceberg!
    
    D) As of March 1938, RM83 million had been transferred (Halamish, p. 136), which implies that RM57 million had been transferred within 18 to 19 months! It is fishy that 40% (57/140) of the total fund was transacted in a very short time window!

    Haavara funneled into Zionists' enterprises drained coffers more than the total amount of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939

    E) We were stunned to read in Avraham Barkai's From Boycott To Annihilation (on page 103) citing a Central Zionist Archives document (CZA p. 25/9810) that reported RM250 million were in blocked accounts (I & II) waiting to be cleared, and in August of 1938 that it was RM84 Million! These are massive numbers reflecting only the tip of the iceberg! Of course, we are aware of the taxes & subsidies that had to be paid to German exporters, but still, these two numbers alone give us a snapshot of what has been cleared already that dwarfs the official numbers.

    F) Jan C. Horak (p. 52 & 57) cited that six million pounds sterling was transferred as of December 1935. Since the Palestinian Pound was at par with the sterling, 75% of the official number (P£8.1 Million) was transferred within the first two years of the agreement. This sounds very fishy. As we shall see, much more was transacted in the following years.
    
    G) Abraham Edelheit reported that P£500,000 were transferred with no flight tax via a similar Haavara agreement with Latvia; a similar number was reported for Czech, too (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 110). These numbers are huge to come from several small countries within two years of operation. In total, both countries transferred 1/8th of what we officially know as Haavara, which cumulatively transferred out of Germany within seven years (P£8.1 Million)! These transfers raise similar red flags that Haavara's total number is suspect, as if what we know is only a fraction of the total size! Other implementations of Haavara are still in an information black hole; we hope others will shed more light on them.

    Zionists Marketing Nazi good in Palestine in the 1930s

    H) Areih Tartakower & Kurt Grossmann reported on pages 386-387 that those who immigrated via the Capitalists visa program brought P£6,750 million between 1937-41. We must assume this was an error; the number should have been P£6.75 million (one-hundredth of what was reported). Assuming this figure is acceptable, P£1.35 million were transacted between 1933-36. Please pay attention to how the authors reported a figure of P£30 million on p. 387, but they didn't report how it entered Palestine without going through Haavara. These discrepancies were another major red flag.

    I) Since the German Jews who immigrated using their transferred assets were close to 10,000 (dependants were excluded, here are our detailed calculations, see also Tom Segev, p. 22, Edwin Black p. 379, Jews For Sale?, p. 17 & 35, Statistical Abstract of Palestine for 1937 on p. 36 and 1943 on p. 17 plus Avraham Barkai), then that implies a total of at least P£10 million were transferred (since each immigrant was required to bring at least P£1,000), and that is 125% larger than the original figure of P£8.1! Remember that the German Jewish immigrant was left with as little cash as possible upon his or her arrival to Palestine (Edwin Black p. 379), often, those Capitalist immigrants transferred much larger amounts than the minimum required by the British Mandate, and we haven't yet factored in institutional transfers plus Sonderkonto II accounts. These discrepancies were another major red flag.

    J) Pension transfers were another part of Haavara that we know very little about. Pension transfers were prioritized over other types; see this December 9th, 1934 JTA article for the details.

    All these significant discrepancies led us to conclude that the official number is only a fraction of the actual figure. At a minimum, what Mr. Black reported (RM315 million = P£18.2 million, about $105 million) is the least we should accept until more exhaustive research is done. Therefore, the official number reported (RM140 million) must be called into question (pay attention to how Wikipedia's editors have been propagating this lie, although their math doesn't add up).
    
    Anyhow, let's now put things into perspective to give you an idea of how massive Haavara was:

    INTRIA: Haavara-Mark wire transfer (more like PayPal nowadays) from NYC to Germany, 1938

    $105 million (RM315 million) was 35 times the 1929 or 1933 Jewish Agency's budget of $3 million!
    Haavara funneled into the Jewish Agency's drained coffers (3/4 of JA's budget was in deficit between 1930 and 33) in 7-8 years as much as 150% of the German-Soviet treaty (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) of 1939 (RM 200 million), and 75% of the expanded 1940 (RM420 million) version! Therefore, it is safe to assume that Hitler was the one who bailed out the so-called yishuv at a moment of crisis.
    Let's compare Haavara's total income to the Government of Palestine's budget, revenues, and expenditures between 1922 and 1945. Pay attention to statistics between 1930 and 1940; you'll see how Haavara's transfers were comparable to the Palestine Government's revenues and expenditures in the 1930s. Again, remember that at the time, every P£ was worth about 5 US dollars, and the Palestinian Pound (P£) was at parity with the British Pound (the Sterling).
    It should be emphasized that this massive amount was injected into an economy A) that had a much lower standard of living compared with Germany, B) suffered from deflation (note how Palestine's price index was down by 40% by the mid-1930s), and C) most importantly this amount was used to finance a minor non-state actor (Jews in Palestine were under 174,000 as of 1931-2) that was on the verge of going bankrupt!
    
    It should be noted that much of Haavara's transactions are still hidden; we are told much of the data is locked, and most are in Hebrew and German. Therefore, we suspect that we have barely scratched the surface. For example,
    
     How many institutional transfers were handled via Haavara?
    Which Zionists' communal enterprise benefited and how?
    The same goes for the money transfer functionality in Haavara; how much of the overall transactions went through Haavara?
    

    The Economic Bulletin Of The Anti-Nazi-League, Sept. 1934 Report
    How were Haavara funds traded as securities? What was the size of the trades? Who cleared the trades and where (i.e., were London & N.Y. City included)? Their records should be examined.
    Was Haavara ever used to sell Nazi goods WITHOUT using German Jews' money as collateral (i.e. in blocked accounts)? Was Haavara allowed to operate as a free agent dealer to promote Germany's economy irrespective of the collateral or financing?
    What was the size of Haavara-related trades in the Middle East and North Africa?
    Did Zionists sell Nazi goods in Eastern/Central Europe, Asia, and the Americas besides MENA? Ports' logs should be examined if available.
     How much, on average, did Haavara pay to subsidize German exports (i.e., make German exports competitive)? Where were they traded?
    Did Nazis ever use Haavara's money transfer utility as a payment system around the world to settle trades?
    Since the German Jews who were immigrated to Palestine as Capitalists made up 40% of all Capitalists, it would be interesting to find out how the Jewish Agency taxed the other 60%?

    How did German Jews, who visited Palestine as travelers, used Haavara to pay for their expenses?
    How Haavara-Marks were being traded and under what rules inside and outside of Germany? See this relevant JTA report on Dec. 19th, 1937.
    What was imported via Haavara, and to whom?
    How many Arabs have used it? Who? Which banks cleared the trades? Banks' logs should be examined and cross-checked with what Haavara's management disclosed.
    Did Haavara ever pay taxes on its transactions? Or did the British exempt Haavara from paying taxes?
    Before the US entered WWII in late 1941, was Haavara ever used to pay anti-war activists, Christian evangelical clergies, Nazi spies, or US politicians in the US on behalf of Hitler?
    Was Haavara money ever used to finance lobbying activities in the US? Did the US Government know of these lobbying activities on behalf of a foreign non-state agent, especially during WWII?
    Breakdown of what was imported by sectors?
    To what extent Zionists' owned ships played a role in delivering Nazi goods to markets & to where? What was the size of the Zionists' fleet? As of 1935, we know of ten. How many of those ships hoisted the Swastika as the SS Tel Aviv and the Atid steamers?

    Was Haavara ever used to pay ransom money during the war? Was Haavara ever used to pay ransom money during the war? Did the Zionist leadership ever refuse to use Haavara for paying ransom?
    As of March 1938, RM83 million had been transferred (Halamish, p. 136). This implies that RM57 million had been transferred within 18 months. What accounted for that?
    Finally, it will be nice to have access to Jewish Agency & other Jewish Groups' annual budgets, income, and expenditures per year between 1920-48. The same goes for Zionists' enterprises, inclusive of JNF and Histadrut.

12. Detailed reports building activities in the major cities in Palestine during the 1930s broken up by city, month, year and by community. Note the remarkable jump during Haavara's seven years of life compared to before
    To give the reader another idea about the influx of funds and equipment that entered Palestine because of Haavara, here's a table from Survey of Palestine showing how industrial equipment & investment jumped by 400% between 1933-39, much of which was because Haavara! It should be noted that Haavara funds were used to finance building over 60% of the Jewish colonies in Palestine in the 1930s & early 1940s (The Transfer Agreement, p. 379).
    
    On the same point, it should be noted that Leumi Bank (formerly Anglo-Palestine Bank) was a very small bank before Haavara. However, after it got exclusive rights to handle Haavara transactions, it was transformed overnight into one of the top hundred banks worldwide. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 226) Note also that this Bank's British license operated with fractional reserve banking systems that allow credit creation multiple times of total deposits, which was re-invested into Zionists' communal enterprises (JNF, Histadrut, Kupat Holim, Mekoroth, Lodzia, Haganah, Rassco, Tnuva, ...etc.) when this scheme is coupled with locking the capital within Zionist enterprises, plus restricting cash withdrawals & restricting shared stock redemption (in Zionist enterprises), that resulted in an ingenious financial system that is resilient and self-reinforcing, which leaks out as little capital as possible.
    
    For greater detail on how this instrument was set up, we urge you to pay attention to chapter 27 in The Transfer Agreement (p. 253 - 260), especially how the German Jews' blocked accounts were used as collateral to issue & trade "development bonds" at a trading house that later evolved to become Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange!
13. Nesher cement factory-Haifa may have been a recipient of Haavara-related funds since it had a monopoly on cement
    As soon as Haavara was signed in 1933, Zionists immediately started to import from Nazi Germany: cement factories, steelworks, breweries, bakeries, printing presses & medical facilities, plus the technical know-how to operate them. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 353) According to this research and this Ha'aetz article, over 4,000 buildings in the White City (Tel Aviv) were built from materials imported from Nazi Germany! We suspect something similar happened in Haifa since it was and still is a "Yekkes" city, and we suspect it happened in Jaffa, too. Just in case your interested in boring details, here are detailed reports about the building activities in Palestine between 1931 and 1939; note the remarkable jump in construction during Haavara's seven years of life compared to before
    
    -Is it possible that Haavara may have also included receiving Nazi weapons & military training? It should be noted that the Nazis allowed Zionists to set up tens of vocational training camps, which persisted to the early 1940s!
    -Is it possible that Haavara may have also included intelligence gathering on anti-fascist & pro-boycott Jews (i.e., BUND), USSR, Poland, oil resources in the Middle East & North Africa, & Great Britain? (Zionism and Anti-Antisemitism in Nazi Germany, p. 123-126)
    
    Why are those far-fetched ideas? Already, Zionists were dealing with & enabling the devil. Therefore, why not go all the way for an advantage? After all, they could Hasbarah (gaslight) their actions with: we had to do all we could to "save" lives!

14. 
    Exhibited here is a dramatic printed proclamation in support of the Haavara Agreement: Pro-Haavara Proclamation. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRANSFER! The Transfer opens the gates of the land [of Israel] to the Jews of Germany, who see aliyah to the land as the only and final hope for rescue. Jew! Do you wish to abandon German Jewry and leave it to its bitter fate with no chance of escape?
    How did Zionist leaders respond to Jewish anti-Nazi boycott & protests?
    
    You would not think Zionists banned protesting against fascist policies in Europe?
    You wouldn’t think Zionists accused them of aiding Hitler?
    God forbid, you wouldn’t think David Ben-Gurion accused them of treason?
    
    Not only Zionist leaders banned protesting Nazi policies besides normalizing trade and relations with Hitler during early 1933 (The Transfer Agreement, p. 339), but actually, they weaponized Hitler against them & portrayed them as fools who were working against Jews! To prove our point, we are compelled to directly quote Tom Segev to give you an idea of how Ben-Gurion debated those who dared to challenge Haavara after the Nuremberg Race Laws were enacted in 1935:

    In Palestine too, the debate continued. "What's happened to you?" Ben-Gurion exploded when the Haavara was challenged at a meeting of the Vaad Leumi (National Council) in 1935: "Have you lost your minds?" What had happened to Judaism, he wondered, always so pragmatic and commonsensical? Did the members want to assist Hitler? Years later, this same style, sometimes the very same words, shaped the debate over the reparations agreement between West Germany and Israel [after Nakba]. In his impassioned speech, Ben-Gurion called for the rescue of German "a tribe of Israel," and their transfer to Palestine, rather than action against Hitler. "l do not believe that we can oust him and I am not interested in anything other than saving these 500,000 Jews," he said. Ben-Gurion saw the debate between rescue and boycott as a debate between Zionism and assimilation, between the nationalist interests of Jewish settlement in Palestine and the international war against anti-Semitism.
    [ .... ]
    According to Ben-Gurion, there was within every Jew both a Zionist and an assimilationist. The struggle between the two, he said, was the "most urgent moral national issue" facing Jewry at that particular moment. “The assimilationists have always declared war on anti-Semitism," he said, Now this is expressed in a "boycott" against Hitler. Zionism has always [advocated] the Jewish people's Independence in its homeland. Now some Zionists have joined the chorus of the assimilationists: a "war" against anti-Semitism. But we must give a Zionist response to the catastrophe faced by German Jewry--to turn this disaster into an opportunity to develop out country, to save the lives and property of the Jews of Germany for the sake of Zion. This rescue takes priority over all else.
    
    To concentrate now on a boycott, he concluded, would be a "moral failure" of unprecedented proportions (The Seventh Million, p. 26-7)

    Anti-Nazi Demonstration in Detroit, March 13, 1938. If this happened in Palestine, D. Ben-Gurion would have arrested them! Are you surprised?
    Similarly, the Jewish Agency dared to accuse its critics of exactly what it was doing for 7-8 years! The following was released in response to Revisionists who were promoting anti-Nazi boycott:

    The Jewish Agency responded with large, unsigned placards [dated Dec. 6th, 1935] calling for "political maturity" and charging that the Revisionists were exploiting the tragedy of German Jewry: "Jews" cried the Jewish Agency broadside: Do you want to help them sacrifice German Jewry? Do you want to aid the extermination of German Jewry? This was the first time in the nation's history, the placard stated, that the yishuv was being given chance "the entire persecuted tribe" (The Seventh Million, p. 33-34)

    It should be noted that there were no aberrations or slips of the tongue; these were policies executed during the 1930s.
    Finally, we like the reader to ponder this question: How did you think Zionist leaders reacted when other Jewish groups attempted to replicate Haavara?

15. When was Haavara stopped and by whom?
    
    
    A Haavara documented for a transaction that happened during WWII in June 1940
    It seems that the trading portion of Haavara was stopped in late 1939 by the British soon after the Nazi occupation of Poland (Francis Nicosia reported December of 1939, see Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany p. 265). On the other hand, the money-transfer portion of Haavara kept functioning after the war was declared (Adam Hofri, p. 104-5), and both Tom Segev and Avraham Barkai reported an end date of December 1941 (see Intria Ltd., London). Haavara transactions continued during the war to clear assistance payments from the US to German Jews via London and Tel-Aviv Haavara offices (The Seventh Million, p. 22, From Boycott To Annihilation, p. 104; case in point see Edwin Black describing how "Relief Marks" were bought and sold). Anyhow, since the Jewish Agency continued to function in Germany until May 1941 (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 276), then it is reasonable to assume what Segev wrote was correct, and Haavara was halted in December 1941. If that is true, then it is safe also to assume that Haavara was stopped due to American pressure (Hitler declared war on the US in December 1941). Strangely, Haavara Ltd. paid its "investors" as late as 1951 (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 94).
    
    So much we don't know, we would love to know the size of the transactions. Why the British and the Americans allowed Haavara to continue after the Nazis invaded Poland? Was it used for other purposes other than clearing assistance payments? When was the last transaction executed? And who stopped it and why? It seems that the more we dig, the more questions we unearth. Please provide us with your feedback in the comments section.
    
    As you contemplate these facts, keep in mind that Zionist leaders knew that Nazis were exterminating Jews; that is an open secret. For example, here is Nahum Goldman (one of the leading Zionist figures and one of the most important founders of the "Jewish state") on Nov. 24th, 1941, predicting that 4 million Jews would perish when WWII ended. YES, three weeks before the US officially entered the war (JTA, Nov. 24th, 1941).
    
    Back To Haavara FAQs
16. Haavara had a limited impact on the Nazi economy; it made 0.5% of total German exports; therefore, what is the big deal?
    
    
    During the first days after Hitler's boycott against Germany's Jews [early 1933], the Zionist movement's hierarchy in Europe and America was busy trying to plot a course of action. Their objective was not to mobilize Jewish and non-Jewish resources for the preservation of Jewish rights in Germany. Rather, they sought a means of turning the miseries of German Jewry into a new impetus for a Jewish Homeland in Palestine. Zionist leadership had refused to oppose the Nazi expulsion ideology from the outset. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 78-9)
    As you contemplate our reply below, please remember that whoever came up with the number 0.5% must have based it on the official total amount of Haavara's transaction size in its seven years of operation, which was P£8.1M. As we have outlined in another section, this figure is ONLY a fraction of the total transaction size. Based on our findings, Haavara's total transaction sizes must have been close to three times the official number if not more. If you do simple calaculations you will quickly figure out that the official number must be wrong. Most Zionist sources reported 9,500 German Jewish Capitalists immigrated to Palestine between 1933 and 1939 (based on our calculations, Capitalists with dependants were close to 19,000), and that implies P£9.5M were transacted at minimum. On average, the majority brought in with them way more than the minimum of P£1,000. To this date, we have no idea how this figure of 0.5% was calculated and based on which primary sources. Anyhow, in the following analysis, we made the argument as if the figure of 0.5% was correct statistic.
    
    A) Lots of historians who examined Nazis' communications (in private & public) noted how frantic Nazis were about boycotts, especially when they were at their weakest in early 1933. Nothing more terrified Nazis like a unified, well-organized, and Jewish-led worldwide boycott, especially in major export markets in GB & US. Not only have we proven the effectiveness of the boycott early on, but factually Nazis' plan worked: Zionists quickly delivered by dividing Jewish communities around the world, no longer Jews functioned as a solid block, and the back of the boycott was broken although sporadically it went up & down based on events (even Hermann Goering praised them, The Transfer Agreement, p. 52, 79, Avraham Barkai, p. 248-9, David Yisrael, p. 130 - 132). It is worth noting that the Nazis were blinded by their propaganda, too, when they exaggerated "Jewish hegemony" over world trade and finance; Zionist leaders knew of Nazis' blind spots and exploited them to the maximum. These points cannot be underestimated since they impacted the Nazis’ decision-making process irrespective of the size of the total transaction. From the Nazis' point of view, delivering on this point was priceless, which put Zionists in a favorable light. Hitler appreciated their devotion, and in return, he showered them with favors that only a few Aryans got! We urge you to read what Nazi officials in Palestine reported back to Berlin on the impact of the Transfer Agreement on boycott between 1933 and 1935; this point seems to have played the most dominant role in Nazis' decision making process!
    
    
    "For Zionist leadership, the rescue of Jews was not an aim in itself, but only the means" Eliezar Livneh, Haganah's emissary to Nazi Germany 1933-35
    B) Although the "total official" transactions size of Haavara was relatively small (compared to the Nazi economy), its absence would've negatively impacted German exports and employment; and Nazis were willing to sacrifice neither. From Hitler's point of view why should he shut down an agreement when it was net positive? Keep in mind that what was "officially" reported (about Haavara's total transaction size) could be the tip of the iceberg. This point weighed heavily on the Nazis. (Avraham Barkai, p. 252) To further prove this point, German exports were reduced by 12.5% in Jan. of 1939, soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom in November of 1938; that accounted for over RM65 million in just one month! That is why Hitler blessed the Schacht-Rublee Plan, which was way more favorable than Haavara, but it went nowhere!
    
    
    Certificate of immigration issued by the Government of Palestine to Shmuel Rakowski on April-26, 1946
    C) From a German point of view, the Haavara agreement was used to sell the goods they had a hard time selling locally or in foreign markets. This point was especially true in the later years when Nazis restricted what could be sold via the Haavara Agreement.
    
    D) Haavara was used as a Nazi propaganda tool to "prove" how Nazis were not antisemitic, and what others hear and see in the media was fake anti-Nazi propaganda (Polish antisemites used a very similar deflection tactic) ! In a nutshell, Hitler used Zionists to deflect away antisemitism charges, and above all, Zionists were not alarmed by this whatsoever. On the contrary, they even praised the Nuremberg Race Laws! It is worth pointing out that this effective deflection tactic (the act of being pro-Zionist to mask someone's or some group's fascist past) was used immediately after WWII ended to "rehabilitate" and "rebrand" many former Nazis, of course, all in the name of defeating communism. Ironically, the so-called denazification processs was known in West Germany by CLEANSING (here are more details if you are interested). Since WWII, fascists and antisemites dance with Zionism continues to this date on full display, and Zionists never hesitiated of exploiting it. Why change a winning strategy!
    
    E) Haavara was also used as a tool to divide Jewish communities around the world. This was extremely important, especially once Zionists had proved their influence over major US Jewish organizations, as we have shown earlier.
    
    F) Since Haavara was used as a money transfer tool (or cross-border payment system), we "speculate" Nazis may have used it to circumvent boycotts, sanctions, payment systems, or even for money laundering. We admit that we are speculating here, and the proof is needed! More research should be done to rule it in or out!
    
    G) Let's ignore all earlier points; it is a fact that Zionist Jews were the FIRST to normalize trade and relations with Hitler, so who should blame others for doing the same things? Why boycott Nazis when Jewish Nationalists cynically did it first and more often than anyone else? Especially when no guns were pointed at their heads! Sweet lord, Zionists normalized trade with Hitler 3 years ahead of Mussolini and nine years ahead of Mufti & Vichy! Note that Zionist Jews' relations with Hitler weren't impeded for a second, even after the Nuremberg Laws or the Kristallnacht pogrom.
    
    H) It should be noted that much of what we know about Haavara is still hidden, and much of it is still in Hebrew and German!
    SS men and police take away the Jewish men they have arrested in Baden, Baden. November 10, 1938

    All we know is that from the German point of view, by 1936, Haavara lost its appeal, especially when the German economy fully recovered. Still, all facts show that it was Hitler personally who intervened and doubled down on Haavara as late as 1938. Hitler even overruled stiff objections from German bureaucrats' who warned Hitler that Haavara could end up building a Jewish state! (objections were mostly from German civil servants, especially those at the Reichsbank, see Documents on German Foreign Policy - Series D - Volume V, p. 783 - 786, Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 133, Avraham Barkai, p. 264-266, Jews For Sale? p. 26, JTA March 8th, 1938) This is still a big mystery! Why did Hitler allow Haavara to continue when it was no longer benefiting Germany? For example:
    I) The back of the anti-Nazi boycott was broken,
    II) MOST IMPORTANTLY, German Jewish immigration to Palestine was already tiny (under 10% of German Jews immigrated to Palestine in total & within seven years), much of whom would've immigrated anyhow (to Palestine or somewhere else) with or without Haavara. Almost half left in 18 months in 1938-39 (over 250k left) without being saved by Haavara! (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35),
    III) the size of German exports to Palestine was only 0.5% of total German exports,
    IV) the German economy was recovering, and
    V) easily, Haavara could have been replicated with other countries to expedite the removal of as many Jews as possible from the Reich. (Avraham Barkai, p. 264-266)
    
    

    American Christian Evangelicals: The Heirs of Father Charles Coughlin
    Analysis: Why Hitler had a soft spot in his heart for Zionists is still a big mystery! It is well known how he praised Zionists in Mein Kampf. That said, let us not forget that Zionists' dealing with Hilter gave him a perfect propaganda cover that helped in deflecting criticisms away from the Nazis. Something similar happened when Trump was in office when he used the fact that his daughter converted to Judaism and was married to a hardcore Zionist. Could that be why Hitler tolerated Zionists? If you are interested, L. Brenner has an interesting take here. Or, could it be that Hitler was able to tolerate such a scheme because it was net positive to Nazis, and as long it wasn't a loss, he was willing to accept it as long it helped in cleansing Germany of its Jewish population? We believe it is a combination of the earlier two reasons. We wish someone would do more exhaustive research on this topic. Anyhow, let’s know what you think in the comments section.

17. Did Zionists foresee the Holocaust before WWII? They've felt helpless and since it was fait accompli, and decided to make the best of it.

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    What is mind-boggling is how all Zionist leaders saw the dangers to Europe's Jews nine years before the Final Solution was underway. Instead of confronting and resisting Hitler's fascism, Zionists sought accommodation to exploit Nazis' antisemitism to achieve their political goals (e.g., creating the "Jewish state"). After doing just a little research, we found that this was Zionists' strategy from the beginning: Theodor Herzl's marching orders, just a few decades earlier, was to never confront antisemites, and Europe's antisemites would eventually become Zionists' best friends.

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    Herzl envisioned that antisemitism could be exploited, and he saw no downsides. Thus, it was a win-win deal for Zionist Jews and Europe's antisemites. Thus, confronting antisemites head-on would be foolhardy and counterproductive. From Herzl's point of view, working with antisemites was more like the art of Jujutsu but in politics, and his followers believed in it religiously (see The Transfer Agreement p. 226). On the other hand, this appeasing and accommodating policy had unforeseen outcomes: many Zionists who believed in Herzl's earlier marching orders became collaborators (a.k.a Kapos) who enabled the efficient killing machine during WWII; more on this deadly phenomenon at the end of this section.

    To prove our point, please contemplate what David Ben-Gurion said once he was done reading Mein Kampf 1934, he declared:

    Revisionists Boycott Poster

    "Hitler's policy puts all the Jewish people in danger", Ben-Gurion hoped that Nazis' victory would become "a fertile force" for Zionism [what about for the Jews David, did you care about them!] (The Seventh Million, p. 18)
    
    [What Ben-Gurion called the "fertile force" was the LEVEL (which he often spoke in the 1930s) that would create the "Jewish state."]

    The same logic applies for Ze'ev Jabotinsky, who stated in early 1933:

    "The Third Reich's policy towards the Jews calls for a war of extermination. It is being conducted in a way that exceeds the bounds of humanity."(The Seventh Million, p. 18) which Jabotinsky asserted two years later too.

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    [Ask yourself: What did Jabotinsky and his Revisionist followers do to confront Hitler? Here is how the fathers of "Jewish Nationalism" confronted the rise of fascism: Ze'ev (Wolfy) and his followers doubled down on fascism with Hitler's fascist mentor Mussolini! Wolfy did the same thing but with his Polish fascist buddies before WWII. Revisionists were hardcore hardcore cynical, they were anti-Haavara only after Ben-Gurion and co. stole it from them first (see Haavara V1.0 by Sam Cohen)! Ironically, Jabotinsky attempted to replicate Haavara with Poland's fascists. But again, Ben-Gurion and Co. usurped it from him just before the war started!
    
    Let us fast forward to the 1940s, Jabotinsky's followers either reached out for alliance with the Nazis (as late as 1941), or bombed WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland! YES, two of Israel's future PMs (Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir) did exactly that during WWII. Mazeltov, Jews on this lovely gift for humanity: Zionism!]

    Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?

    Here is Ben-Gurion speaking forcefully in defense of Haavara on December 11th, 1935 (two months after the Nazis enacted the Nuremberg Race Laws). Note how David spoke of the destruction of German Jewry six years before the fact; despite this assertion, he and other Jewish Agency Executives allocated under 10% of the immigration certificates to German Jews (much of the certificates were grants from the British):

    Only Eretz-Israel can serve as a cure for German Jewry, even if not for all of them; any other "cure" is a false hope. We cannot topple Hitler; perhaps he will be toppled some other way. We must be concerned with the fate of the children and women, who are choking in this destructive hell. There is one way to rescue them-- to bring them to Eretz-Israel, with their capital. Their capital -- that is, merchandise, and by this I do not mean French or English merchandise. The only question is whether the money will return to Germany. This is not German merchandise; this is Jewish capital, belonging to Jews who are going to their destruction ... we have no other honor except by rescuing Jews and bringing them to Eretz-Israel. (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 104)

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    [Notice how Ben-Gurion clearly implied that Jews could ONLY BE RESCUED in Eretz-Israel, and that explains why he referred to saving Jews, in countries other than of Palestine, as a "Witch Doctor's Medicine"! We didn't make it up; those were Ben-Gurion's own words! Zionists' antisemitism operated in the open in the 1930s and 40s.]

    Now please contemplate Chaim Weizmann while addressing the 20th Zionist Congress in August 1937. Chaim recalled being asked whether he was saying that Palestine could accommodate all six million of Europe’s Jews; notice how Weizmann used the six million figure four years before the Final Solution. Here is how Weizmann's replied:

    Catastrophic Zionism at its worst: Zionists often spoke of the Holocaust decades before its time. What did Zionists do to confront it? Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade with the Nazis!

    "I told the Royal Commission that the hopes of 6,000,000 Jews are centered on emigration", he reported to the Zionist Congress in 1937. “Then I was asked: But can you bring 6,000,000 Jews to Palestine?" I replied, "No. I am acquainted with the laws of physics and chemistry, and I knew the force of material factors. In our generation I divide the figure by three, and you can see in that the depth of the Jewish tragedy -two millions of youth, with their lives before them, who have lost the most elementary of rights, the right to work." He finished off with a stark grim forecast, which even now, nearly forty years later, one shudders to read: "The old ones will pass, they will bear their fate or they will net. They are dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world, And again I thought of our tradition, What ts tradition? It is telescoped memory. We remember. Thousands of years ago we heard the words of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and my words are but a weak echo of what was said by our judges, our singers and prophets. Two millions, and perhaps less: She'erit Hapletah- only a branch shall survive. We have to accept it."(Prof. Chimen Abramsky, p. 144 and here is the same quote from "The Times of Israel Blog" but it included the antisemitic racist version too)
    
    [Pay attention to how Chaim almost used Ben-Gurion's terminology: "Witch Doctor's Medicine"! Thus, why bother to save the Jews outside of Palestine? They are doomed anyhow! Just imagine if Erwin Rommel made it to Palestine, which was a real possibility in 1941-42. In case you are curious, we have addressed that scenario in depth in another section.]

    SS men and police take away the Jewish men after Kristallnacht

    What was truly chilling was how Zionists Edwin Black (p. 226) and Tom Segev (p. 18,102-104) both found that Zionists used to talk about the calamity as if it was inevitable, as if shoah already happened starting from the mid-1930s (The Holocaust And The_Rise of Israel, p, 100). Therefore, in Zionists' minds, very little could be done to save Europe's Jews! Much to our surprise, we have found that the idea of Yad Vashem was born in the early days of the Holocaust (summer of 1942) when news of the calamity was barely known to FDR. As if in the Zionist mind, the Holocaust already happened; it is in the past, and one thing left for them to do is how to exploit the calamity and to turn it as the LEVER (using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) in the service of building their "Jewish state"! Please contemplate how Edwin Black described Zionists' mindset before the Shoah was underway to get a clearer picture:

    SS men and police take away the Jewish men they have arrested in Baden, Baden. November 10, 1938

    "In the minds of Zionists, Jewish life in Germany could not be saved, only transferred. Even if Hitler and the German economy were crushed, Jewish wealth in Germany would be crushed with it...[as if Black implies that crushing Nazi Germany early on doesn't serve the Zionist cause!] ..The wealth had to be saved. Through the speedy liquidation and transfer of that wealth, the Jewish homeland could be built, thus creating the refuge needed for a mass transfer of the people. Zionism had declared from the moment of Herzl that antisemitic regimes were to be opposed. They [antisemitic regimes] were to be cooperated with in the transfer of Jews and their wealth." (p. 226)

    Nazis vs. Zionists: Two sides of the same coin

    Some make the mistake of thinking that Zionists' antisemitism is a thing of the past; that is a big mistake. Fomenting antisemitism was and still is Zionists' Golden Goose, which lays golden eggs whenever they want. To learn more about Herzl's antisemitism and how that affected Zionists from the beginning, we urge your read his Mauschel article, then you will understand that Zionists' antisemitism was done by design. Weaponizing Jewish hate was Zionists' golden goose, it keeps on going, that is why Europe's Jews didn't want to be part of them. For example, after Oct 7th's Raid, Zionists purposely distributed "I Love Hamas" stickers, and when they were caught red-handed; they behaved as its not a big deal. Anyhow, we hate to bore you on this subject, but if you have three minutes to spare, we urge you to watch this video for a Canadian Jew who reported on a much sinister scandal in Canada!

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    To get a better context, to recognized that what you have read wasn't an anti-Zionist rant; we urge you to read the whole final chapter in Shabtai Teveth's book (who was Ben-Gurion's official biographer). The title of the last chapter is very revealing: "Disaster Means Strength". For the love of God, if he called it: "Jews as firewood," that would've been way more appropriate. As you read it, you shall discover that during the pre-Nakba period, Ben-Gurion & Co. kept emphasizing the importance of exploiting Jewish pain and suffering in the process of building the "Jewish state." You shall find NOTHING WHATSOVER about rescuing Jews. On the contrary, what was tragically funny was that the word rescue to Zionists used to have negative connotations. Once you examine what was spent on rescue from what was allocated and collected, well, you might lose your religion; you have been warned.

    How to fairly judge Zionist leaders' actions and policies during the 1930s and 40s?

    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in Palestine

    Despite these chilling earlier assertions (by David Ben-Gurion, Haim Weizmann, Edwin Black, Tom Segev, Shabtai Teveth, and many others), we believe that Zionists may have envisioned multiple Nakbas (combinations of pogroms, massacres, dispossession, refugee crises, and ethnic cleansing) upon the Jews of Europe (which was common before WWII, see the pogroms in Poland and Ukraine after WWI ended). In the 1930s, the pogroms were anticipated to happen first in Poland (and WWII may have cut short this process), and Zionists may not have foreseen a full-fledged genocide as the Holocaust. Despite all of that, it is strongly suspected that Zionists must have anticipated the calamity in one shape or another (but to what extent we honestly don't know) since they knew it was a possibility. Shebtai Teveth, Ben-Gurion's official biographer, seems to have arrived at a similar conclusion, see The Burning Ground, p. 851-852.
    
    Based on our research, we've found that the concept of Catastrophic Zionism (discussed below) was more widely spread among Zionists than previously thought. Based on our research, as if this apocalyptic idea consumed Zionists of all colors to the bones in the 1920s and 30s. Zionists saw some kind of calamity brewing in the near future. Even Leon Trotsky (although he was neutral on Zionism) openly spoke about the impending calamity during the 1930s.

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    Therefore, it is a fact that Zionists were the only ones who knew it could happen even if they didn't "envision" it would murder six million Jews (although as we saw earlier, it was Weizmann who used the six million figure four years before the Holocaust), and this explains why Zionists used such vivid language (Post Uganda: Zionism on Trial, p. 167, The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 109). 
    
    Thus, when Zionists are judged morally, we always have to factor in they were the most qualified to warn Jews of the impending calamity, but in practice, Zionists did the exact opposite by turning Jews' plight into the LEVER that created their state. YES, ladies and gentlemen, in practice, what was bad for Jews has always been good for Zionism! Therefore, increasing Jewish pain and suffering had its rewards for Zionism. In the next few sections, we shall address how Zionists managed to monetize Jewish pain in the service of their goals. Hang on to your seat and grab a cup of coffee.

    How did Zionist leaders monetize Jewish pain politically and financially?

    NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis was left to the Gentiles so they could focus on defeating the White Paper.

    From Zionists' point of view, the White Paper of 1939 posed an existential crisis to the whole Zionist movement just a few months before WWII was underway, and Nazis were never the enemy from their point on. Zionists were facing a life-or-death situation (similar to the one they faced between 1930-33 when the Jewish Agency was almost bankrupt six years earlier, which pushed them into signing the Haavara agreement with Hitler). Zionist leaders behaved like a chicken with its head cut off. That is why all Zionist groups started their arms struggle (Aaron Berman, p. 70-71) against the British (inclusive of Haganah), which in many cases continued during WWII as the Holocaust was in progress (as was the case with Stern, Lehi, and the Irgun where some of them reached to Hitler for alliance ten months before Mufti did in early and late 1941).

    Since the White Paper put severe limits on future Jewish immigration to Palestine, that implied that defeating the White Paper had to become the most important priority for the whole Zionist movement, and everything else had to be tabled, including rescuing Jews. Actually, American Jewry voted on tabling rescue efforts and in favor of focusing on building the state during the American Jewish Conference in Sept. - Oct. 1943. YES, this happened when the last two million were alive!

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    After WWII was underway in Oct. 1939, David Ben-Gurion coined his famous slogan of: we shall fight the White Paper as if Hitler isn't there, and we shall fight Hitler as if the White Paper isn't there. On paper, this slogan sounded patriotic, and it had a nice ring. On the other hand, in practice, all Zionists knew well it was complete nonsense; fighting Hitler was never even considered. Don't take our word for it, read it from the heads of the Zionist movement in the US (Nahum Goldman and Rabbi Stephen Wise) in May 1943. What both said was and still is an open secret in the Zionist movement:

    We cannot press the Hitler button and the British and Palestine buttons at the same time! (NY Times, April 18th, 1982: AMERICAN JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST By Lucy S. Dawidowicz and The Abandonment of the Jews by David S. Wyman, p. 176)
    
    [What Zionist leaders outlined here actually reflected Jewish Agency's budget during the war. There was nothing allocated to fighting the Nazis, and very little was spent on rescue efforts! This alone should make you question everything about the Zionist narrative. Zionists' budget during the war spoke volumes.]

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    To put it simply, Nazis weren't THE enemy of the yishuv, and Rabbi Wise was 100% correct: Hitler and the White Paper cannot be fought at once; one of them had to give. In layman's terms, there was not enough bandwidth to fight both, and fighting Hitler (which is directly correlated with supporting rescue efforts to countries other than Palestine) was left to the Gentiles at best. Actually, in practice, Zionists hindered rescuing Europe's Jews (except if their destination was ONLY Palestine) to maximize defeating the White Paper of 1939. Thus, at the moment of crisis, Europe's Jews were left high and dry. Many Jews saw this coming way before WWII when the Ben-Gurion & Co. helped Nazis to break up the anti-Nazi boycott in 1933. Here is Edwin Black nailing it on the head way better than we did:

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    Meanwhile, the German government felt certain it had triggered the breakup of the boycott because the Zionist movement would now be in the German export business German Jewish wealth and emigrants would be transferred in a flow wholly dependent upon the purchase of German merchandise and commodities. The Jews of the world would now have to choose between fighting Hitler and building Palestine, preserving the old or securing the new. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 133-34)

    Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

    In a nutshell, the existential crisis that confronted Zionists in May 1939 intensified their fixation on Palestine as the ONLY solution to the so-called "Jewish problem" (Ben-Gurion spoke openly of exploiting Jewish pain and suffering in a way that could act as the LEVER that will create the "Jewish state"), and those Jews who immigrated to other havens than Palestine meant nothing to them (Ben-Gurion called saving Jews outside Palestine "Witch Doctor's Medicine"). Thus, our analysis explains:

    Why Ben-Gurion wished death upon those German Jewish children who immigrated to England soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom (and a month before Hitler's infamous hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939)!

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    Why did the Zionist leadership lobby against any haven for Jews except for Palestine?
    Why did Zionist leaders hinder any rescue effort unless the destination was Palestine?
    Why much of the rescue fund was stolen (Zionists would say "diverted" to the new state to-be) during WWII?
    Why the so-called yishuv avoided fighting the Nazis to the bitter end? Well, to be fair to the so-called yishuv, they saw little action at the war's end and managed to snap a few selfies at the front!
    Why did this evil policy continue even after WWII ended in the DP camps?
    Why did Zionist leaders attempt to hoard much of the rescue funds that could have been available to viable rescue schemes?
    Why did the word rescue have negative connotations to Zionists? YES, Ben-Gurion's stomach used to turn when the subject of rescuing Jews used to come up!
    Why did Zionist leaders suppressed and play down news of the calamity from the beginning?
    Why were Zionist leaders against bombing the death camps and the railroads leading to them?
    Why Haavara was s shutdown as late as December 1941, and Jewish Agency's offices in Berlin were closed in May 1941, but not much sooner?
    Why many Arab Jews were terrorized into leaving their homes in the early 1950s? Is it possible that the same thing happened in Warsaw after WWII ended? Well, it is all good guys. If you want the omelet, you must be willing to smash a few million eggs.

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    In the best of scenarios, Zionist leaders didn't care about Europe's Jews (irrespective of whether they knew that Shoah would happen) not only during the pogroms in the 1930s but, most importantly, as the calamity was being executed and after Shoah was concluded (in the displaced persons --DP camps). For Zionist leaders, Europe's Jews are alive only in "Eretz-Israel"; in the Zionist mind Europe's Jews will be dead no matter where they go except in Palestine (i.e. Witch Doctor's Medicine); as if Ben-Gurion looked upon their rescue as a betrayal too! Thus, why should the Jewish Agency "waste" its budget? On the other hand, we agree with Black's and Segev's earlier assessment: Zionists foresaw multiple Nakbas upon the Jews of Europe, played it safe with little to no risks, positioned themselves for maximum advantage, and all heeded Herzl's advice by turning Jewish plight into the lever, weapon and piggy bank that would build their "Jewish state".

    
    Why most Kapos were Zionist activists? Click the picture for the details.

    In layman's terms, this is precisely how Zionist leaders managed to monetize Jewish pain politically and economically. What has been sick is that many so-called "Jewish historians" perfectly know that our description of the events is accurate. Despite it, they've painted Zionists' policies as shrouded and pragmatic political calculation. Mazeltov Jews, give yourself a big hand on this "wonderful" ideology!

    The Mouse Trap

    Early on, Theodor Herzl warned Zionists not to resist or oppose European antisemites. Herzl encouraged them to cooperate with them, and over time, Herzl predicted that the antisemites would become Zionists' best allies (The Transfer Agreement, p. 226). On the other hand, such a policy had its unforeseen risks. During the Holocaust, it became a "curse" upon Europe's Jews, and Herzl's marching orders became an accelerant during the calamity. Does this explain why the majority of the Kapos were Zionists? Or, that was just a coincidence?

    Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together

    In this regard, we are forced to ask: what if Zionist leaders knew that exterminating Europe's Jews was the ultimate goal for Hitler? Do you think that would have changed Zionists' calculations? All we know is that Hitler made his threat clear on Jan. 30th, 1939 (two months after Ben-Gurion's infamous hate speech), and by then, his intentions should have been clear to Jews and Zionists alike. And instead of confronting Hitler, Zionists doubled down on Haavara. Keep in mind that FDR shut down Haavara in late 1941, and the Jewish Agency's office in Berlin was closed as late as May 1941. Nahum Goldmann (one of the most important founding fathers of the "Jewish state" who lived those fateful moments in the 1930s and 40s) looked back with great remorse and painful regrets at those events. Mr. Goldmann wondered how many Jews might have survived if Jews (especially Zionist Jews) chose to confront Europe's antisemites instead of appeasing them!

    What Is Catastrophic Zionism?

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    As we started researching the Haavara Agreement, increasingly we kept running into Zionist leaders who acted as if they were part of a doomsday cult (The Armageddon Cult). Initially, we thought those were isolated experiences; thus, we didn't think much of it. On the other hand, quickly, a pattern evolved. When we started looking into it, we found many Zionist Jews (especially in the leadership) who used to speak of the Holocaust in the past tense a few decades before the calamity. We found very little was written on this doomsday cult ideology, and Edwin Black provided the best description of the "Catastrophic Zionism" phenomenon. Between brackets, we have interjected what he wrote to add missing context:

    During 1920, amid daily massacres on the Polish border [these pogroms, over 1,500, were the largest ever before the Holocaust] and political uncertainty, eminent Zionist leader Max Nordau espoused a stark new concept call catastrophic Zionism. Nordau, a radical philosopher with a doomsday outlook, had been Herzl's closest ally in Zionism's founding years. In Herzl's dying moments in 1904, his followers insisted Nordau succeed him as the head of the Zionist movement. But Nardau refused, preferring to remain outside the upper echelon. At the Tenth Zionist Congress in 1911, predicted that if a Jewish Palestine were not granted soon, millions of Europeans would be annihilated by the emerging political forces. As the slaughter of Jews on the Polish-Russian border and the question or Jewish sovereignty in Palestine were tediously debated, Nordau proposed the immediate transfer of 600,000 pogrom-afflicted Jews to Palestine within a few months—without any real preparation. The assets of these 600,000 would, of course, come with them. Nordau reportedly predicted that a third of those Jews would starve to death, a third would find Palestine unacceptable and reimmigrate, the remaining third would create a majority or near-majority in Palestine, and the Jewish State would quickly and finally be achieved.
    
    It had been twenty-five years since Herzl first declared, "Whoever can, and must perish, let him perish...Whole branches of Judaism may wither and fall, but the trunk remains." Max Nordau, Herzl's reluctant heir, was now proposing to extend philosophical writings and dogmatic utterances into reality. The result of his plan, if carried out, would be the accepted sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Jews, the dispossession and re-dispersion of hundreds of thousands more, but the survival of enough people with enough resources to achieve the all-important salvation of future generations. Nordau argued that it was better for hundreds of thousands of Jews to perish in the struggle to achieve Jewish redemption in the land of Israel than wait for the cassock's sword to fall.

    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!

    The Zionist leadership rejected Nordau's plan as frightening and impractical [soon you shall discover, many of the Zionist leadership subscribed to this doomsday cult mentality in the 1930s and 40s]. Although placed on the shelf, Nordau's catastrophic Zionism firmly moved many in the Zionist leadership to believe that the coming decisive moment would somehow arise out of a similar, perhaps even more threatening, tragedy.
    
    One who reluctantly spurned Max Nordau's concept in 1920 was Vladimir Jabotinsky, a fiery maximalist who advocated extreme approaches to Jewish nationalism and Jewish self-defense. However, in an equally controversial move, Jabotinsky ironically sealed a pact with the Ukrainian nationalists responsible for the massacres [here Mr. Black was referring to the infamous Symon Petliura who was responsible for the largest massacre of Jews before the holocaust] leading to Nordau plan. Jabotinsky agreement established a Jewish militia at the rear of the Ukrainian forces to Protect Jewish civilians, many of whom were Zionists [note how Jabotinsky's goal was saving Zionist Jews; not Jews; which was replicated during the Holocaust two decades later, see Kastner's Train for more details]. Although violently characterized in 1921 at the Twelfth Zionist Congress, Jabotinsky silenced his foes by dramatically declaring from the rostrum, "In working for Palestine, I would even ally myself with the devil." The curses turned to cheers as the endorsed Jabotinsky's rationale with a standing ovation. That ovation was the turning point for many who now came to believe not only that the decisive moment for Zionism would be some coming catastrophe, but that the solution would require Zionist negotiations with the hand responsible. (The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black, p. 76-77)
    
    [Less than two decades later, Jabotinsky's nemesis, David Ben-Gurion implemented his plan to the teeth. Jews, please give yourselves a big hand on this great ideology: To save Jews, you had to kill them first; mazeltov!]

    To prove Mr. Black's earlier characterization was not an isolated description of a few Zionists, we ask you to contemplate Abraham Burg's description (the former speaker of the Israeli Knesset) of a jaw-dropping encounter he had with the former Israeli president, Ezer Weizman. Please be seated first, you might lose your religion:

    What do we Israelis know of the lives, dreams, and fears of American Jews? What do we learn of the North African Jews who immigrated to France, or the Latin American Jews? Not a clue, and worse --we simply do not care. "They should either come and live here," the late President Ezer Weizman once told me angrily, "or they should go to hell." This was the thinking when he grew up in the British Mandate of Palestine. The Land of Israel, thus they were ignored during the Shoah, and this is still the sentiment today. If they are well, they do not interest us at all: if their condition worsens, it only justifies our choices.
    
    This is catastrophic Zionism at its worst. What is bad for the Jews is better for Zionism.(p. 99-100)

    Here is Abraham J. Edelheit's characterization of this doomsday cult, which is in sync with what Mr. Black shared earlier:

    Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

    Zionists of all political stripes had an overwhelming sense that some form of catastrophe was imminent. This catastrophe, they felt, would be massive. The socialist Zionist leader Ber Borochov, for example, had warned that "we must liquidate the diaspora before the diaspora liquidates us." Although not specifically predicting the Holocaust, similar statements, by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, David Ben-Gurion, and Chaim Weizmann, to name only three, must also be considered relevant to the relationship between the Holocaust and the rise of the State of Israel. (The Holocaust And The Rise of Israel, p. 100)

    Now contemplate how the future Israeli PM (Levi Eshkol) actually looked upon antisemitism as the tool in creating the "Jewish state". By now, that shouldn't be a surprise to you. Below we are citing again the Hasbarah "expert" (Abraham J. Edelheit) just to show you how fomenting antisemitism could be watered down; could be whitewashed; could be normalized:

    An explicit call for the JAE [Jewish Agency Executive] to act in response to the suffering of Jews in Eastern Europe was made by Levi Skolnik (Eshkol). "What Jews were unwilling to do when they had the opportunity," he said, "we can now get them to do under [conditions of] duress." In a sense, Skolnik appeared to be welcoming antisemitism, at least insofar as pressure to emigrate became an impetus for Jews to turn to Zionism. Such, however, was not his purpose. Even if the Zionists did not properly assess the Nazi threat, none of them looked forward to the prospect of Jewish suffering. Again, a Zionist leader was caught in the same rhetorical trap analyzed by the “Catastrophic Zionism” school: for forty years, Zionists had predicted an impending assault on European Jewry. When the predicted catastrophe arrived, however, they were unable to rise above the “business as usual” attitude that permeated the Yishuv’s daily politics. (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 109)
    
    [Tom Segev reported something similar after WWII ended, see The First Israelis, p. 109-110
    
    Now imagine if the same sentence was written by Mufti Haj Amin, not Mr. Eshkol, would Mr. Edelheit write similarly to water down Mufti's antisemitism! That would be a death wish! We wish him no harm!

    When Hannah Arendt (one of the towering intellectual figures in the 20th century) compared the Zionist movement two years before Nakba to Shabtai Tzvi's Sabbatean catastrophic movement (when world Jewry went mad believing in the false messiah), honestly, we thought she was way over the top. On the other hand, once we examined how the Jews lost their marbles believing in the false messiah 500 years ago (who would return them to the "Promised Land"), with today's world Jewry, the similarities are very stark. In mass, the vast majority of world Jewry are experiencing a secular version of the Sabbatean cult they endured in the second half of the 17th century. The mass of Jews are not tethered to reality as Ms. Arendt implied below:

    The mere fact that a catastrophe had thrown the Jews from the two extremes of the past and the future into the middle ground of the present does not signify that they had now become “realistic.” To be confronted by reality does not automatically produce an understanding of reality or make one feel at home in it. On the contrary, the process of secularization made Jews even less “realistic”-- that is, less capable than ever before of facing and understanding the real situation. In losing their faith in a divine beginning and ultimate culmination of history, the Jews lost their guide through the wilderness of bare facts; for when man is robbed of all means of interpreting events, he is left with no sense whatsoever of reality. The present that confronted the Jews after the Sabbatai Zevi debacle was the turmoil of a world whose course no longer made sense and in which, as a result, the Jews could no longer find a place. (Hannah Arendt, May 1946).
    
    It seems Jews have been known to go mad every century believing in some false messiah

    A group dinner for the German Jewish kids who were saved by the British people a month after Kristallnacht. It is their departure and rescue that triggered Ben-Gurion's antisemitic hate speech.

    We urge you to watch Samual Merlin (of the Bergson Group and The Emergency Committee To Save The Jewish People of Europe) for two minutes: "....Zionists used to say that rescue wasn't our business....", and that confirms what Dina Porat reported on page 92. Note also what Mr. Merlin said in the last 20 seconds, he referred Chaim Weizmann's infamous antisemitic speech, which was shared earlier. By now, you must be aware that the house of Zion is full of antisemitism; therefore, this should not be a surprise. Anyhow, also we found this helpful book by Mr. Merlin which you might find helpful:
    

    Here is the unvarnished truth: It seems Zionist leaders from all shades embraced the catastrophic Zionism theorem that Herzl, Max Nordau and Jabotinsky promoted in the early 20th century as a response to the massacres of hundreds of thousands of Eastern European Jews by Ukrainian and Polish nationalists! It seems that the whole Zionist leadership (not limited to a few) convinced themselves that THE catastrophe was coming and that there was no point in confronting it (The Holocaust And The Rise of Israel, p. 100). Therefore, they concluded they should be "pragmatic," embrace it since "they cannot stop it," go along, even foment antisemitism since the catastrophe is "coming anyhow," pretend to do something "meaningful in defense of Jewish honor," and made the "best out of a bad situation!" That is very plausible; lots of evidence points towards such a conclusion, which explains a lot of Zionists' passivity.

    "It is possible to imagine without difficulty what awaits the Jews at the mere outbreak of the future world war. But even without war, the next development of world reaction signifies with certainty the physical extermination of the Jews." Leon Trotsky, December 1938, in an appeal to American Jews. Now, compare what Trotsky wrote with Ben-Gurion's infamous hate speech.

    Are you surprised how and why European anti-Semites eagerly voted for the UN partition of 1947?
    Are you surprised how Zionists quickly normalized with the same people who murdered millions of their family members? For God's sake, Jewish graves were still fresh!
    Well, you might also ask: Zionist leaders thought the Shoah would happen anyhow, so why is it far-fetched that they fomented antisemitism too to achieve their political and economic gains? How will a slight nudge or encouragement make a difference? They are dead anyhow! That was done to "save lives"!
    Is it possible that Arab Jews were also nudged to force them into immigrating to Israel after Nakba? Exactly as Ben-Gurion nudged Nazis a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom? It's OK; it was done in good faith, guys; Zionists' antisemitism was done to save Jews!
    Does this explain nudging Iraqi Jews (just a little bit) to expedite their departure in the early 1950s? Here is an interview with a Mossad agent caught red-handed during the act.

    Back To Haavara FAQs

18. How did Zionist leaders respond when Great Britain saved 10,000 German Jewish children after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!
    
    You would think David Ben-Gurion was the first to thank the British people for their generosity!
    You would not think Mr. Ben-Gurion preferred death to those Jews who were desperate to save themselves and their children? God forbid; suggesting such a thing would be blood libel, how dare you!
    You would not think David would weaponize antisemitism as a LEVER against those kids way ahead of Hitler?
    
    Well, be careful of what you wish for! A month after the pogrom, Ben-Gurion & other Zionist leaders were so consumed with how to politically exploit the tragedy not only did they not thank the British people, but David wrote the following antisemitic paragraph as well:

    "If I knew it was possible to save all [Jewish] children of Germany by their transfer to England and only half of them by transferring them to Eretz-Yisrael, I would choose the latter----because we are faced not only with the accounting of these [Jewish] children but also with the historical accounting of the Jewish People." (Righteous Victims, p. 162 and The Burning Ground by Shabtai Teveth) Ben-Gurion was so concerned that the "human conscience" might bring various countries to open their doors to those persecuted German Jews [God forbid]. He saw this as a threat and warned: Zionism is in danger. (The Seventh Million p. 28 & NY Times, July 12th, 1987)
    
    Pay attention A) How Ben-Gurion used the word "save" before the Final Solution was in the picture, which confirms that Zionist leaders spoke of Shoah in the past tense before it happened. In Zionists' minds, the calamity is happening and nothing could stop it; therefore, it should be exploited. B) Hitler's infamous hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan. 30th, 1939, almost immediately followed Ben-Gurion's speech by two months; which leads us to believe that David was speaking to Hitler because he (referring to David) refused to retract his antisemitic hate speech although he was heavily criticized for it. Actually, it has been documented that he said something similar (if not worse) 10 days later. If you are interest, here is our complete analysis about this infamous speech!

    The arrival of a Kindertransport at Waterloo Station, Feb. 2nd, 1939

    Many of Ben-Gurion's apologists spin his antisemitic remarks and describe them as unfortunate, helpless, regretful, or even concoct excuses that he couldn’t have foreseen the Holocaust. Not to our surprise, we just discovered that Ben-Gurion behaved exactly the same way after WWII ended when he heard that hundreds of Jewish children in the DP camps would be relocated to Britain and France rather than Palestine. Most Zionists' leadership expressed a similar sentiment during the 1930s and 40s. For example, Chaim Weizmann spoke of something similar almost a year earlier and here is Rabbi Stephan Wise lobbying US Congress against increasing immigration quotas (concerning German Jewish children) in early 1939 four months after Kristallnacht. Chaim Weizmann also was known to have said something similar to British officials around the same time (see Zionism during the Holocaust, p. 298).

    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939

    In Zionists’ mind, those Jews (no matter how disparate they were) when they immigrated to places other than Palestine (especially in the 1930s when the Jewish Agency was at its weakest), were voting with their feet against the "Jewish state" to be; that was looked at the time as a betrayal. Just a few years earlier, Ben-Gurion was hoping for a refugee crisis that could act as the LEVER in creating the "Jewish state." Therefore, what Ben-Gurion wrote was no aberration; it reflected the dominant Zionists' viewpoint at the time (Chaim Weizmann was known to have said something similar to British officials; see Zionism during the Holocaust, p. 296). Thus, from the Zionists’ points of view, this was a matter of life and death, and they couldn't care less about those Jews (even those unfortunate German Jewish children) if their actions weakened or endangered them. For Zionists, all they cared about was establishing their state, and Jewish or Palestinian persecution was only a means to an end. Here is another sample: Ben-Gurion spoke forcefully to defend the Haavara agreement on December 11th, 1935. Note how he spoke of the destruction of German Jewry 6 years before the fact. Despite of Ben-Gurion's assertion, David & other Jewish Agency executives allocated under 10% of the immigration certificates to German Jews:

    Only Eretz-Israel can serve as a cure for German Jewry, even if not for all of them; any other "cure" is a false hope. We cannot topple Hitler; perhaps he will be toppled some other way. We must be concerned with the fate of the children and women, who are choking in this destructive hell. There is one way to rescue them-- to bring them to Eretz-Israel, with their capital. Their capital -- that is, merchandise, and by this I do not mean French or English merchandise. The only question is whether the money will return to Germany. This is not German merchandise; this is Jewish capital, belonging to Jews who are going to their destruction ... we have no other honor except by rescuing Jews and bringing them to Eretz-Israel.'" (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 104) In a nutshell, those Jews who didn't immigrate to Palestine and chose to be saved somewhere else, they were as good as dead to him!

    Rabbi Solomon Schonfeld: British Hero of the Holocaust. Was he ever honored by Zionists? Was he thanked?

    Just to prove what Ben-Gurion said was a Zionist policy (that was implemented in practice by all branches of the Zionist movement) and it was not a slip of the tongue (as if that was not criminal, to begin with), we are compelled to quote Wikipedia (by far a pro-Zionist platform) about kindertransport's main coordinator Rabbi Solomon Schonfeld (a true hero- not an impostering one):

    When the scale of rescue work needed became apparent in the 1930s, he became the executive director of the Chief Rabbi's Religious Emergency Council, formed under the auspices of his future father-in-law, Chief Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz, in 1938-1948. He rescued many thousands of Jews from Nazi forces in Central and Eastern Europe during the years 1938?. He felt Zionism had aided the Nazi regime's persecution of Jews. (A Jewish Kapo in Auschwitz By Tuvia Friling, p. 255)[Image grab] [Sweet lord, why the hero Rabbi felt that Zionists at the time were Hitler's allies! He must be "an antisemite and self-hating Jew"! Whatever that means! ]
    [ . . . . ]
    In January 1943, Schonfeld worked with Eleanor Rathbone to devise a practical rescue plan, but they then encountered Zionist opposition. The Parliamentary motion had omitted Palestine as a haven, and was therefore vocally opposed, as was the case with the Mauritius initiatives. [Image grab] [Note how the Impostering Heroes' policies continued during the war at the height of the calamity in 1943 and even after the war ended in DP camps. Zionists were determined to close off any safe havens except Palestine! Here is why if you care!. We hate to bore you; but also we have found another Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl with a very similar heroic story; so many buried secrets in Haavara's carcass!]

    Also, pay attention that the Nazi pogrom coincided with Great Britain's rejection of the Peel Partition Plan. Aviva Halamish’s assessment of Zionist leaders’ mindset at the time is second to none:

    The arrival of a Kindertransport at Waterloo Station, Feb. 2nd, 1939

    The combination in Kristallnacht of an aggressive anti-Semitic policy initiated by the authorities, which had been the fate of Germany’s Jews in various degrees of intensity since 1933, with the physical attack on their lives and property by violent crowds acting in accordance with instructions by the authority, in a mode typical of East European countries, led the Zionist leadership to realise that the Jews of the Reich were doomed and that they had to get out of Germany and Austria, and the sooner the better. Kristallnacht had a decisive impact on the transformation of the Zionist approach to the German crisis from conceiving it as being an immigration issue to constituting a refugee problem requiring emergency action. The Woodhead Report [in response to Peel Partition Plan] was also influential in forging a line of political action linking the refugee crisis with the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine, and ruling out other ideas that would only divert attention from Palestine as a destination for the refugees without offering other feasible alternatives.
    
    

    A group dinner for the German Jewish kids who were saved by the British people a month after Kristallnacht. It is their departure and rescue that triggered Ben-Gurion's antisemitic hate speech.

    The idea of erecting temporary camps for young people from Germany, financed by the Jewish people that had been raised before the Evian conference by junior members of the Zionist establishment, was now expressed by the chairperson of the Zionist Executive himself:"We will put up camps for hundreds of thousands. They will be better off here than in detention camps in Germany, and the Jewish people will take care of them after they get to Palestine”[D. Ben-Gurion Meeting Nov. 12, 1938 Central Zionist Archives S/100]. The feeling of emergency brought to the fore other, non-Zionist ideas. Werner (David) Senator, a representative of the non-Zionist wing of the Jewish Agency, put it bluntly: "Since I do not see the likelihood of rescuing the Jewish people in Palestine alone, I cannot reject proposals aimed at rescuing some of the people in other countries"[ibid]. But the unequivocal stand of the two prominent Zionist leaders -- Ben-Gurion and Weizmann -- was to focus exclusively on solutions connected to Palestine. (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants, p. 135)

    The arrival of Jewish refugees in France, Metz-1936

    The more we research Zionists' conduct in the 1930s & 40s, the more we find that we need to stretch our imagination. For example, it was brought to our attention how Zionist leaders attempted to starve funds that were allotted to Jewish refugees' resettlement and to redirect the funds to their communal enterprises in Palestine; here are the stunning details. Why not! It is a reasonable conclusion once you convince yourself that any Jewish refugee not coming to Palestine is as good as dead! Why do they need the funds if they are dead?
    
    To put things in perspective, here is a telegram (sent on April 2nd, 1938) from Albert Einstein and his friends at Princeton, thanking the FDR administration for their efforts on behalf of the persecuted in Germany and Austria! Now compare that with the Zionists' leadership response!

    Kindertransport children's ID Cards

    Finally, when such a comment by Ben-Gurion became known, David never retracted his antisemitic statement, and his carelessness was translated into a policy during WWII. Do you think, to this date, Zionists condemned Ben-Gurion's antisemitism? On the contrary, his surrogates came out to "explain" (i.e., Hasbarah), but that is not what Ben-Gurion meant! For example, David's official biographer (Shabtai Teveth) attempted to put Ben-Gurion's statement (about the German Jewish children) in a good light to imply: "That Ben-Gurion meant that the only deliverance for the Jewish people was in Palestine" although Teveth knew David couldn't save them either! (The Seventh Million, p. 28) Sweet lord, which is worse: what Ben-Gurion said? Or the spin, the gaslight, or the Hasbarah that was written to excuse it! It is obvious that Zionists didn't care, and that wasn't limited to Ben-Gurion only. Now contemplate this scenario: what if we discover that Zionists lobbied US Congress against a similar scheme (Wagner-Rogers Bill)? Would you be surprised? Please be seated first; here is Rabbi Stephen Wise (the most prominent Zionist in the US and a close friend to FDR) making Ben-Gurion's argument to the US senate in early 1939. Why should you be surprised? Didn't Zionists lobby against making Alaska a place of refuge for Jews? Rabbi Stephen Wise did exactly that in Sept. 1943. (see NYTimes, Jan. 4th 1983)

19. 
    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939
    How did Zionists respond to the Alaska Jewish refugees' resettlement scheme?
    
    We would not have published the following section if we couldn't confirm the facts from multiple sources. It was stunning to read how Rabbi Stephen S. Wise (along with his buddy Nahum Goldmann) attempted to frustrate this scheme (by weaponizing antisemitism as he did during the Rabbis' March) during WWII, which could have saved thousands of Jewish lives. You would not believe it until you read a confirmation at the Wyman Institute (a VERY pro-Zionist institute). That said, this is how Beit Zvi described how Zionist leaders responded to those who dared to push for such a rescue plan:

    When the idea of bringing Jews to Alaska was raised in the United States, a group of Poalei Zion activists there organized themselves to help further the plan. A committee was formed with the participation of Haim Greenberg. Arye Tartakower, David Wertheim. and others. Editorials appeared in the Poalei Zion press advocating the Alaska settlement project. "And then." our interlocutor related, “we were reprimanded by the World Zionist Organization leadership--severely reprimanded." Letters from the Yishuy demanded that they desist from their harmful activity. Berl Locker in London wrote a blistering article (which, unfortunately, we have not been able to locate). The case against them went like this: “How can you, Poalei Zion members, be propagandizing for Jewish settlement in Alaska? As Zionists, you must surely know that this is simply not done!” Of no avail was the argument that they did not intend to send to Alaska people who could be settled in Eretz-Israel, but only those who could not otherwise be saved. The annulment of the plan in the depths of Congressional bureaucracy spared the committee members from having to proclaim their surrender. But their behavior in the Dominican affair indicates that they learned well the lesson of their clash with the Zionist establishment. (Post Uganda: Zionism on Trial, p. 234-5)

    For completness sake, here is the relevant image grabs of what David Wyman wrote on Zionists' response to the Alaska scheme plus how Rabbi Wise and Nahum Goldman confronted the Bergson Group:
    
    
    
    Here is what David S. Wyman wrote concerning Zionist leaders' lobbying activities against the Baldwin-Rogers bill that urged FDR to rescue Europe's Jews, which they were successful in tabling in late in 1943. Note what Rabbi Stephen Wise (who represented American Jewry at the American Jewish Conference) said to the congress: he was against the resolution because Palestine was not the destination for Europe's Jewish refugees. Keep in mind that many of those Jews who were still alive in the ghettos ended up being murdered in the next year and a half:
    
    In the below presentation from the same author, please PAY ATTENTION to what was front and center on Zionist leaders' minds when they met FDR in early 1944:
    
    YES, ladies and gentelmen, this treason happened while LAST MILLION was a live; and lobbying to save them wasn't even present on their mind! As if the word KAPO was written on their foreheads in bold letters; Mazeltov Jews; give yourselves a BIG hand. Oddly at the time, it was Professor Philip Khouri Hitti of Princeton University (YES, the Gentile Arab) who was one of a handful who dared to ask US lawmakers to open American gates to save Europe's Jews!
    
    When the State Department attempted to find a haven for Europe's Jews in the December 1940s, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Nahum Goldman used their same old tactic (weaponizing antisemitism) to discourage the settlement of Jews in Latin America who told the state department employees that their activities: "might energize the anti-Semitic feelings" (as if Palestinians were so welcoming of more Jewish immigrants), see Politics of Rescue, p. 101. Remind us please, how many Jews were murdered unnecessary because of such policies? Who speaks for the dead?

20. When German and Austrian Jews were endangered in the late 1930s, and 32 countries gathered to help them at Evian - France to deal with the Jewish refugee crisis, you would think Zionists gave them a helping hand?

    

    On the contrary, the evidence from Israeli and Zionist sources shows that Zionists did the exact opposite by discouraging any German Jewish emigration except to Palestine (The Jewish Trail of Tears, p. 149-50, 264, 267, and 268). Actually, we shall prove soon that Zionist leaders hoped and plotted to make Evian a failure. Sadly, the mainstream media and many historians framed the Conference as a failure and pinned the blame on FDR, which we shall address in detail at the end of this section.
    
    To quickly make our case, we are compelled to cite Wikipedia (by far a pro-Zionist platform) directly in the following paragraph, which shows an assessment of the memorandums submitted at the conference by the five leading American Jewish organizations plus the Jewish Agency. Honestly, Wikipedia's articulation is second to none:

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    According to the JTA, during the discussions, five leading Jewish organisations sent a joint memorandum discouraging mass Jewish emigration from central Europe. Reacting to the conferences' failure, the AJC declined to directly criticise American policy, while Jonah Wise blamed the British government and praised "American generosity". Zionist leaders Chaim Weizmann and David Ben-Gurion of the Jewish Agency were both firmly opposed to Jews being allowed entry into Western countries, hoping that the pressure of hundreds of thousands of refugees having nowhere to go would force Britain to open Palestine to Jewish immigration. In a similar vein, Abba Hillel Silver of the United Jewish Appeal refused to assist the resettlement of Jews in the United States saying he saw "no particular good" in what the conference was trying to achieve. The guiding principle of Zionist leaders was to press only for immigration to Palestine. Yoav Gelber [a notorious Nakba denier and a big Zionist] concluded that "if the conference were to lead to a mass emigration to places other than Palestine, the Zionist leaders were not particularly interested in its work." Years later, while noting that American and British Jewish leaders were "very helpful to our work behind the scenes, [but] were not notably enthusiastic about it in public", Edward Turnour who led the British delegation recalled the "stubbornly unrealistic approach" of some leading Zionists who insisted on Palestine as the only option for the refugees. [Here is the saved Image grab just in case Wikipedia censorship kicks in on high gear.]

    
    The arrival of a Kindertransport at the Nijmegen train station in 1938

    [If you are interested in reviewing Wikipedia's Zionist sources, the presentation is damning which you can review online for free: Here is Yoav Gelber's presentation, and here is Michael Laitman's. If you have the time, you may find it interesting to review what Allan Wells wrote in Tropical Zion as well.]

    The renowned hardcore Zionist, Edwin Black, wrote a very similar assessment of Zionist leaders' thought processes in the 1930s. Frankly, it can not be clearer:

    During the first days after Hitler's boycott against Germany's Jews [early 1933], the Zionist movement's hierarchy in Europe and America was busy trying to plot a course of action. Their objective was not to mobilize Jewish and non-Jewish resources for the preservation of Jewish rights in Germany. Rather, they sought a means of turning the miseries of German Jewry into a new impetus for a Jewish Homeland in Palestine.
    
    Zionist leadership had, in fact, refused to oppose the Nazi expulsion ideology from the outset. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 78-9)
    
    [Actually, David Ben-Gurion described the process of exploiting Jewish pain and suffering while appeasing the Nazis as the LEVER, and that by itself is very telling. Allow that to sink in for a minute and think!]

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens, how come you're not letting them in?

    Oddly, Mr. Black while discussing the Evian Conference at the end of his book, he didn't even allude to offers from Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, British Guiana, Mandano-Philippines, Rodisia, British and Portuguese African colonies, and Dominican Republic to receive German and Austrian Jewish refugees, and portrayed Palestine as the ONLY available and viable destination, which was and still is big lie! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 377). Based on our research, we've found that this big lie is very widely spread among Jewish historians although Latin America alone saved close to 100,000 German and Austrian Jews as of 1939 (see Simone Gigliotti, p. 24-5). On top of that Palestinians revolted for three years in the 1930s against Jewish immigration and the British Mandate relented to their demand in the White Paper of 1939 (which effectively reversed the Balfour Declaration). In a nutshell, the indigenous people and the occupying colonial power made it clear that Palestine cannot be a refuge for those who are plotting to replace Palestinians. Thus, Palestine was neither available nor viable, especially to Europe's Jews; period.

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    To dig further into Zionists' mindset just before WWII was underway, you've to contemplate Ben-Gurion's reaction when he heard that Great Britain would accept 10,000 German Jewish children refugees in late 1938 (only four months after Evian and a month after the infamous Kristallnacht pogrom). It was chilling to read Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech in December 1938:

    "If I knew it was possible to save all [Jewish] children of Germany by their transfer to England and only half of them by transferring them to Eretz-Yisrael, I would choose the latter----because we are faced not only with the accounting of these [Jewish] children but also with the historical accounting of the Jewish People." (Righteous Victims, p. 162 and The Burning Ground by Shabtai Teveth) Ben-Gurion was so concerned that the "human conscience" might bring various countries to open their doors to those persecuted German Jews [God forbid]. He saw this as a threat and warned: Zionist is in danger. (The Seventh Million p. 28 & NY Times, July 12th, 1987)

    Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

    Pay attention to: A) How Ben-Gurion used the word "save" four years before the Final Solution was in the picture, which confirms that Zionist leaders spoke of Shoah in the past tense before it happened. Thus in Zionists' mind, the calamity is happening and nothing could stop it; therefore, it should be exploited. B) How Ben-Gurion didn't even thank the British people for helping the refugees. C) Hitler's infamous hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan. 30th, 1939, almost immediately followed Ben-Gurion's speech by two months; which leads us to believe that David was speaking to Hitler because he (referring to David) refused to retract his antisemitic hate speech although he was heavily criticized for it.
    
    Refusing to take back his antisemitism is very telling. That by itself proves David's contempt for diaspora Jews! Actually, it has been documented that Be-Gurion doubled down on his earlier antisemitism tens days later when he repeated a very similar statement. Anyhow, if you are interested, here is our complete analysis about this infamous speech! We have dissected it from multiple angles.

    John Quigley (whom Wikipedia cited earlier) wrote the following jaw dropping paragraphs. He exposed us to many details about Evian; here are the relevant portions. Honestly, we highly recommend reading the whole book, it will prove how much Zionists cared about saving Jews, and how recklessly Zionists endangered Jews to save their skins. We have inserted our comments in brackets and italics to give an added context:

    How did Zionist leaders respond when British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

    Representing Britain, Lord Winterton (Edward Tournour) noted, “It has been represented in some quarters that the whole question, at least of the Jewish refugees, could be solved if only the gates of Palestine were thrown open to Jewish immigrants without restriction of any kind.” That was an obvious reference to the Zionist view. But Lord Winterton explained that “Palestine is not a large country,” and “there are special considerations arising out of the terms of the mandate.” That was a reference to the need to protect the existing population of Palestine. Lord Winterton told the delegates that “the question of Palestine stands upon a footing of its own and cannot usefully be taken into account at the present stage in connection with the general problems that are under consideration at this meeting.”3
    
    Weizmann’s approach was precisely the opposite of Britain’s. Addressing the Zionist-oriented World Conference for Palestine a few weeks after the Evian conference, Weizmann said that Palestine must be the destination for emigrants leaving Europe. “Our position today has become so acutely critical,” said Weizmann with reference to the Jews of Europe, “we must demand a permanent solution to our problem. That solution can be found only in Palestine the national home of a homeless people.” For Weizmann, the immigration of displaced Jews into Western countries was no solution. [similarly, around the same time, David Ben-Gurion described saving Jews outside Palestine as Witch Doctor's Medicine]

    In May 1939, MS St. Louis in Havana was refused to unload its Jewish passengers in Cuba & US, and it was forced to go back to Antwerp. Jewish Agency refused to give any of its passengers immigration visas to Palestine. Over 250 of the passengers perished during the Holocaust.

    Ben-Gurion feared that resettling Jews outside Palestine would erode support for Zionism among world Jewry. In a December 17, 1938 letter to the Zionist Executive, Ben-Gurion wrote, “If Jews will have to choose between the refugees, saving Jews from concentration camps, and assisting a national museum in Palestine, mercy will have the upper hand and the whole energy of the people will be channeled into saving Jews from various countries.” In that eventuality, Ben Gurion wrote, “Zionism will be struck off the agenda.”[Note how Zionists ONLY cared about their survivor, MOST IMPORTANTLY how Jewish suffering was only the LEVER to save their skins]
    
    In the letter, Ben-Gurion castigated Britain for seeking to deal with the issue of Jewish refugees separately from the issue of Palestine. “Britain is trying,” he wrote, “to separate the issue of the refugees from that of Palestine.” Ben-Gurion feared, “If we allow a separation between the refugee problem and the Palestine problem, we are risking the existence of Zionism.”
    
    A leading Zionist who, after the Second World War, would chair the American Section of the Jewish Agency, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, was of the same mind. Shortly after the Evian conference, Rabbi Silver was approached by James McDonald, whom President Roosevelt had appointed to advise him on refugee issues. McDonald asked Rabbi Silver, who then headed the United Jewish Appeal, for help in resettling European Jews in the United States. Rabbi Silver turned him down flat. “I was shocked,” McDonald recounted, by his attitude “toward the Evian effort.” Rabbi Silver told McDonald that he saw “no particular good” in what Roosevelt was trying to do at Evian.
    
    

    The Economic Bulletin Of The Anti-Nazi-League, Sept. 1934 Report

    The refusal to encourage the West to take in Jews at risk in Europe continued even as wartime atrocities unfolded. At the Extraordinary Zionist Conference held at the Biltmore Hotel in New York in 1942, Nahum Goldmann expressed alarm at what the Nazi government might do to the Jews if it were to find itself on the edge of defeat. Goldmann spelled out a doomsday scenario. “Who can foretell what the Nazi regime, once brought into the position of the surrounded killer, will do in the last moment before it goes down to shame?” Like Ben Gurion in 1938, Goldmann focused exclusively on Palestine as a venue for Jews seeking to leave Europe. Historian Aaron Berman (see p. 99-102), recounting Goldmann’s Biltmore speech, commented, “Surprisingly, Goldmann didn’t propose any program to come to the immediate aid of those threatened with annihilation. Instead, he called for the establishment of a Jewish Commonwealth that could absorb two million Jewish refugees in the decade following the war.”[Therefore, although Zionists knew the calamity is near (the Holocaust started just after the Baltimore conference) and actually could happen any moment, still they didn't waver from their fixation on Palestine!]

    Fake Valore: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    There was logic to the Zionist Organization’s position if one accepts the premise that Jews would be safe only if they had their own state. [This was the biggest lie Zionists sold to others and to themselves: The mass majority of Jews were saved outside of Palestine even after Palestine was ethnically cleansed out of its people to make room for persecuted European Jews. Despite of Zionists assertion (that "Jews could be only saved in Palestine"), Europe's Jews STILL refused to immigrate in mass to Palestine who mostly voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles, not to Palestine. More often than not, Jews only chose Palestine when no other option was available; which is a fact that still persists to this date. That is why Ben-Gurion airlifted Arab Jews after Nakba in early 1950s and 1960s to populate the emptied country] At the Biltmore Hotel conference, a coalition of Zionist groups came out publicly to declare their aim as being a “commonwealth” to encompass the territory of Palestine. This became the position of the Zionist Organization. But Palestine was clearly not large enough to handle more than a small percentage of the world’s Jews, even if they all felt the need to settle there. Even so, the Zionists could argue, a safe haven should be available for Jews.
    
    

    Shukri al-Jamal's Palace in the Talibiya neighborhood in Jerusalem two days after its completion and just before Zionist Jews looted it from him and his family

    At the same time, the position of the Zionist leadership opened them to the criticism that they were leaving Jews to die in Germany, for lack of an immediately available destination for their resettlement. The Zionists purported to be champions of world Jewry, yet their policy arguably left Jews in unnecessary jeopardy. To be sure, the Western governments were not anxious to take in large numbers of Jews, even as the clouds of genocide were gathering in Germany. But the Zionist movement contributed to the reluctance of the Western governments. In upholding strict immigration quotas, those governments could take comfort in the fact that their policy was approved by the Zionists. (The International Diplomacy of Israel's Founders by John Quigley, p. 50-51, 51-52 & 52-53)
    
    [Even in the law of the jungle and in the best-case situation, Zionists' conduct could only be characterized as intentional reckless endangerment. How Jews (especially American Jews) slurp their garbage is truly mind-boggling! How Jews are not anti-Zionists hundreds of times more than Palestinians is surprising. It should be noted that when Trump was the US President, Zionist leaders replicated this dangerous pattern not only with Trump but also with other fascists and known antisemites around the world! Honestly, we wonder: which European antisemites Zionists didn't sleep with! When fomenting antisemitism wasn't good for Zionism! We wonder; why change a winning formula!!]

    The Evian Conference: America, Keep The Jews Out!

    Hoarding Resettlement And Rescue Funds

    For Zionist leaders to ensure that Palestine stayed as the ONLY haven for European Jewry, they had to starve resettlement funds and to hoard as much as possible of the rescue budget (for the most part, Zionists got their way). For example, in preparation for the Evian Conference, a few Zionists at the Jewish Agency dared to suggest a non-Zionist solution to save German and Austrian Jewry; however, the proposal was nixed immediately by the leadership; here are the details from the Israeli historian Aviva Halamish:

    The discussion reveals a clear awareness of the limited potential of Palestine as a destination for German Jews. Having admitted that Palestine was unable to solve the problem of the Third Reich’s Jews, some members of the Executive were willing to have the Jewish Agency be involved in non-Zionist solutions, and proposed to ask the conference to work out an agreement with Germany on the orderly exit of the Jews with some of their property over ten years. One third of these would emigrate to Palestine, one third to the U.S., and the rest to other countries. Most of the members, however, insisted on limiting Jewish Agency involvement to Palestine, leaving other agencies to deal with other destinations.

    The discussion also exposes the concerns about the irrelevancy of Palestine as a solution to the crisis of German Jews, not only because of the political restrictions imposed by the British and the severe economic situation, but also because of the Arab Revolt, which had then reached its peak. The chairperson of the Zionist Executive, David Ben-Gurion, phrased it thus: "In the eyes of the world, the situation in Palestine seems similar to that of Spain [afflicted by civil war]. A country experiencing riots, where bombs are thrown every day, people are killed, and the unemployment and economic stagnation prevail -- a country like that is no place for solving the refugee question." Knowing that Palestine could not provide a meaningful answer to the plight of the Jews of the Reich, members of the Executive worried lest the conference might totally eliminate Palestine from the list of immigration destinations, with the result that Jewish organisations would divert the contributions for aiding their refugee brethren to other countries. (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants By Aviva Halamish, p. 131-2 and see also Beit-Zvi who provided the JAE's leaked CCed meeting minutes -- which Aviva summarized, it is quite chilling to read, p. 155-58 and the same thing was repeated in late 1941, see p. 222)
    
    [Aviva's earlier assessment referred to some Zionists who dared to suggest non-Zionist solutions for the refugee crisis. After reading Beit-Zvi's work (see chapters 7 & 8), we can safely assume she was referring to Arthur Ruppin who reluctantly executed Weizmann's and Ben-Gurion's evil mission at Evian (e.g. resisting any haven except for Palestine), see page 161 for the details.]

    Just in case you think this was a one off thing and it didn't reflect Zionists' policy during the pre-Nakba period; please think twice. Here again is the renowned big Zionist, Edwin Black, spelling out Zionists' policies in clear English. Please be seated first:

    "All of the non-Zionist schemes for relieving the plight of German Jews required vast amounts of donations, which Jews and non-Jews alike were willing to give. But the Zionist movement saw these relief efforts as a threat because the solutions excluded Palestine. More importantly, the donations would divert funds from the Zionist movement. In other words, here was a Jewish crisis, and not only would the answer lie in lands other than Palestine, but the Zionist movement would suffer economic ruin in the process" (p. 90)

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    Zionist leaders behaved the same way when the Bergson Group attempted to mobilize American public opinion to fight the Nazis and to rescue Europe's Jews. Zionist leaders were worried that Bergson Group's plans would divert donations and other resources from building their future state (Aaron Berman, p. 130-31 & 118-123). To torpedo the Group's efforts, they even weaponized antisemitism against them.
    
    A similar response happened from Zionists when Great Britain promoted British Guiana as a haven for European Jewry; they ripped it a apart because they were terrified that would divert funds from their colonization activities in Palestine (see Politics of Rescue by Henry L. Feingold, p. 110-111).
    
    To our surprise, the policy of hoarding rescue funds was even implemented to a level we could have imagined. This policy was also implemented to disrupt the flow of food parcels entering the ghettos through the Red Cross in early 1943. Haim Greenberg, a prominent American Zionist leader and intellectual, wrote an article titled "Break the Siege" in protest against the Zionists' efforts that contributed to the starvation of Europe's Jewish population during this critical time (see Beit-Zvi, p. 282). It seems that the Zionists' betrayal knew no bounds. In their "defense": why spend money on those who were going to die anyhow? We are certain many Zionists to this date still would rationalize their treason as such!

    Chaim Weizmann's Infamous Letter To Rabbi Stephen Wise In June, 1938 Before The Evian Conference

    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in "empty" Palestine

    Aviva Halamish's and Edwin Black's earlier assessments (on hoarding resettlement and rescue funds) are in sync 100% with a letter (written in preparation for the Evian Conference) addressed to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of the World Jewish Congress and distributed to all Jewish Agency Executives (JAE) from Dr. Weizmann (although written by Dr. Georg Landauer the head of ZVfd). Note how Zionist leadership's top priorities were: A) how rescue and relief donations to refugees could impede Zionist plans; which explains why the word "rescue" had negative connotations to Zionists in the 1930s and 40s, and B) how to turn Jewish suffrage into a political and media lever to force Great Britain to open Palestine for unfettered immigration. No emphasis whatsoever on Jewish suffrage. Simply, Jewish pain was looked upon as a tool; Jewish plight was only the LEVER:

    June 13, 1938
    
    Dear Dr. Wise,

    which it is proposed to be held at Evian at the beginning of July in connection with the Jewish refugee problem. Dr. Weizmann knows that you are associated with the preparations that are being made in America for this Conference, and I presume that you yourself are informed of the preparations that are going on in Gt. Russell Street [the office of the Zionist Executive in London], as well as by the Council for German Jewry. Dr. Ruppin is taking a deep interest in the forthcoming Conference and is preparing a memorandum on the role of Palestine vis-a-vis the refugee problem. I am writing this letter to you at the request of Dr. Weizmann as we are very much concerned in case the issue is presented at the Conference in a manner which may harm the work for Palestine.

    Anti-Semitic German Cartoon: No One Wants Jews By Philipp Rupprecht: Der Stürmer 20 1938

    Even if the Conference will not place countries other than Palestine in the front for Jewish immigration, there will certainly be public appeals which will tend to overshadow the importance of Palestine. Since our aim is to turn the Conference into a force which would influence the Jews as well as the British Government to do something real for the Jewish people, we must do our utmost to bring Palestine to the fore and stress its importance and its capacity to absorb large numbers of Jewish refugees.
    
    We feel all the more concern as it may bind Jewish organizations to collect large sums of money for assisting Jewish refugees, and these collections are likely to interfere with our own campaigns. It may be that the British delegation to the Conference will receive instructions not to give specific assurances as regards Palestine. Such an eventuality makes it all the more imperative for us to stress the importance of Palestine both during the period of preparation and at the Conference itself. We are convinced that Palestine offers possibilities for the immigration of tens of thousands of Jewish refugees who can be absorbed in agriculture, in new industrial enterprises, and in various public works, provided the necessary number of certificates [entry permits] will be obtained and funds are placed at our disposal. We know that you are watching the situation and would be much obliged to you if you could inform us of the attitude of our American friends towards the Conference, and whether you and any other of our friends from America will be there.
    
    Yours sincerely,

    Dr. Georg Landauer (Post Uganda: Zionism on Trial, p. 153-154)

    Analysis of Wiezmann's Letter

    Zionist Newspaper Cartoon: Davar, 1938

    Mr. Weizmann, Ms. Halamish, and Mr. Black could not have made it clearer: devoting much of the rescue funds outside of Palestine would render the whole Zionist project mute. Beit-Zvi's analysis (see p. 154 and 161) is second to none: Zionist leaders hoped and plotted to make Evian an utter failure (note how Arthur Ruppin reluctantly executed Weizmann's and Ben-Gurion's evil mission; see also how Christopher Sykes and others framed it)! Note how Zionist leaders were terrified that European people could become sympathetic to Jewish refugees' plight, which might force European nations to soften their hearts and open their gates to Jewish refugees. As a consequence, Zionists would be deprived of much-needed funds! Yes, saving Jews in countries other than Palestine was considered a disaster to Zionism (actually, David Ben-Gurion worded it as such). As if Dr. Weizmann was trying to say: Zionists are much better off if Evian fails. Well, Ben-Gurion was known to have said something similar around the same time frame as well:

    The Zionist Version Of Lebensraum: A Map Of The Great Israel

    The Jews could have only one destination - Eretz Yisrael. So in June 1938, shortly before Allied representatives met in Evian, France, to seek ways of rescuing Jews, Ben-Gurion frankly voiced his concern to colleagues in the Jewish Agency Executive. He did "not know if the [ Evian] conference will open the gates of other countries [Oh, God forbid]. . . . But I am afraid [ it ] might cause tremendous harm to Eretz Yisrael and Zionism . . . . Our main task is to reduce the harm, the danger and the disaster [Ben-Gurion was referring to harming the yishuv; he was not referring to harming diaspora Jews; the was the LEVER] . . . and the more we emphasize the terrible distress of the Jewish masses in Germany, Poland and Rumania, the more damage we shall cause ." So be silent, Ben-Gurion cautioned his comrades. . . . And in the silence . . . Evian [Conference] failed. (see NY Times -- June 12th, 1987)
    
    [David Ben-Gurion repeated the same argument ten years later when he was so worried that Americans would soften their hearts and let in Jewish refugees in the DP camps. We guess some habits die hard. ]

    To our surprise, this policy was implemented to the teeth during WWII when 7/8th of the rescue fund was diverted to build the state ahead of its time. This letter reflected Zionists' policies and mindset for decades before Nakba! It should be noted that this fixation on Palestine persisted even during WWII and after the war was concluded in the displaced persons (D.P.) camps. In Ben-Gurion's terminology, he wanted to orchestrate a Jewish refugee crisis in a way Zionists could exploit the crisis by turning it into the lever that would turn Palestine into a Jewish majority, thus clearly the path for the creation of the "Jewish state."

    German Jews Emigrating to Palestine at Anhalter Train Station, September 1936.

    If you have the time, we urge the reader to contemplate the Jewish Agency's nine-page Memorandum submitted at the conference. Although it was written in French, it contains valuable statistics (please let us know if there is a translated version); it will prove our main point: Zionists were not interested in any solution except for Palestine as the destination for Europe's Jews! Is this the reaction of an organization that cares about Jewish lives?
    
    We were stunned to find how Zionists in the US were weaponizing antisemitism as a tool to frustrate receiving Jewish refugees to America by claiming that any further immigration would increase American antisemitism (Alabama Holocaust Education Center: America and the Holocaust, p. 5 )! The same argument was made once Alaska was suggested as a possible haven for persecuted European Jews! This is a classic example that shows how Zionists weaponized antisemitism not only to persecute Palestinians (who were made collectively liable for Mufti's actions during WWII), but also antisemitism was used to increase Jewish suffering as well. Why not! All could be justified in the name of "saving" Europe's Jews!

    Was the Evian Conference a failure as often it is being portrayed in the media?

    
    NYTimes, Feb 19th, 1939

    The mainstream media and many historians often paint the Evian Conference as a failure. Based on our research below, we found the exact opposite, and such framing only evolved a decade later and way after the Holocaust was concluded! Actually, at the time, Zionists, Non-Zionists, and the Jewish press all praised the conference after it was concluded (see Post Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 161-163; pay attention to what Beit-Zvi wrote on p. 163), but let us address why the Conference was convened in the first place and based on its objectives it should be judged. That said, be careful not to judge events that happened before WWII from the prism of events that occured during and after the war; otherwise, you fall into the fallacy of judging the past from the present (Zionists are famous for exploiting this fallacy). Thus, Evian had to be judged as if the Holocaust didn't happen; the Holocaust wasn't on the Nazis' minds until late 1941:

    In May 1939, MS St. Louis in Havana was refused to unload its Jewish passengers in Cuba & US, and it was forced to go back to Antwerp. Jewish Agency refused to give any of its passengers immigration visas to Palestine. Over 250 of the passengers perished during the Holocaust.

    A) FDR's main goal was to increase public awareness of the refugee crisis brewing a year before WWII. Like today in the West, the public was anti-immigration, especially after the Great Depression, and increasing immigration quotas was political suicide. YES, in the late 1930s, the general public didn't approve of increasing immigration to all people, and not just to the Jews (case in point, see how the Americans kicked out over 1.5 million Mexicans, many of whom were US citizens, in the 1930s). That said, Evian and Kristallnacht helped FDR make the case that resettlement solutions had to be found. FDR (and the British, too) must have known that Evian couldn't solve the refugee crisis. FDR's main objective was to change public opinion, which would give him the political capital to propose concrete solutions (many solutions were pursued after the conference, i.e., the Supplemental Jewish Homeland and Alaska scheme, which were all opposed by Zionist leaders). On the other hand, the events were evolving faster than FDR's policies were growing. For more details, please read chapters two and five in Politics of Rescue, and you shall find that our assessment is the closest to what happened. In our humble opinion, FDR was trying to do the right thing (sadly, the mainstream media and Zionists portrayed him negatively; see Beit-Zvi's fair assessment of FDR's policies for more details), but unfortunately, the American Jewish community behaved passively in the best of scenarios who rarely gave FDR a hand. During the war, American Jewry's main focus was creating the "Jewish state," and rescuing Europe's Jews took a back seat. To put it bluntly, any rescue scheme EXCEPT for Palestine was fought tooth and nail by Zionists. As we have proven here, Zionist leaders in practice made sure that Europe's Jews were left with two options: either they made Aliyah to Palestine to join the yishuv or go to Auschwitz and lobbied like hell against any third alternative. Ironically, this continued even after WWII ended in the DP camps. For completeness, we urge you to read our American Jewish Conference section for more details.

    "Report On The State of Palestine" issued on Match 28th, 1921 by the Third Palestine Arab Congress to Winston Churchill

    B) When Jewish responses to the conference were examined, we were shocked that many Zionists and non-Zionists were satisfied (see Post Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 161-163). Even the Jewish press was encouraged by the conference's resolutions. We shall prove soon that their optimism was factually based when we examine the number of pledges from the US, GB, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and many others in Latin and South America. This confirms our earlier assessment: Evian aimed to kick the ball, so to speak to make the public opinion more receptive to receiving refugees (meaning Evian was only the first step in a five-year process, see The Intergovernmental Committee). This fact alone implies that Evian was framed as a failure way after the fact by the so-called historians.
    
    Also, keep in mind that it was Zionist leaders who were hoping and plotting to make Evian a failure, as we pointed out earlier. We were shocked to discover that it was the Nazis (along with the Zionist leadership) were first to recognize Evian as a failure because they were looking for an immediate solution, and when that didn't happen that was one of the contributing factors that drove them to formulate the Final Solution four years later (the conference drove Nazis to conclude no one cared which was the prelude for Kristallnacht). Anyhow, to get a clearer picture, we urge you to contemplate how Beit-Zvi had framed  the events and how historians fell into the Zionists' narrative way after the fact by judging the past from the present, which is a fallacy:

    
    Why most Kapos were Zionist activists? Click the picture for the details.

    The Zionists, who did not share in the general sentiments, were also not interested in the attainment of the goal the conference had set itself The overwhelming majority of them, with the exception of the leaders at the very top of the movement, hoped for a side-effect--pressure on Britain--which would promote the cause of Zionism and direct to Palestine a flow of refugees which, because of the conditions prevailing in the country, could not possibly assume the dimensions enabling a solution of the problem. Their bitter complaints well reflected their sincere disappointment at an unrealized hope. But their laments concerning the "insult" and the "pain" they felt because the nations of the world were not allowing the Jews into their countries, were remote from truth and from sincerity. It is not difficult to imagine their reaction had those reserved speeches concluded with a call to Britain to open the gates of aliyah to Palestine. In that event the speakers and their governments would have been instantly transformed from indifferent evil-doers into the righteous of the earth.

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    To adduce the Zionist complaints as the reaction of the Jewish people to the Evian Conference is of course, a complete distortion which perverts reality and rules out any possibility of genuine historical study. As we remarked above, this distortion was abetted in no small measure by the calamitous chain of events which brought about the destruction of German Jewry and which thereby constituted psychological "proof-- a view of the past refracted through the prism of the present. It is a view which is willingly accepted by the preachers of the "all the world is against us" school of thought. Its root source lies in the territorialist fears of post-Ugandan Zionism. (Post Ugandan Zionism, p. 163)

    C) Soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom a few months after the Conference, Schacht & Rublee Plans was ironed out in early 1939, but sadly, it didn't materialize and the window of opportunity wasn't exploited (actually, Zionists were against this plan too; see From Boycott To Annihilation, p. 144, and Beit-Zvi, p. 182-96). The international reaction for the 1938 pogrom was so sever to a point that forced Hitler to present a viable offer that was much more favorable than Haavara (see Beit-Zvi, p. 180-96)! Sadly, the vast majority of American Jewry (Zionists, non-Zionists, and anti-boycott Jews alike)- were against it; all dropped the ball (please inspect our detailed research on this little-known subject that could have changed history). Sometimes, the truth is much stranger than fiction! In this regard, it should be emphasized that until August of 1940, Hitler contemplated relocating German Jews to Madagascar. Of course, the simpleton will say: Well, that was before the Holocaust. True, but as we have shown earlier, Zionist leaders NEVER WAVERED from their insane policy, which persisted at the height of the calamity and even after WWII was concluded in the DP camps!
    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!

    D) We found many countries that were willing to accept Jewish refugees as long they were self-supporting , which was very similar to Palestine's Capitalist visa program during the pre-Nakba period. Therefore, it was not just the Dominican Republic who offered to take in Jewish refugees, but also the British Guiana, Mandano-Philippines, Brazil, Rodisia, British & Portuguese African colonies, former African German colonies, Bolivia, and Peru. Actually, during the conference, Brazil offered to take in 40,000 German and Austrian Jews per year. On top of that, we were shocked to discover that in the critical years between 1938 and 1942, tens of thousands of Europe's penniless Jews (especially from Germany) already found refuge in Mexico, Latin and South America. For instance, Bolivia alone accepted 20,000 refugees between 1938 and 1941, Mexico accepted something similar (NPR wrote an excellent article about this in 2015). Thus, those German and Austrian Jews who were saved in these areas numbered between 9 to 10 times as many as those who made it to Palestine, and the Haavara Agreement played no role in saving them. What was tragic was that when the State Department attempted to find a haven for Europe's Jews in the December 1940s, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Nahum Goldman used their same old tactic (weaponizing antisemitism) to discourage the resettlement of Jews in Latin America and told the state department employees that their activities: "might energize the anti-Semitic feelings" (as if Palestinians were so welcoming of more Jewish immigrants, see Politics of Rescue, p. 101). Just imagine this counterfactual scenario: what if Zionists managed to close Latin and South America to Jewish immigration during those critical years, then the Holocaust would have been much worse! Anyhow, if you are interested in the boring details, we urge you to read Beit-Zvi's account (see p. 223-40) on how the scheme to save Jews in the Dominican Republic (who asked for little financial support in return) was torpedoed via a sham of a so-called study by the Brooking Institute.

    We believe it is worthwhile contemplating what Mr. Zvi wrote on page 236. Mr. Zvi made a compelling argument: if the stream of Jewish refugees was arriving in Portugal and Spain during WWII, why were they not directed to the Dominican Republic, especially when the Republic was eager to take them? Since the refugees could not leave fast enough, that impacted how many refugees those two countries would let in new refugees. Mr. Zvi indicated that the Jewish Agency functionaries discouraged and obstructed such a route. He didn't let the Joint get off the hook either; it seems all dropped the ball intentionally or unintentionally. It is strongly suspected that the same evil method was also replicated in Turkey. This means that if the Jewish refugees were not heading to Palestine for one reason or another, the Jewish Agency stifled any efforts to find a haven for them. Honestly, it was chilling to read his assessment; this argument has very serious consequences. Mr. Zvi is making the point that many Jews would have been saved if the refugees had been shipped out fast enough.

    Kindertransport children's ID Cards: How did Zionist leaders respond when British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

    To further prove our point, notice how Latin America alone absorbed close to 100,000 German Jews as of 1939 despite the restrictions and obstacles, which was slightly more than what the US had taken in the 1930s (Simone Gigliotti, p. 24-5). If we discover soon that Zionists played a big part in scuttling these schemes, would you be surprised? If they did it at the height of the calamity (even to Alaska and in the DP camps after WWII ended), why would you be surprised? If the subject of the Dominican Republic colony of Sosua interests you, we found this news clip after the war in May 1946, which you might find helpful. Also, Tropical Zion by Allen Wells seems to be a well-written book (Google lets you preview many pages for free) about Sosua; on Amazon.com, it has a lot of great reviews from Jews who knew the author. Based on our little research, we found that many of those German Jews immigrated to the US, but it seems a few decided to stay. Here is Sosua's community official website; you may find it helpful.

    The arrival of a Kindertransport at Waterloo Station, Feb. 2nd, 1939

    In a nutshell, many countries felt it was unfair for them to take in German Jews, especially when Nazis just completely dispossessed them, which was understandable (please note that Nazis offered to drop much of the flight tax in early 1939, as we've outlined earlier). From these countries' point of view, this was like giving the Nazi war machine a helping hand, which is, of course, understandable (for more detail, see Politics of Rescue, chapter two, especially p. 31 - 34, and p. 39; see also Beit-Zvi on p. 182). Therefore, the policy of not taking in Jews wasn't based on antisemitism (as the mainstream media and Jewish historians portray it to be), which sadly enforces the Zionist narrative! During the 1930s and 40s, the majority of countries hadn't recovered yet from the great depression, and simply, they were against mass migration unless they were self-sustaining. In other words, it was precisely like nowadays in the West; they had it with migrants and refugees irrespective of their color and religion (you might find it helpful to see how Beit-Zvi framed it; his analysis came to our attention way after we published our work and both are in sync). At length, we have addressed this subject in depth in another section.

    E) Beit-Zvi made a very compelling argument. If we judge Evian using the prism of events as of July 1938 (meaning Evian should be considered as if WWII and the Holocaust didn't happen), then actually, Evian looked quite promising, which explains why many Jews (Zionists and non-Zionists alike) welcomed it. The proposals at hand from the 32 countries were enough to find a home for the mass majority of German and Austrian Jewry within four to five years. Sadly, Hitler's wanted a faster solution, the events were developing at a much faster pace than FDR could react to, and much of Europe became Nazi-occupied within two to three years since Evian:

    The conference participants, whose primary concern was to evaluate its results in securing places of refuge for the emigrants, were faced with the need to find 400,000 such places within a period of three to five years-let us say, within four years on the average. The number was daunting, but the prospects for implementing the project were deemed realistic. Those at Evian were conscious of the fact that the conference was largely a preparatory stage leading to the substantive work which would be done by the permanent Intergovernmental Committee. Intensive behind-the-scenes lobbying was known to be in progress, backed by American diplomatic pressure. But even in this preliminary stage, behind the somewhat forbidding exterior of mostly non-committal speeches, as described in the previous chapter, promising initial results were achieved.
    
    First, the United States pledged to admit annually the full joint quota of immigrants from Germany and Austria, a total of 27,370 persons, or about 109,000 in four years. Reinforcing this pledge was the fact, undoubtedly known at Evian, that the American consuls in Germany were issuing entry permits to German Jews at twice the rate of the previous year and four times that of 1936.
    
    The Brazilian delegate at Evian, Helio Lobo, indicated in his speech that his country could accept over 40,000 emigrants a year Although he gave no explicit assurance, there was no reason to think that he had voiced this figure solely in order to impress his audience- Brazil it seemed, genuinely intended to admit refugees on a scale at least approaching this number, if not the entire figure. As we saw, this was also the understanding of Ruppin, who met with Lobo and reported to his colleagues on the Jewish Agency Executive on prospects for substantial Jewish immigration to Brazil.

    Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?

    The Dominican Republic indicated that it would agree to accept 100,000 refugees, and submitted an official proposal to this effect two weeks later in London. But it may be assumed, especially after the highly sympathetic speech of the country's delegate to Evian, that the conference was aware of this general intention, if not of the details. These three pledges, if carried out in full, would have provided for three-quarters of Germany's refugees within four years. To this we can add the more reserved pledges of Uruguay and Argentina, the probability that Palestine, all the difficulties notwithstanding, could absorb a few tens of thousands, and the promises of the Western European countries to go on giving the refugees temporary refuge until they could find permanent homes. Taking into account that all this was meant to be only the commencement of the operation, we must conclude that the satisfaction and optimism expressed by everyone interested in the success of the conference were grounded in reality-the reality of July 1938.
    
    The turbulent events of the months and years that followed showed that some of the assessments had been mistaken, and that some of the expectations were not realized. But a close analysis will demonstrate that the success of Evian was not of an ephemeral character. The outcome of the effort made by 32 countries that convened in order to help the Jews held out rescue possibilities on a large scale, and perhaps also the possibility of averting disaster on a vast scale. But all this was dependent on the non-interference of organizations whose affiliation could have been expected to make them the most interested of all in rescue. (Post-Ugandan Zionism, p. 170)

    Here is the unvarnished truth: Evian was framed as failure way after the fact, and it was part of the conspiracy of shifting the blame from Zionists' policy onto others such as FDR, Churchill, and, of course, Zionists' most favorite patsy Mufti Haj Amin. Instead of praising FDR for bending backward to save the Jews (when many of Zionists did the exact opposite; see also FDR's War Refugee Board that saved 200,000 Jews); Zionists weaponized their hegemony over the mainstream media to pin the blame on FDR (who was known to advocate non-Zionist solutions to the Jewish refugee crisis) and others, which is a complete distortion of the events. To further prove our point, we ask you to contemplate reading how Zionists responded to Bergson Group's attempts to save European Jewry at the height of the calamity; you might lose your marbles. For added context, we urge you to read Beit-Zvi's assessment who reached a similar conclusion; see Post-Ugandan Zionism, p. 171-78 for more details.

    What if the Evian Conference was a resounding success?
    What would have been the impact of saving European Jewry on Zionism?

    Catastrophic Zionism at its worst: Zionists often spoke of the Holocaust decades before its time. What did Zionists do to confront it? Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade with the Nazis!

    Let's contemplate this what-if scenario: what if Jewish leaders, along with the rest of the world, communicated to Hitler in action that they cared soon after the Evian Conference? What if they didn't waste over a year dithering after Evian? What if they did exploit Schacht & Rublee plans? What if they quickly responded in kind to Hitler's "generous" concessions (after the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938 which we outlined earlier)? What if American Jewry didn't interpret Hitler's concessions as weakness? We have ZERO doubts that the Holocaust would have been avoided, and if it had to happen, it would have been mild compared to what occurred. Hjalmar Schacht (the head of Reichsbank who engineered the rescue plan ten months before WWII was started) was known to have concluded a similar conclusion at his trial in Nuremberg (Post-Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 202).

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    As we outlined earlier; the last thing Hitler wanted to do was a genocide; as evil as he was that is the truth that most Holocaust historians agree with. This fact alone explains why the final solution evolved late in the game by mid-1942. On the other hand, let us not kid ourselves too, we all know in that different world, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Romania would’ve immediately demanded similar deals to rid themselves of another four to five million Jews too. Actually, Zionist leaders (who mostly subscribed to the Catastrophic Zionism idea) expected the calamity in Poland first, which had a much larger Jewish population than Germany.

    NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight both the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis for the Gentiles so they can focus on defeating the White Paper
    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in "empty" Palestine

    Assuming the reasons for the Holocaust were taken off the table by early 1942, and other solutions were available to the "Jewish problem," that implies Jews would have found a haven. On the other hand, saving European Jewry implied that the catastrophe (a.k.a. Nakba in Arabic) would have been transferred from Europe's Jews to Zionism, correct? Hell YES. Just in case you think our interpretations are simple rants by anti-Zionist Palestinians, please think twice. Actually, that is precisely how David Ben-Gurion articulated it just before the Evian Conference was convened:

    The Jews could have only one destination - Eretz Yisrael. So in June 1938, shortly before Allied representatives met in Evian, France, to seek ways of rescuing Jews, Ben-Gurion frankly voiced his concern to colleagues in the Jewish Agency Executive. He did "not know if the [Evian] conference will open the gates of other countries [Oh, God forbid]. . . . But I am afraid [ it ] might cause tremendous harm to Eretz Yisrael and Zionism . . . . Our main task is to reduce the harm, the danger and the disaster [Ben-Gurion was referring to harming the yishuv; he was not referring to harming diaspora Jews; the was the LEVER] . . . and the more we emphasize the terrible distress of the Jewish masses in Germany, Poland and Rumania, the more damage we shall cause ." So be silent, Ben-Gurion cautioned his comrades. . . . And in the silence . . . Evian [Conference] failed. (see NY Times -- June 12th, 1987)
    
    [David Ben-Gurion repeated the same argument ten years later when he was so worried that Americans would soften their hearts and let in Jewish refugees in the DP camps. We guess some habits die hard. ]

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    Let us be honest, Herr Ben-Gurion was accurate: saving European Jewry as FDR designed it before WWII would have been a disaster to his Zionist program; the math proves it. Therefore, Zionism would be much better of Evian failed. This pressure cooker of a scenario was precisely the moment Zionists were patiently waiting to exploit for four decades! This pressure cooker was the energy source which David Ben-Gurion often referred to as the LEVER that would create his state (Hannah Arendt compared this process to the steam power that moves a locomotive)! Wasn't that exactly the manufactured Jewish refugee crisis Zionists plotted and hoped for at Evian? Wasn't that exactly how Theodor Herzl envisioned the "Jewish state" would have been created four decades earlier?

    Just in case you think these evil thoughts were isolated to a few Zionist leaders, we ask you to contemplate again how Chaim Weizmann framed the catastrophe for Zionism around the same period too just before the conference was held. Actually, Chaim's top concern was how to starve and hoard rescue funds since those were harmful to their project. If you read Chaim's letter (which was leaked via a carbon copy), well, you might lose your mind. Levi Eshkol and Moshe Sharitt were known to have said something similar around the same time window as well. For you are curious and you have the time, here are the meeting minutes of the Jewish Agency Executive (a.k.a. JAE) soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom of Nov. 1938, and here is how Ben-Gurion responded when he heard that British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children a month after the infamous pogrom.

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    Here is the unvarnished truth: Hitler’s obsession with antisemitism was no aberration; much of European "civilization" was based on such ideologies and beliefs: Jim Crow, apartheid, genocides, colonization, land theft, ethnic cleansing, concentration camps, reservations, national socialism, Zionism, national socialism, fascism,..etc. didn't evolve out of the blue. In other words, what Hitler did in Europe was only a small dose of what Europeans did in the global south for centuries. Let us be honest: only a few European nations wanted their Jewish citizens to remain, and none of those were in Central and Eastern Europe (examine Winston Churchill's antisemitism on full display as late as July 1937). Now, do you understand why all Europeans eagerly voted for partitioning Palestine in 1947? Why wouldn't they when many of them handed their Jewish citizens to the SS just a few years earlier? What is better than dumping their "Jewish problem" onto Palestine, thus, out of sight out of mind. What is the big deal if Palestinians paid for Europeans' antisemitism with their hopes and dreams? Many indigenous peoples were genocided, and Palestinians fared much better; right? Well, that is what Nakba was to Palestinians.

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    For those reasons, Zionists of all shades lobbied like against any haven for Jews except for Palestine. Saving Jews outside of Palestine rendered their evil project mute; that is why the catastrophe had to happen to enable Zionism! Think about it: why a "Jewish state" is needed when Jews could have been saved somewhere else? When antisemitism wasn't good for Zionism? Never!
    
    Some may think that was an afterthought, that wasn't done with bad intentions, and stuff just happened as such. Well, hang on to your seat. Soon after WWII was under way, Zionist leaders of all shades knew well that they cannot fight Hitler and the British White Paper of 1939 at the same time, and one of them had to give. That is why fighting Nazis was avoided to the bitter end; that was left for the Gentiles. Note how Zionist knew well that fighting Hitler was also correlated with rescuing Jews to places other than Palestine. Thus, such rescue schemes must be hindered as much as possible and their funds diverted to the Zionist projects in Palestine. In a nutshell, that precisely Jewish plight was monetized politically and financially. For the love of God, the word "rescue" to Zionist leaders during the pre-Nakba period had negative connotations; poor Ben-Gurion's stomach used to turn when he used such a word! Much to our surprise, much of American Jewry voted in favor of such an agenda at the height of the calamity and only a vocal minority of them dissented! We are aware that the facts are too much to fathom; but trust us on this one: once you read the details from Israeli and Zionist sources, you may lose trust in humanity.

    Which hate speech was worse: Hitler's hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939, or Ben-Gurion's speech (just two months before Hitler's speech) when he incited the murder of German Jews a month after Kristallnacht?

    Ironically, Jews and those who ganged upon them are on "good" terms, and bygones became bygones soon after the Holocaust, although the graves were still fresh! You would think Jews, among all people, have six million reasons not be in the same bed with fascists so quickly! If you believe that Germany was quickly denazified after WWII ended, then you need to get your head examined! Much of Nazism was only rebranded in the name of defeating communism! Fascism didn't appear lately all of a sudden; it has been always simmering under the surface since WWII ended, and its ambers (e.g., copycat version of Father Charles Coughlin) have been flaring up all over the "liberal" West. What happened by the Germans could easily have been done by any European nation plus America (see Rachel Meadow's Ultra series if you care). Just imagine several versions of mini-Hitler but with a hundred nuclear warheads! Well, that is a reality; say hello to Bibi! Fasten your seat belts; the future is not going to be pretty, and the system we have is way more fragile than most people think!

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    We are obliged to ask: how honing on Palestine as the ONLY destination for European Jewry:
    
     Didn't communicate to Hitler that no one cared about what would happen to Europe's Jews! Even nationalist Jews (a.k.a. Zionists) didn't care!
     Didn't make the "final solution" inevitable and the ONLY solution!
     Didn't push Hitler over the edge! After all, no one cared; therefore, why would anyone care if Europe's Jews disappeared all of a sudden? Ironically, during the war, that was so true, which was apparent when you inspect how the American and Zionist press downplayed the calamity during this period! (Abraham Burg, p. 74). Or that was done on purpose to keep the so-called Yishuvs out of the war to save them from the upcoming battles with their real enemy: The Evil Arabs. Well, here are the boring details if you are interested!
     What is maddening is that when American Jews attempted to investigate these events, and their investigation was nixed and defunded midstream (NYTimes, Jan. 4, 1983). This implies that the Jewish communities around the world know the truth, and on purpose, it is being smothered. To do that effectively, they have made Palestinians their patsies to deflect away from Zionists' treasons.

    NY Times, July 10^th, 1938: Palestinian Arabs are against the Zionist state because they feel it endangers their aspiration to have Palestine for their own! The same ones who don't exist now!

    Finally, we would like to share this finding we stumbled upon by accident. As we were researching the NY Times about the Evian Conference, we were stunned to read the ending of this article that Edwin L. James wrote on July 10^th, 1938, that summarized much of the Palestinian struggle for the past century:

    Although the Arabs are fighting the British. rather than the Jews, that is simply because the British exercise authority in Palestine. The real Arab resentment is against the Zionist State. Which the industry of the Jews has been building well. In the increased of Jews moving to Palestine. The Arabs see further danger to their aspiration to have Palestine for their own. Whether or not they are being stirred up by Italian or other influence, the fact that not only the Arabs in Palestine itself are making trouble, but Arabs from Trans-Jordan and Syria are trying to get into Palestine with obviously hostile intention. indicates a general movement with general direction. There is small doubt that the British will put down the present uprisings. But the serious question arises as to what will be the situation after that has been done. The chances are that the friction between the Arabs and Jews will not end there. (NY Times, July 10^th, 1938, in PDF)
    
    [Now imagine if Mr. James (the one who wrote this article 85 years ago) wrote this article today in the NY Times, do you have any doubts that he will be publicly canceled (maybe fired too) for being "antisemitic"?]

    Sadly, 85 years after Evian, we still hear the mass majority of Jews, reminding us how Palestinians don't exist. When they "do exist," Palestinians must be anti-Semitic since they are anti-Zionists! To rub salt into the wound, they made Palestinians collectively liable for Mufti's actions during WWII. They expected them to be the first in human history who should love (rather than hate) those who dispossessed them and threw them out! Of course, Nakba "never" happened, and Palestinians abandoned their homes willingly during the war of Nakba. Palestine (the most critical land bridge) was empty and was romantically waiting for 2000 years for Zionist Jews to populate and bloom its Negev desert. Only in Zionists' minds could such a twisted sense of reality be tolerated! Don't even dare to expose the Zionists' contradiction! They will skin you!

21. Zionists laboriously lobbied US Congress to hinder the rescuing of Jewish refugees unless Great Britain re-opens Palestine for Jewish immigration! (NYTimes, Jan. 4, 1983) It is truly chilling that this was their position from the start and continued until WWII ended! It was chilling to read the following from Edwin Black:

    "All of the non-Zionist schemes for relieving the plight of German Jews required vast amounts of donations, which Jews and non-Jews alike were willing to give. But the Zionist movement saw these relief efforts as a threat because the solutions excluded Palestine. More importantly, the donations would divert funds from the Zionist movement. In other words, here was a Jewish crisis, and not only would the answer lie in lands other than Palestine, but the Zionist movement would suffer economic ruin in the process" (p. 90)

    As you closely examine Zionists' communications (in private & in public), you can easily see how they were laser-focused on serving their interests, and the above quote is not an aberration & Edwin Black's plus Tom Segev's books are riddled with similar quotes. As you have seen earlier, the Jewish Agency (the "Jewish state" body before 1948) in the early 1930s was on the verge of bankruptcy, which might explain this coldness & risk-taking toward Jews' lives. Click here to learn more about Zionists' fixation on Palestine being the only haven!
22. Let's Do The Math: How Many German Jews Were Actually "Saved" Due To The Haavara Agreement?
    Hitler used German Jews as hostages, Zionists can't be blamed for negotiating with hostage takers?
    
    To deflect, Zionists and their apologists often justify Haavara way after the fact as if you are negotiating with someone who kidnapped your family members. Therefore, you can't be blamed for paying a ransom, and Zionist Jews in the 1930s were helpless and defenseless who were "compelled" to deal with the devil to "save Jews' lives" (as Mr. Black implied in this interview, the same goes for Tom Segev and Yehuda Baur). What a heroic narrative. Let us see how long this argument could survive a little scrutiny.
    
    Before sharing how Baruch Vladec (editor of the Jewish Forward) destroyed this fallacious argument as early as 1936, please keep in mind that:
    
    A) When the Haavara agreement was negotiated in mid-1933, there was no hostage-taking whatsoever. Sadly, when such rescue schemes were made available starting from late 1942, Zionist leaders didn't want to have any part of it unless Palestine was the only destination.
    
    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?
    B) Hitler didn't close the doors (in front of the Jews who wanted to leave) until late 1941. Oddly, it was Hitler who kept repeating in the 1930s that he was willing to ship German Jews anywhere, even on luxury ships, at Germany's expense!
    C) Simply, those Jews who wished to leave could have easily done so, which was true for those who had enough money to qualify for the Capitalist Visa Program with or without Haavara. Therefore, even if we are allowed to use the word "save" nine years ahead of the final solution, those Jews used their money to save themselves. That is precisely what 70% of German and Austrian Jews did soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom in late 1938 (see Jews For Sale? p. 35), and the Haavara Agreement played a marginal role at best in saving those German and Austrian Jews.
    D) Once Zionists' records and the budgets are examined, you can quickly see how Zionist leaders rarely (that's if they ever did) participated in any meaningful rescue effort that included paying the ransom (i.e., see the infamous Europa Plan and Joel Brand's trucks deal). Here is a fun fact we just came across. In Germany proper (not the satellite states like Hungary) during the peak of the Holocaust Jews could have bribed their way out to a neutral country, like Switzerland, for under RM6,000. This is how much a serious rescue budget would have made a difference. By the way, at the time every RM20 were equivalent to one P£. Certainly, in the satellite state the bribes were much less.
    E) Zionist leaders lobbied hand over fist against any possible rescue scheme unless Palestine was the ONLY destination, which persisted even after the war ended in the DP camps. In a nutshell, Zionist leaders cared about Europe's Jews just a little bit less than they cared about those taken hostage during the Oct. 7th Raid.
    
    
    NYTimes: Aug 29, 1933: Germans Tell of Agreement for Barter of Their Products not only Palestinian oranges but with Syria's oranges too!
    F) It should be noted that Zionists not only didn't pay any ransom; on the contrary. The "kidnapped" Jews (assuming we could use such a terminology) paid it from their pockets. Most importantly, it was Zionists who shared with Nazis much of the proceeds (meaning Zionists shared the ransom with the Nazi kidnappers). Actually, the "kidnapees" were milked and left with 11% of the assets' value, which was made available two years after the" kidnapees" immigrated to Palestine.
    
    God forbid, if we haven't destroyed this Zionist argument yet, please contemplate what Baruch Vladek (editor of the Jewish Forward) wrote in early 1936:

    "This analogy would be a very good one if the premises were the same. But, unfortunately, an altogether different analogy fits the case: a whole family has been kidnapped. The ransom money is paid for one member of the family, thus enabling the kidnapper to torture the rest of the family. If there were only one Jew in Germany or only 1,000 Jews, then Friend Zuckerman's example would be correct. But there are still nearly half a million Jews in Germany, all of whom it is impossible to move in a short time. By giving the money we strengthen and enable them to persecute the remaining Jews all the more effectively. The moral harm of the Transfer Agreement is so apparent that only the most dull-witted can try to ignore it. The whole organized labor movement and the progressive world are waging a fight against Hitler through the boycott. The Transfer Agreement scabs on that tight."

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    Here is the unvarnished truth: There was no gun pointed at Zionists' heads. The Nazis left the doors wide open until late 1941 for Jews to leave. German Jewish suffering did not compel Zionists to normalize trade and relations with Hitler. On the contrary, Zionists' internal chatters at the time were filled with indifference to Jewish suffering, as we pointed out on many occasions, and all they did care about was how to turn Jewish suffering into the LEVER that would help them to achieve their political goals. This policy explains why Zionists were engaged in fomenting antisemitism in the 1930s and 40s, thus, what was bad for Jews was good for Zionism.

    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in "empty" Palestine

    Ironically, it was Mr. Black who proved how the Jewish Agency was on the verge of going bankrupt just before Haavara was signed, and how 3/4th of JA's annual budget was in deficit for two years in a row during the great depression! If that is what Edwin Black and others implied (when he stated that Zionists were compelled to deal with Hitler nonstop for seven years); then they had a point. On the other hand, such decisions weren't motivated by saving Jewish lives. On the contrary; such decisions were motivated by saving Zionists' enterprises in Palestine from insolvency. Much to our surprise, Aviva Halamish (an Israeli historian) seems to be alluding that she have reached a similar conclusion, too:

    From the very beginning of the crisis [Kristallnacht pogrom] the Zionist Executive aspired to turn the plight of Germany’s Jews into a lever for increasing Jewish immigration into Palestine. [therefore, the "Jewish state" will be created! . . . .]
    Another measure that turned the plight of Germany’s Jews into a lever for increasing Jewish immigration into Palestine was the establishment of numerous funds and institutions dedicated to aiding them to leave Germany and to be resettled in Palestine. (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants, p. 128)

    This argument was another display of Zionists' fake valor, here is more if you are interested.

23. "It turns out that before the Nazis started to slaughter Europe’s Jews, they enabled us to build the foundations of our state-to-be" Speaker of Knesset: Abraham Burg, p. 73

    How did Zionist leaders respond when Hitler's rose to power in early 1933?
    
    You would think Zionist leaders condemned Hitler's rise to power?
    
    On the contrary, from the get-go, the Jewish Agency was one of the first to congratulate Hitler on becoming the German chancellor and to assure him that they were against all anti-Nazi boycotts. What the heck, Zionist leadership even sent Hitler a condolences cable when President Hindenburg died in August 1934 (The Seventh Million, p. 29).

    Reinhard Heydrich on Zionism and how it's comparable to German National Socialism

    What is mind-boggling is how all Zionist leaders clearly saw the dangers to Europe's Jews nine years before the Final Solution, and instead of confronting and resisting Hitler's fascism, Zionists sought accommodation hoping to exploit Hitler's antisemitism to achieve their political goals (e.g. the creation of the "Jewish state"). Zionists' policy of accommodation and collaboration was precisely Theodor Herzl's marching order just a few decades earlier: don't confront antisemites; they will become Zionists' best friends (the martial art of Jujutsu in politics, see The Transfer Agreement, p. 226). For example, once David Ben-Gurion was done reading, he declared Mein Kampf 1934:

    "Hitler's policy puts all the Jewish people in danger", Ben-Gurion hoped that Nazis' victory would become "a fertile force" for Zionism [what about for Jews David, did you care about them!] (The Seventh Million, p. 18)

    The same goes for Ze'ev Jabotinsky, who stated in early 1933:

    "The Third Reich's policy towards the Jews calls for a war of extermination. It is being conducted in a way that exceeds the bounds of humanity."(The Seventh Million, p. 18)

    which Jabotinsky asserted two years later, too. All this explains why Zionist leaders used to speak of Shoah in the past tense a decade before the calamity was underway.

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    You would not think the Zionist movement could sink low and compare themselves to National Socialism to impress Hitler. (The Transfer Agreement, see Zionists' letter to Hitler in the last paragraph on p. 175)
    You wouldn't think Ben-Gurion & Co. could hoist Swastikas on their Haavara fleet?
    You wouldn't think they did hoist the Swastika a year ahead of the German Navy?
    You wouldn't think Zionist leaders could welcome wearing the yellow star of David nine years ahead of Hitler asking Jews to do so?
    You wouldn't think Zionist intellectuals (who saw firsthand the the dangers of Nazis) could praise the "benefits of Nazism"? What the heck, even Emil Ludwig envisioned Jews erecting a status for Hitler in Palestine as a token of their appreciation!
    You wouldn't think that such appeasing policies would prepare many of Europe's Zionists to work as collaborators (a.k.a. as Kapos) in the death camps and ghettos? God forbid, Zionists cannot sink that low kissing up to the great leader!
    
    Here is Zionist Edwin Black quoting Jüdische Rundschau's (Jewish Review, ZVfD's official Zionist newspaper) letter to Hitler when he became the chancellor. Pay attention to how Zionists attempted to convey to the Nazis the similarities we outlined earlier between Zionism and National Socialism. Make sure not to skip Black's last sentence in defense of Zionists; he had to inject Hasbarah to make us digest treason as if it is actually "saving lives":

    SS officer Leopold Von Mildenstein Inspecting A Zionist Kibbutz In Palestine During The 1930s

    Jüdische Rundschau was free to preach Zionism as a wholly separate political philosophy-- indeed, the only separate political philosophy sanctioned by the Third Reich.
    
    In 1933, Hebrew became an encouraged course in all Jewish schools. By 1935, uniforms for Zionist youth corps were permitted--the ONLY non-Nazi uniform allowed in Germany. When the Nuremberg Laws in late 1935 stripped German Jewry of their citizenship, it became illegal for Jews to raise the German flag; the same law, however, stipulated that Jewry could raise the Star of David-emblazoned Zionist flag.
    
    The ZVfD's quick success in lobbying the Zionist option to the Reich advanced the priority of their second imperative: convincing German Jewry to relinquish ten centuries of German national existence. But the bulk of German Jewry wanted another solution to their predicament.
    They wanted to stay, even as second-class citizens--even reviled and persecuted. The hot springs and baths, the outdoor Konzerten of Bach and Mozart, the readings of Goethe, Oriental carpets on the floor, exotic fruits from Africa, a noble tradition they had fought for, died for, profited by. These people were integrated. They were Germans. They wanted to stay, even helots.
    
    

    Adolf Eichmann on Zionism and how it's comparable to German National Socialism

    Zionism said no. While mainstream Jewish organizations were frantically assembling theories and position papers suggesting a tapered-down but still (German national existence, the Zionists were doing the opposite. On June 21, 1933, long ZvfD memorandum was sent directly to Hitler outlining those Zionist tenets that were consistent with National Socialist ideology. For example: "Zionism believes that a rebirth . . . such as that in German tradition resulting from a combination of Christian and national values and national values, must also come about within the Jewish community. Racial background, religion, a common fate, and tribal consciousness must be of decisive importance in developing a lifestyle for Jews too. ... Zionism's objective is to organize Jewish emigration to Palestine in such a way that it improves the Jewish situation in Germany. ... Jewish settlement is based on agriculture. All productive work, be it of an agricultural, craftsmanship, or industrial nature, is performed by Jewish workers who are inspired by a new idealistic work ethics".
    
    

    Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together

    The German Zionist memo to Hitler contained the obligatory appeal to Nazi prejudices about Jewish laziness and calculated comparisons between the two movements. This was the only way to converse with the Nazi regime. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 175)
    
    [Do you think Mr. Black & Co. would find similar excuses to water down Mufti's action nine years later when he met Hitler in November 1941 (not 1933)! When Mr. Black wrote this hasbarah, he knew well that Zionist leaders at the time were BIG on eugenics and race theory. Isn't it obvious that both sides, the Nazis and Zionists, had ideological affinity? For the love of God, Zionists were even ahead of Mussolini kissing Nazis' behind!]

    Zionists were the only non-Nazi parties allowed to operate in Nazi Germany!

    To be fair to Mr. Black, he wrote one of the best assessments of the Zionist mindset when Hitler rose to power:

    During the first days after Hitler's boycott against Germany's Jews [early 1933], the Zionist movement's hierarchy in Europe and America was busy trying to plot a course of action. Their objective was not to mobilize Jewish and non-Jewish resources for the preservation of Jewish rights in Germany. Rather, they sought a means of turning the miseries of German Jewry into a new impetus for a Jewish Homeland in Palestine.
    
    Zionist leadership had, in fact, refused to oppose the Nazi expulsion ideology from the outset. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 78-9)
    
    [What Mr. Black articulated here is precisely how David Ben-Gurion described exploiting Jews' plight during the 1930s. David called the exploitation of Jewish misery the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state." This LEVER was used during and after WWII ended in the DP camps to achieve the maximum possible leverage.]

    Finally, you wouldn't think the founding father of the "Jewish state" could nudge Nazis into murdering Jews four years before the Final Solution? God forbid, Zionist leaders wouldn't give Hitler ideas on how to murder Jews a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom. You wouldn't think Ben-Gurion would sink that low by encouraging Hitler to get started on murdering Jews two months before his infamous hate speech at the Reichstag. You wouldn't think the founding father of the "Jewish state" could foment Jewish pain and suffering, thus Jews' plight would become the LEVER that will create the "Jewish state"? Well, be careful what you wish for. Please be seated. Here are the boring details from Ben-Gurion's official biographers cited by the NY Times.

24. How did Zionists respond to the Nuremberg Race Laws? How comparable are Nazis' & Zionists' views on mixed marriage, Aryan (Jewish) labor & land, pretending to be Aryan (Jewish) & segregated living?
    
    

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."
    On the contrary, the exact opposite happened. Zionists even praised Nazi prohibition against mixed marriages between Germans & Jews! (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 106-7, The Transfer Agreement, p. 175, JTA - Dec. 24th, 1935)! Even in 1935, the German Zionist branch was the only political force that supported the Nazi Nuremberg Race Laws in the country and was the only party allowed to publish its newspaper (Jüdische Rundschau) and to march with their uniforms & flags (The Transfer Agreement, p. 175). Actually, Nuremberg Race Laws explicitly stated that ONLY the Swastika and the Zionist flags were allowed to be raised in the Third Reich, which was praised in January of 1936 by Congress Bulletin (the organ of the American Jewish Congress, see 51 Documents, p. 121). What was chilling was how Zionists promoted and praised a Nazi policy that identified Jews by wearing the Yellow Star of David (yes, nine years ahead of the Final Solution). You won't believe it until you read, here it is at Zionists' JVL: wear it with pride, the yellow badge. Just in case you think what was cited were isolated incidents of stupidity by a few Zionists, we have dedicated a whole page to show how Zionists and Nazis were fond of each other.

    It should be noted that these were not only empty rhetoric meant to appease Nazis; Zionists implemented many of these racial laws then and now! Zionists' communications (in private & public) are riddled with similar policies and actions; those were not a slip of the tongue or just meant to appease Nazis at the time! Zionists believed in them; they've been implementing them for over a century!

    
    Nuremberg Race Laws: no more mixed marriages. Protect Race and Honor.

    Zionists have been implementing similar racial apartheid & segregation (inclusive of the prohibition on mixed marriage and mixed cities) in occupied Palestine not only after Nakba but, most importantly, from inception in the early 1900s. Humor us:

    Any ideas about the punishment for pretending to be part of the Aryan race in Nazi-controlled territories?
    
    Do you think breaking such a law carried less or more punishment than pretending to be part of the "Jewish race" in "Jewish state" controlled territories?
    
    Why do you think both political systems outlawed pretending to be Aryan (in the case of the Nazis) or Jewish (in the case of the Jews)?
    
    How about Aryanized labor? Anything similar in Zionists' land! YES, Zionists did it way before the Nuremberg Race Laws! They outlawed Arab labor on Jewish lands since 1929! What the heck did Zionist leaders even put into the Jewish Agency's constitution:

    Zionists And Nazis Have The Same Playbook But With Different Players

    " The Agency shall promote agricultural colonization based on Jewish labour, and in all works and undertakings carried out or furthered by the Agency, it shall be a matter of principle that Jewish labour shall be employed"! (The International Diplomacy of Israel's Founders by John Quigley, p. 38-9)

    How about Aryanizing the land? Well, Zionists were ahead of the Nazis in this regard. Not only do Palestinians still own 94% of the land (don't take our word for it, here it is on the UN's website), but in Israel, proper, Palestinians (those who are "citizens" of the "Jewish state" but with 1/5th of the rights) are restricted to under 3% of the land, here it is from Human Rights Watch.

    Why did Zionist leaders ban all kinds of anti-Nazi protests in the 1930s in their communities in Palestine?

    How about adopting "selective breeding" to build the "great nation"? You wouldn't think that Nazis' beliefs influenced Zionists in eugenics & race theory? You wouldn't think Zionist leaders dared to share their notes with the Nazis' racist scientists? Let's contemplate how Chaim Weizmann appreciated the danger Europe's Jews faced two years before WWII was underway. Chaim stated in the fall of 1937:

    Catastrophic Zionism at its worst: Zionists often spoke of the Holocaust decades before its time. What did Zionists do to confront it? Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade with the Nazis!

    "Palestine is no solution for the Jewish problem of Europe. Palestine cannot absorb the Jews of Europe. We want only the best of Jewish youth to come to us. We want only the educated to enter Palestine for the purpose of increasing its culture. The other Jews will have to stay where they are and face whatever fate awaits them. These millions of Jews are dust on the wheels of history, and they may have to be blown away. We don’t want them pouring into Palestine. We don’t want Tel Aviv to become another low-grade ghetto." (The Time Of Israel Blog, Dec. 16th, 2016, Here is a saved image grab as well) [Please ask yourself if this is how the founders of the state of Israel felt about Europe's Jews
    A) Do you really believe Arab Jews fared any better?
    B) How Weizmann's speech here was not comparable to Ben-Gurion's infamous hate speech a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom?
    C) Do you understand now from where the idea of The Greater Israel came from? Remind us, please: Who came up with the living space idea in the service of "great race"? How else Germany, Italy, America, and Israel will be great again?
    

    SS officer Leopold Von Mildenstein Inspecting A Zionist Kibbutz In Palestine During The 1930s

    D) Why did Jews continue to tolerate Zionists' antisemitism which was way ahead of Nazis' antisemitism?
    E) If Jews were silent when Zionists fomented antisemitism against them, is there any hope they will resist Israeli apartheid against Palestinians?]

    To give the readers an idea of how much Zionist leaders cared (or even paid attention) when the Nuremberg Race Laws were enacted, please contemplate what David Ben-Gurion said to the Jewish Agency executives in December 1935

    that "we must give a Zionist response to the catastrophe faced by German Jewry -- to turn this disaster into an opportunity to develop our country, to save the lives and property of the Jews of Germany for the building of the land. This salvation comes before anything else" (NYTimes, April 18th 1993, Abraham Burg, p. 72)
    
    To concentrate now on a boycott, he [Ben-Gurion] concluded, would be a "moral failure" of unprecedented proportions (The Seventh Million, p. 26-7)
    
    [What David Ben-Gurion articulated earlier was EXACTLY what he referred to in the 1930s as the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state". Just in case you haven't processed David's sinister terminology, he was referring to exploiting Jewish pain and suffering. Zionists at the time (not just Mr. Ben-Gurion) were obsessed with monetizing Jews' plight!]

    Nuremberg Laws are explained during an ideological training program in the Hitler Youth camp at Hohenelse in Brandenburg 1937

    A few days after the Nuremberg Race Laws were enacted, the Jüdische Rundschau (Jewish Review, ZVfD's official Zionist newspaper) editorially welcomed the new measures:

    "Germany ... is meeting the demands of the World Zionist Congress when it declares the Jews now living in Germany to be a national minority. Once the Jews have been stamped a national minority, it is again possible to establish normal relations between the German nation and Jewry. The new laws give the Jewish minority in Germany its own cultural life, its own national life. In future, it will be able to shape its own schools, its own theater, and its own sports associations. In short, it can create its own future in all aspects of national life ...
    
    Germany has given the Jewish minority the opportunity to live for itself, and is offering state protection for this separate life of the Jewish minority: Jewry’s process of growth into a nation will thereby be encouraged and a contribution will be made to the establishment of more tolerable relations between the two nations." Here is the full quote at JVL: Jüdische Rundschau, Vol. 75, Sept. 17, 1935

    What was chilling was that Zionists sent Hitler a letter in June 1933 emphasizing their fondness for National Socialism and how Zionism is the Jewish version of National Socialism! You won't believe it until you read it yourself (The Transfer Agreement, see Zionists' letter to Hitler in the last paragraph, too, on p. 175). It is OK, guys; that was done in good faith. Zionists meant well; they wanted to "save lives" by inciting Nazis against their "brothers and sisters"! In a perverted display of cognitive dissonance, Emil Ludwig (one of the most prominent Zionist intellectual figures) was known to praise the benefits of Nazism soon after the Nuremberg Laws were enacted! Insanely, Mr. Ludwig saw nothing but an upside for Nazism; as if he was asking Hitler to double down on his fascism and antisemitism!
    
    The Nazis were as thorough in their Philo-Zionism as in other matters. Now that the Jews were established as separate people with a separate soil, should they not also have a separate language? In 1936, they added a new "nach Palastina" ingredient to their repressive measures. Jewish Frontier had to inform its readers distressingly that:

    Reinhard Heydrich on Zionism and how it's comparable to German National Socialism

    The attempts to seclude the Jews in the cultural ghetto have reached a new height by the prohibition to rabbis to use the German language in their Chanukah [6 December] sermons. This is in line with the effort made by the Nazis to force the German Jews to use the Hebrew language as their cultural medium. Thus, another "proof" of Nazi-Zionist cooperation is seized eagerly by the Communist opponents of Zionism. Abraham Duker, Diaspora, Jewish Frontier (January 1937), p.28

    Here's Aviva Halamish's assessment of Zionist leaders' stance (which is in sync with assessments made by many other historians) after she examined their private and public communications during this period; it is sobering:

    "The reaction of the Zionist Organisation to the Nuremberg Laws of September 1935 was shaped by two concurrent developments. One was deterioration of the situation of the Jews in Poland after the death of Polish President Pilsudsky in May, and the other was the drastic reduction in the number of [immigration] labour certificates (the schedule for the autumn 1935 season was 3,250 compared to 8,000 in the spring of that year)". (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants, p. 132)

    Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together
    To paint a vivid picture of this critical period (in early 1933), we urge you to contemplate reading Nahum Goldmann's assessment of this period. Mr. Goldmann was one of the most important founding members of the "Jewish state" who we witnessed firsthand the most critical events in the 1930s and 40s. Mr. Goldmann looked back with great remorse and painful regrets because he genuinely believed Jews (especially the Zionists) had dropped the ball on many occasions in the 1930s and 40s. He felt that at every turn Jews had engaged fascists with appeasement instead of confronting them. Click here to read what he wrote.

    After examining multiple sources, we cannot help but conclude that Nazi leaders of all shades (from Eichmann to Goering, to Himmler, to Dieter_Wisliceny, to Heydrich, to Mildenstein, to Germany's Ambassadors in Jerusalem in the 1930s, ..etc.) were fond of Zionism. As if they saw in Zionism the German version of National socialism, which is very close to what Arthur Ruppin (a Prussia-Germany lawyer and an economist who was considered one of the most important Zionists after Herzl's death) subscribed to race theories and eugenics (pay attention to Wikipedia's page to see how Ruppin was exchanging notes on race theory with his Nazi counterparts, birds of a feather flock together)! What the heck? Even Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special Gold Medallion to honor this stunning mutually beneficial relationship! (The Seventh Million, p. 30) We don't profess; we have the answers and cite what we know. We urge you to contemplate L. Brenner's take if you are interested in this subject. We ask: Is it possible that Zionist leaders fomented antisemitism for political and economic gains? Anyhow, let us know what you think in the comments section.

25. How did Zionist leaders respond to the Kristallnacht pogrom on Nov. 9-10, 1938?
    
    

    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!
    • You would think Zionist leadership moved heaven & earth to save Germany's Jews after the Kristallnacht pogrom on Nov. 9-10, 1938?
    • You would think Zionist leaders stopped Haavara for a few days in protest?
    • You would think Zionist leaders contemplated other safe havens besides Palestine to save as many German Jews as possible?
    • You would think Zionist leaders tapered their usual fixation on Palestine as the ONLY destination?
    • You would think Zionist leaders finally stopped their usual shenanigans?
    
    You are onto a big surprise! On the contrary, not only did Zionists double down on their existing policies, but they also weaponized Jewish suffering, hoping it would create a Jewish refugee crisis that would act later as the lever (using David Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) to force England to concede Palestine (i.e., opening Palestine to unfettered Jewish immigration, especially after the 1939 White Paper). Pay attention that the Nazi pogrom coincided with Great Britain's rejection of the Peel Partition Plan. Aviva Halamish's assessment of Zionist leaders' mindset at the time is second to none:
    
    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939: How did Zionist leaders respond when British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

    The combination in Kristallnacht of aggressive anti-Semitic policy initiated by the authorities, which had been the fate of Germany’s Jews in various degrees of intensity since 1933, with the physical attack on their lives and property by violent crowds acting in accordance with instructions by the authority, in a mode typical of East European countries, led the Zionist leadership to realise that the Jews of the Reich were doomed and that they had to get out of Germany and Austria, and the sooner the better. Kristallnacht had a decisive impact on the transformation of the Zionist approach to the German crisis from conceiving it as being an immigration issue to constituting a refugee problem requiring emergency action. The Woodhead Report [in response to Peel Partition Plan] was also influential in forging a line of political action linking the refugee crisis with the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine, and ruling out other ideas that would only divert attention from Palestine as a destination for the refugees without offering other feasible alternatives.
    
    

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    The idea of erecting temporary camps for young people from Germany financed by the Jewish people that had been raised prior to the Evian conference by junior members of the Zionist establishment was now expressed by the chairperson of the Zionist Executive himself:"We will put up camps for hundreds of thousands. They will be better off here than in detention camps in Germany, and the Jewish people will take care of them after they get to Palestine”[D. Ben-Gurion Meeting Nov. 12, 1938 Central Zionist Archives S/100]. The feeling of emergency brought to the fore other, non-Zionist ideas. Werner (David) Senator, a representative of the non-Zionist wing of the Jewish Agency, put it bluntly: "Since I do not see the likelihood of rescuing the Jewish people in Palestine alone, I cannot reject proposals aimed at rescuing some of the people in other countries"[ibid]. But the unequivocal stand of the two prominent Zionist leaders -- Ben-Gurion and Weizmann -- was to focus exclusively on solutions connected to Palestine. (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants, p. 135)

    SS men and police take away the Jewish men they have arrested in Baden, Baden. November 10, 1938

    [We managed to track the meeting minutes of the Jewish Agency Executive (a.k.a. JAE) soon after pogrom. Aviva's earlier assessment was spot on: German Jewry's plight was the last thing on their minds. Thus, what Aviva wrote wasn't relevant only to Ben-Gurion; Zionist leaders were all determined to block any haven for Germany Jews unless their destination Palestine. As we shall prove soon, the Jewish refugee crisis was only the tool (a.k.a. the LEVER) with which the "Jewish state was built.]

    "It is possible to imagine without difficulty what awaits the Jews at the mere outbreak of the future world war. But even without war, the next development of world reaction signifies with certainty the physical extermination of the Jews." Leon Trotsky, December 1938, in an appeal to American Jews. Now, compare what Trotsky wrote with Ben-Gurion's infamous hate speech.

    The naive and simpleton might find excuses for those Zionists by saying: well, the scale of the calamity wasn't yet known! What was shocking is that the British moved decisively and organized a quick lift to save 10,000 German Jewish children; how do you think David Ben-Gurion responded to such British generosity? You would think David sent them a thank you cable on behave of the "Jewish people"? Well, here is his infamous antisemitic hate speech, which was spoken a month after the pogrom:

    SS men and police take away the Jewish men after Kristallnacht

    "If I knew it was possible to save all [Jewish] children of Germany by their transfer to England and only half of them by transferring them to Eretz-Yisrael, I would choose the latter----because we are faced not only with the accounting of these [Jewish] children but also with the historical accounting of the Jewish People." (Righteous Victims, p. 162 and The Burning Ground by Shabtai Teveth) Ben-Gurion was so concerned that the "human conscience" might bring various countries to open their doors to those persecuted German Jews [God forbid]. He saw this as a threat and warned: Zionist is in danger. (The Seventh Million p. 28 & NY Times, July 12th, 1987)

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    Pay attention A) How Ben-Gurion used the word "save" before the Final Solution was in the picture, which confirms that Zionist leaders spoke of Shoah in the past tense before it happened. In Zionists' mind the calamity is happening and nothing could stop it; therefore it should be exploited. B) Hitler's infamous hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan. 30th, 1939, almost immediately followed Ben-Gurion's speech by two months; which leads us to believe that David was speaking to Hitler because he (referring to David) refused to retract his antisemitic hate speech although he was heavily criticized for it. Actually, it has be documented that he said something similar (if not worse) 10 days later. If you are interest, here is our complete analysis about this infamous speech!

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    Just in case you think our earlier framing of Zionists' response to the pogrom was an exaggeration, well wait until you read Beit-Zvi's characterization; but hang on to your seat first:

    [Chaim] Weizmann himself espoused this stance unflinchingly. According to the minutes of his November 17 [,1938] meeting with British Prime Minister Chamberlain, also attended by the Jewish members of the House of Lords: “They spoke about the rescue of Jews--he spoke [ONLY] about their immigration to Palestine.” Given the political and economic conditions then prevailing in Palestine, this stand was tantamount to laying a siege on Germany’s Jews. Some months later, when concrete emigration plans were broached, a period began in which what had been implicit became unequivocally explicit. The policy of non-participation gave way to an aggressive policy of interference which constantly intensified until its culmination in unbridled incitement (see Post-Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 193)

    Many so-called "Jewish historians re-interpret" Ben-Gurion's blatant antisemitic statement and described it as unfortunate and regretful, or even they concoct excuses as he couldn't have foreseen the Holocaust. Not to our surprise, we just discovered that Ben-Gurion behaved exactly the same way after WWII ended when he heard that hundreds of Jewish children in the DP camps would be relocated to Britain and France rather than Palestine. Most Zionists' leadership expressed a similar sentiment during the 1930s and 40s. For example, Chaim Weizmann spoke of something similar almost a year earlier and here is Rabbi Stephan Wise lobbying US Congress against increasing immigration quotas (concerning German Jewish children) in early 1939 four months after Kristallnacht. Chaim Weizmann also was known to have said something similar to British officials around the same time (see Zionism during the Holocaust, p. 298).

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but at a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    Thus, in Zionists' mind, those Jews (no matter how disparate they were) when they immigrated to places other than Palestine (especially in the 1930s when the Jewish Agency was at its weakest), were voting with their feet against the "Jewish state" to be; that was looked upon at the time as a betrayal. Just a few years earlier, Ben-Gurion was hoping for a refugee crisis that could act as the LEVER in creating the "Jewish state." Therefore, what Ben-Gurion wrote was no aberration; it reflected the dominant Zionists' viewpoint at the time (Chaim Weizmann was known to have said something similar to British officials; see Zionism during the Holocaust, p. 296). That is precisely why Ben-Gurion never retracted his antisemitic statement, and Jews primarily didn't condemn him and redirected their hate towards Palestinians & their Mufti to deflect. From the Zionists' point of view, this was a matter of life and death situation, and they cared less about those Jews (even those unfortunate German Jewish children) if their actions weakened or endangered them. For Zionists, all they cared about was establishing their state, and Jewish persecution was only a means to an end. It should be noted that Ben-Gurion's statement was translated into a policy during WWII and explains why Zionists lobbied hard against opening any haven except for Palestine.

    It's worth noting too that Zionists were up in arms when the British suggested former German colonies (referring to Namibia which had the Herero Genocide by Germany two decades earlier, at the time it was administrated by the League of Nations) as a haven for German Jewish refugees (Politics of Rescue, p. 44). Actually, along with Alaska; this safe haven for Europe's Jews was only one of thirty rescue schemes that were rejected by Zionists; here is the complete list.

    
    Who is the worst Kapo: Chaim Rumkowski Vs. David Ben-Gurion?

    To drive our point home further, let us ask: How was Ben-Gurion's hate speech not much worse than Chaim Rumkoski's "Give me your children" speech, which he made during WWII in Lodz's Ghetto? The only difference was the place, four years, and how both died. While Ben-Gurion was safe in Palestine, enjoying Great Britain's protection, Chaim fell under Nazi occupation. Chaim was later killed in Auschwitz (by other Jews) when he was identified as a Kapo. Note how Wikipedia's editors still hide the fact that the chief of Kapos was a prominent Zionist activist who heeded Herzl's advice not to confront antisemites, who in return would become Zionists' best friends (more like the martial art of Jujutsu in politics). (The Transfer Agreement, p. 226) Also, Ben-Gurion easily could have ended with the same fate and reputation as Rumkowski's if Rommel had made it to Palestine.

    Why did the yishuv protest British policies in Palestine during WWII, but there were no such pamphlets against Hitler?

    To put things into perspective, here is a telegram (sent on April 2nd, 1938) from Albert Einstein and his friends at Princeton University, thanking the FDR administration for all their efforts on behalf of the persecuted in Germany and Austria! Now compare that with Zionists' leadership! Remind us, please, who is the antisemite! Let's change the subject by speaking about Zionists' patsy: The Mufti.
    
    This should be a surprise to no one; Zionist leaders' stance was no aberration; this policy not only continued at the height of calamity but, most importantly, it continued in the DP camps after the war end as we pointed out earlier. Sadly, these views were wide spread among most American Jewry during WWII (meaning American Jewry were not sleep on the wheel). Therefore, we ask: Is it possible that Zionist leaders fomented antisemitism for political and economic gains? Was it a coincidence that Zionist institutions in Germany (such as Jewish Agency's offices, Youth Aliyah, training camps, newspapers, ...etc) were all protected by the gestapo during the 1938 pogrom (Between Home And Homeland, p. 1); therefore, Zionists escaped the pogrom unscathed? Anyhow, let us know what you think in the comments section.

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details
    Not only did we find ZERO evidence that Zionist leaders advocated for any haven other than Palestine, but they also used their influence on US-based Jewish organizations to lobby US Congress against rescuing Jews unless Great Britain opens Palestine for unfettered Jewish immigration (NYTimes, Jan. 4th, 1983)! Factually, we found zero evidence that Zionists ever advocated for any haven except for Palestine. On the contrary, Zionist leaders lobbied to torpedo any such schemes, and often, they weaponized antisemitism in the process (see Rabbis' March and the Alaska Scheme for the boring details). This policy not only persisted after the Nuremberg Race Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom, but it also continued at the peak of the calamity during WWII (see BBC Fact File: Bermuda Conference & The Detroit Jewish Chronicle: April 23, 1943) and even after WWII was concluded in the displaced persons (DP) camps.
    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    What was tragically criminal was that focusing on Palestine as the only destination for Europe's Jews wasn't an afterthought; Zionist leaders discussed it in preparation of the Bermuda Conference, and several suggested they should start contemplating non-Zionist solutions. Despite appeals by a few in the Revisionists camps (a.k.a. the Bergson Group) and other notable Jews for them to reconsider, they double down on their evil policies (see Dina Porat, p. 142-43). Perhaps because of such reckless endangerment policies, Europe's Jews voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles, even after Palestine was emptied. Some group of people went out of their way to weaponize Jewish suffering by turning Jews' plight into the LEVER that would create their state!

    Shukri al-Jamal's Palace in the Talibiya neighborhood in Jerusalem two days after its completion and just before Zionist Jews looted it from him and his family

    As we were researching Zionist leaders' response to possible Nazi occupation of Palestine (advancing from North Africa), we were shocked to discover that the so-called yishuv cooperated only once with the British on military matters (it was short-lived and the timing coincided when all admitted that the Holocaust officially underway), and when the danger abated (when Rommel was defeated at el Alamein in late Oct. 1942), the so-called yishuv broke off the cooperation. Much to our surprise, the Jewish Agency Executive contemplated confronting the British military (as Etzel was proposing) during the war (which they did after the White Paper was published in May 1939 and it was halted when Nazis invaded Poland four months later, see Aaron Berman, p. 70-71). Still, JAE rejected such a thing during the war (Dina Porat worded it in a way to imply that it was a close vote, p. 50).
    
    This fact alone should give the reader a clue to what was front and center on Zionist leaders' minds at the height of the calamity, and fighting Nazis wasn't on their mind. This single fact alone should explain why the yishuv saw little action at war's end! Anyhow, in the following few paragraphs, you shall discover what consumed Zionists' total energy, not only during the calamity but after it was over, too. Grab a cup of coffee.

    Ben-Gurion declared in late 1939 that the yishuv would fight both the White Paper and Hitler, did they fight both at once?

    NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis was left to the Gentiles so they could focus on defeating the White Paper.

    From Zionists' point of view, the White Paper of 1939 posed an existential crisis to the whole Zionist movement just a few months before WWII was underway, and Nazis were never the enemy from their point on. Zionists were facing a life-or-death situation (similar to the one they faced between 1930-33 when the Jewish Agency was almost bankrupt six years earlier, which pushed them into signing the Haavara agreement with Hitler). Zionist leaders behaved like a chicken with its head cut off. That is why all Zionist groups started their arms struggle (Aaron Berman, p. 70-71) against the British (inclusive of Haganah), which in many cases continued during WWII as the Holocaust was in progress (as was the case with Stern, Lehi, and the Irgun where some of them reached to Hitler for alliance ten months before Mufti did in early and late 1941).

    Since the White Paper put severe limits on future Jewish immigration to Palestine, that implied that defeating the White Paper had to become the most important priority for the whole Zionist movement, and everything else had to be tabled, including rescuing Jews. Actually, American Jewry voted on tabling rescue efforts and in favor of focusing on building the state during the American Jewish Conference in Sept. - Oct. 1943. YES, this happened when the last two million were alive!

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    After WWII was underway in Oct. 1939, David Ben-Gurion coined his famous slogan of: we shall fight the White Paper as if Hitler isn't there, and we shall fight Hitler as if the White Paper isn't there. On paper, this slogan sounded patriotic, and it had a nice ring. On the other hand, in practice, all Zionists knew well it was complete nonsense; fighting Hitler was never even considered. Don't take our word for it, read it from the heads of the Zionist movement in the US (Nahum Goldman and Rabbi Stephen Wise) in May 1943. What both said was and still is an open secret in the Zionist movement:

    We cannot press the Hitler button and the British and Palestine buttons at the same time! (NY Times, April 18th, 1982: AMERICAN JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST By Lucy S. Dawidowicz and The Abandonment of the Jews by David S. Wyman, p. 176)
    
    [What Zionist leaders outlined here actually reflected Jewish Agency's budget during the war. There was nothing allocated to fighting the Nazis, and very little was spent on rescue efforts! This alone should make you question everything about the Zionist narrative. Zionists' budget during the war spoke volumes.]

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    To put it simply, Nazis weren't THE enemy of the yishuv, and Rabbi Wise was 100% correct: Hitler and the White Paper cannot be fought at once; one of them had to give. In layman's terms, there was not enough bandwidth to fight both, and fighting Hitler (which is directly correlated with supporting rescue efforts to countries other than Palestine) was left to the Gentiles at best. Actually, in practice, Zionists hindered rescuing Europe's Jews (except if their destination was ONLY Palestine) to maximize defeating the White Paper of 1939. Thus, at the moment of crisis, Europe's Jews were left high and dry. Many Jews saw this coming way before WWII when the Ben-Gurion & Co. helped Nazis to break up the anti-Nazi boycott in 1933. Here is Edwin Black nailing it on the head way better than we did:

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    Meanwhile, the German government felt certain it had triggered the breakup of the boycott because the Zionist movement would now be in the German export business German Jewish wealth and emigrants would be transferred in a flow wholly dependent upon the purchase of German merchandise and commodities. The Jews of the world would now have to choose between fighting Hitler and building Palestine, preserving the old or securing the new. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 133-34)

    Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

    In a nutshell, the existential crisis that confronted Zionists in May 1939 intensified their fixation on Palestine as the ONLY solution to the so-called "Jewish problem" (Ben-Gurion spoke openly of exploiting Jewish pain and suffering in a way that could act as the LEVER that will create the "Jewish state"), and those Jews who immigrated to other havens than Palestine meant nothing to them (Ben-Gurion called saving Jews outside Palestine "Witch Doctor's Medicine"). Thus, our analysis explains:

    Why Ben-Gurion wished death upon those German Jewish children who immigrated to England soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom (and a month before Hitler's infamous hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939)!

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    Why did the Zionist leadership lobby against any haven for Jews except for Palestine?
    Why did Zionist leaders hinder any rescue effort unless the destination was Palestine?
    Why much of the rescue fund was stolen (Zionists would say "diverted" to the new state to-be) during WWII?
    Why the so-called yishuv avoided fighting the Nazis to the bitter end? Well, to be fair to the so-called yishuv, they saw little action at the war's end and managed to snap a few selfies at the front!
    Why did this evil policy continue even after WWII ended in the DP camps?
    Why did Zionist leaders attempt to hoard much of the rescue funds that could have been available to viable rescue schemes?
    Why did the word rescue have negative connotations to Zionists? YES, Ben-Gurion's stomach used to turn when the subject of rescuing Jews used to come up!
    Why did Zionist leaders suppressed and play down news of the calamity from the beginning?
    Why were Zionist leaders against bombing the death camps and the railroads leading to them?
    Why Haavara was s shutdown as late as December 1941, and Jewish Agency's offices in Berlin were closed in May 1941, but not much sooner?
    Why many Arab Jews were terrorized into leaving their homes in the early 1950s? Is it possible that the same thing happened in Warsaw after WWII ended? Well, it is all good guys. If you want the omelet, you must be willing to smash a few million eggs.

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    In the best of scenarios, Zionist leaders didn't care about Europe's Jews (irrespective of whether they knew that Shoah would happen) not only during the pogroms in the 1930s but, most importantly, as the calamity was being executed and after Shoah was concluded (in the displaced persons --DP camps). For Zionist leaders, Europe's Jews are alive only in "Eretz-Israel"; in the Zionist mind Europe's Jews will be dead no matter where they go except in Palestine (i.e. Witch Doctor's Medicine); as if Ben-Gurion looked upon their rescue as a betrayal too! Thus, why should the Jewish Agency "waste" its budget? On the other hand, we agree with Black's and Segev's earlier assessment: Zionists foresaw multiple Nakbas upon the Jews of Europe, played it safe with little to no risks, positioned themselves for maximum advantage, and all heeded Herzl's advice by turning Jewish plight into the lever, weapon and piggy bank that would build their "Jewish state".

    In layman's terms, this is precisely how Zionist leaders managed to monetize Jewish pain politically and economically. What has been sick is that many so-called "Jewish historians" perfectly know that our description of the events is accurate. Despite it, they've painted Zionists' policies as shrouded and pragmatic political calculation. Mazeltov Jews, give yourself a big hand on this "wonderful" ideology!

    Just in case you think what have been presented was some anti-Zionist rant, please think twice. The rest of this section has been dedicated to expose that our conclusions encompass that vast majority of the Zionist movement at during the pre-Nakba period. Hang on to your seat; it will be a rocky ride.

    Here is another example, taken from Yizhak Gruenbaum’s (head of the so-called United Rescue Committee that did the least to rescue Jews) remarks  before the Inner Zionist Executive in early 1943 (during the peak of the destruction of European Jewry), which demonstrates what was front and center for the so-called Yishuv and the Zionist movement:

    Eve Willman, holding a copy of her passport, was brought from Austria to England as part of the kindertransport effort to rescue Jewish children.

    A mood has begun to take hold of the Land of Israel, which, I believe, is most dangerous to Zionism, to redemption, to our efforts at redemption, to our war. I don’t wish to offend anyone, but I can’t understand how this sort of thing, something that has never happened before, could happen in the Land of Israel: it never happened overseas—how was it possible that in the Land of Israel, at a public meeting, I should have been the object of [such] catcalls [as]: “You have no money, take Keren HaYesod’s funds. Take the money from the bank; after all, there’s money there, Keren HaYesod [a.k.a. J.N.F] has money.” . . . I have been asked: “[Should we use] Keren HaYesod’s money . . . for the rescue of Jews in Diaspora countries?” I said “no,” and I say “no” again. . . . I think it must be spelled out here: Zionism comes first. [Dina Porat p. 76-9, Yechiam Weitz, p. 10 & Wikipedia has a similar quotation too which Mr. Gruenbaum stated a year earlier, here is a saved image.
    
    Pay attention to what Wikipedia wrote about his Kapo son, much of whom used to be Zionist activists. It should be noted that much of JNF's funds came directly funded from Haavara and nothing as far as we know was allocated to rescuing Jews from JNF. Rescue funds (if any were ever used to save Jews) came from other sources and not from Zionists' enterprises. According to Dina Porat, Mr. Gruenbaum views were no aberrations which reflected the view of the members Jewish Agency Executives, and he actually made his views public on several occasion to a point that a few newspapers called him an antisemite.
    Once you read how much Zionist leaders allocated (from what was collected; not from their own resources) to rescue Europe's Jews at the height of the calamity, well you might lose your mind. You've been warned; here are the boring details from a primary source. ]

    Two full-page ads in the NY Times calling for the rescue of millions of European Jews, but ONLY Palestine was cited!

    God forbid if you thought this was a slip of the tongue and it wasn't a Zionist policy, here is Shabti Teveth directly quoting David Ben-Gurion stating something very similar around the same period:

    In August of that year [1943], at a JAE meeting that heard a report from an Istanbul representative claiming that the lack of funds severely restricted rescue opportunities, Ben-Gurion again spelled out his line.
    The institution called the Jewish Agency is an all-Jewish organization for the upbuilding of Palestine, and I do not intend to say what is more important, building Palestine, or rescuing a single Jew from Zagreb. It may be that, at one time or another, the rescue of a single child from Zagreb is more important, but these are two different matters The Agency is bound to do....everything in the way of rescuing Jews by immigration to Palestine....This is its role. However the tasks of assistance, of saving one more Jew, of doing all to prevent deportations, are very important and must be assumed by another organization, to be set up and funded from other sources. (Ben-Gurion: The Burning Ground, 1888 - 1948 p. 858-59)
    
    As we have pointed out earlier, much of what was collected and allocated for rescue (to Palestine or any other location) was actually funneled to shore up the Zionists enterprise in Palestine, and almost all of it came from JDC and other wealthy Jewish donors. "Rescue" for Zionists implied building Palestine as "Jewish state"; and Europe's Jews suffering was only the "lever" to achieve their political goals.

    To give the reader an idea of how widespread this Zionists' mindset was in the 1930s and 40s, we like to quote Ariel Lekaditis (a Yad Vashem historian & Holocaust educator), who described Zionist Leaders' behaviors during WWII as follows:

    Feature of this policy was the attitude of the Zionist movement in 1938 towards the possible change of U.S immigration laws which would allow the Jews to find refugee. The movement opposed to this possibility, as it was stated by Rabbi Stephen Wise, leader of the American Jewish Congress: “It was decided that no Jewish organization would, at this time, sponsor a bill which would in any way alter the immigration laws.” The very same politics applied when the U.S. Congress started some initiatives in 1943 regarding the extermination of the Jews that had already began. Once again the Rabbi Wise, who at that time was the principal spokesperson for Zionism, traveled to Washington in order to testify against the rescue bill that the U.S. Congress intended to vote, because it would cause problems to the colonization of Palestine. German Zionism and the German Jews

    When Irgunists in the US (a.k.a. the Bergson Groups) attempted to mobilize the public and the Jewish community to fight Hitler between 1941-43, you would think Ben-Gurion and Co. gave them a big helping hand. Well, you cannot be further from the truth. To discredit Irgunists, Rabbi Stephen Wise and his buddies were quick to point out that Irgunists were fascists (which was true), and the collected funds would be stolen. Zionist leaders even lobbied the US government to have them financially audited by the IRS and to draft their leaders into the US army (see Wikipedia for boring details). It seems Zionist leaders were terrified that the Bergson Groups's plans could divert donations and other resources from building their future state (Aaron Berman, p. 130-31 & 118-123). How such policies and actions did help the Nazis?

    One of the most tragic moments during the Holocaust was the deportation of the Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in 1944. What was ironic was that Zionist leaders in mass refused to rescue those poor souls even to Palestine under the status of refugees. Zionists refused and insisted they must have full political rights from day one. Zionist leaders fought tooth and nail to torpedo such a resolution in the US Congress; you won't believe it until you read the boring details (Aaron Berman, p. 118-123). The vast majority of those poor souls (close to 437,000 Jews) were shipped to Auschwitz in the last batch. Now, do you understand how Joel Brand's mission was torpedoed and his mission was leaked to the British press? Would you be surprised if it was Zionists who did that?

    Finally, just in case you still have your doubts about our presentation, we like to quote Wikipedia's Biltmore conference page (an extremely pro-Zionist platform):

    The estimates for the destruction of European Jewry grew throughout 1942 and 1943. Chaim Weizmann urged a re-evaluation of the Biltmore program in June 1943. Chaim Weizmann’s earlier estimate of 25% destruction declared at the Biltmore conference now seemed wildly optimistic. Rabbi Meyer Berlin leader of the Mizrahi Zionist party disagreed arguing that no one could know how many Jews would survive and how many would die. [

    TWO IMPORTANT NOTES 

    A) How Dr. Chaim Weizmann warned that more Jews will be murdered if the creation of the state takes a higher priority over saving Jews, but Zionist leaders brushed Dr. Weizmann's warnings aside by saying: who knows what the future holds! You are not God to know! Old habits die hard; this type of gaslighting continues to this date!

    B) It was Wiezmann himself in 1938 who predicted that Europe could soon end up with 6 million murdered Jews (Yoav Gelber, p. 582). Therefore, Zionist Jews knew well that the knife was heading towards Europe's Jews way ahead of the Nazis. The question is: how did they respond?]

    Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?

    American Jewish conference

    At the American Jewish Conference [the prelude to AIPAC] of 29 August 1943 [64 American Jewish groups, by far the largest Jewish voices at the time that was composed of 500 delegates representing some 2,250,000 Jews, and Rabbi S. Wise put that number as large as five million] the adoption of the Biltmore program was challenged by Joseph Proskauer and Robert Goldman [both represented the American Jewish Committee, a.k.a. AJC; and Mr. Goldman was a well known Zionist from Cincinnati, here is what he wrote], they argued that the immediate problem was the rescue effort, not the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth [their objection was based on the timing; but not based on the principle; judge Proskauer changed his mind soon after the war)]. Goldman felt the Biltmore program was unduly weighted in favour of the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth [in Palestine was implied] and that the focus on this as a priority would hamper the efforts to rescue the European Jewry.

    While Abba Silver [who was against bombing the death camps & railroads into them during the conference] and Emanuel Neumann put forward that the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth [in Palestine] should be the primary aim.

    [Image grab and if you are interested to read the boring details from the primary source "American Jewish Conference, Nov. 1st, 1944", see pages 5, 13, 17, and 19-20, JTA Oct. 26th, 1943, and The Bergson Boys p. 293 - 296.
    
    If you have the time, we urge you also to read what David S. Wyman wrote in "Abandonment of the Jews" from p. 167 - 177. Pay attention
    
    A) How a long time Zionist of Cincinnati, Robert Goldman, warned that the resolution at hand would do nothing to save Europe's Jews and it would lead the British and the Arabs to harden their positions. Despite that delegates voted sixty-one to two in favor of focusing on Palestine.
    B) How Mr. Wyman concluded what we have concluded (our research was written before we read his book), however, towards the end of the chapter he gave Zionists a free pass (see pages 176-77). We followed his assessment with our review.
    
    Honestly, Mr. Wyman presentation paints Zionists in a dark light, and despite that he is a well known supporter of the "Jewish state," who used to brag about his Zionism. If you'll read what Mr. Wyman wrote in Chapter 9 (The Zionists), you might lose your mind; you have been warned.]

    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!

    Just in case you think that the above assessment (of de-prioritizing rescuing Jews) was only limited to Zionist leaders, we are forced to quote the deputy opinion editor at the Forward (Nora Berman), who gave a free pass to Rabbi Stephen Wise and his cohorts:

    ..... FDR did not meet with the rabbis on the advice of his Jewish advisers [Nora never named those Jewish advisors but we suspect they were Samuel Rosenman of the American Jewish Committee and Rabbi Stephan Wise; both were close to FDR], who said that Bergson and his rabbis did not represent the mainstream Jewish opinion.
    
    These advisors were not wrong: a significant portion [Nora didn't report a number, 25% was reported by PBS after Kristallnacht but it could be much higher during the war; other source cited 20% figure] of the American Jewish community did not want to draw attention to their Jewishness during WWII by advocating for the Jews of Europe. They feared antisemitic reprisals by their neighbors; despite their assimilation, they felt the tentative status of their relative acceptance in American society. There was also a palpable divide between wealthier, assimilated, largely German-American Jews and their poorer Eastern European brethren. A rabbi in the early 20th century said of the new Yiddish-speaking arrivals: "We are Americans and they are not. They gnaw the bones of past centuries." Forward - Sept. 22nd, 2022
    
    [Recently, Prof. Illan Pappe recently spoke of how British Jewry (especially the aristocratic ones) had a similar sentiment , which motivate many to support the Balfour Declaration although they were not Zionists! It seems the act of "pulling up the ladder behind you" was more widespread than we thought! Henry L. Feingold confirmed similar information in the US, only a few Jewish groups (i.e., the left-wing Jewish Labor Council) lobbied to increase immigration quotas for refugees, see Politics of Rescue, p. 13 - 14. This is not a surprise to those who works in politics; often immigrant are the first to vote for anti-immigration laws.]

    Similarly, Thomas Kolsky (in Jews Against Zionism) wrote in 1990:

    ...despite the public posturing, the confrontation between the Council [short for the American Council Judaism, a.k.a. ACJ who was anti-Zionist] and the Zionists in 1943 and 1944 was marred by the tragic failure of the two groups to work for the rescue of European Jews. Instead of concentrating their efforts during the war on saving Jews, both were preoccupied with fighting each other and preparing plans for the postwar period.
    
    An example of the Zionist preoccupation was the bitter campaign of the American Zionist leadership in 1943 and 1944 against The Emergency Committee To Save The Jewish People of Europe. Organized in 1943 by Peter Bergson (Hillel Kook), a Palestinian Revisionist, The Emergency Committee wanted to separate the Issue of rescuing Jews from the statehood question for the duration of the war. Bergson's group waged an intensive advertising campaign to draw attention to the situation in Europe and to generate pressure to save Jews. Through its Influence, on 9 November 1943, identical resolutions were Introduced tn the Senate and the House urging creation of a "commission of diplomatic, economic and military experts" to prepare a plan to save the remaining Jews tn Europe. The official Zionist leadership did not support the resolutions. Instead, apparently out of fear of competition from their Revisionist rivals, the American Jewish Conference and the AZEC [American Zionist Executive Committee, the prelude to AIPAC] attacked The Emergency Committee mercilessly throughout 1944. Moreover, the Zionists urged the State and Justice departments to have Bergson deported or drafted. Although the rescue resolutions were not put to a vote, they contributed to Roosevelt's decision to create the War Refugee Board (WRB) in 1944. The WRB engaged in some modest rescue operations in 1944 and 1945. The example of the WRB indicates the possibility that, if during the war years American Jews had been committed to rescue rather than to Jewish statehood, much more could have been done to save Jews. The Zionists' emphatic demands for Jewish statehood during the war, their reluctance to support the rescue resolutions, and their attacks on Bergson and the Emergency Committee confirm Council clams that Zionism was less concerned with saving Jews than with achieving its political objectives tn Palestine. However, despite its correct analysis of Zionist policy, the Council was equally inactive on the matter of wartime rescue. (p. 105-106)

    Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special Gold Medallion in honor of the Nazis' relationship with Zionists! Do you have any ideas why he visited Palestine in 1937?

    Until this date, American Jews (Zionists and non-Zionists alike) never reckoned with these choices they made in the 1930s and during WWII, who often carefully covered up their tracks (more on this in the next paragraph) in the mainstream media, and often prefer to deflect by using others as patsies (i.e. Mufti Haj Amin, FDR, JDC, American Jewish Committee, Henry Ford, IBM, Churchill, ..etc). If you are interested to know how passive American Jews (again, Zionists and non-Zionists alike) were in the 1930s towards their European brothers, we urge you to read Jews in Action booklet that was released by American Jewish communists (Jewish People’s Committee) in 1941 who took the lead in protesting fascism (actually, it was Leon Trotsky who wrote the book on FASCISM: What It Is and How To Fight It); please don't ignore Rabbi Stephen Wise infamous letter to Congressman Donald O'Toole who proposed increasing Jewish immigration quotas in the late 1930s, on page 7, and how American Jewry responded during Robert Edmondson's infamous trial. This explains why the American Jewish community have become the tip of the spear in spreading Zionists' big lies especially after the 6 Days War of 1967. This community continuously in NEED of patsies to deflect away from their past; else the community might implode. Here is THE evidence if you are interested in the boring details.

    Just in case you think that what was written earlier was anti-Zionist rants, we urge you to contemplate reading what Peter Grose in "Israel In The Mind of America" wrote in 1983 (from p. 108 to 112; page 112 is a must read), then you will see how kind we were to Zionists. Before you judge us, we ask you also to contemplate how why Haim Greenberg (one of the towering American Jewish Zionist intellectuals) wrote on Feb 12^th, 1943 (seven months before the American Jewish conference) in the Jewish Frontier a few months after the Holocaust became known:

    The time has come, perhaps, when the few Jewish communities remaining in the world which are still free to make their voices heard and to pray in public should proclaim a day of fasting and prayer for American Jews. No--this is not a misprint. I mean specifically that a day of prayer and of fasting should be proclaimed for the five million Jews now living in the United States. They live under the protection of a mighty republic governed by democratic laws. . . . The vast majority of them have enough food to eat, clothes to wear and roofs over their heads. . . . Nevertheless, they deserve to be prayed for. They are not even aware what a misfortune has befallen them, and if they were to look at themselves with seeing eyes they would realize with shock how intolerable this misfortune is. . . . If moral bankruptcy deserves pity, and if this pity is seven-fold for one who is not even aware of how shocking his bankruptcy is, then no Jewish community in the world today (not even the Jews who are now in the claws of the Nazi devourer) deserves more compassion from Heaven than does American Jewry. (The "Other" New York Jewish Intellectuals, p. 46)
    
    [Mr. Greenberg was one of the few labor Zionists who dared to challenge Ben-Gurion & Co. advocating for the encouragement of all possible havens for Jewish refugees. Notably, he was the driving force behind the proposal to relocate Europe's Jewish refugees to Alaska; however, his suggestions were quickly rejected. Therefore, when he wrote this article, it didn't come out of the blue. Haim's frustration was building up, and then he exploded in early 1943. We are sure that Haim was angry during the American Jewish Conference.]

    A Playlist Of Short Clips Of Jews Sharing Their DNA Test Results

    We found the American Jewish Conference's resolution in the NY Times, which confirms much of what was cited in Wikipedia, including Judge Joseph Proskaur's complete statement (here is JTA's report on Oct 26th, 1943 which contains way more details). Remember, this resolution was adopted at the height of the calamity, and almost all American Jewish organizations and groups adopted it; and those who objected, their objections were about the time of the resolution and not on principle. To rub salt into the wound, we found that Zionists (along with their Christian Zionist friends) were busy trying to get the US Congress to adopt a pro-Zionist Bill which could've undermined the war effort and not for the intervention of the War Departments (in the US and Great Britain) the whole Middle East could've erupted when the war effort needed Arab support the most (The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman p. 136-37).
    
    If you have the time, please contemplate reading Zionists' presentation to the US Committee on Foreign Affairs in early 1944 (yes, before the last million were murdered); nothing whatsoever was told about saving Jews anywhere EXCEPT for Palestine. Oddly, it was Professor Philip Khouri Hitti of Princeton University (YES, the Gentile Arab) who was one of a handful who dared to ask US lawmakers to open American gates to save Europe's Jews! What was even more tragic was that Zionists' agitation (starting from the 2nd half of 1943) was so reckless and dangerous to the war efforts to the point that it prompted the British and the Americans to contemplate walking away from Zionism by reversing the Balfour Declaration in July 1943 (see what Peter Grose wrote on this little known subject, p. 178-9). Now, if you don't see how this wasn't intentional criminal negligent (that's in the best case scenario) by focusing their attention on Palestine as the calamity was happening, then you should have your head examined. Since all parties had Jewish blood on their hands, then nixing the investigation (that was supposed to report on American Jewish groups' conduct and passivity during WWII) made perfect sense! Why continue an investigation that could risk making American Jews and the Zionist movement at least partially responsible for the Holocaust? Just nix it and keep it quiet; that is why only a few have spoken about it since 1983.
    
    For completeness' sake, here are Faris Yahya's, David Wyman's, Sarah Peck's, Beit-Zvi's, Laurence A. Jarvik's and Monty Penkowe's presentations on this subject, which were among the earliest written about this scandal. We hope you will find them informative.

    Back To Haavara FAQs

27. Why did Zionist leaders hinder and frustrate rescuing Jews during WWII and in the displaced persons camps?

    A Brief Introduction

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    As we started researching the Haavara Agreements, it became clear that Zionist leaders were engaged in fomenting antisemitism (hoping it would instigate a European Jewish refugee crisis) in the process of achieving their political goals (i.e., by making Jews a majority in Palestine, therefore, defeating the White Paper of 1939). In the 1930s, Zionists' antisemitism was so brazen it operated in the open, which sadly multiplied as Nazis ratcheted up the noose around German Jews. Slowly but surely, Zionist leaders figured out an evil way to monetize and convert European Jewry's pain and suffering, and to turn it into a LEVER (using David Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) that would build their "Jewish state." Therefore, Zionists' blatant antisemitism forced us to ask:

    
    Israel Honored Hitler's Lover Boy (Avraham Stern) By Placing His Portrait On Stamp

    Is it possible that Zionist leaders intentionally hindered rescuing Europe's Jews to maximize their political gains? (Aaron Berman, p. 130-31 & 118-123, NYTimes, Jan. 4th, 1983)
    
    If we find out that Apolinary Hartglas' (the political secretary of the so-called Rescue Committee, a.k.a. the Death Panel) recommendation at the height of the calamity was implemented to the teeth, would you be surprised? For the record, Mr. Hartglas' recommended to consider European Jews' fate as doomed and all resources should be focused on building the state (Dina Porat, 245-6, and Yoav Gelber, p. 591). Wouldn't such a sinister evil plot explain why and how 7/8th of what was collected to rescue Jews was conveniently diverted to build their future state?
    
    Why did most of Europe's Jews VOTE with their feet and immigrate to the Americas to live with the Gentiles, although Palestine was emptied of its people? We all know that when someone votes with their feet, that speaks volumes, irrespective of what their tongue or keyboard says! Perhaps this explains why Arab Jews had to be airlifted in a hurry!
    
    Is it possible that Zionist leaders were as evil (if not more) than Hitler and his henchmen?
    

    Fake Valor: Jewish-Brigade, Italy April - 1945: The Impostering Hero, see me while I bomb Nazis ONLY a few weeks before WWII ended. We wonder: were any similar selfies taken at the al-Alamein meat grinder?
    MOST IMPORTANTLY: Why have Jews at large (especially Jewish intellectuals in the US) to this date haven't condemned Zionists' blatant antisemitism? From our investigation, Zionists' antisemitism is an open secret in the American Jewish community, but discussing is a taboo that can get you canceled.

    To answer these questions, first, we have to live in the Zionist collective mind once they recognized that the British Mandate was walking from their commitment to Zionists (as outlined in the Balfour Declaration), especially when Great Britain signed the White Paper of 1939 with Palestinians (who of course "don't exist"). When we examined Zionist leaders' communications at the time (mostly from Zionist sources), it became clear that their leadership faced an existential moment. In the annals of Zionism, this event cannot be underestimated; this event cannot be overemphasized!

    How The White Paper of 1939 Was a Turning Point For Zionism?

    NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis was left to the Gentiles so they could focus on defeating the White Paper.

    From Zionists' point of view, the White Paper of 1939 posed an existential crisis to the whole Zionist movement just a few months before WWII was underway, and Nazis were never the enemy from their point on. Zionists were facing a life-or-death situation (similar to the one they faced between 1930-33 when the Jewish Agency was almost bankrupt six years earlier, which pushed them into signing the Haavara agreement with Hitler). Zionist leaders behaved like a chicken with its head cut off. That is why all Zionist groups started their arms struggle (Aaron Berman, p. 70-71) against the British (inclusive of Haganah), which in many cases continued during WWII as the Holocaust was in progress (as was the case with Stern, Lehi, and the Irgun where some of them reached to Hitler for alliance ten months before Mufti did in early and late 1941).

    Since the White Paper put severe limits on future Jewish immigration to Palestine, that implied that defeating the White Paper had to become the most important priority for the whole Zionist movement, and everything else had to be tabled, including rescuing Jews. Actually, American Jewry voted on tabling rescue efforts and in favor of focusing on building the state during the American Jewish Conference in Sept. - Oct. 1943. YES, this happened when the last two million were alive!

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    After WWII was underway in Oct. 1939, David Ben-Gurion coined his famous slogan of: we shall fight the White Paper as if Hitler isn't there, and we shall fight Hitler as if the White Paper isn't there. On paper, this slogan sounded patriotic, and it had a nice ring. On the other hand, in practice, all Zionists knew well it was complete nonsense; fighting Hitler was never even considered. Don't take our word for it, read it from the heads of the Zionist movement in the US (Nahum Goldman and Rabbi Stephen Wise) in May 1943. What both said was and still is an open secret in the Zionist movement:

    We cannot press the Hitler button and the British and Palestine buttons at the same time! (NY Times, April 18th, 1982: AMERICAN JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST By Lucy S. Dawidowicz and The Abandonment of the Jews by David S. Wyman, p. 176)
    
    [What Zionist leaders outlined here actually reflected Jewish Agency's budget during the war. There was nothing allocated to fighting the Nazis, and very little was spent on rescue efforts! This alone should make you question everything about the Zionist narrative. Zionists' budget during the war spoke volumes.]

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    To put it simply, Nazis weren't THE enemy of the yishuv, and Rabbi Wise was 100% correct: Hitler and the White Paper cannot be fought at once; one of them had to give. In layman's terms, there was not enough bandwidth to fight both, and fighting Hitler (which is directly correlated with supporting rescue efforts to countries other than Palestine) was left to the Gentiles at best. Actually, in practice, Zionists hindered rescuing Europe's Jews (except if their destination was ONLY Palestine) to maximize defeating the White Paper of 1939. Thus, at the moment of crisis, Europe's Jews were left high and dry. Many Jews saw this coming way before WWII when the Ben-Gurion & Co. helped Nazis to break up the anti-Nazi boycott in 1933. Here is Edwin Black nailing it on the head way better than we did:

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    Meanwhile, the German government felt certain it had triggered the breakup of the boycott because the Zionist movement would now be in the German export business German Jewish wealth and emigrants would be transferred in a flow wholly dependent upon the purchase of German merchandise and commodities. The Jews of the world would now have to choose between fighting Hitler and building Palestine, preserving the old or securing the new. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 133-34)

    Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

    In a nutshell, the existential crisis that confronted Zionists in May 1939 intensified their fixation on Palestine as the ONLY solution to the so-called "Jewish problem" (Ben-Gurion spoke openly of exploiting Jewish pain and suffering in a way that could act as the LEVER that will create the "Jewish state"), and those Jews who immigrated to other havens than Palestine meant nothing to them (Ben-Gurion called saving Jews outside Palestine "Witch Doctor's Medicine"). Thus, our analysis explains:

    Why Ben-Gurion wished death upon those German Jewish children who immigrated to England soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom (and a month before Hitler's infamous hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939)!

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    Why did the Zionist leadership lobby against any haven for Jews except for Palestine?
    Why did Zionist leaders hinder any rescue effort unless the destination was Palestine?
    Why much of the rescue fund was stolen (Zionists would say "diverted" to the new state to-be) during WWII?
    Why the so-called yishuv avoided fighting the Nazis to the bitter end? Well, to be fair to the so-called yishuv, they saw little action at the war's end and managed to snap a few selfies at the front!
    Why did this evil policy continue even after WWII ended in the DP camps?
    Why did Zionist leaders attempt to hoard much of the rescue funds that could have been available to viable rescue schemes?
    Why did the word rescue have negative connotations to Zionists? YES, Ben-Gurion's stomach used to turn when the subject of rescuing Jews used to come up!
    Why did Zionist leaders suppressed and play down news of the calamity from the beginning?
    Why were Zionist leaders against bombing the death camps and the railroads leading to them?
    Why Haavara was s shutdown as late as December 1941, and Jewish Agency's offices in Berlin were closed in May 1941, but not much sooner?
    Why many Arab Jews were terrorized into leaving their homes in the early 1950s? Is it possible that the same thing happened in Warsaw after WWII ended? Well, it is all good guys. If you want the omelet, you must be willing to smash a few million eggs.

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    In the best of scenarios, Zionist leaders didn't care about Europe's Jews (irrespective of whether they knew that Shoah would happen) not only during the pogroms in the 1930s but, most importantly, as the calamity was being executed and after Shoah was concluded (in the displaced persons --DP camps). For Zionist leaders, Europe's Jews are alive only in "Eretz-Israel"; in the Zionist mind Europe's Jews will be dead no matter where they go except in Palestine (i.e. Witch Doctor's Medicine); as if Ben-Gurion looked upon their rescue as a betrayal too! Thus, why should the Jewish Agency "waste" its budget? On the other hand, we agree with Black's and Segev's earlier assessment: Zionists foresaw multiple Nakbas upon the Jews of Europe, played it safe with little to no risks, positioned themselves for maximum advantage, and all heeded Herzl's advice by turning Jewish plight into the lever, weapon and piggy bank that would build their "Jewish state".

    In layman's terms, this is precisely how Zionist leaders managed to monetize Jewish pain politically and economically. What has been sick is that many so-called "Jewish historians" perfectly know that our description of the events is accurate. Despite it, they've painted Zionists' policies as shrouded and pragmatic political calculation. Mazeltov Jews, give yourself a big hand on this "wonderful" ideology!

    Why Zionist Leaders Were Against Bombing the Death Camps & The Railroads leading to them?
    How Jewish Pain & Suffering Were Used to Maximize Zionists' Leveraging Power?

    Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together
    To maximize Zionists' leveraging power, their leaders even lobbied against bombing the death camps (and the railroads into them) much earlier than it had been previously known, and they only agreed after the Auschwitz Protocols were made public, although they knew about the use gas chambers (from multiple independent sources as we shall see soon) much earlier. For more details, see Beit-Zvi's excellent work in Chapter Three, also that was covered in Dina Porat's book chapter three as well, p. 22-33, which was also confirmed by Yoav Gelber - p. 587. Despite of that Ben-Gurion & Co. were were against bombing the death camps as late as June 11^th, 1944 (for more details, see Jewish Agency's meeting minutes on that date; and also read this JTA June 12^th, 1944 article how the usage of gas was an open secret at the time). For the love of God, reports used to arrive almost in real time via the Jewish Telegraph Agency. Also, we found that was the case as of Sept. 1943; perhaps much earlier. For example, read Aaron Berman's description of how Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver was against bombing the death camps and the railroads into them as of late 1943 during the American Jewish Conference, p. 114-15).
    
    In this regard, it is worth pointing out that the Auschwitz Protocols were translated into every language you could imagine almost immediately after their publication during WWII. On the other hand, the Protocols were only translated to Hebrew in the last couple of decades which is very telling of how Zionist censorship works in practice (Tony Greenstein, p. 206-208 and Ruth Linn). The same thing happened to the memoirs of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising's leaders! Since such an inconvenient truth must be )))antisemitic(((, thus Jews must be )))protected((( at all cost from those )))harmful facts(((!

    The Classical Optimization Problem

    To engineers, this is a classical optimization problem made up of two variables (rescue & defeating the White Paper of 1939) where increasing Jewish suffering (by starving & frustrating rescue schemes unless the destination was Palestine) could be converted into the LEVER that David Ben-Gurion often spoke of. This explains why the word "rescue" had negative connotations to Zionists since that implied starving them of funds. During WWII, this plot was executed to the maximum (read Chaim Weizmann's letter to Rabbi Stephen Wise in preparation for the Evian Conference and Apolinary Hartglas's recommendations; both articulated our point much better than we did). In a sinister way, Jewish suffering could be monetized and converted into political power, therefore, Jews could become a majority in Palestine, and that is exactly how the White Paper of 1939 could be defeated. Zionist leaders were fixated on defeating the White Paper, even at the cost of endangering millions of lives.

    
    Hannah Arendt, 1933

    Hannah Arendt (one of the top intellectuals in the 20th century) eloquently described Ben-Gurion's LEVER strategy as steam power; her below description extremely chilling:

    "Anti-Semitism was an overwhelming force, and the Jews would have either to make use of it or be swallowed up by it. In his [Herzl] own words, anti-Semitism was the 'propelling force' responsible for all Jewish suffering since the destruction of the Temple, and it would continue to make the Jews suffer until they learned how to use it for their own advantage [inclusive of fomenting it]. In expert hands [i.e. David Ben-Gurion & Co.] this 'propelling force' would prove the most salutary factor in Jewish life: it would be used in the same way that boiling water is used to produce steam power [which is exactly what Ben-Gurion called the LEVER]." by Hannah Arendt (written on May 1946, two years before Nakba. Here is an image grab too).

    From our research, we found that Zionist treason is an open secret in Jewish communities around the world, but discussing it in public is a taboo subject that can get you canceled (a.k.a. Arendted or Stoned about canceling Richard Goldstone after he published his report on the war on Gaza that happened in early 2009. Here is an interview with Prof. Finkelstein hinting that Judge Stone may have been blackmailed). Many Jewish intellectuals and historians avoided this subject altogether (who often use Palestinians, Poles, Catholic Pope, Henry Ford, IBM, W. Churchill, & FDR as patsies to deflect away from Zionists' treason) because they all saw how Hannah Arendt was publicly chewed, canceled, and even boycotted in the early 1960s (yes, the same land of Kapos that refused to boycott Nazis boycotted Arendt) when she exposed the Kapo phenomenon (although she didn't explicitly link this phenomenon to Zionists; she clearly implicated them), and how the Kapo system greased the Nazi killing machine (see Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem" book, Chapter VII - p. 153-178). That said, sporadically, Zionists' treasons resurface in the media when Zionist groups wish to settle political points against each other (Menachem Begin exploited the kapo files to the teeth in the early 1950s during the Kastner Trial and in the late 1970s). Only then, you will hear about the Kapo files (i.e., the infamous Kastner Train) and the impact of Zionists' policies & actions during the 1930s and 40s on the Holocaust. Soon after WWII ended, most of Europe's Jews knew of Zionists' treason during the 1930s and WWII; that was (and still is) an open secret. That's why Europe's Jews flipped their middle fingers to Ben-Gurion and said: BRAVO, you have built it; fine. Now you live in it; we are not your LEVER; we are VOTING with our feet and immigrating across the world to the Americas to live with the Gentiles. Does this explain why Arab Jews were AIRLIFTED directly from their homes (1st of its kind for so-called refugees) in a hurry after Palestine was emptied of its people? Does this explain why Iraqi Jews were nudged into leaving? Well, some people had to fill in the void that was created due to Nakba!

    In a nutshell, Zionist leaders worked hand over fist to close all windows in a burning house and left one exit (Palestine) to Europe's Jews to maximize their political gains; in their minds, fomenting antisemitism intensified the refugee crises, which they hoped it could act as the LEVER (using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) that would create the "Jewish state." That is how much they "valued Jewish life" at the height of the calamity. Therefore, in practice, Zionists of all shades and color executed David Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech to the teeth, which he articulated a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom. Mission accomplished; Mazeltov. The question is: could Zionist leaders reactivate their LEVER again against Jewish communities around the world? Why change a winning formula?

    Back To Haavara FAQs

28. Kapos (a.k.a. collaborators or functionaries): Why were most of those Kapos Zionist activists? What was their role in making the death camps mean killing machines?

    
    A kapo chief in one of Lithuania's death camps

    As we started researching the Haavara Agreement, we kept coming across so many Zionist Jews who collaborated (a.k.a. kapos) with the Nazi occupation in Europe during WWII to save their necks (chief among them are Chaim Rumkowski, Avraham Gancwajch, Lotek Salzwasser, Moshe Merin, Jacob Gens, Oskar Neumann, Adam Czerniakow who committed suicide, Apolinary Hartglas, Joel Brand, and Dr. Rezso Kastner). Although Leo Back was a non-Zionists, he led couple of major Zionist organizations in Germany. Initially, it was assumed that those were aberrations and isolated cases. We also knew of Ze'ev Jabotinsky's collaboration with Symon Petliura (a couple of decades earlier during the largest massacre of Jews before the Holocaust), but honestly we didn't think much of it. On the other hand, it quickly became apparent that the Nazis preferred to work with Zionists activists for some reasons, although they were a minority amongst Europe's Jews (Dan Porat, p . 35-36).

    Slowly, a pattern started to emerge and we started asking the hard questions: why did the Nazis prefer Zionists over other Jews to work with? What was so special about Zionists that made them appealing for Nazis to work with? Why did David Ben-Gurion & Co. go on a limp to defend, hasbarah, and protect the indefensible, especially in the case of the infamous Dr. Kastner? Why the kapo files are still locked, although much of the Zionist archives were released? Why were the Israeli courts initially reluctant to look into this phenomenon and only relented when Jews started taking the law into their own hands? Even when kapos were later tried, why did the courts and society almost give them free passes when other countries hanged traitors for much, much lesser crimes? We shall address those questions shortly, but first, an introduction to this taboo subject is required.

    A Brief Introduction

    From our research, we found that the Kapos phenomenon was an open secret in Europe and pre-Nakba Palestine, which explains why the majority of Europe's Jews voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles, not to Palestine although it was emptied of its people. When Hannah Arendt (one of the towering intellectual figures of the 20th century) first brought this phenomenon to the public attention in her "Eichmann in Jerusalem" book (see Chapter VII - p. 153-178 with our added commentary) in 1963, Zionists and their top dogs in the US, UK, and Europe ganged upon her and almost canceled her for good. Although Ms. Arendt didn't point the finger directly at Zionists. Ms. Arendt was accused (by Zionist propagandists) of "blaming the Jews for the Holocaust" and for giving a slap on the wrist to the Nazis (conflating Zionism with Judaism is a common Zionist tactic).

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    Ms. Arendt's presentation unequivocally implied that it was Zionist leaders' collaboration with Nazis (in the death camps) to blame (especially when she cited only Zionist leaders as the main kapos), and it is strongly suspected that David Ben-Gurion was in her crosshairs. When you read Ms. Arendt's presentation (see Chapter VII), you will clearly understand how kapos made Nazis' killing machines extremely efficient, the camps were mostly manned by Jews, very cost-effective (i.e., the camps were manned by only a few thousand SS guards), and above all, how the whole killing process was streamlined from A to Z. Ms. Arendt's analysis explains why 3/4 of the French Jews survived the Holocaust since they refused to cooperate with the French Judenrat? (Tony Greenstein, p. 194-5, the fact France had no central registry for Jews also played a big factor).
    
    It is worth NOTING that Ms. Arendt's work was mostly based on Raul Hilberg's seminal work in The Destruction of the European Jews who struggled to publish his work for 12 years (guess by whom, yes the Ministry of Truth). That said, Hannah takes credit for publicizing this phenomenon and for providing the relevant context that was initially missing.

    The Backlash

    
    Hannah Arendt, 1933

    In a nutshell, Ms. Arendt made a compelling case that the Jews went to their death (as sheep going to the slaughterhouse) because of Jewish leadership's corporations with Nazis (most of whom were Zionist activists, see Dan Porat p. 35-36). She explained how Jews would've been much better off if they were leaderless. In retaliation, much of Ms. Arendt's work was boycotted by Zionist Jews worldwide, especially in Israel, Europe, the UK, and the US, and her work was only translated to Hebrew in the last decade or so (the same goes for the heroes of the Warsaw ghetto uprising). Sadly, Jewish communities shunned Ms. Arendt, and only a handful came to her defense. Yes, ladies and gentlemen; the same impostering heroes (a.k.a. Zionist Jews)
    who banned all kinds of anti-Nazi protests in the 1930s,
    who marketed Nazi goods all over MENA and Europe to break the anti-Nazi boycott,
    who sued for libel the person who identified Dr. Kastner as the chief Hungarian Kapo,
    who lobbied to close off all possible safe havens except for Palestine,
    who welcomed wearing the yellow star of David with the slogan: Wear it with pride,
    who fomented antisemitism, hoping it would create a European Jewish refugee crisis that could act as the LEVER to create the Jewish state,
    who welcomed Eichmann to Palestine in 1937,
    who gave Hitler ideas on how to murder Jews four years ahead of the Final Solution. To this date, Jews in mass never condemned Ben-Gurion's antisemitism and
    who hoisted the Swastika flags on their fleet for almost a decade, although Hitler never demanded it? Zionists were even ahead of the German Navy hoisting the Swastika; all good guys. It was done with good intentions to "save Jews."

    ...the Land of Kapos managed to boycott the free and brave Jew who called a spade a spade; soon, we shall expose Zionists' cowardliness and treason (from Zionist and Israeli sources) before, during, and after the calamity; stay tuned.

    Earlier, we asked: why did the Nazis prefer Zionists over others to work with? What was so special about Zionists that made them appealing to the Nazis? The answer to these questions is embedded in the Zionist ideology that Theodor Herzl ingrained into his followers: don't resist or confront Europe's antisemites, antisemites will become Zionists' best allies; turn Jews' enemies into allies; collaborating with the antisemites is a win-win situation (see The Transfer Agreement, p. 226)! Of course, Herzl never anticipated that such an ideology would have deadly side effects, not only against non-Zionist Jews but also against Zionist Jews.

    
    Krakow Ghetto Police

    Herzl's followers believed in his marching orders to the core, and to this date, it is still being religiously followed as if it is divine guidance (the false version, of course), especially by all Zionist leadership from inception. In a nutshell, Herzl's marching orders set Zionists on a path that turned them into eager servants to Europe's antisemites as long that would serve them in creating the "Jewish state", which explains why they welcomed wearing the yellow badge eight years before Hitler asked them to do so. And when the calamity started, they were well conditioned to play this part instinctively, which the Nazis exploited to the teeth. That is why Zionists to this day have sought alliances with every European antisemite you could name; we call it: the martial art of Jujitsu in politics (in this context, it was more like the art of becoming Nazis' "bitch"; a few steps worse than House Nxxxr character in the African American community) which Hannah Arendt elegantly described as the steam energy that rises from boiling water in 1946 as follows:

    "Anti-Semitism was an overwhelming force, and the Jews would have either to make use of it or be swallowed up by it. In his [Herzl] own words, anti-Semitism was the 'propelling force' responsible for all Jewish suffering since the destruction of the Temple and it would continue to make the Jews suffer until they learned how to use it for their advantage [inclusive of fomenting it]. In expert hands [i.e. David Ben-Gurion & Co.] this 'propelling force' would prove the most salutary factor in Jewish life: it would be used in the same way that boiling water is used to produce steam power [which is exactly what Ben-Gurion called the LEVER]." by Hannah Arendt (written on MAY 1946, 2 years before Nakba)

    The Unforeseen Side Effects of Appeasing Antisemites

    On the other hand, Huston, we have a big problem: the policy of collaboration with antisemites could ricochet back and burn Zionists as well. Even the most cooperative of those kapos (who served the Nazis better than any SS guard); ended up going to the death camps, and many of them were killed when they were identified. Yes, they were last; yes, they were treated better with lots of privileges the mass majority didn't get; but in the end, from the Nazis' point of view: a Jew was a Jew. Therefore, what is the difference between the kapo in Palestine (i.e., Ben-Gurion and Co.) and those in Poland's death camps? Just imagine if Erwin Rommel managed to make it to Palestine from Libya, which was a viable scenario then, especially after the British defeat in Greece and Crete, plus Vichy's control over Syria, Lebanon and Algeria. Remember that the US entered the war in late 1941, and at the time, it was a global power whatsoever. The answer is simple: the only difference was pure luck, a little timing, those brave Gentiles who defended Egypt (many of whom were Arabs & Muslims), and just a little geography, of course. Therefore, we ask:
    If Rommel made it to Palestine, would Zionist leaders in Palestine have resisted or cooperated with Nazis as many of their ideological brothers did simultaneously in Europe?
    If it was true that tens of thousands of the so-called yishuv volunteered and served in the British Army during WWII, why none of them showed up at the meat grinders in North Africa?
    Is it possible that Ben-Gurion and Co. wanted to save them to fight the real enemy after the war ends: The evil Arab who now replaced the Nazis in the minds of somany Jews?

    To prove what was written earlier is an open secret in Jewish communities, and it wasn't just a Palestinian anti-Zionist rant, here's Nahum Goldmann (one of the most important founding fathers of the "Jewish state" who lived those fateful moments in the 1930s and 40s) looked back with great remorse and painful regrets at those events. Mr. Goldmann wondered how many Jews might have survived if Jews (especially Zionist Jews) chose to confront Europe's antisemites instead of appeasing them! Mr. Goldmann came to the same conclusion that Ms. Arendt articulated earlier: Jews would have fared much better if they were leaderless! Here is a fun fact: Mr. Goldmann got slightly better treatment than Ms. Arendt; Zionists chewed him as well.

    If Zionists' policies and actions before, during, and after the calamity were not the embodiment of fake valor and cowardliness, we don't know what is! Here are the boring details: only a few of the so-called yishuv took action at the war's end. On the other hand, the so-called yishuv managed to take a few selfies to show off their "valor"! For some people, Hasbarah (the Israeli version of a gaslight) is way more important than air, water, and food combined.

    Here is the unvarnished truth: the kapos in the death camps were no different from the kapos in Palestine; both were similar threads cut from the same cloth. And if Rommel made it to Palestine (which was a viable scenario then, as we pointed out earlier), Ben-Gurion & Co. would have gotten Chaim Rumkowski's fate. Both did what was best to serve their interests and to save their necks. Did Dr. Kastner "save" 1,600 Jews? YES, he did. 1,600 Zionists in return for streamlining the murder of 437,000 Hungarian Jews. If you think about it, Zionist Jews in Palestine were the worst type of Kapos, who were making life-or-death decisions for Europe's Jews while they were living under British protection, which many of them were undermining WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland! And when Ms. Arendt explained (backed with evidence & logical arguments) how the Nazi killing machine came to be so efficient and streamlined, she was chewed and spit out by a Zionist mob (some described it as a pogrom) because she dared to expose Zionists' role in greasing Nazis' lean mean killing machine. That is exactly why Palestinians are being used as the perfect deflection tool to hide Zionists' treasons during the 1930s and 40s.

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    God forbid you think our framing of the events was way over the top, we ask you to contemplate how why Haim Greenberg (one of the towering American Jewish Zionist intellectuals) wrote on Feb 12^th, 1943 in the Jewish Frontier a few months after the Holocaust became known:

    The time has come, perhaps, when the few Jewish communities remaining in the world, which are still free to make their voices heard and to pray in public, should proclaim a day of fasting and prayer for American Jews. No--this is not a misprint. I mean specifically that a day of prayer and of fasting should be proclaimed for the five million Jews now living in the United States. They live under the protection of a mighty republic governed by democratic laws. . . . The vast majority of them have enough food to eat, clothes to wear and roofs over their heads. . . . Nevertheless, they deserve to be prayed for. They are not even aware what a misfortune has befallen them, and if they were to look at themselves with seeing eyes they would realize with shock how intolerable this misfortune is. . . . If moral bankruptcy deserves pity, and if this pity is seven-fold for one who is not even aware of how shocking his bankruptcy is, then no Jewish community in the world today (not even the Jews who are now in the claws of the Nazi devourer) deserves more compassion from Heaven than does American Jewry. (The "Other" New York Jewish Intellectuals, p. 46)
    
    [Mr. Greenberg was one of the few labor Zionists who dared to challenge Ben-Gurion & Co., advocating for the encouragement of all possible havens for Jewish refugees. Notably, he was the driving force behind the proposal to relocate Europe's Jewish refugees to Alaska; however, his suggestions were quickly rejected. Therefore, when he wrote this article, it didn't come out of the blue. Haim's frustration was building up, and then he exploded in early 1943. We are sure that Haim was angry during the American Jewish Conference.]

    Questions And Answers About Kapos

    • Did Zionist Jews directly cause the calamity? Hell no, but were they enablers of the Nazis from day one? Hell yes. To this date and way after the fact, they keep on using Palestinians as a deflection tool to cover up for their deeds.
    • Did individual Zionists fight the Nazis in Europe? Yes; on the other hand, Zionists' leadership in mass refrained from fighting the Nazis. Zionist leaders sent clear instructions to their followers in Nazi-occupied territories to leave for Palestine (i.e., Frumka Plotnicka, Zivia Lubetkin, and Adam Czerniakow), not resist the Nazis, and reject the Masada mentality (Dina Porat, 241-43). See for yourself how the Jewish Agency went on limp to secure exit visas, permits, and transportation to its leaders before Jews were blocked from leaving Nazi-occupied territories in Oct. 1941. (The Jews of Warsaw, p. 17-18)
    • Were all Judenrat collaborators with the Nazis? Of course, no (especially in the case of the Romanian Jews). Actually, from our research, we found many who helped the resistance against the Nazis (as we pointed out earlier, many of those were Zionists). On the other hand, that doesn't invalidate Arendt’s central point: Jews would've been much better off being leaderless, and that explains a high survival rate among French Jews who refused to cooperate with Jurendats (Tony Greenstein, p. 194-5; the same could be said about Bulgaria's experience). It might interest you to know the case of Gisi Fleischmann, who actually started being part of the Slovakian Judenrat. When she recognized how dangerous they were (exactly as Arendt articulated earlier), she flipped on them by mid-1942. Please pay attention to how Zionists asked her repeatedly to leave for Palestine. At the last minute, she refused (she was in the last batch that arrived at Auschwitz), which was exactly what they did to Zionists who chose to resist Nazis during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
    • Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?
      Was there any quid-pro-quo (i.e., neutrality pact) between Zionist leaders and Nazis? Although we found no evidence of that, at the same time, we wouldn't be surprised if we discovered that was the case in the future. Keep in mind that the Jewish Agency's offices in Berlin closed their doors in May of 1941, and Haavara was officially shut down in late December of 1941, therefore, this should not be discounted. Zionists always did what was good for Zionism, inclusive of risking Jews' lives and empowering antisemites.
    • Note how Zionist Revisionists (i.e., Irgun, Herut, Stern, & Lehi) always exploited the Kapo files, not because they were any better. On the contrary, many of their leaders reached out to Hitler for an alliance ten months before Mufti Haj Amin did. Menachem Begin always reminded Labour Zionists (i.e., Mapai) that it was them who sent a condolence letter to Hitler when President Hindenburg died in August 1934. On the other hand, Mr. Begin conveniently forgot that it was the Irgun who bombed WWII war efforts while his family was being gassed in Poland! Sporadically, the Kapo files appear in the media to settle political points; here is one of them, but be seated first.
    • 
      Warsaw Ghetto Police directing Jews to death camps' trains
      After the 1939 White Paper: Didn't Ben-Gurion state that the so-called yishuv should fight Hitler as if the white paper isn't there, and to fight the white paper as if Hitler isn't there? YES, but Zionists' leadership quickly discovered there was no bandwidth to fight both (Hitler & white paper), and of course, they left the Goems to fight Hitler! (NY Times April 18th, 1982)
    • Did Zionist leaders foment antisemitism, hoping it would create a refugee crisis that would act as the lever (using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) to create the "Jewish state"? Hell yes.
    • Did Zionist leaders know it would blow up in their faces? Probably not, but that doesn't matter. What matters is when it blew up, and the calamity was known to them, did they care or change course? Hell no.
    • Did Zionist leaders instruct their followers in Europe to play it safe and to work as kapos with Nazis? We have no evidence that that is the case. That said, we haven't seen any evidence to the contrary either, which is damning by itself. At a minimum, there are no records of the Zionist leaders instructing Dr. Kastner and Mr. Brand to stop being chief Kapos when they get the chance to do so. As stated earlier, many of the Kapo files are locked, and very little has been released.
    • Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?
      Did Zionist leaders hinder rescuing those Jews who could be saved in places other than Palestine? Hell YES.
    • Can we blame prisoners for collaborating with those who were torturing them? Hell no. On the other hand, what happened in the death camps was unique; even the enslaved Blacks in the Americas didn't go through a similar experience. In this experience, the traitors crossed several red lines. First, except for a few, Kapos knew well they would most likely end up dead sooner or later. Meaning their collaboration was done when they knew they would get very little in return. At least in the case of the slaves, they knew in advance they would be kept alive. Second, Kapos were responsible for streamlining the killing process, which explains why many committed suicide when they recognized how dangerous to the group they were! Third, we need to separate the low-level functionaries from the leaders who efficiently graced the killing machine. Fourth, to give a free pass to Kapos, especially to the most notorious ones, is reckless and dangerous.
      
      For the love of God, this dangerous phenomenon could be repeated ("again") to Jews and non-Jews alike; that is why most societies lynched traitors who did far lesser of crimes. Actually, the way Zionists slapped Kapos on the wrist is very telling. Why did that happen? Do you honestly think Israeli Jews would tolerate traitors who pose an existential threat to their state and people? Hell no! Everything about Kapos in the Zionist narrative smells!
    • Did the Zionist leadership behave like a chicken with its head cut off during Dr. Kastner's trials? Hell YES. Chief Kapo, Ben-Gurion, went on limp to defend Dr. Kastner and pressured the Supreme Court to clear his name (to this date, the court proceedings are locked, although the Zionist archives have been opened for the past four decades).
    • It is simple and stupid: to judge Dr. Kastner implied judging Chief Kapo, Mr. Ben-Gurion. Are you surprised that Dr. Kastner was found dead just before his trial was about to get underway? Are you surprised that later, we found that the Shin-Bet had a hand in murdering him? The whole Kastner trial(s) explain why Zionists' dogs chewed Ms. Arendt when she addressed the same subject just a few years later. Thank God she was a citizen of "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Otherwise, she would have wound up dead as Dr. Kastner.
    • Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?
      To add salt to injury, the Jewish Agency sent Dr. Kastner to the Nuremberg Trails to defend genocidal Nazis (Adolf Eichmann's aids, chief among them are the infamous SS officers Hermann Krumey, Kurt Becher, and Dieter Wisliceny) "allegedly to recover hidden Jewish wealth" (assuming you are gullible enough to believe this fish story, how that was not a crime by itself), and suppressing Nazi-Zionists ties or some quid pro quo deal with West Germany had nothing to do with it. For God's sake, can we contemplate this counterfactual scenario: what if Adolf Eichmann hadn't escaped to Argentina after WWII; then it would've been logical for the Jewish Agency to ask Dr. Kastner to testify in Eichmann's defense too; why not? It is all "good" guys; don't make a big deal out of it; it was done to "save Jews' lives", and of course to "recover Ali Baba's stolen Jewish treasures"! Pay attention to how the Jewish public at large was furious with Jewish Agency's conduct when it sent Dr. Kastner to defend the Nazis who managed the execution of the Holocaust. Based on our research, Zionists' treason was (and still is to a large degree) an open secret in Jewish communities around the world. The amount of gaslight that Jews have been consuming since WWII ended must have been at an industrial scale. We wonder how long this shall last? This treason must have been covered in the Jewish press; we are investigating this incident as we speak; we are willing to pay for news clips; stay tuned!
    • Assume all prior arguments and facts are Palestinians Hasbarah, please contemplate this fact: How Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech (when he incited the murder of German Jewish children a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom) wasn't much worse than Rumkowski's "give me your children" speech which he made during WWII in Lodz's Ghetto? The only difference was the little luck that Rommel didn't make it to Palestine, little timing, a place, four years, and how both died. It should be noted that what consumed Zionist leadership during the critical years of 1942 and 1943 wasn't confronting the threats from the Nazis or how to save Europe's Jews. On the contrary, what consumed them was how to garner political support for the creation of their "Jewish state" (especially in the US during the Biltmore and the American Jewish Conferences) after the end of the war (for more details, please read what Peter Grose wrote about this subject).

      Who is the worst Kapo: Chaim Rumkowski Vs. David Ben-Gurion?
      What was tragically funny was that Zionists kicked out Ze'ev Jabotinsky from their World Zionist Organization because he played it safe with Symon Petliura (the Ukrainian antisemitic nationalist) during the infamous pogroms after WWI ended (which was the largest mass murder of Jews ever at the time), but gave free passes to those who did far worse three decades later! We highly recommend this Haaretz article if you are interested in the boring, embarrassing details.
    • If King Chaim Rumkowski (pay attention to how the Times Of Israel has omitted that King Chaim was a Zionist activist, thanks to Polish Jews who exposed this important detail) hadn't been killed in Auschwitz by the Jews whom he sent there just months earlier, and he made it to Israel like many other Kapos after the war ended,

      Do you have any doubts that he would have walked free? Why not? Wasn't the Israeli government the one that sued for libel those who described Dr. Kastner as the Kapo in chief? Ben-Gurion & Co. would have done the same thing to those who exposed King Chaim in Israel!
       Just imagine if King Chaim was killed (sorry, murdered) in Israel rather than in Auschwitz; those would-be killers would have been tried for murder in the Land of Kapos! In Kapo Land, Kapos stick together. That is the best way to save lives.
      Does that explain why most kapos walked free?
      Does this explain why Zionist Jews gave the antisemites who persecuted them in Europe a free pass three years after WWII ended?
      Was there a quid-pro-quo in return for political and economic support after Nakba?
      How doesn't that explain why Zionists use Palestinians as patsies to deflect away from their treason?

    The evidence is clear, and actions spoke loud: Zionist leaders didn't care even at the height of the calamity, and that makes them as guilty as Nazis for the Holocaust. On the contrary, they diverted rescue funds to save their necks in Palestine and to build their future state. Please don't take our word for it; examine their budget between Jan. 1943 to May 1945 to draw your conclusions. On top of that, Zionists fomented antisemitism and turned it into a weapon against Europe's Jews, hoping it would instigate a refugee crisis (as it was engineered by Herzl just a few decades earlier); Zionist leaders lobbied to close off all possible safe havens except for Palestine, which persisted even after WWII ended in the displaced persons camps. Why else American Jews' investigation of Zionists' policies during the 1930s & 40s was nixed in early 1983? Hash Hash; don't even dare to bring it up! (NY Times, Jan. 4th, 1983)

    Not to anyone's surprise, Zionist Jews shamelessly replicated a similar social control system to manage the occupied Palestinians, with a very similar structure, hierarchies, and even the same vocabulary have been recycled. Does that explain why Zionists never condemned Hitler's Nuremberg laws? Why would they? Aren't birds of a feather often flock together?

    Zionism: what a terrible disease of the mind.

    For completeness' sake, we found Lenni Brenner's, Raul Hilberg's work in The Destruction of the European Jews, Tony Greenstein, and Faris Yahya's research on this subject are second to none. For completeness, we have decided to include Mr. Yahya's Chapter (V). We hope you will find it informative.

    The Ghetto Revolts

    
    Zionist Relations with Nazi German: Chapter V The Ghetto Revolts by Faris Yahya

    History records no proclamation of revolt by the Zionist movement against Nazism in Europe. It is relevant to ask why. As a Jewish writer has asked, "Why was there no Jewish self-defense organised and in readiness? There were also scores upon scores of thousands of Jewish soldiers in the army Of the Polish Republic. Why was there no guiding hand to instruct some of them at least to bring their weapons home, to store them away... so that later, when the Jewish fighting organisations did arise, they should have at least some equipment with which to face the Nazis?"(44)

    It should be noted that Poland's Jews accounted for about half the 6 million Jews estimated to have been butchered by Nazism. Despite the lack of any preparation of this type, the Jews of Europe distinguished themselves by many gallant acts of resistance against their oppressors, that have been well documented by Jewish historians like Reuben Ainsztein, who wrote a massive and thorough work on the subject. Large numbers of Jews joined partisan movements, particularly in Nazi-occupied areas of the Soviet Union, and also staged remarkable uprisings in ghettos and even in concentration camps. But in his painstaking 849-page study. Ainsztein does not quote a single instance of military assistance to these revolts by the Zionist movement's highly organised worldwide apparatus outside Nazi-occupied Europe. In fact, he repeatedly pointed out that the only allies the ghetto fighters had outside their ghetto walls were local groups of leftists or other anti-Nazis, such as the People's Guard (later People's Army) Of the Communist Polish Workers' Party. (45)

    This is all the more remarkable since Ainsztein is himself pro-Zionist and his book is liberally filled with both anti-Soviet comments and glorification of those Zionist individuals and small groups that were overwhelmed by the holocaust after 1941 and often had little choice but to resist. After the collapse of the Zionist migration accords at that time, a number of Zionist groups, notably in Poland, found themselves unable to communicate with the Zionist leadership outside Nazi-held territory. As the leader of one of these groups, in a letter urging the right-wing Polish Home Army to supply the Warsaw ghetto with arms, wrote: "How we regret that we have no possibilities of direct contact with the governments of the Allied States, with the Polish Government and Jewish organisations abroad." (46)

    The ghetto revolts constitute a remarkable, even unique form of resistance by the Jews in areas of Eastern Europe. They arose when the inhabitants of the ghettos realised that the Nazi aim was their extermination. Some ghettos learned this earlier than others. "That the aim of the Germans was the total annihilation of all the Jews they could get hold of became obvious to the mass of Warsaw Jews only in the summer of 1942 when in three months 300,000 were dispatched to the gas chambers of Treblinka and other places of slaughter. Even in Bialystok, despite the massacres that followed the capture of the city by the Wehrmacht, it was possible for a Jew to delude himself that a remnant of the ghetto's Jews might be allowed by the Germans to survive. Butin Vilno the truth about the nature of the Nazis' Jew-hatred became obvious to those who had the moral and physical courage to face it even before the end of 1941." (47)

    The fact that Nazi extermination plans became widely known to Jews in Europe shortly after their implementation began is also confirmed by Joseph Tenenbaum, who pointed out that the Nazis were not able for long to conceal the news of their death camps. "The news of the Treblinka murder camp came like a thunderclap. Some had heard of it before; they whispered about it. There was news from Chelmno of the mass extermination of Jews in gas-filled vans. There was terrible news brought by refugees from Wilno of the massacres of Jews in Slonim, Baranowicze, and other places. But who could believe such atrocities to be possible? Soon, however, there came incontrovertible proof.

    In July 1942, 'Zygmunt' (Frydrych) was delegated to verify the story of Treblinka. He reached Malkynia. There he met Esriel Wallach, an escaped prisoner from Treblinka, who confirmed the worst rumors. Frydrych brought back the sad tidings to Warsaw, whence it spread throughout occupied Poland. The underground Jewish organisation closed ranks. They disseminated the Treblinka news and brought this information to the attention of all." (48)

    Zionists were the only non-Nazi parties allowed to operate in Nazi Germany! Pay attention to Betar's SS look like uniforms!

    "As early as December 1941, Edek Boraks, Israel Kempner, and Pinczewski were sent to Warsaw with the news of Ponary. Another team, Chayka Grossman and Tamara Schneiderman, carried authentic information about the developments in Wilno. Bela Chazan under the assumed name and passport of Bronia Limanowski made personal contact with Grodno. There were no ghetto walls for these winged messengers. A Wilno 'courier' constantly on the move was Lea (Leonia) Kazibrodska. She was apprehended and executed in April 1942. Frumka Plotnicka, who carried money appropriated by the Joint Distribution director in Warsaw for the use of the youth organisations in Wilno, also brought the news of Treblinka. She later traveled to Kowel where she organised an underground movement and established connections with Bialystok. Among the non-Jewish couriers who served the cause with distinction were Irena Adamowicz and Jadzia Dudziec. (49)

    Historians generally agree that Vilno (also known as Wilno or Vilna) was the city where the Jews first became aware Of German extermination plans after large numbers had been executed at the nearby site of Ponary, and also where the first attempt to organise a Jewish resistance movement began. In its first appeal, this movement declared: "Let us not go like sheep to the slaughter! It is true that we are weak and we have nobody to help us. But our only dignified answer to the enemy must be resistance." 50 Vilno Jews carried out sabotage actions against the Nazis, but their hopes for a mass uprising did not materialise.

    
    How does justifying Haavara after the fact doesn't resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense for what happened on his famous train but at a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    A major factor in this failure was the role of Jacob Gens, a leading Zionist collaborator with the Nazis, who eventually made him chief of a Jewish police force in Vilno. "He stands all by himself because no other ghetto leader went so far in serving the Nazis as Gens: no other ghetto leader used his police force to carry out the actual killing of Jews. Nor did any other ghetto leader play such an effective part in sabotaging Jewish participation in the partisan movement... He combined Lithuanian nationalism with the fascist brand of Zionism represented by Jabotinsky's followers by being a member of the Revisionist Brith Hakhayil (Military Organisation)... "As soon as the surviving Vilno Jews were crammed into two ghettos on 6 and 7 September 1941, Gens became the deputy commander of the ghetto police whose commander, Muszkat, was a lawyer from Warsaw and also a Revisionist. His programme and philosophy were no different from those of Barasz, Rumkowski, Merin or other collaborationist ghetto leaders: he too argued that a remnant of Jews might survive if they made themselves economically useful to the German war machine. However, it was not his success in building workshops in the ghetto that endeared him to the Gestapo, but his ruthlessness in delivering Jewish victims and his usefulness in preventing the flight of young Jews into the forests to join the partisans...

    "Having embraced both as a Jew and as a Lithuanian ideology that extolled the virtues of leadership, he found it possible to believe that he had a mission to fulfill and that he knew what was good for his Jewish subjects. Since work alone was not enough to ensure the survival of his Jews, he was ready to assume the responsibility for selecting the victims who had to feed the Nazi Moloch. And he did this sufficiently that by the autumn of 1942, the Gestapo made him the dictator not only of the Vilno ghetto but also of all the surviving rural ghettos in the Vilno region." In October 1942, the Nazis told Gens they wanted 1,500 Jews killed in Oshmyany ghetto. Later they "agreed to reduce the number Of victims to 400 provided they were selected and killed by Gens's policemen." Gens agreed and sent his Chief of Police Salek Desler (also a Revisionist) with 30 policemen. ney selected over 410 sick and old people whom they killed themselves. Gens defended his action by claiming "it is our duty to save the strong and the young and not to let ourselves be overcome by sentiments." (51)

    "On April 5, 1943, an announcement appeared on the walls of the ghetto, urging Jews who had relatives in Kovno to join the transports from the neighbouring villages, principally from Snipiszok, allegedly bound for Kovno. The announcement was couched in alluring language, depicting better living conditions and easier housing accommodations than were available in the crowded Wilno ghetto. Gens put himself out for the Kovno scheme, and many unsuspecting victims volunteered to join the Kovno caravan. All in all, some 5,000 Jews mounted the trains... It soon became evident that instead of proceeding to Kovno the trains were unloaded at Pona and the victims were mowed down with machine guns. Some of the victims, however, were able to fire."

    Ben-Gurion’s nightmare was to build the Jewish state, and European Jews won’t immigrate. That’s exactly what happened after Nakba. That is why he airlifted Arabs Jews directly from their countries.

    "On April 5, 1943, an announcement appeared on the walls of the ghetto, urging Jews who had relatives in Gens played a particularly treacherous role in betraying the leader of the Vilno ghetto resistance, Itzik Witenberg, who was a Communist and thus a particular target for the hatred of the right-wing Revisionists. "One night Witenberg was arrested by a ruse of the Jewish police, but was rescued by his alerted comrades and returned to the headquarters unharmed... Unfortunately, the volatile Gens and his ruthless police commissioner, Sala Desler, out-witted everybody, including themselves. They promptly sent out their police hounds, aided by the scum of the ghetto, to round up the crowd for an urgent meeting. The people thronged obediently. Before a vast assembly, Gens displayed his uncanny sense of appealing to the fear instinct of a trembling multitude. He harangued the crowd with warnings not to let one man's personal safety jeopardise the safety of all, and he relayed the alleged plans of the Gestapo to wipe out the ghetto at one blow with bombs, tanks, artillery, and all the fires oi hell, unless the ultimatum of surrendering Witenberg was met. "Under this blackmail, "at the appointed hour Witenberg surrendered to the bloody Desler, who handed turn over to the Gestapo... The backbone of the movement was broken. A pall of terror hung over everything. It was no use denying that the Gestapo had won a decisive victory without a fight." (53)

    After Witenberg's death, the Zionists managed to ensure that one of their number, Abba Kovner. succeeded the representative of the 'Hashomer him. "Kovner, Hatzair', succeeded in appointing himself as commander of the underground fighting forces in Vilno, (Vilno, Wilno, and Vilna are variant spellings of the same place name) which hoarded ammunition and recruited strong, trained individuals, prepared for battle. But it never used its resources against the Germans in the ghetto and, consequently, Kovner arrived at an agreement with the head Of the ghetto (Gens) and the leader of the Jewish police (Desler), according to which they were obligated, in exchange for the holding back of action by the underground, not to harm any of its members ? and also to promise them exit from the ghetto on the verge of its final destruction. These three--Gens, Desler, and Kovner--held a common view, which was also the approach of Dr. Weizmann and Nathan Schwalb, Jewish Agency representative in Switzerland: to sacrifice the aged and the multitude, and to save the 'elite' group of youth 'our friends'...

    "When representatives of the partisans arrived in Vilna, with news of the final solution and advice to the Jews of Vilna to save themselves in the forests and join the partisan camps, what did Kovner do?

    "The representatives of the partisans Kovner kept isolated so that they should not come in contact with the crowds in the ghetto and they shouldn't organise groups of plain Jews for escape into the forests.

    "However, escape into the forest does not remain a secret to the residents. Every time a group leaves, hordes run after them and want to join them. But, according to Kovner's orders, a thorough search is carried out at the time of the departure and the Jews are chased away from the gate. Only infrequently does one of them succeed in mingling with the fighters and get out with them. It is interesting thing that just these 'illegals' are later to become the best fighters in the forests. "The Jews begin to gossip about the head of the organisation, Kovner: how is he better than the commander of the police? One decides who will die, and the other chooses who is allowed to live. They permitted hundreds of Jews to be slaughtered who certainly would have succeeded in making an important contribution in the fight against the enemy, and it is Jews whc lock the gates of rescue before them. "The fate of the Vilna ghetto was sealed. The day before the final annihilation arrived, Kovner betrays the constitution of his underground organisation. The 22nd paragraph of the constitution states, 'We will go to the forest only as a result of battle, after we have accomplished our goal. We will take with us the largest number of Jews possible and we will clear a path to the forest, from whence we will continue our battle against the murderous conquerors.'

    "In reality, Kovner promises exit to 50 of his friends from the organisation exclusively. In spite of all the precautions, it became known in the ghetto that the fighters are gathering to leave. Tens of young, healthy, strong people gather in the courtyard and plead before Kovner that he permit them to join those leaving, but Kovner hardens his heart, threatens them with his revolver, and chases them away. The opening of the sewer is guarded carefully by Kovner's own men so that no 'illegals' should sneak through.

    "ln the forests, too, as commander of the partisans, Kovner continues to prevent rescue and ships to death any Jew who wasn't counted among his friends -- the members of the 'Hashomer Hatzair'. (54)

    The first mass uprising is believed to have been in Lachwa ghetto in Byelorussia, on 4 August 1942. A remarkable feature of this revolt was that it was carried out without any firearms. "The SS men entered the ghetto and ordered everyone to line up. Instead, the Jews ran to their houses and set them on fire...

    "Yitzchok Rochtchin attacked the SS chief with an axe. The SS officer fell to the ground, covered with blood. Having no way of escape Rochtchin jumped into the nearby river. He was struck down by a bullet. At the same time, another SS man was felled at the gate by Chaim Cheiffetz and the brothers Asher and Moshe-Leib Cheiffetz. Still, another German fell at the hands of Moshe Klopnitzki.

    "Now the crowd was aroused and stormed the ghetto gate. Those who were able to run did, leaving behind a flaming ghetto. They were pursued and shot at. Many fell. The town was littered with corpses. People ran with their last ounce Of strength to the forests near the river Pripet, hoping to find shelter there. Of the 2,000 Jews, about 600 managed to reach their destination. But the police and the Byelorussians of that region, who pursued them, murdered most of them brutally...

    "The Germans only succeeded in leading a few of them to the grave, because both young and old tried to escape. They would rather die from a bullet while running than be led to their deaths.

    "Several days later 120 Lachwa Jews gathered in the Chobot forest, about 20 kilometers from town, and joined the partisans, fighting side by side with them, and later with the Red Army, thus taking revenge for their beloved ones.

    A key role in the extermination programme was played by the Judenrats, or Jewish Councils, which the Nazis appointed to run each ghetto.
    

    Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special Gold Medallion in the honor of Nazis' relationship with Zionists! Do you've any ideas why he visited Palestine in 1937?
    "The Judenrat served as an instrument for keeping things calm. It lulled both the youth and the adults into a false sense of security so that they shouldn't think about rescue activities. Unfortunately, most of the members of the Judenrats were Zionists. They thought that by collaborating with the Germans, they were doing a good thing. By preparing the lists of Jews who were sent to their deaths, they thought that they were saving other Jews. The heads of the Judenrat suffered from a superiority complex, thinking that they were doing a historic thing in order to redeem the nation and the entire Jewish population feared them."

    Thus, "the first thing the Nazis did in Upper East Silesia, too. was to establish a 'council of elders' (Judenrat) and, as in every place, they appointed Zionist activists to head the council. The Nazis found in these 'elders' what they hoped for: loyal and obedient servants who, because of their lust for money and power, led the masses of Jews to their destruction.

    "Monik (Moses) Merin, one of the Zionist activists in the community of Sosnowiec, was propped up by the Nazis as 'emperor' of all the 'councils of elders', and he appointed the leaders of these councils in every community. Of course, he named to these shameful positions only his friends in ideology from the Zionist camp. The Satanic plan of the Nazis assured that the personal fate of each Jew -- whether for life or death--be exclusively left up to the decisions of the 'councils of elders'. The Nazis, from time to time, decided upon a general quota for the work of the camps and for extermination, but the individual selection was left up to the 'councils of elders', with the enforcement of kidnappings and arrests also placed in the hands of the Jewish police (kapos). By this shrewd method, the Nazis were highly successful in accomplishing mass murder and poisoning the atmosphere of the ghetto through moral degeneration and corruption." A prominent religious Jew in Bedzin, Reb Bunim, "alerted the Jews of the city, revealing to them that they would be burned in the furnaces and that they should save themselves by not appearing for the deportation when called by the council. Reb Bunim knew that Merin would revenge himself cruelly, especially since he refused to participate in the schemings of the previous two years Of the council of elders. Merin's revenge was not long in coming. He betrayed to the Gestapo that Reb Bunim's sons belonged to the underground, and they were soon arrested and sent to Auschwitz. After a short time, Reb Bunim and his wife were also arrested ans sent to Auschwitz" (56)

    Attempts to organise resistance in the Bialystok ghetto were not very successful. This was partly owing to a tactical miscalculation by the resistance leadership, which tried both to fight in the ghetto and also to strengthen the rural partisans, but had too few resources to achieve both tasks properly. They were also undermined by the collaboration of the Zionist-led Judenrat with the Nazis. "The policy of the Bialystok Judenrat was all the more con- vincing because its chief champion and executor was Ephraim Barasz, an engineer by profession and a liberal Zionist in his political beliefs." Barasz had previously had the reputation of being an "honest man", which enabled him more effectively to lull the ghetto's inhabitants into a false sense of security.

    In February 1943, the Nazis demanded the surrender of 6,300 Bialystock Jews for extermination. "The Judenrat complied by preparing lists of people whose sin was that they were poor or had fled to Bialystok from the annihilated provincial ghettos. The deal was arranged in absolute secrecy, without any warning or hint from Barasz or other Judenrat members to the ghetto population of what was in store for it. "However, the resistance United Anti-Fascist Bloc prevented most people on the lists from reporting for transportation to their deaths, and the ghetto inhabitants fought back when the Nazis came to collect them. On 15 August 1943 the Nazis informed Barasz they intended to liquidate the ghetto. "Barasz returned to the ghetto and did not warn anybody that only a few hours were left to the 40,000-odd Jews" still in there, nor did he encourage them to revolt. The Anti-Fascit Bloc nevertheless managed to arm 300 combatants with firearms and grenades and a further 200 with Molotov cocktails, homemade bombs, knives, and axes. These weapons, many of them smuggled into the ghetto in the most daring ways, were grossly inadequate for a large-scale revolt, but the resistance nevertheless lasted until 26 August and the Nazis had to use artillery and aircraft to subdue it. About 100 Nazis were killed. (57)

    Another prominent Zionist who gave the Nazis considerable assistance in their extermination campaign was Chaim Romkowsky, a megalomaniac ghetto leader who even had postage stamps with his portrait on them issued for use by the ghetto inhabitants.

    Zionists Marketing Nazi good in Palestine in the 1930s
    "Romkowsky, serving for decades as the chairman of the Zionists in Lodz, had himself crowned, under Nazi sponsorship, 'king of the ghetto'. He treated his 'constituents' with the ruthlessness Of a maniacal tyrant, augmenting Nazi decrees with his own, organising with methodical precision and without pity all death transports, appointing himself as the sole marriage performer for young couples. Alfred Nussing, the elderly Zionist leader and personal friend of Herzl, blemished his old age by informing and spying in the Warsaw ghetto, for which ne was judged and sentenced to death by the underground.

    "These names are mentioned as blatant examples, but the infamous list itself is long and spans many cities and villages throughout Poland, Lithuania, Hungary and Rumania." (58)

    Despite the help given by the Zionist leadership to Nazi efforts to smash any Jewish resistance, anti-racist Jews used great ingenuity to provide themselves with the means to defend themselves. At one point, guns were smuggled into resisting ghettos in false-bottomed coffins. "Then, for a time, girls brought in guns, slung between their legs as they returned from the factories outside." Later, and particularly in Warsaw, "the sewers were to become the most important single route whereby arms came into the ghetto and people got out." In Dnepropetrovsk ghetto, 150 kilograms of industrial dynamite were smuggled in "hidden in the pestilential carcase of a rotting horse," while in Vilno, "the Sisters Of St. Catherine brought grenades and guns into the ghetto and hid the gunrunners in the convent." But with their slender resources, the weapons the ghetto fighters obtained was "never enough and never the right kind; no heavy machine guns, no mortars, no mines, no antitank weapons, no gelignite pencils or plastic explosives."" Jewish ingenuity even managed to seize or manufacture arms or smuggle weapons and components into the death camps of Treb- linka and Sobibor, where desperate revolts were staged." (59)

    Ghetto resistance reached its climax in Warsaw in 1943. There "the Jewish resistance movement received the support not only of the militarily weak Communists, but of three small but influential Polish resistance organisations and a number of noble individuals, who played a crucial part in making the Home Army Command provide the Jewish Fighting Organisation with some arms." The People's Guard sent in some pistols, although "how limited their resources were can be judged from the report of the Command of the Warsaw Area People's Guard of 27 December 1942, which put the amount of arms in its possession at thirteen pistols and seventeen grenades, and that of I January 1943, which gave the figures as 24 pistols and eighteen grenades." (60)

    When the operation known as the great liquidation (in which some 300,000 Jews were exterminated) began in Warsaw on 22 July, the Jewish resistance groups had few arms and so could not put up a fight. However, the great liquidation made the ghetto arm itself as far as possible, and also build up a superb Intelligence system. "The Polish and Jewish intelligence sources outside the ghetto were able to discover what was being prepared by the Germans because not only the special extermination force but the entire Gennan garrison in Warsaw had been alerted to deal with a possible general uprising."(61)

    "On Sunday, April 18, 1943, the chiefs of police and the SS leaders held a conference at which the plan for the ghetto attack was worked out in detail. It was to take place the following day at dawn. At 2 p.m. that day the SS and the German police received their mobilisation orders. A similar order was received by the Polish police, who threw a heavy cordon around the entire ghetto at about 6 p.m. One hour later the chiefs of staff of the Jewish Fighting Organisation and of the Jewish Military Association were informed of the enemy's preparations. " (62)
    The ghetto fighters launched their revolt on the follow- ing day. According to Ainsztein, the composition of the ghetto fighters was as follows: the Revisionists' Jewish Military Union had some 400 combatants, the Jewish Fighting Organisation (a coalition of Communists, Bundist Social Democrats and Zionists, of whom Hashomer Hatzair played the most notable part) had between 600 and 800, while the majority, some 2,000, were not attached to any political organisation and were known as "wild groups". The latter in fact lasted longer than the politically organised groups." (63)

    Fighting from street to street, from house to house, from underground bunkers, ruins and even sewers, the Warsaw ghetto resisters held the Nazis at bay or pinned down for months in what was described as the largest and longest single act of resistance in occupied Europe, apart from Yugoslavia. It caused hundreds of Nazi casualties, although the German Army shelled the ghetto with artillery and the Luftwaffe was brought in for air strikes against it. The Nazis tried to destroy even the ruins which were providing cover for urban guerrillas in July. and in September 1943 they sent large forces in to clear out the remains of the ghetto. Nevertheless, the last recorded act of resistance by a Warsaw ghetto group, the killing of three German gendarmes, was as late as June 1944.(64)

    In addition to the Nazis, the ghetto resisters had to combat a highly dangerous traitor Abraham Gancwajch, who had been the leader of Hashomer Hatzair (a "left-wing" Zionist group, now known as Mapam) in Czestochowa. In Warsaw in the spring of 1940, "he made a speech in which he said that the Nazi New Order had come to stay and that the Jews had to adjust themselves to it... With the assistance of the Gestapo, he collected a staff of collaborators recruited from members of his own family, friends, and acquaintances." The Nazis allowed him to set up his own 300-man "police force" which "per- formed the functions of an American gangster's hoodlums and with their help Gancwajch forced all the important businessmen in the ghetto, irrespective of whether they were honest or dishonest, to pay him protection money, which he shared with his Gestapo patrons... The most important factor was the usefulness of Gancwajch and his Mafia as an agency of espionage and subversion in brief, as a classical fifth column... Two rabbis belonging to the Agudath Israel Party, Blumenfeld, and Glicensztajn, made propaganda on his behalf among the Hassidic elements and saw to it that no resistance ideas should take root in the religious schools and colleges." Gancwajch set up an "ambulance service" which helped round up victims for the Nazis, and also every Tuesday handed in an intelligence report which he "boasted that the Gestapo awaited with impatience because they regarded it as the only reliable assessment of what was happening in the ghetto." The Agudath Israel Party, now one of Israel's respected political parties, helped the Nazis to suppress resistance "by telling (its) numerous followers that the ghetto was not only the Lord's punishment for Jewish desertion Of orthodoxy and atheism but a blessing in disguise designed to bring the Jews back to the state of piety."(65) That the ghetto fighters were able to organise resistance despite these collaborators was a remarkable achievement.

    Shortly before his death in battle in the ghetto, the leader Mordechai Jewish Fighting Organisation's Anielewicz wrote to his successor: "Aware that our last day is at hand, we demand from you to remember how we were betrayed. The day of payment for our spilled innocent blood will come. Send help to those who in the last battle may escape the enemy's hands, so that they can carry on the fight."(66) Although he does not specifically name who it was who betrayed the Warsaw ghetto Jews, it is interesting to note that Anielewicz was a rare exception that proves the rule, in that he was a Zionist, ironically from the same Hashomer Hatzair organisation to which Gancwajch belonged.

29. Map of over 40 Zionist occupational retraining camps in Germany

    How did Hitler favor Zionists over other Jewish political groups (domestic or foreign)? Why?
    
    It is mind-boggling how Hitler bent backward to give Zionists sweeter deals. Not only did Hitler’s policies end up strengthening Zionists in Germany at the expense of other dominant German Jewish parties, he also favored them over Germany’s interests! Frankly, this favoritism could be justified early on when the Nazis’ grip on power was at its weakest in early 1933. On the other hand, by 1936, the German economy fully recovered and the unemployment rate was at its lowest. This is one of the most stunning enigmas: Why Hitler allowed Haavara to continue (even when it was no longer benefiting Germany) is baffled scholars for decades. For example: A) The back of the Nazi boycott was broken, B) German Jewish immigration to Palestine was already tiny (under 10% of German Jews immigrated to Palestine in 7 years) much of whom would've immigrated to Palestine with or without Haavara (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35), C) the size of German trade with Palestine was only 0.5% of total German exports, D) the German economy was recovering, and E) easily Haavara could have been replicated with other countries to expedite removing as many German Jews as possible (Avraham Barkai, p. 264-266).
    
    All these facts were evidently clear to all by 1936-37 at the most, and that was obvious when you examine German bureaucrats' chatter during that period! To rub salt into the wound, despite all earlier stated facts, Hitler personally intervened and overruled all bureaucratic objections against Haavara, and doubled down on the agreement as late as 1938. It was his personal intervention that saved Haavara and gave it extra a few years of life until FDR killed it in late 1941 (see Documents on German Foreign Policy - Series D - Volume V, p. 783 - 786 ,Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 133, JTA - March 8th, 1938, Avraham Barkai, p. 264-266, Jews For Sale? p. 26). By far, this was one of Hitler's biggest favors to Zionists. Anyhow, here is our short list of Nazi policies that ended up favoring Zionists over other foreign or domestic actors:
    

    Nazis vs. Zionists: Two sides of the same coin
    Nazis exempted Jews who immigrated to Palestine (to satisfy British Mandate entry Capitalist visa requirements of P£1,000) from currency export control rules, and on top of that Nazis gave Jews a favorable exchange rate of RM12.5 per P£ (which was way below market the rate); a privilege that wasn’t even awarded to Aryans! In this regard, it is worth noting that Hitler often weaponized this fact (when he negotiated with Great Britain) to imply that a lot more Jews would have left not for this exemption and how such a British policy depleted Germany's foreign currency reserves. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 86, Avraham Barkai, p. 251)
    
    Haavara transactions were exempted from Reich Flight Tax, which progressively increased for Jews leaving Germany (but not via Haavara); the tax started at 23% in 1931, then it was raised to 70% in 1936, 85% in 1937 & to 95% in 1939 on assets above RM50,000.
    
    Nazis gave Zionists monopoly power on all German imports to Palestine irrespective of race, nationality, or religion! Therefore, if you were either an Arab, an Aryan (yes Palestinians had many Aryan German Tramplers living in Palestine for over 70 years), or a Jew living in Palestine in the 1930s, and you wanted to import German products, then your transactions had to go through Haavara! (Avraham Barkai, p. 252) Actually this point in particular angered the German Tramplers in Palestine big time.
    
    Poster in Hebrew Condemning The Haavara Agreement

    When it came to Hitler’s attention that Haavara actually could end up creating a "Jewish state" therefore losing Arabs’ support (especially after the Peel Commission was about to release its report), and most importantly it was proved to him that Haavara's advantages were no longer valid (i.e. German economy was full-employment by 1936) as it was the case early 1933. Hitler doubled down on Haavara and overruled stiff German bureaucrats' objections in early 1938! (see Documents on German Foreign Policy - Series D - Volume V, p. 783 - 786 ,Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 133, Avraham Barkai, p. 264-266)
    
    Until March of 1936, Haavara financed German exports paid from Reichsmarks that were already reserved in German Jews' Blocked accounts (in Germany) instead of being paid in foreign currency as normally. Afterward, a portion of each transaction had to be conducted in foreign currency (i.e. Sterling or Palestinian Pound), see Avraham Barkai, p. 261)
    
    Zionists newspapers and their film industry were the only ones allowed to operate besides the Nazi press; all other press was banned. Zionists' major newspapers were only censored twice although in General they were allowed to be critical of some Nazi policies. Once that was spotted, Zionists' papers were sold to Jews only (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 119-122 & Jan C. Horak p. 54). If you you have the time, please inspect Jewish Palestine Pavilion part of the New-York World's Fair, 1939, then you might recognize how and why birds of a feather flock together.
    
    Nuremberg Race Laws explicitly stated that ONLY the Swastika and the Zionist flags were allowed to be raised in the Third Reich, which was praised in January of 1936 by Congress Bulletin (the organ of the American Jewish Congress, see 51 Documents, p. 121-122)
    
    Haavara allowed all social security and pension payments could be transferred without deductions.
    
    Haavara was allowed to evolve as a worldwide money transfer (similar to Western Union or SWIFT) as early as 1935, and money could be sent to German Jews from donations abroad which continued during WWII (Adam Hofri, p. 104-5). From the Nazis' point of view, this may have become the most important part of Haavara since it could have been used to circumvent boycotts, money laundering & sanctions! Honestly, we admit that we are speculating here; and the proof is needed! More research should be done to rule it in or out!
    

    Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together
    When Jews were prohibited from entering Germany in 1938, the Jewish Agency continued to function until May 1941! (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 276) Actually, Haavara offices weren't touched during Kristallnacht the pogrom and Haavara itself wasn't Aryanized as other Jewish banks and enterprises. For example, the Warburgs (a famous banking Jewish family from Humbug) who administrated Haavara, liquidated all their assets at a loss of 94% and departed to London by late 1938.

    Zionists were the only political party to be allowed to march with their own uniforms and to raise their flags although German Jewish leaders explicitly asked Jews not to do sot! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 175) Even the Association of German National Jews (a pro-Nazi German Jewish conservative group) were disbanded early on and many of its members were imprisoned by the Gestapo (a hint: the group advocated the total assimilation of Germany's Jews).
    
    Zionist institutions in Germany (such as Jewish Agency's offices, Youth Aliyah, training camps, newspapers, ...etc) were all protected by the gestapo during the Kristallnacht pogrom (Between Home And Homeland, p. 1); therefore, Zionists escaped the pogrom unscathed. During WWII, something similar happened.
    
    To increase Zionists' labor immigration certificates (a.k.a. Category C which was granted to Jewish Agency by the British Mandate), Nazis allowed Zionists to set up over 40 occupational retraining camps! Ironically, these retraining camps continued to function until late 1941! (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, ch. 7)
    

    Zionists were the only non-Nazi parties allowed to operate in Nazi Germany! Pay attention to Betar's SS-look-like uniforms!
    After examining several sources, we cannot help but conclude that Nazi leaders of all shades (from Eichmann to Goering, to Himmler, to Heydrich, to Mildenstein, to Alfred Rosenberg, to Germany's Ambassadors in Jerusalem in the 1930s, ..etc.) were fond of Zionism (what the heck, even Eichmann himself learned Hebrew). What the heck, even Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special Gold Medallion in honor of this stunning mutually beneficial relationship! (The Seventh Million, p. 30) As if they saw in Zionism the German version of National Socialism! We don't profess we have the answers we've just cited what we know. If you are interested in this subject, we urge you to contemplate L. Brenner's take on this subject. Anyhow, let us know what you think in the comments section.

30. Revisionists Boycott Poster

    How did Ze'ev Jabotinsky and his Revisionists followers react to the Haavara Agreement?
    
    Often, Jabotinsky's Revisionists use Haavara to score political points against Ben-Gurion & Co.
    
    Was Jabotinsky against Haavara because Revisionists were cut out of its proceeds? or
    Because Haavara empowered Ben-Gurion & Co. further, therefore weakening Revisionists in the process?
    
    In this regard, it is worth noting that when Jabotinsky (who considered Hitler a fake fascist who doesn't come close to ideological God Mussolini) was questioned about his alliances with the notorious Ukrainian antisemites (such as the infamous Symon Petliura who massacred hundreds of thousands of Jews in the early 1920s which was the largest mass murder of Jews before the Holocaust), said:

    "In working for [the Jewish state in] Palestine, I would even ally myself with the devil" (The Transfer Agreement, p. 77).

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    A decade later, it was Jabotinsky's nemesis, David Ben-Gurion, who implemented his strategy but at a much larger scale with the father of all devils: Hitler! It should be noted that Jabotinsky himself was trying to sign a similar deal as Haavara but with Hitler's counterpart in Poland, who instituted racist anti-Jewish laws that were far worse than what was enacted by the Nuremberg Race Laws! Actually, in the late 1930s, the Polish and French fascist parties openly advocated shipping Jews to Madagascar, way before Hitler contemplated it a few years before the Final Solution!

    To put it bluntly, Revisionists were cynical; not only did they continue to cooperate with Nazis in Germany, but also they continued to receive support from Mussolini, who gave them a naval academy in Italy! And if Ben-Gurion weren't quick to seize the moment in early 1933, Jabotinsky would've signed Haavara with Nazis if he thought of it first! Dealing with Fascists & Nazis wasn't the issue. For both sides, it was simply all about power!

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    What was amusing is how Ben-Gurion used to describe Jabotinsky as a Nazi or Hitler, although he himself was negotiating and implementing Haavara with Hitler for seven years! Zionists' rivalry was so fierce that Ben-Gurion attempted to remove Revisionists from the Zionists movement on several occasions; he even handed Yitzhak Shamir over to the British in the early 1940s; he attempted to kill Menachem Begin during Nakba and tried to silence his opposition on many occasions (The Transfer Agreement, p. 288-9). To give the reader an idea of what we are talking about, here is how the Revisionist press castigated the Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency in 1935:

    "Hitler's allies", people "who have trampled roughshod on Jewish honor, on Jewish conscience, and on the Jewish ethics, . . . dark characters who have come to trade on the troubles of the Jews and the land of Israel, . . . low types who accepted the role of Hitler’s agents in Palestine and in the entire Near East, . . . traitors, deceivers who lust after Hitler’s government” (The Seventh Million, p. 24)

    In response, Ben-Gurion suggested writing a pamphlet linking Revisionists to Haavara 1.0 (which Sam Cohen negotiated with Nazis first and before the Jewish Agency stole it) to expose Jabotinsky's hypocrisy. (The Seventh Million, p. 25)

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    And all of a sudden, Zionists Jews wonder how and why Haim Arlosoroff (the 2nd in command at the Jewish Agency who led the negotiations with Nazis about Haavara's details) was murdered! To deflect, of course, they framed The Arab patsy! This type of language was normal among Zionists at the time (in some ways it still is). Political power didn't consolidate in Jewish politics until way after Nakba

    Finally on the subject of Revisionists' "VALOR", we have to ask: How did Jabotinsky and his Revisionist followers confront Hitler? How did they prepare for this moment? What was tragically funny that Jabotinsky was completely blindside with Hitler's invasion of Poland, and God willing if that did happen; Poland would win with one hand tied behind its back! Anyhow, here is how the fathers of "Jewish Nationalism" (the Godfather of the Israeli right nowadays) confronted the rise of fascism: Ze'ev (Wolfy) and his followers doubled down on fascism with Hitler's fascist mentor Mussolini! Wolfy did the same thing but with his Polish fascists buddies before WWII. Revisionists were hardcore cynical, they were anti-Haavara only after Ben-Gurion and co. stole it from them first! Ironically, Jabotinsky attempted to replicate Haavara with Poland's fascists. But again; Ben-Gurion and Co. usurped it from him just before the war was started!

    Let us fast forward to the 1940s, Jabotinsky's followers either reached out for alliance with the Nazis (as late as 1941), or bombed WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland! YES, to of Israel's future PMs (Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir) did exactly that during WWII. Mazeltov Jews on this lovely gift for humanity: Zionism! Now please give yourselves a big hand!

31. Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade & relations with Hitler (8 years ahead of Mufti) when he was at his weakest point in early 1933, especially when Zionists didn’t foresee the calamity & no guns were pointed at their heads. After Haavara was signed, the floodgates were opened & the worldwide boycott against Nazis was nixed.
    Zionists Edwin Black & Abraham Burg (former speaker of the Israeli Knesset), both described Haavara as the critical piece that financed the foundation of the Jewish state which was impossible to do without! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 379-380)

    "These men were the creators of Israel. And in order to do so, each had to touch his hand to the most controversial undertaking in Jewish history-- the Transfer Agreement. It made a state: Was it madness, or was it a genius?" (The Transfer Agreement, p. 380)

    Honestly, it has been chilling to read Mr. Burg (p. 73-4) in the following sentences:
    

    It turns out that before the Nazis started to slaughter Europe’s Jews, they enabled us to build the foundations of our state-to-be. [. . . . .] After Israel was born in 1948, the German reparation & compensation agreement of 1952 itself. [. . . . .] Thus, the Nazis, in their cruel way, were involved in promoting the idea of the Zionist state and fulfilling in three ways: before the war with the transfer agreement, during the war and its aftermath with the tidal wave of refugee migration, and after the war with the great sums of money that the “new” Germany paid on behalf of the “old” Germany.
    
    I wonder if we could have a state at all if not for Germans and their savagery!

    [ pay attention to how Mr. Burg's usage of double quotes seems to imply that the "old" and the "new" Germany are different in name only! I hope the readers will understand now why & how Zionist Jews gave a free pass to antisemites a few years after the Shoah ended! For God's sake, the graves were still fresh. Does that explain why antisemitic Europeans eagerly voted for the UN partition plan in late 1947? How was this voten't implemented for other versions of Haavara? Quid Pro Quo ]
    
    It should be noted that as Zionists were building their state ahead of its time by 15 years; they were also helping the British occupation to dismantle Palestinian society and economy during the Great Revolt between 1936-39.

32. Adolf Eichmann in Haifa Palestine in 1937! We wonder what the Angel of Death was doing in Palestine. Was he there to meet with Mufti Haj Amin or Haganah's chief?

    When Eichmann visited Palestine in 1937, did he come to coordinate with Mufti Haj Amin or with Zionists' Haganah?
    
    When Adolf Eichmann's visit to Palestine became widely known soon after Nakba:
    
    You would not think Zionist propagandists wasted any time linking Eichmann's visit to their favorite scapegoat (Zionists' patsy Mufti Haj Amin)! Therefore making Palestinians collectively liable for Mufti's actions during WWII.
    
    God forbid, you would not think Zionists were deflecting away from their deeds?

    Eichmann's detailed report translated from the German language hosted at the Holocaust Library, click the image for details.

    Well, you are on to a big surprise. Not only did Eichmann not meet any Palestinian (inclusive of Zionists' patsy Mufti, who was chased out of the Middle East in late 1941 by the Haganah & England), but actually, he was on a tour with his assistant checking on their investments, and of course to coordinate with Ben-Gurion's Haganah about their common causes (i.e. intelligence sharing)! While the Nazis were in Haifa, they visited a Kibbutz with their Hanganah handler (Feivel Polkes); however, Eichmann made the mistake of contacting a German agent in the city who was being monitored, and that triggered alarms with the British, who ended up deporting the Nazis to Egypt. Anyhow, later Feivel Polkes met them in Cairo to catch up and thanked him for the arms shipment Nazis sent between 1933-35 (Francis Nicosia, p. 62 - 64); it is all good guys; please don't make a big deal out of these encounters. They were done in "good faith" to "save" Jews, which all started before WWII (tongue in cheek). Suppose you are interested in the boring details, we suggest reading Eichmann's detailed report translated from the German language (located at Gestapo's HQ in Berlin) and now hosted by the Wiener Holocaust Library's website. In case it will be taken down for any reason, we've archived a copy of the report along with screenshots.
    
    

    Adolf Eichmann in Haifa Palestine in 1937! We wonder what the Angel of Death was doing in Palestine. Was he there to meet with Mufti Haj Amin or Haganah?

    These facts were kept secret for decades until they were discovered in Gestapo archives in East Germany, and when they became known, Zionists explained that the leadership didn't sanction the meetings; of course, hush-hush, end of story! Not only the culprit(s) (Feivel Polkes) did confirm the meetings with the Gestapo (in Palestine & Berlin between 1935 -and 1937), but they also contradicted the official Israeli story, and above all, their story is in sync with Eichmann's account and other records. We urge you not to take our word for it and examine Francis Nicosia's words (who is a known Zionist apologist) in Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 123-126. For more boring details about the Nazi-Haganah contacts, you need to read Klaus Polkehn in The Secret Contacts: Zionism and Nazi Germany, 1933-1941 p. 71-72, 73-74, & 75-76, watch Lenni Brenner in this 2011 interview, plus inspect Mr. Brenner's 51 Documents p. 111-120, Weiner Holocaust Library, de-classified CIA document, and, The Seventh Million, p. 30-1. It is worth noting:
    
    

    Fake Valor: Why Did Zionist Jews Hoist Nazis Flag on Their Ships in the 1930s?

    This lie is still being propagated in Zionist circles, as you will see here in this exciting discussion.
    
    Lenni Brenner attempted to track Feivel Polkes' Haganah files in Jerusalem, and Mr. Brenner was blocked (we've been told that Francis Nicosia was denied access, too). Mr. Brenner stated that he was told that Polkes' files are very sensitive and classified as top secret. Mr. Brenner wanted to know Polkes' rank in the Haganah. Polkes' years of service? Who did Polkes report to during his 2+ years of contact with Nazis? Did he get any pension? Was Polkes on active duty during the War of Nakba? Why was Polkes made a patsy (the fall guy)? Did the Jewish Agency executives read his reports? Why wasn't Polkes tried as Eichmann for treason?
    
    Many will find it interesting that the Jewish Agency sent Dr. Rezo Kastner (head of Hungarian KAPOs) to defend Eichmann's aids at the Nuremberg Trials in 1947. Please contemplate this counterfactual scenario: what if Eichmann didn't escape to Argentina, do you think the JA would have asked Kastner to defend him too? Let that sink in for a few minutes!
    
    Finally, there will be a handsome prize for the first person who provides us with pictures documenting such a visit to Palestine and Egypt! The same goes for any more information about Eichmann's handler, Feivel Polkes (pictures in service & Berlin, his rank and responsibilities, where he lived, ..etc). All know how Zionists and Nazis used to be fond of documenting their activities in the open. Anyhow, the coin currently is being traded in Israel for less than $1,000 and until now we don't know how many of those coins were stamped and who bought them!

33. NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis was left to the Gentiles so they could focus on defeating the White Paper.
    Why did all major Jewish organizations fail to investigate their actions & passivity between 1933 & 1945?
    
    A commission was set up to investigate these events; however, it was dissolved & de-funded in 1983 mid-way after concluding that:

    Rabbi Wise told a Congressional panel that he opposed a resolution designed to set up a commission ''to effectuate the rescue of the Jewish people of Europe.'' He opposed the resolution, the draft said, because it failed to include any provision that the British change their policy and open up Palestine to Jews. (NYTimes, Jan. 4th, 1983)

    Is it possible that Jewish organizations' devotion to Zionism & ideological rivalries had blinded them to the big picture? And inadvertently, they've enabled Shoah & who did it?
    
    It seems American Jewish organizations agonized between two conflicting strategies: Do they prioritize fighting the British White Paper of 1939 or Hitler? Both can't be fought at the same time. Based on what we know of Rabbi Wise's statements in March of 1943, it seems they gave priority to fighting the White Paper! As if they were so fixated on defeating the White Paper to the point that they deprioritized saving Jews' lives! It should be noted the British promised Palestinians a state in 1949 based on the same white paper. (NYTimes, April 18th, 1982: AMERICAN JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST By Lucy S. Dawidowicz) We asked ourselves: from where do these conflicting priorities come? What was their origin? Is it possible these were David Ben-Gurion's marching orders:

    "We will fight with the British against Hitler as if there were no White Paper; we will fight the White Paper as if there were no war" Cited at JVL, Sept. 1939

    On the other hand, Houston: We have a problem! These are conflicting marching orders that were articulated by Rabbi Stephen Wise during the war a few years after:

    We cannot press the Hitler button and the British and Palestine button at one and the same time! (NYTimes, April 18th, 1982: AMERICAN JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST By Lucy S. Dawidowicz). Nahum Goldman was known to have said something similar (see Abandonment Of The Jews By David S. Wyman, p. 176).

    Ben-Gurion & Co. gave conflicting priorities, and when they came to head, a choice had to be made; Zionists didn't choose to fight Hitler! They chose to fight the White Paper even at the cost of millions of Jewish lives! Again, this policy persisted during WWII. This policy explains downplaying Holocaust stories in American and Zionist press! (Abraham Burg, p. 74 and NYTimes June 12th, 1987) This explains how and why Ben-Gurion and his cohorts were not interested in fighting Hitler even at the height of the calamity, Nazis weren't THE enemy, and Rabbi Wise was 100% correct: Hitler and the White Paper cannot be fought at once. To put it simply, there was not enough bandwidth to fight both. Therefore, Zionists' action spoke out loud: They decided to fight the White Paper, and fighting Hitler was left for others!
    
    Is it possible that Zionist leaders were ambivalent & didn't care, as Ariel Lekaditis (a Yad Vashem staff historian & a Holocaust educator) seems to imply in this Times of Israel blog?
    
     Could this investigation be nixed because it would've opened Pandora's box?
    
    Is it possible that breaking up an effective & crippling worldwide boycott of the Nazis' economy has enabled the devil?
    
    If our account here is partially Kosher, how Haavara didn't enable Hitler?
    
    Is it possible that Haavara ended up enabling several Nakbas?
    
     What's mind-boggling is that not only Zionists continued Haavara for 7 yrs as Nazis ratcheted up persecuting German Jews, but most importantly, all Jewish organizations did the same thing too, especially the powerful ones in the US (American Jewish Committee, B'nai B'rith /ADL, American Jewish Congress, ..etc)? You would think they reassessed their appeasement policies after the Nuremberg Race Laws & Kristallnacht; on the contrary. All Jewish organizations doubled down on Haavara as if they saw it as their savior & no need to change course, although continuing to appease Hitler (by all, including Zionists) had emboldened Hitler by the day!
    
    All prior facts & arguments point towards one conclusion: Zionist leaders & major Jewish organizations around the world were terrified of any possible alternative other than Palestine; that is a fact. Here is our analysis of why that was the case. Please let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

34. Let's Do The Math: How Many German Jews Were Actually "Saved" Due To The Haavara Agreement?

    How many German Jews were actually "saved" when Haavara was honored by both Nazis & Zionists?
    
    Let's assume we can judge the past from the present, and "Haavara was done to save lives"; let's use loaded words such as "save" or "rescue" to describe events before the calamity happened. The numbers reported (from Zionists and official British mandate sources) were all over the place, and they ranged from as little as 39,000 to 60,000 German Jews "saved" (at maximum, almost 10% of Germany's Jews as of 1932). However, after a little digging, we quickly found that the upper bound of 60,000 German Jews saved had been inflated by at least 400% (as you shall see soon, those who were saved, their number may have been inflated by up to 1200%). To put it in layman's language, Zionists lumped those who immigrated via Haavara asset transfer (basically those who had P£1,000 or more automatically qualified, a.k.a. the Capitalists) and their dependants with those who immigrated based on the Labor Certificates visa program (who were granted immigration certificate entry by the occupying colonial power Great Britain)! Zionists justify this manipulation since Haavara-related investments increased Palestine’s economic absorption capacity; therefore, all who immigrated from Germany should be counted as "saved because of Haavara." If we allow this gaslight to stand, then based on the same logic, 400,000 Jews were saved as well (who immigrated from Eastern Europe during the 1930s and 40s). Based on the same logic, those Eastern European Jews would have perished not for Haavara! Anyhow, this farce of an argument was first brought to our attention when we read what the editor of the Forward (Baruch Vladeck) wrote in January 1936:

    "But," say the defenders of the Transfer Agreement, we can't stop to discuss moral effects, We must save the Jews in Germany, and the Transfer is a way out." Let's look into the practical value of the Agreement. We are told that over 30,000 Jews were rescued by the Transfer Agreement. That, to put it bluntly, is a lie. Not 30,000 but between 4 and 5 thousand were settled in Palestine by means of the Transfer, and these were not "saved." NO! Retorts by B. C. Vladeck

    German Jews Emigrating to Palestine at Anhalter Train Station, September 1936.

    To assess who saved who, it became imperative to figure out how many of those "saved" gained entry based on their assets (a.k.a. Capitalists) vs. those who were saved by British Mandate's Labor Certificates visa programs, plus their respective dependants who immigrated along with them (dependants were 56% of those who immigrated). British Mandate's primary sources provided such data for most of the seven years, and the Jewish Agency's publications were used to fill in the missing data (for years 1933, 134 & 39). Identifying how many in these categories will allow us to verify two critical important data: A) How much money was funneled into the Jewish Agency's drained coffers? B) How many Labor Certificate visas (grants from the British) were assigned to German Jews by the Jewish Agency from the overall Labor Certificates pool? This information will help us to determine whether Zionist leaders prioritized saving the poor German Jews who didn't qualify as Capitalists (basically those who didn't have P£1,000). That said, before we share how we made our calculations, let us share what other historians have reported, and at the end of this section, we shall compare what we found with what they've reported:
    
    To this date, there is no definitive number of those who were "saved": the official Zionist sources cited is 60,000 (although British Mandate's primary sources reported a total of 49,363 between 1931 & 1945), but JVL cites 55,000, Francis Nicosia cites 53,000, both Adam Hofri & Avraham Barkai cited 52,000, Adam Tooze reported 50,000 (p. 90), the British Mandate reported 47,133 (which seems to be the most accurate, see Statistical Abstract of Palestine for 1937 on p. 36 and 1943 on p. 19), Aviva Halamish reported 46,741 (see Table 7.2, note that statistics for the year 1932 was excluded, p. 144), Areih Tartakower / Kurt Grossmann cited 45,000, Abraham J Edelheit reported between 20,000 to 50,000, Fawzi Abu-Diab reported a total of 39,137 (pay attention how Fawzi cited the Jewish Agency as one of his primary sources), and the Jewish Agency reported 43,169 in 1944. In our opinion, we found that the MOST CREDIBLE numbers were reported by the British Mandate Palestine Blue Books and in the Statistical Abstract of Palestine for 1937, 1943, and 1945; as we see it, those are the primary sources., and where the data is missing, we shall rely on Jewish Agency's publications. It should be noted that all others failed to cite the source of the 60,000. As we can see, inflating the number will make a big difference.

    Tom Segev reported 20,000 (The Seventh Million, p. 22); it seems he reported who used the Capitalist Certificate visa program. Edwin Black reported 20,000, too (The Transfer Agreement, p. 379). Similarly, Yehuda Baur reported that a third of those who immigrated arrived because of the Capitalist Certificate visa program. Based on our calculations (as we shall prove shortly), they must have included Capitalists' dependants in their figures; else their numbers will be way off. On this note, it is worthwhile sharing Mr. Baur's argument concerning those who financed their immigration (a.k.a Capitalists). Honestly, this was chilling to read, especially when an ardent Zionist like Mr. Baur wrote it:

    "The question arose then and must arise today whether without Ha’avarah there would have been a massive German Jewish immigration into Palestine. After all, only one third of these immigrants were capitalists, and some, or perhaps many of them, would have come without Ha'avarah. On balance, however, the influx of capitalists was apparently a factor in encouraging immigration of other German Jews as well.
    
    The arguments with which the proponents of Ha'avarah supported the project were often a mixture of the logical and the disingenuous. Thus, leading [Jewish] Agency politicians explained that the expansion of Ha'avarah to countries other than Palestine, which the Nazis had agreed to in part, was not controlled by them at all but by another organization, Intria. In fact, Intria was chaired by Siegfried Moses, one of the heads of the Ha'avarah organization. Also, while the leaders of Ha'avarah played down the damage done to the boycott movement by the agreement with Germany, they simultaneously played up their sabotage of the boycott in their negotiations with the Germans. Their campaign started with efforts in 1933 to persuade Consul Wolff in Jerusalem to give up his support of Sam Cohen and side with the Jewish Agency instead; if wanted to fight the boycott, they argued, Sam Cohen was not the right person to facilitate that fight. The campaign continued in the repeated interviews that agency leaders had in Germany with German officials."(Jews For Sale?, p. 17)

     Aviva Halamish reported 2,500 (see p. 137). Without dependants, she arrived at 5,000 maximum with dependants (it seems every immigrant brought with him/her on average one dependent, which we've verified from the primary sources, too). Aviva could be correct, but we couldn't verify her number from other sources, although Mr. Vladeck (editor of The Forward) reported something similar in early 1936. This number should avoided (unless supporting sources are provided), especially when she cited a bigger number of 2,985 Capitalists (for Category A) just for the year 1936 (see Table 7.5). Aviva's paper (which we relied on when we wrote our research) contains several inconsistencies within the same paper and with the primary sources. For example, she cited that 60,000 German Jews immigrated to Palestine in the 1930s (see p. 123 & 143), which contradicted the final tally she reported in Table 7.2 (p. 144), also in Table 7.5 (p. 145), she noted that 8,180 German Jews immigrated to Palestine in 1936. Still, in Table 7.2 (p. 143), she reported 7,468 for the same statistic. Also note that her source for the 60,000 figure was Walter Laqueur (in The Holocaust Encyclopedia, p. 522). Still, when the page she cited is examined, you'll see that his final tally was 46,000, not 60,000, plus he was referring to Greater Germany.
    
    Areih Tartakower & Kurt Grossmann reported in The Jewish Refugee (which was written in 1944 during WWII and released by the World Jewish Congress -- a Zionist organization) on page 384 a total of 44,509 German Jewish immigrants to Palestine during the 1930s which they have broken down as follows: 16,526 gained entry via the Capitalist Certificate visa program (37.1%), 15,885 via the Labor Certificates Visa program (35.6%), 12,095 gained entry because they were dependants (27.9%). After examining the Jewish Agency's figures for 1933 & 1934, we have concluded that the authors must have used the JA publications since the numbers match entirely. Therefore, their statistics for Capitalists and Labor must include dependants since JA reported them as such. That said, the data was valid until the first quarter of 1939, and to fill in the gap, they had to rely on the Survey of Palestine, p.204.
    
    Fawzi Abu-Diab reported a total of 39,137. Fawzi cited the Jewish Agency and the British Mandate as sources. Fawzi's figures jived with what JA had reported in 1947.

    Sources And Calculation Methodology

    

    Immigration Certificate that the British Mandate issued in the 1930s for the Jewish Agency, which it assigned to  settler-Jewish Colonist to immigrate to Palestine

    To calculate how many Jews were saved due to the Haavara Agreement, it became clear that we needed to identify two critical statistics: i) How many German Jews immigrated to Palestine and, most importantly, ii) Based on what immigration visa program they gained entry (i.e., Capitalist, Labor, Student, Dependant, ..etc.). Since the numbers reported by most historians are all over the place, often not sourced from primary sources, and all circularly cited each other, we've determined that we must rely on the British Mandate & Jewish Agency primary sources. We found that the Mandate reported numbers between 49,712  (see column Q) and 46,543 (see column D) German Jews who immigrated to Palestine between 1933 and 1939 (see column Q in the spreadsheet), which included Jewish immigrants from Danzig and Austria after Anschluss (marked with brown background; see images of the primary sources for the details). To our surprise, the Jewish Agency reported a total of German Jews that was close to British figures (see column R, 43,286 = 39,066 + 4,220 travelers; here is another JA source that reported something similar during WWII, too). Although we found what we precisely needed from British Mandate's Palestine Blue Books (see columns X to AE), the data for 1933, 34 & 39 is unavailable (if you have access to them, please let us know). That said, we found the relevant missing data from the Jewish Agency's publications, which we consider the second best after the Mandate's official publications. We found that 9,415 German Jews immigrated via the Capitalist Certificate visa program (see columns X). Capitalists were those immigrants who proved they had at least P£1,000; they gained automatic immigration visas (a.k.a. certificate).

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    Those Capitalists were accompanied by 9,243 dependants (see columns Y) for a total of 18,698. Note that A) our Capitalist and Labor Certificates dependants' data are missing for 1939 (marked with a yellow background in the spreadsheet), which could be inferred from the Survey of Palestine, p. 204. B) The Mandate didn't provide a breakdown of the immigration data by country of origin and religion for years below 1936, and for 1936 and above, Jews were the immigrants at an average rate of 99%. Therefore, it was safe to assume that 1% of those German immigrants were not Jewish (mostly German Templars of Sarona, Wilhelma, and Umm al-'Amad). C) Since the rise of Hitler in early 1933, the British instituted a rule that favored German Jewry when GB demanded that 10% of the total Labor Certificates grants must be allotted to German Jewry (a kind of an affirmative action). D) Also note that we discovered that one of every seven who immigrated to Palestine from Germany wasn't a German citizen (most of whom were Polish Jews; Sam Cohen, the architect of Haavara V1, was one of them), and we strongly suspect that Nazis excluded those from the Haavara Agreement.
    
    It appears that Tom Segev, Edwin Black, and Yehuda Baur have reported a similar number of Capitalists; they reported 20,000, which must have included dependants (see The Seventh Million, p. 22, The Transfer Agreement, p. 379, and Jews For Sale?, p. 17). Also note that our numbers were close to what Mr. Tartakower & Mr. Grossman (who both wrote The Jewish Refugee in 1944 during WWII for the World Jewish Congress, see p. 384); the discrepancy was related to the fact that they reported data up to the first quarter of 1939; the rest could be taken from Survey of Palestine, p. 204. Based on our analysis, they must have used the Jewish Agency's publications to make their report (their numbers matched what the Jewish Agency reported for 1933 & 1934).

    Vital Statistics

    

     Since those who used Labor Certificates to immigrate (along with their dependants and from all nations) numbered 90,540 (see Column N), and since 16,832 German Jews immigrated to Palestine because the Jewish Agency assigned them Labor Certificates (sum columns Z & AA), then that implies 18.6% (a.k.a. the "saving rate") were saved because the Jewish Agency assigned their head of household Labor Certificates.
     If non-German citizens (who immigrated to Palestine from Germany) were excluded from the calculation, the rate would drop to 15.8%.
     If those who gained entry based on British affirmative action (meaning the Jewish Agency played no role in saving) were excluded along with the non-Germans who immigrated out of Germany, the "saving rate" drops to 8.11%. Thus, Zionists were responsible for saving 6,611 German Jews whom the British affirmative action played no role in saving. It is very telling how German Jews were assigned labor certificates by the Jewish Agency at rate much less than Romanian Jews who were comparable in size and who were not being persecuted.
    

    Analysis

    Immigration Certificate that the British Mandate issued in the 1930s for the Jewish Agency, which it assigned to  settler-Jewish Colonist to immigrate to Palestine

     As you contemplate the earlier statistics, it is worth noting that A) the British Mandate left it to the Jewish Agency how to distribute those Labor Certificate visas as it saw fit, and based on that, the Zionist leadership should be judged, B) the British Mandate made it four times easier for German Jews to immigrate, C) It was British Mandate who demanded that between 10% of all Labor Certificates must be allotted to German Jews (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants by Aviva Halamish, p. 126, 129, 146 and in JA's 1933 submission to the League of Nations, p. 5 ), and despite that Zionist leaders tightened the selection criteria for those poor German Jews compared with eastern European Jews. D) Haavara should not be credited with saving those who immigrated via the Capitalist Certificates visa program. Those who would have immigrated with or without the Haavara Agreement way before Hitler rose to power; thus, it was their money that saved them. It should be noted that this visa program was created after the riots in Hebron of 1929.
    
    Our calculations have a profound ramification: This data indicates that the Jewish Agency must have assigned to German Jews fewer Labor Certificates than was previously disclosed, and the actual number of souls saved (16,832) due to the Jewish Agency's selection criteria; two-thirds of those were saved due to the British Mandate affirmative action which demanded that up to 10% of those who immigrated due to Labor Certificates (who numbered 9,054 out of 16,832) must be allotted to German Jews.

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    Therefore, 10% (9,054 German Jews) would have been save with or without Haavara, and Zionists should not be credited with saving. Actually, this British affirmative action was instituted before Haavara, and the British made such a demand because they knew Zionists would not favor them. Thus, saving 6,611 German Jews by Zionists over seven years is a mediocre number, especially when we factor in that Romanian Jews were granted more Labor Certificates during the same period, although they weren't living in danger. The same logic applies to Greece's small Jewish community who received a comparable Labor Certificates as the German Jewry!

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    To put things into prospective, please keep in mind that i) it was the British people who saved 10,000 German Jewish children (within a month) after the Kristallnacht pogrom. You would think the Zionist leadership appreciated what the British people did in a hurry. Think again! ii) Dr. Rudolf Kastner also claimed that he saved 1,600 Jews, but that was at the cost of 434,000 Jews. Then we have to ask: who speaks for the dead? Maybe Hannah Arendt! iii) As you digest the earlier facts, please always keep in mind that Hitler kept the doors open until late 1941 for Jews to leave, and he was willing to ship them anywhere on luxury liners at his own expense. iv) Thus, the concept of "saving lives" shouldn't be even contemplated until the Kristallnacht pogrom in late 1938.

    As we attempted to validate our data and calculation method, it was brought to our attention that Prof. Aviva Halamish (whom we relied on doing our research) had calculated the "saving rate." However, she excluded dependants for some reason. She reported an average "saving rate" of 25% between 1933 and 1937 (note that she included non-German Jews who immigrated to Palestine from Germany), which is close to what we found. Ms. Halamish's numbers (although for a much smaller time window) increased our confidence in our calculations and methodology.

    Immigration Certificate that the British Mandate issued in the 1930s for the Jewish Agency, which it assigned to  settler-Jewish Colonist to immigrate to Palestine

    To paint the Haavara Agreement more favorably, it is common for Zionists and Israeli historians (inclusive of Wikipedia's Israeli editors) to state that Haavara was responsible for "saving" 60,000 German Jews. On the other hand, when the primary sources are examined (including the Jewish Agency's Statistical Handbook For Jewish Palestine For 1947), it became clear that the total German Jewish immigration (including those who immigrated before and after Haavara) was close to 50,000. Most historians who cited such a statistic have quoted Edwin Black, and it seems he was the earliest to report such a number (as early as 1983). On the other hand, when we examined what Mr. Black wrote, he never cited his sources (The Transfer Agreement, p. 379). To our surprise, the Jewish Agency's figures (reported way after WWII ended in 1947) were way below the 50,000 figures, even when illegal immigrants (a.k.a. Ma'apilim) were factored in. For example, the Jewish Agency reported a total of 39,066 German Jews on p. 104 between 1933 and 1939 (Austrians were added after the 1938 Anschluss with Germany). It appears that the Jewish Agency excluded non-German citizens (who immigrated to Palestine from Germany) and also didn't include travelers (who later applied to become immigrants, mostly Capitalists) and reported on them separately. German travelers who applied to become immigrants numbered 4,220 in the 1930s, and once they were factored in, that brought the total to 43,286 (=39,066 + 4,220; a similar number appeared in a similar JA publication in 1943 as well). It seems that JA's figures were on the low side because non-German citizens were excluded, and the British Mandate's figures were higher because they included them, besides adding travelers and illegals who were legalized over time.

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    Although the Haavara Agreement had no role in saving the illegal immigrants from Germany and Austria, for the sake of argument, even when they are added, the final tally would be 47,188 (=39,066 + 4,220 + 1,715 + 2,187). It should be emphasized that the British Mandate usually added illegals to their official records (the same logic was applied to travelers, as we have shown earlier), which explains why the Mandate's figures often were higher than the Jewish Agency's numbers. To make a point, we added the illegals to point out that even when the official figures are stretched to favor Zionists, and double counting is introduced, the 60,000 figure is way off the chart. Therefore, we ask: Where did this number come from, and why was it inflated? Why have all been citing unverified figures?
    
    Much time and effort have been spent tracing the source of this mysterious and widely cited figure, and its sources have not been found. That said, Mr. Walter Laqueur's famous map (in The Holocaust Encyclopedia, p. 521) for German Jews' migration has been widely promoted, and that may have contributed to the widespread usage of these statistics. On the other hand, Mr. Laqueur referred to Greater Germany (which included Austria and Czechoslovakia, see p. 522); most importantly, his numbers don't add up to 60,000. Ironically, Walter reported a figure of 46,000 (on p. 522), which is close to our calculation. Anyhow, it is worth noting that even if the actual number was 60,000 and the difference of 13,000+ were all saved due to being assigned Labor Certificates, it would increase the saving rate from 15% to 33%. However, that still doesn't look good, especially considering that it was the British who saved 9,054 of them.

     Also, Zionists and Israeli historians insist on lumping all immigrants who immigrated as Capitalists, their dependants, students, non-Germans who immigrated to Palestine out of Germany, and those in Category D into the "saving rate," which is a farce of an argument. Zionist leaders had no control over those; they had complete control over who was assigned a labor certificate. Based on such criteria, Zionist leadership should be judged (especially when they saw the knife hanging over Germany's Jews). Mr. Baur also presented a compelling argument: those Capitalists and their dependants would have been saved in Palestine or other countries with or without Haavara; the Capitalist visa program was as standard then as it is now. Most importantly, based on our calculation, we have found that 60% of the Capitalists were not German citizens, who were saved because of their money, not due to any help from Haavara. Concerning Category D, the Jewish Agency had no authority over who qualified as a dependant. It was the British who approved the dependants' visas.

    Hitler's message to the British and American people: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    All these facts explain why two-thirds of those poor German Jews who applied to immigrate to Palestine (via the Labor Certificates visa program) were turned down (Abraham Margaliot, p. 561-562). To put things in another perspective, we've found that 246,000 German Jews (who were primarily penniless by then) left Germany within Haavara's seven years of life (59% of them left in under 10 months in 1939). Once we excluded those who went to Palestine, that was over 14 times what Zionists have allotted to head of households Labor Certificate visas to German Jews (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35). Based on the earlier facts and logical arguments, we are forced to ask: If Zionist leaders were "keen" on saving German Jews, why did they provide poor German Jews with a few Labor Certificates over eight years? Did Zionist leaders have cynical motives for providing as few Labor Certificates as possible? 

    Zionists' Cruel Selection Criteria

    Besides assigning as few Labor Certificates as possible to poor German Jews, Zionist leaders also applied cruel selection criteria that ended up rejecting two-thirds of those who applied. See for yourself (from Zionist sources) how Zionist leaders have selectively chosen which German Jews could be "saved" and who were deemed as suitable to the "Jewish state." Keep in mind this was applied nine years ahead of the Final Solution:
    
    Abraham Margaliot (who is an Israeli Holocaust historian), p. 559 & 660
    
    Here also is a snippet of Lenni Brenner's description of Zionists' cruel selection criteria that were applied to German Jews, which was extracted from his must-read book Zionism in the Age of the Dictators. Pay attention to how we also added the Israeli source whom Mr. Brenner cited; this is quite chilling to read, primarily when it was written by an Israeli:
    
    
    Abraham Margaliot (who is an Israeli Holocaust historian), p. 561 & 562
    
    We were shocked to discover that the renowned banking family of Hamburg, the Warburg, financed the resettlement of twice as many as German and Austrian Jews, compared with those who immigrated to Palestine. The Warburg family save almost 90,000 German and Austrian Jews between 1933 and late 1941 in a little known program called Hilfsverein which Zionist fought with tooth an nails.
    
    Abraham Margaliot 
    
    Just in case you think this cruel selection criteria was over after the "Jewish state" was created, then please think twice. The sick and the handicapped Jews who survived the holocaust were left for the Gentiles to take care of; especially after Germany paid Israel billions of dollars in reparations (in today's dollars) in the early 1950s:
    

    Back To Haavara FAQs
35. Haavara embodied Herzl's strategy: the governments of all countries scourged by antisemitism will be keenly interested in assisting us to obtain the sovereignty we want (Der Judenstaat)

    Why did Hitler work non-stop with Zionists if they were a small fringe group with limited resources during the 1930s?
    
    This is one of the most baffling conundrums we have encountered while researching the Haavara Agreement. How did a small fringe group of Jewish Nationalists and Socialists (with little resources who numbered around 174,000 as of 1932; see Jewish Agency's memorandum at Evian) manage to pull off one of the biggest heists in the 20th century? Especially when most of Europe’s Jews not only didn’t identify with Zionism but, most importantly, they considered Zionists to be the enemy from within. On top of all of that, Zionist institutions were on the verge of going bankrupt in the early 1930s during the great depression!

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    To Judge the Zionist movement requires you to judge it away from post-WWII events and to absorb the following facts carefully: for many reasons, Zionists of all shades were on the ropes in the early 1930s, and all hands were on deck as Hitler became the chancellor in early 1933. Zionism during the great depression faced an existential crisis that could have dismantled the whole movement by the mid-1930s. On the other hand, Zionists were "blessed" with one of the most aggressive, cold, calculating, organized, unsentimental, resourceful, focused, and politically astute leaders ever. Hands down, Zionists are by far the savviest operators in the propaganda, media and public relations spheres, who often think through their policies' impacts and side effects several steps ahead of their rivals (here is one of the best examples from David Ben-Gurion's biographer Dan Kurzman). Those leaders recognized the importance of the current moment and aggressively exploited the opportunities that presented themselves (with the rise of fascism worldwide, actually Ben-Gurion named this process the LEVER). This was done irrespective of the risks their policies posed to world Jewry. Sadly, Edwin Black's assessment below is right on the mark; he nailed it on the head like no other:

    "Focusing on Palestine as the ONLY legitimate destination for large-scale emigration, the Zionist Organization rejected opportunities to resettle German Jews in heavens or homes other than Eretz Yisrael. The Zionist stance makes it clear: Palestine or nothing. Now or Never." (The Transfer Agreement, p. 260)

    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in Palestine

    Although Zionists were a small fringe group, they had up their sleeves two powerful tools at their disposal, which they exploited to the maximum:
    
    The 1st Tool: Zionist leadership recognized from the start that antisemitism is a powerful weapon, and they've learned they should never confront it head-on (more like the martial art of Jujutsu in politics, see The Transfer Agreement, p. 226); and when antisemitism is exploited (or fomented), it could be easily converted from an “enemy” to an ally. This strategy (which we named the monetization of antisemitism) was articulated by Zionism’s founder, Theodore Herzl, as follows:

    "The antisemites will become our most dependable friends, the antisemitic countries our allies" at Wikipedia
    "the governments of all countries scourged by antisemitism will be keenly interested in assisting us to obtain the sovereignty we want" at JVL

    Herzl attempted to implement this strategy with Russia’s Tsar (see also the Uganda Scheme for relevant missing context), Ottoman Sultans, Great Britain, and Germany’s Kaiser, but he failed, and his efforts went nowhere. On the other hand, his disciples (especially Weizmann, Ben-Gurion, and Jabotinsky) embraced it to the fullest and implemented it with ZERO hesitations within four decades after Herzl's death (The Transfer Agreement, p. 73-5).

    Evian Conference Cartoon Refugees Oct 1938

    That is why Zionists of all shades (Labor and Revisionists) were the FIRST to ally themselves with every fascist, Nazi, antisemitic regime, and dictator that you could name. Here is the shortlist: the Nazi regime (nine years ahead of Mufti Haj Amin and Vichy), Mussolini, Polish and Ukrainian antisemitic Nationalists post WWI,, Symon Petliura, apartheid South Africa, Donald Trump, ...etc. Therefore, when Jabotinsky was questioned about his alliances with Ukrainian antisemitic nationalists (who massacred hundreds of thousands of Jews in the early 1920s, the largest massacring of Jews before shoah), he said:

    "In working for [the Jewish state in] Palestine, I would even ally myself with the devil" (The Transfer Agreement, p. 77).
    
    [Actually at the time, many Jews called Jabotinsky a traitor; a phenomenon that was also known to Jew, couple of decades later, by the Kapo phenomenon during WWII. If you have the time, we urge you to explore Catastrophic Zionism, it will give you a deeper insight into this doomsday cult ideology.]

    That said, Jabotinsky's nemesis, David Ben-Gurion, implemented this strategy but at a much larger scale with the father of all devils: Hitler! That is why we named this strategy: "Pimping antisemitism"!

    Anyhow, the ultimate goal of Zionists' antisemitism was to instigate a European Jewish refugee crisis that would act as the LEVER (using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) in creating the "Jewish state." That is why Zionists lobbied against any haven for Europe's Jews except for Palestine. It should be noted this sinister policy continued during the calamity and after the conclusion of WWII.
    

    Weaponizing Antisemitism in Defense of Israel By Donna Level
    From practical experience and by trial and error, Zionists quickly recognized that cooperating with antisemitic regimes had many financial and political rewards (Haavara is the best example, which continued for eight years even after Nuremberg Laws and Kristallnacht), and increasing Jewish suffering could be monetized and converted to political and economic LEVERS (i.e., increasing Jewish immigration to Palestine before Nakba, increase in political recognition, increase in contributions, favorable media coverage, ...etc.). That’s EXACTLY why the mass majority of Europe’s Jews looked upon Zionists as the enemy from within. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 168) German Jews were the first to know how dangerous Zionists could be; that is why Herzl’s first World Zionists Congress was forced to relocate from Hamburg (Germany) to Basel (Vienna).
    
    
    Which hate speech is more antisemitic: Hitler's hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939, or Ben-Gurion's hate speech a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom in December 1938? You be the judge!
    This powerful Zionist tool can't and shouldn’t be underestimated. Pimping antisemitism has been Zionists' golden goose for decades that keeps on giving. If Zionists feel cornered, as they felt a couple of times during the 1930s, they won't hesitate to use it on an industrial scale (YES, again). Anyhow, appeasing and accommodating antisemites sometimes had unforeseen outcomes, especially during the Holocaust. For example, many of the Jews who ended up collaborating (a.k.a Kapos) with the Nazis were Zionists, who religiously believed in Herzl's marching orders, and they played their role instinctively without much thought (as Jabotinsky did a couple of decades earlier with Symon Petliura in Ukraine). Sadly, it was those Kapos who ended up greasing the killing machine during WWII. You won't believe it until you read the details.
    
    NYTimes, Aug 25th, 1933: Zionists Rejected Boycott of Reich

    The 2nd Tool: Zionists had a big influence over Jewish organizations and leadership (who were supposed to be non-Zionist in their advocacy), especially Zionists’ hegemony over the big four US Jewish organizations: American Jewish Congress, B’nai Bi’rth and its infant ADL, American Jewish appeal, and American Jewish Committee; which persists to this date (note how we've excluded JDC --a.k.a. The Joint-- from this group; see The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman, p. 124-25 for more details). Although American Jews were neither Zionists nor anti-Zionists before Nakba, that completely changed after the Holocaust, the destruction of BUND (who dominated European Jewish politics until WWII ended), and the creation of the "Jewish state."
    
    On the other hand, we found lots of evidence showing American Jewish leaders (especially Abba Hillel Silver, Nauhum Goldmann, and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise) not only they were in lockstep with Zionist leadership at every step but also advocated policies that were highly unpopular within the American Jewish community; chief among them are dismantling anti-Nazi protests and boycott which were major Nazi demands when Hitler was at his weakest early 1933 (for more details, see Zionists meetings with Hermann Goering in March & April of 1933, The Transfer Agreement, p. 33-40, 52, 81, 357, 362). And when Zionists delivered (on Hitler's demands against the anti-Nazi boycotts and protests in US & GB), the Nazi regime not only signed the Haavara Agreement but also strengthened it over time and granted Zionists preferential treatment that few Aryans received. Edwin Black (and many others too especially in The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman) has proven Zionists' hegemony (over Jewish organizations' leadership) repeatedly in his book, for details pay attention to ch. 4 p. 33-40, 52, 357, 362, ch. 22, ch. 39 to 42 in The Transfer Agreement. Also, we highly recommend reading the introduction in The World Jewish Congress during the Holocaust, on pages 1-23, available for free at Google Read.
    

    Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?
    To give the readers a different perspective on Zionists' hegemony over Jewish organizations, we are compelled to directly quote Wikipedia (a pro-Zionist platform) in the following paragraph, showing an assessment of the memorandums that were submitted at the Evian Conference by the five leading Jewish organizations plus the Jewish Agency. Honestly, Wikipedia's articulation is second to none:

    According to the JTA, during the discussions, five leading Jewish organisations sent a joint memorandum discouraging mass Jewish emigration from Central Europe. Reacting to the conference's failure, the AJC declined to directly criticise American policy, while Jonah Wise blamed the British government and praised "American generosity". Zionist leaders Chaim Weizmann and David Ben-Gurion of the Jewish Agency were both firmly opposed to Jews being allowed entry into Western countries, hoping that the pressure of hundreds of thousands of refugees having nowhere to go would force Britain to open Palestine to Jewish immigration. In a similar vein, Abba Hillel Silver of the United Jewish Appeal refused to assist the resettlement of Jews in the United States, saying he saw "no particular good" in what the conference was trying to achieve. The guiding principle of Zionist leaders was to press only for immigration to Palestine. Yoav Gelber [a renowned Nakba denier & a big Zionist] concluded that "if the conference were to lead to a mass emigration to places other than Palestine, the Zionist leaders were not particularly interested in its work." Years later, while noting that American and British Jewish leaders were "very helpful to our work behind the scenes, [but] were not notably enthusiastic about it in public", Edward Turnour who led the British delegation recalled the "stubbornly unrealistic approach" of some leading Zionists who insisted on Palestine as the only option for the refugees.

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    During WWII, Zionists' hegemony was at its peak when they dominated the American Jewish community at the American Jewish Conference (the largest gathering of American Jews) when they prioritized building the "Jewish state" over rescuing Europe's Jews. YES, you read that correctly; here are the boring details.

    What was stunning was that this unity (between Zionists and Jewish organizations) continued even when all knew that:
    Appeasing Hitler implied not only strengthening and empowering the Nazi regime but also implied more Jewish suffering!
    Their fixation on Palestine as the only destination for persecuted European Jews resulted in increased Jewish suffering. It should be noted that this madness continued even at the height of the calamity! Was this Zionists' strategy to foment antisemitism, which would increase Jewish suffering, and that could be utilized to serve their goals? In layman's terms, this is exactly how Zionist leaders managed to politically monetize Jewish pain and suffering.

    Palestinian Refugees fleeing Jaffa in April or May 1948

    Let us not forget that Zionists' dealing with Hitler gave him a perfect propaganda cover that helped deflect criticisms away from the Nazis. Something similar happened when Trump was in office when he used the fact that his daughter converted to Judaism and was married to a hardcore Zionist.

    Also, keep in mind that after WWII and after the destruction of BUND (who dominated Jewish politics before WWII ended), Zionists' hegemony over Jewish politics has become complete, and sadly, Judaism was hijacked & turned into a cult to this date; YES Judaism now is nothing but a Zionist cult. It should be emphasized that almost all Jewish religious establishments petitioned the UN against partitioning Palestine in 1947. Don’t take our word for it, here it is at JVL.

    Back To Haavara FAQs

36. How did Zionist leaders react when other Jewish organizations attempted to replicate Haavara by resettling Jews to safe havens other than Palestine?
    
    

    
    NYTimes, Feb 19th, 1939
    You would think Zionists closed ranks with other Jewish groups and philanthropists who attempted to replicate Haavara's functionality to save Jewish lives.
    You would not think they attempted to torpedo their initiatives?
    
    Well, continue reading; you are onto a big surprise. Although the data about this subject is very murky, we've discovered several serious attempts to replicate Haavara's functionality. However, why they did not materialize is still a matter of debate and research. Why Haavara succeeded and other attempts failed is still a mystery. Here is what we found:

    1) Warburg's Plan: Max Warburg --from the German Jewish banking family from Hamburg, whose Bank cleared much of Haavara’s transactions-- attempted to replicate Haavara in late 1935 but to other safe havens than Palestine. We have no idea why it failed, and the little we know about it is fuzzy! That said, it seems that the Warburgs were neither Zionists nor anti-Zionists; their primary concern was the relief and resettlement of many Eastern Jews around the world, especially in the USSR (i.e., their resettlement of hundreds of thousands of Eastern European Jews in Poland, Ukraine, Crimea, and Belarus, which made Zionist leaders furious), Argentina, and Brazil. The Warburgs also were one of the major backers of the Jewish Joint-Distribution Committee (a.k.a. Joint or JDC), and one of them (Felix) headed the JDC in the US. It seems this Plan went nowhere and got nixed by Jewish organizations since it entailed rewarding Nazis with buying their goods (From Boycott To Annihilation, p. 103 & Jews For Sale?, p. 24). Based on our research, Zionist leaders looked upon the Warburgs as a threat. Actually, in the U.S., Zionists viciously attacked JDC to the point that they accused JDC of treason plus giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the "Jewish people" (The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman p. 128-29). What was tragically funny is that Irgunist Zionists (a.k.a. The Bergson Group) deployed the exact tactic as JDC's to save European Jewry, but Irgunists were spared of being accused of aiding the enemy; Zionists accused them of stealing aid funds and lobbied to drafted them into the US Army, to get them audited by the IRS, or deported to Palestine (see The Bergson Group for more details). You won't believe it until you read the details (The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman p. 130-31, and if you have the time we urge you to explore the Bergson Group whom those Irgunists were part of during WWII).
    
    We extensively researched the Warburgs, and honestly, they could be credited with saving much of the German and Austrian Jewry (almost 80% of both communities survived). The Zionists hated them because their main focus was not on Palestine as the only haven for European Jewry. The Warburgs are rarely talked about because of the Zionists' hatred of them; that is why they were rarely recognized by the Jews. We found this great video about them, which sheds light on many things we were ignorant of, and we believe it will be worth your time to watch.

    To put it simply, if you were a non-Zionist Jew before Nakba, from Zionists' point of view, that implied you were a threat irrespective of how hard you've worked to save Jews. We STRONGLY suspect that is still the case to this date.

    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939

    2) Altreu-Fund Plan: There was another similar scheme that was implemented known as the Altreu-Fund (Allgemeine Treuhandstelle fur judische Auswanderung), which was initiated by the Warburgs too in May 1937 but on terms much less favorable as Haavara. We’ve found references to Altreu in a few places, but don’t have much data about it. It seems that their offices were bombed during the Blitz on London, and their records were destroyed. All we know is that it operated at terms much less favorable than Haavara, and it had little success, according to Mr. Baur. However, he provided no data to back it up. There is so much we don’t know: How many German & Polish Jews were saved using this Plan in the 1930s & during WWII? Who funded it? What was their budget? What were the destinations for those saved Jews? How did Zionist leaders react to Altreu’s operations? (Jews For Sale?, p. 24, From Boycott To Annihilation, p. 103) Also, we've found this version of the German version of Wikipedia; we hope it will help.

    3) Berthold Storfer Plan: In early 1939 and after the Kristallnacht pogrom, Nazis intensified Jewish persecution to drive as many of the German and Austrian Jews out as possible. Adolf Eichmann was put in charge of executing such a plan, and he worked with Zionists (like the Mossad & Haganah) and non-Zionist groups alike to ship as many Jews as possible out of German-controlled territories. To implement this plan, Eichmann coordinated with Berthold Storfer (an Austrian Jewish leader who was funded by the non-Zionist JDC) to coordinate and manage the evacuation process (legally & illegally). It seems that Berthold's actions infuriated Zionists since he planned to save as many Jews as possible, irrespective of the destination (i.e., not exclusively to Palestine)! Of course, that is an anathema to Zionists; how dare he! What was tragic that the same Zionists (who worked hand over fist with the devil for 7 years, especially with Eichmann) called him The traitor collaborating with the devil (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants By Aviva Halamish, p. 141, see at Wikipedia too).

    Jewish children from Germany arrived in Harwich (Essex), coming from the Netherlands, in December 1938

    4) Schacht & Rublee Plans: It seems that the Kristallnacht pogrom not only rattled Jews into action around the world, but Nazis were as terrified of the International backlash too (see Beit-Zvi, p. 191)! It seems that soon after the pogrom, Nazis felt the heat of the boycott against them from around the world (i.e., German exports in Jan. 1939 were down by 12.5%), which pushed Hitler personally to find a way out to German Jews on terms much more favorable than Haavara. What is stunning is that this proposal was initiated by Hitler, who communicated it to both Hjalmar Schacht (the head of Reichsbank) and Field Marshal Hermann Goering (for more details see Politics of Rescue, p. 41 - 44 and chapter 3; see also Beit-Zvi, p. 180-210)! Schacht himself flew to London several times to iron out the details just before he was booted out (for other reasons related to Hitler's insistence on more deficit spending and rearmament) by Hitler on Jan 20th, 1939. All this was documented in a letter Schacht wrote in April 1959 detailing the earlier details (Beit-Zvi wrote excellent summary of this plan on p. 184). However, he added a couple of extra important facts: i) It seems George Rublee was also representing non-Zionist Jewish organizations (JDC is assumed to be included) who, according to him [Schacht], accepted his proposal, but ii) he singled out "..the Zionist Jewish group came out against it"! Jesus, why would Zionists ever be against saving Jews' lives at the last hour? Schacht didn't elaborate! (From Boycott To Annihilation, p. 144-5 and Beit-Zvi, p. 184 and 191) That said, we don't know if a plan was ever implemented, and if so, how many German Jews were saved because of this or other previous plans. All we know is that Germans were deadly serious (which was supported by Hitler and Goering) and a viable plan was on the table as early as January 1939 (even Nazis kept pursuing the deal with the Americans even after WWII was underway), but there were no takers for close to a couple of years. As we shall discover soon, the vast majority of American Jewry (Zionists, non-Zionists, anti-Zionists, and anti-boycott alike) were against it; all dropped the ball. We have no doubts that the fact that no takers were available contributed to the evolution of the Final Solution (we shall address that in more detail later). Anyhow, there is little data available on what happened between Dec. 1938 and Oct 1939. It is very murky, convoluted, and above all, very little field research was done about it. Based on our research, Henry L. Feingold may have provided the best account of this plan in Politics of Rescue, chapter 4; see also Beit-Zvi on page 184. Anyhow, we decided to summarize what we found, and if you have anything to add, please add it in the comments section:

    Boycott Nazi Good in England

    A) Almost all sources we've examined, including the mainstream media, still portray the Evian Conference as a failure (we have addressed this subject in great details in another section). Briefly, we disagree with that assessment: First, we found many countries (not just the Dominican Republic, but Mandano-Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, Rodisia, and Peru) were willing to accept Jewish refugees as long they were self-supporting (similar to Capitalist visas in Palestine). Those nations felt it was unfair for them to take in German Jews, especially when the Nazis had just dispossessed them. From their point of view, this was like giving Nazis a helping hand, which is, of course, understandable (for more detail see Politics of Rescue, chapter 2 especially p. 31 - 34, plus p. 39; see Beit-Zvi on p. 182). Therefore, the policy of not taking in Jews wasn't based on antisemitism as the media often portrays it to be, and that plays into the Zionist narrative! Second, Evian triggered a chain of activities that increased public awareness about the issues at hand; this cannot be brushed aside easily. To put it simply, FDR and others didn't have the political capital to take in refugees; the world economy hadn't recovered yet from the great depression. Love it or hate it, the situation in the 1930s and 40s was comparable to the anti-immigrant sentiment nowadays in the West. The source of this sentiment is economic, way more than based on racism, especially in the US.

    The arrival of a Kindertransport at Waterloo Station, Feb. 2nd, 1939

    B) Here are the details: Schacht suggested creating two funds: one in Germany and its counterpart in London (a.k.a. counterfund). The one in Germany would’ve been funded with up to RM1.5 billion from the liquidated German Jewish assets, and the rest (up to RM4.5 billion) will be released when other countries buy German exports (as Haavara did for seven years). The fund in London (counterfund) would’ve been funded by Jewish organizations and other NGOs. It should be noted that Schacht's successors, Walther Funk & Hermann Goering, later confirmed this proposal. (Jews For Sale?: p. 33-34, NYTimes, Feb. 19^th, 1939: Reich’s Export down by 12.5%, Rublee-Schacht Plan: Part One & Part Two, Mitchell Gehman: p. 42 - 44, and Adam Tooze, p. 280-81)

    C) Most importantly, the Reich Flight Tax will be suspended, emigration will be executed in an orderly fashion, repression of Jews will stop, and those who remain will be allowed to resume their lives normally until they can emigrate within a period between 4 to 5 years. (Jews For Sale?, p. 34-39, NYTimes, Feb 19^th, 1939: Rublee-Schacht Plan: Part One & Part Two, Mitchell Gehman: p. 42 - 44). Sadly, many Jews in the boycott movement in America interpreted Hitler's "generous" concessions as a signal that his government was teetering and a little more boycott would bring Hitler down (Post-Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 195-96)! Of course, their judgment was based on zero facts! That was a great example of how American Jewry dropped the ball; that is why very little is written about this period! It contains so many mine fields!

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    D) Of course, Zionist leaders rejected this Plan (Mr. Baur, p. 39, From Boycott To Annihilation, p. 144-5), but what was surprising was that many non-Zionist Jewish leaders rejected it too, although Schacht confirmed their acceptance in his 1959 letter (From Boycott To Annihilation, p. 144-5)! This is very puzzling! At the time, non-Zionist Jewish leaders may have been consumed with boycotting Nazis (which was intensified after the Kristallnacht pogrom) and were concerned with aiding Nazis by buying German goods (although many of them didn’t reject Haavara, which did the same thing for seven years). On the other hand, why did Schacht write in April 1959 that the American Jewish Aid Committee reported to Rublee that they accepted his plan? Anyhow, this poor leadership and constant dithering drove the US president (FDR) to pressure Jewish groups (inclusive of the JDC) to support this Plan and ask them to raise funds in support of the counterfund in London. (Jews For Sale?, p. 33-43) Is this what Schacht was alluding to in his 1959 letter?

    
    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939

    E) All non-Zionist Jewish groups kept flip-flopping and dithering for up to 10+ months on whether to support the Schacht-Rublee Plan (see Post-Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 194-210). However, in the end, all recognized that even if they agreed to the Plan, they still didn’t have the money (estimated at $600 million) to support the counterfund. Continue reading; there was a viable and cheap solution to fund this counterfund, which Zionists implemented years earlier with Haavara.

    F) In the end, all kept wasting precious time (up to ten months) until Hitler invaded Poland and WWII was underway (see Post-Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 197-199).
    
    If you are interested in the boring details showing how Zionists worked hand over fist to frustrate this scheme, we urge you to read what Beit Zvi wrote in Chapter 8 (Post Uganda: Zionism On Trial, p. 164-210); you might lose your religion. We vouch for his research; we have double-checked most citations.

    Analysis

    Antisemitic stickers were put on Jewish-owned stores in Portland, Oregon, on June 26, 1938

    What was sad is that all this dithering and indecisiveness drove Hitler to think that, in practice, no one cared; even Jews didn’t care, and the gentile FDR had to step in to save the day! Even the non-Zionist Jews didn’t comprehend the seriousness of the current moment (Beit-Zvi lamented this what-if scenario on p. 195-196 and 201-202). Therefore, in practice, Hitler was correct: all voted with their actions and proved they didn't care. From Hitler's viewpoint: he did all he could to avoid mass murder, thus he can not be blamed; even Jews didn't care! It should be noted that the second fund in London (counterfund) could have been quickly funded by selling securities on Wall Street and London using the German fund as collateral, which Zionists implemented at Tel-Aviv clearing houses. The Warburgs could have easily solved this problem by creating a special type of security to fund the counterfund. All this made the "final solution" inevitable, which Hitler attempted to avoid for nine years. It seems that Hitler orchestrated Kristallnacht as a last effort on his part to push as many Jews out of the Reich as possible. Despite all of that, Hitler still didn't give up, which explains why he contemplated relocating the Jews to Madagascar as late as August of 1940!

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    Not in Hitler's defense, but it seems he was genuinely trying to avoid being pushed into the genocide option. In other words, the name of the Final Solution was accurate; honestly, we didn't expect that when we started doing our research. Irrespective of whether you agree or disagree, it is a fact that only a few took Hitler's rants seriously (aside from Zionists, many of whom believed in Catastrophic Zionism), a few cared (mostly Gentiles), and the majority thought he was bluffing (for more details, read Hitler's famous rant that lasted for two hours on Jan. 30th, 1939)! Also keep in mind that Hitler kept Europe's doors open for Jews to leave until late 1941; this by itself was a big clue that he was reluctant to execute the Holocaust and it was his last option. In this regard, we ask you to contemplate Beit-Zvi's conclusion concerning this plan:

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    These events, together with many others, exemplify a bitter and persistent truth that is deeply interwoven in the episode of the Rublee Plan. That fact -- which cannot be expunged or obliterated from the annals of the Jewish people-- is that for nearly a year, a group of American non-Jews headed by Myron Taylor under the active auspices of President Roosevelt engaged in considerable efforts to extricate the Jews of Germany.

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    The dedicated activity of the Americans had the vacillating aid of British representatives and, to a lesser degree, of other countries. Throughout this entire period the attitude of the Jewish organizations swung between total opposition on the part of the overwhelming majority, and constrained and reluctant cooperation on the part of a few functionaries whose true motivation was opposition to rival Jewish organizations. And on the issue that is of primary concern to us: the Zionist movement vigorously opposed the Rublee Plan and did all it could to thwart its implementation. (Post-Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 206)

    The Evian Conference: America, Keep The Jews Out!

    Despite all of these facts, Germany's and Austria's Jews got Hitler's message; that is why they were fleeing Germany at a record pace just before the war: for example, in 1938, 102,000 left, and in 1939, 144,000 emigrated. (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35; see also the excellent accounting that was done by Beit-Zv, who got slightly different numbers on p. 207-210) It is not known if any of these schemes contributed to saving any, or Jews left the Reich and normally got taxed at a rate of 96% of their assets' value as outlined in Reich Flight Tax! Irrespective of how they went, all we know is that between 200,000 to 250,000 Jews were saved within less than two years, while the Haavara Agreement allegedly "saved" 53,000 in seven years; the vast majority saved themselves using their monies. To put it simply, Palestine and other countries would have granted them entry visas with or without Haavara (Jews For Sale? p. 17)!

    What if the Evian Conference was a resounding success?
    What would have been the impact of saving European Jewry on Zionism?

    Catastrophic Zionism at its worst: Zionists often spoke of the Holocaust decades before its time. What did Zionists do to confront it? Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade with the Nazis!

    Let's contemplate this what-if scenario: what if Jewish leaders, along with the rest of the world, communicated to Hitler in action that they cared soon after the Evian Conference? What if they didn't waste over a year dithering after Evian? What if they did exploit Schacht & Rublee plans? What if they quickly responded in kind to Hitler's "generous" concessions (after the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938 which we outlined earlier)? What if American Jewry didn't interpret Hitler's concessions as weakness? We have ZERO doubts that the Holocaust would have been avoided, and if it had to happen, it would have been mild compared to what occurred. Hjalmar Schacht (the head of Reichsbank who engineered the rescue plan ten months before WWII was started) was known to have concluded a similar conclusion at his trial in Nuremberg (Post-Ugandan Zionism by Beit-Zvi, p. 202).

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    As we outlined earlier; the last thing Hitler wanted to do was a genocide; as evil as he was that is the truth that most Holocaust historians agree with. This fact alone explains why the final solution evolved late in the game by mid-1942. On the other hand, let us not kid ourselves too, we all know in that different world, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Romania would’ve immediately demanded similar deals to rid themselves of another four to five million Jews too. Actually, Zionist leaders (who mostly subscribed to the Catastrophic Zionism idea) expected the calamity in Poland first, which had a much larger Jewish population than Germany.

    NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight both the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis for the Gentiles so they can focus on defeating the White Paper
    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in "empty" Palestine

    Assuming the reasons for the Holocaust were taken off the table by early 1942, and other solutions were available to the "Jewish problem," that implies Jews would have found a haven. On the other hand, saving European Jewry implied that the catastrophe (a.k.a. Nakba in Arabic) would have been transferred from Europe's Jews to Zionism, correct? Hell YES. Just in case you think our interpretations are simple rants by anti-Zionist Palestinians, please think twice. Actually, that is precisely how David Ben-Gurion articulated it just before the Evian Conference was convened:

    The Jews could have only one destination - Eretz Yisrael. So in June 1938, shortly before Allied representatives met in Evian, France, to seek ways of rescuing Jews, Ben-Gurion frankly voiced his concern to colleagues in the Jewish Agency Executive. He did "not know if the [Evian] conference will open the gates of other countries [Oh, God forbid]. . . . But I am afraid [ it ] might cause tremendous harm to Eretz Yisrael and Zionism . . . . Our main task is to reduce the harm, the danger and the disaster [Ben-Gurion was referring to harming the yishuv; he was not referring to harming diaspora Jews; the was the LEVER] . . . and the more we emphasize the terrible distress of the Jewish masses in Germany, Poland and Rumania, the more damage we shall cause ." So be silent, Ben-Gurion cautioned his comrades. . . . And in the silence . . . Evian [Conference] failed. (see NY Times -- June 12th, 1987)
    
    [David Ben-Gurion repeated the same argument ten years later when he was so worried that Americans would soften their hearts and let in Jewish refugees in the DP camps. We guess some habits die hard. ]

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    Let us be honest, Herr Ben-Gurion was accurate: saving European Jewry as FDR designed it before WWII would have been a disaster to his Zionist program; the math proves it. Therefore, Zionism would be much better of Evian failed. This pressure cooker of a scenario was precisely the moment Zionists were patiently waiting to exploit for four decades! This pressure cooker was the energy source which David Ben-Gurion often referred to as the LEVER that would create his state (Hannah Arendt compared this process to the steam power that moves a locomotive)! Wasn't that exactly the manufactured Jewish refugee crisis Zionists plotted and hoped for at Evian? Wasn't that exactly how Theodor Herzl envisioned the "Jewish state" would have been created four decades earlier?

    Just in case you think these evil thoughts were isolated to a few Zionist leaders, we ask you to contemplate again how Chaim Weizmann framed the catastrophe for Zionism around the same period too just before the conference was held. Actually, Chaim's top concern was how to starve and hoard rescue funds since those were harmful to their project. If you read Chaim's letter (which was leaked via a carbon copy), well, you might lose your mind. Levi Eshkol and Moshe Sharitt were known to have said something similar around the same time window as well. For you are curious and you have the time, here are the meeting minutes of the Jewish Agency Executive (a.k.a. JAE) soon after the Kristallnacht pogrom of Nov. 1938, and here is how Ben-Gurion responded when he heard that British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children a month after the infamous pogrom.

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    Here is the unvarnished truth: Hitler’s obsession with antisemitism was no aberration; much of European "civilization" was based on such ideologies and beliefs: Jim Crow, apartheid, genocides, colonization, land theft, ethnic cleansing, concentration camps, reservations, national socialism, Zionism, national socialism, fascism,..etc. didn't evolve out of the blue. In other words, what Hitler did in Europe was only a small dose of what Europeans did in the global south for centuries. Let us be honest: only a few European nations wanted their Jewish citizens to remain, and none of those were in Central and Eastern Europe (examine Winston Churchill's antisemitism on full display as late as July 1937). Now, do you understand why all Europeans eagerly voted for partitioning Palestine in 1947? Why wouldn't they when many of them handed their Jewish citizens to the SS just a few years earlier? What is better than dumping their "Jewish problem" onto Palestine, thus, out of sight out of mind. What is the big deal if Palestinians paid for Europeans' antisemitism with their hopes and dreams? Many indigenous peoples were genocided, and Palestinians fared much better; right? Well, that is what Nakba was to Palestinians.

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    For those reasons, Zionists of all shades lobbied like against any haven for Jews except for Palestine. Saving Jews outside of Palestine rendered their evil project mute; that is why the catastrophe had to happen to enable Zionism! Think about it: why a "Jewish state" is needed when Jews could have been saved somewhere else? When antisemitism wasn't good for Zionism? Never!
    
    Some may think that was an afterthought, that wasn't done with bad intentions, and stuff just happened as such. Well, hang on to your seat. Soon after WWII was under way, Zionist leaders of all shades knew well that they cannot fight Hitler and the British White Paper of 1939 at the same time, and one of them had to give. That is why fighting Nazis was avoided to the bitter end; that was left for the Gentiles. Note how Zionist knew well that fighting Hitler was also correlated with rescuing Jews to places other than Palestine. Thus, such rescue schemes must be hindered as much as possible and their funds diverted to the Zionist projects in Palestine. In a nutshell, that precisely Jewish plight was monetized politically and financially. For the love of God, the word "rescue" to Zionist leaders during the pre-Nakba period had negative connotations; poor Ben-Gurion's stomach used to turn when he used such a word! Much to our surprise, much of American Jewry voted in favor of such an agenda at the height of the calamity and only a vocal minority of them dissented! We are aware that the facts are too much to fathom; but trust us on this one: once you read the details from Israeli and Zionist sources, you may lose trust in humanity.

    Which hate speech was worse: Hitler's hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939, or Ben-Gurion's speech (just two months before Hitler's speech) when he incited the murder of German Jews a month after Kristallnacht?

    Ironically, Jews and those who ganged upon them are on "good" terms, and bygones became bygones soon after the Holocaust, although the graves were still fresh! You would think Jews, among all people, have six million reasons not be in the same bed with fascists so quickly! If you believe that Germany was quickly denazified after WWII ended, then you need to get your head examined! Much of Nazism was only rebranded in the name of defeating communism! Fascism didn't appear lately all of a sudden; it has been always simmering under the surface since WWII ended, and its ambers (e.g., copycat version of Father Charles Coughlin) have been flaring up all over the "liberal" West. What happened by the Germans could easily have been done by any European nation plus America (see Rachel Meadow's Ultra series if you care). Just imagine several versions of mini-Hitler but with a hundred nuclear warheads! Well, that is a reality; say hello to Bibi! Fasten your seat belts; the future is not going to be pretty, and the system we have is way more fragile than most people think!

37. How did Zionist leaders foment antisemitism? How did they position themselves to profit from inciting antisemitism? 
    

    "What Jews were unwilling to do when they had the opportunity, we can get them to do under [conditions of] duress" Levi Eshkol in the 1930s

    A Brief Introduction

    As will be proven shortly from Zionist and Israeli sources, the Zionist mindset during the pre-Nakba period looked with contempt towards the Jews who either refused to immigrate to Palestine (Aliyah in Hebrew), or those who immigrated to countries other than Palestine. From the Zionists' point of view, those Jews were voting with their feet against the "Jewish state" to be, especially when Zionism needed them the most in Palestine to defeat the Indigenous people. Keep in mind that during the pre-Nakba period, Jews were a minority in Palestine (as of Nakba, Jews were a third of the population but only 10% of citizens), and for Zionists to become sovereign; they had to become the outright majority. Thus, Zionists were desperate to become the majority quickly since the window of opportunity was closing in the late 1930s (Zionism faced an existential crisis just before WWII was started, see the British White Paper of 1939 for more details), and for this to happen Jews had to be directed to Palestine; and to ONLY Palestine. Nowhere else; end of story!

    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after the Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers, shows how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!

    As the Jewish refugee crisis intensified, European Jews preferred to immigrate to the Americas and England. As a result, Zionist leaders were very angry who used to openly foment antisemitism against them as we shall see soon. Actually, after Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938, the hostility was in the open, especially when 10,000 German Jewish children were quickly transported and saved by the British people (in what became known as the Kindertransport). David Ben-Gurion (the founder of the "Jewish state") was fuming with anger because those poor children chose England over "his Jewish" Palestine. The more Zionists fomented antisemitism, the more Europe's Jews distrusted and destested Zionists, and when they were forced to leave Europe (due to the Jewish refugee crisis in the late 1930s); they preferred to immigrate to the Americas and England to live with the Gentile, and not to Palestine. To Zionist leaders at the time, who felt a big slap in the face, they felt betrayed. To them, it felt as if Europe's Jews were flipping their middle fingers to them at a moment of crisis. Pay attention to how America's Jewry was excluded from such negative feelings; rarely did Zionists incite antisemitism against them; at least during the pre-Nakba period. American Jewry was needed for another task! Anyhow, who knows; that might change!

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    That is why Europe's Jews of all shaded and political backgrounds were the FIRST to recognize how Zionism posed an existential problems to all of them; that is why they looked upon Zionists as the enemy from within. This fissure in the Jewish community was for real, and it only healed after the 6-Days War in 1967. As you read old publications and news clips; you can see how both sides used to seethe with anger against each other. For example, here is a sample from NY Times editor and publisher, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, railing against Zionism in Oct 1946. If you have the time, we highly recommend reading Hannah Arendt's Eichmann In Jerusalem (Jews canceled her once she exposed the Kapos phenomenon in the death camps), and this NY Times-Oped she wrote with Albert Einstein as the war of Nakba was being concluded. A word of advice: stay away from publications after 1967; the older ones contain the truth. The Ministry of Truth has been hard at work!

    The Evidence

    Kindertransport children's ID Cards

    From Zionist leaders' point of view, all they cared about was their state, and Jewish persecution was only a means to an end. Actually, David Ben-Gurion described this process (which he inherited from Theodor Herzl) as the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state." In this regard, we quote Ariel Lekaditis (a Yad Vashem historian and Holocaust educator), who described Zionist Leaders' behaviors in the 1930s and 40s as follows. Honestly, his description is second to none:

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    As is seen, one basic axis on which the politics of the Zionist movement was shaped was the absence of any attempt of opposition with any form of antisemitism. Can this axis from the moment it was enshrined with the above descriptions have contributed to the promotion of anti-Semitism in Europe? A second basic axis was the idea of the transfer of Jews from the German territories and their transportation to the land of Israel. These two elements of Zionist ideology and politics lead to the equation of the “values of Jew--hatred” with the values of anti-Semitism. It further resulted in the recognition of the anti-Semites by the Zionists, as allies, and as “their most reliable protectors and sponsors.”

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    The politics of the Zionist movement and their ideology towards the rest of the German Jews were very explicit. There was no doubt that they separated themselves by the German Jews who were placed in a separate category: they didn’t speak Hebrew; they didn’t belong to the Zionist movement; were too old to have children, or didn’t have the financial resources to support the settlement of Palestine, a purpose which was of course offered the criteria for this separation. Therefore, the Zionist movement not only didn’t do anything for the confrontation of the Holocaust, but also fought strongly against any immigration policy that was oriented to the transportation of the German Jews to save them. German Zionism and the German Jews

    JWV: Boycott German Industry

    Mr. Lekaditis earlier clearly implied that when antisemitism doesn't exist, Zionists fomented (at a minimum, they wished it to happen) it to serve their political interests! Actually, Edwin Montagu (a Jewish member of the British cabinet) reached a similar conclusion two decades before Nakba, in August 1917 Mr. Montagu warned Lord Balfour that Jewish hate would be the result of such an ideology. Honestly, we cannot agree more; love it or hate it: Zionists always sided with their interests irrespective of the consequences and risks to Jews or non-Jews; antisemitism always severed Zionism well.
    
    From trial and error, Zionists figured out that antisemitism is a weapon and could be monetized to further their political, propaganda, and financial interests. That is how fomenting antisemitism served them well and it still it does to this date (that's Zionists' golden goose that keeps on giving). Many American Jews witnessed lately how Zionists fomented Trump's fascism (at least during his first administration) and antisemitism, and who (meaning Trump) used their support to deflect away antisemitism charges. Guess what? Hitler used the same tactic too almost 80 years ago! Isn't that a blast from the past? Isn't that what happened during the 1930s when Zionists were the first to praise Hitler and to welcome Nuremberg Race Laws with the Wear It With Pride slogan?

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but at a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    Anyhow, Mr. Lekaditis presented an explanation, and he used Jabotinsky to describe how the Zionist mind thought, at least during the pre-Nakba:

    Ze’ev Jabotinsky, a leading figure of Revisionist Zionism, wrote under the same notion that “The Jewish people is a very bad people; its neighbors hate it and rightly so...its only salvation lies in a general immigration to the land of Israel”. The substance of Jabotinsky’s thought around nationalism was the idea that physical and racial basic differences existed among nations. This does not mean that he supported the idea of “superiority” of a nation towards another. He rejected any notion related to racism. His [Jabotinsky's] nationalism was based on the notion that the nation is above the person; therefore, the nation had primacy. More or less this idea around the nature and the role of nationalism affected and applied to all Zionist schools of thought. The need of the nation to save and to restore its existence from the danger of persecution is crucial, and it can be achieved by returning to the territorial homeland. German Zionism and the German Jews

    To prove our point, please contemplate what David Ben-Gurion said once he was done reading Mein Kampf 1934, he declared:

    Revisionists Boycott Poster

    "Hitler's policy puts all the Jewish people in danger", Ben-Gurion hoped that Nazis' victory would become "a fertile force" for Zionism [what about for the Jews David, did you care about them!] (The Seventh Million, p. 18)
    
    [What Ben-Gurion called the "fertile force" was the LEVEL (which he often spoke in the 1930s) that would create the "Jewish state."]

    The same logic applies for Ze'ev Jabotinsky, who stated in early 1933:

    "The Third Reich's policy towards the Jews calls for a war of extermination. It is being conducted in a way that exceeds the bounds of humanity."(The Seventh Million, p. 18) which Jabotinsky asserted two years later too.

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    [Ask yourself: What did Jabotinsky and his Revisionist followers do to confront Hitler? Here is how the fathers of "Jewish Nationalism" confronted the rise of fascism: Ze'ev (Wolfy) and his followers doubled down on fascism with Hitler's fascist mentor Mussolini! Wolfy did the same thing but with his Polish fascist buddies before WWII. Revisionists were hardcore hardcore cynical, they were anti-Haavara only after Ben-Gurion and co. stole it from them first (see Haavara V1.0 by Sam Cohen)! Ironically, Jabotinsky attempted to replicate Haavara with Poland's fascists. But again, Ben-Gurion and Co. usurped it from him just before the war started!
    
    Let us fast forward to the 1940s, Jabotinsky's followers either reached out for alliance with the Nazis (as late as 1941), or bombed WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland! YES, two of Israel's future PMs (Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir) did exactly that during WWII. Mazeltov, Jews on this lovely gift for humanity: Zionism!]

    Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?

    Here is Ben-Gurion speaking forcefully in defense of Haavara on December 11th, 1935 (two months after the Nazis enacted the Nuremberg Race Laws). Note how David spoke of the destruction of German Jewry six years before the fact; despite this assertion, he and other Jewish Agency Executives allocated under 10% of the immigration certificates to German Jews (much of the certificates were grants from the British):

    Only Eretz-Israel can serve as a cure for German Jewry, even if not for all of them; any other "cure" is a false hope. We cannot topple Hitler; perhaps he will be toppled some other way. We must be concerned with the fate of the children and women, who are choking in this destructive hell. There is one way to rescue them-- to bring them to Eretz-Israel, with their capital. Their capital -- that is, merchandise, and by this I do not mean French or English merchandise. The only question is whether the money will return to Germany. This is not German merchandise; this is Jewish capital, belonging to Jews who are going to their destruction ... we have no other honor except by rescuing Jews and bringing them to Eretz-Israel. (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 104)

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    [Notice how Ben-Gurion clearly implied that Jews could ONLY BE RESCUED in Eretz-Israel, and that explains why he referred to saving Jews, in countries other than of Palestine, as a "Witch Doctor's Medicine"! We didn't make it up; those were Ben-Gurion's own words! Zionists' antisemitism operated in the open in the 1930s and 40s.]

    Now please contemplate Chaim Weizmann while addressing the 20th Zionist Congress in August 1937. Chaim recalled being asked whether he was saying that Palestine could accommodate all six million of Europe’s Jews; notice how Weizmann used the six million figure four years before the Final Solution. Here is how Weizmann's replied:

    Catastrophic Zionism at its worst: Zionists often spoke of the Holocaust decades before its time. What did Zionists do to confront it? Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade with the Nazis!

    "I told the Royal Commission that the hopes of 6,000,000 Jews are centered on emigration", he reported to the Zionist Congress in 1937. “Then I was asked: But can you bring 6,000,000 Jews to Palestine?" I replied, "No. I am acquainted with the laws of physics and chemistry, and I knew the force of material factors. In our generation I divide the figure by three, and you can see in that the depth of the Jewish tragedy -two millions of youth, with their lives before them, who have lost the most elementary of rights, the right to work." He finished off with a stark grim forecast, which even now, nearly forty years later, one shudders to read: "The old ones will pass, they will bear their fate or they will net. They are dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world, And again I thought of our tradition, What ts tradition? It is telescoped memory. We remember. Thousands of years ago we heard the words of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and my words are but a weak echo of what was said by our judges, our singers and prophets. Two millions, and perhaps less: She'erit Hapletah- only a branch shall survive. We have to accept it."(Prof. Chimen Abramsky, p. 144 and here is the same quote from "The Times of Israel Blog" but it included the antisemitic racist version too)
    
    [Pay attention to how Chaim almost used Ben-Gurion's terminology: "Witch Doctor's Medicine"! Thus, why bother to save the Jews outside of Palestine? They are doomed anyhow! Just imagine if Erwin Rommel made it to Palestine, which was a real possibility in 1941-42. In case you are curious, we have addressed that scenario in depth in another section.]

    SS men and police take away the Jewish men after Kristallnacht

    What was truly chilling was how Zionists Edwin Black (p. 226) and Tom Segev (p. 18,102-104) both found that Zionists used to talk about the calamity as if it was inevitable, as if shoah already happened starting from the mid-1930s (The Holocaust And The_Rise of Israel, p, 100). Therefore, in Zionists' minds, very little could be done to save Europe's Jews! Much to our surprise, we have found that the idea of Yad Vashem was born in the early days of the Holocaust (summer of 1942) when news of the calamity was barely known to FDR. As if in the Zionist mind, the Holocaust already happened; it is in the past, and one thing left for them to do is how to exploit the calamity and to turn it as the LEVER (using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) in the service of building their "Jewish state"! Please contemplate how Edwin Black described Zionists' mindset before the Shoah was underway to get a clearer picture:

    SS men and police take away the Jewish men they have arrested in Baden, Baden. November 10, 1938

    "In the minds of Zionists, Jewish life in Germany could not be saved, only transferred. Even if Hitler and the German economy were crushed, Jewish wealth in Germany would be crushed with it...[as if Black implies that crushing Nazi Germany early on doesn't serve the Zionist cause!] ..The wealth had to be saved. Through the speedy liquidation and transfer of that wealth, the Jewish homeland could be built, thus creating the refuge needed for a mass transfer of the people. Zionism had declared from the moment of Herzl that antisemitic regimes were to be opposed. They [antisemitic regimes] were to be cooperated with in the transfer of Jews and their wealth." (p. 226)

    Nazis vs. Zionists: Two sides of the same coin

    Some make the mistake of thinking that Zionists' antisemitism is a thing of the past; that is a big mistake. Fomenting antisemitism was and still is Zionists' Golden Goose, which lays golden eggs whenever they want. To learn more about Herzl's antisemitism and how that affected Zionists from the beginning, we urge your read his Mauschel article, then you will understand that Zionists' antisemitism was done by design. Weaponizing Jewish hate was Zionists' golden goose, it keeps on going, that is why Europe's Jews didn't want to be part of them. For example, after Oct 7th's Raid, Zionists purposely distributed "I Love Hamas" stickers, and when they were caught red-handed; they behaved as its not a big deal. Anyhow, we hate to bore you on this subject, but if you have three minutes to spare, we urge you to watch this video for a Canadian Jew who reported on a much sinister scandal in Canada!

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away

    To get a better context, to recognized that what you have read wasn't an anti-Zionist rant; we urge you to read the whole final chapter in Shabtai Teveth's book (who was Ben-Gurion's official biographer). The title of the last chapter is very revealing: "Disaster Means Strength". For the love of God, if he called it: "Jews as firewood," that would've been way more appropriate. As you read it, you shall discover that during the pre-Nakba period, Ben-Gurion & Co. kept emphasizing the importance of exploiting Jewish pain and suffering in the process of building the "Jewish state." You shall find NOTHING WHATSOVER about rescuing Jews. On the contrary, what was tragically funny was that the word rescue to Zionists used to have negative connotations. Once you examine what was spent on rescue from what was allocated and collected, well, you might lose your religion; you have been warned.

    Abraham Burg (the former speaker of the Israeli Knesset) described the following jaw-dropping encounter with the former Israeli president (Ezer Weizman):

    The arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939

    What do we Israelis know of the lives, dreams, and fears of American Jews? What do we learn about the North African Jews who immigrated to France, or the Latin American Jews? Not a clue, and worse --we simply do not care. "They should either come and live here," the late President Ezer Weizman once told me angrily, "or they should go to hell." This was the thinking when he grew up in the British mandate of Palestine. Land of Israel, thus they were ignored during the Shoah, and this is still the sentiment today. If they are well, they do not interest us at all: if their condition worsens, it only justifies our choices.
    This is catastrophic Zionism [Jabotinsky once promoted] at its worst. What is bad for the Jews is better for Zionism.(p. 99-100)

    Now contemplate how the future Israeli PM (Levi Eshkol) looked upon antisemitism as the tool in creating the "Jewish state". By now, that shouldn't be a surprise to you. Below we are quoting a Hasbarah "expert" (Abraham J Edelheit) just to show you how fomenting antisemitism could be watered down; could be whitewashed:

    8-year-old Josepha Salmon, arriving from Germany destined for the Dovercourt Bay camp near Harwich in December 1938

    An explicit call for the JAE to act in response to the suffering of Jews in Eastern Europe was made by Levi Skolnik (Eshkol). "What Jews were unwilling to do when they had the opportunity," he said, "we can now get them to do under [conditions of] duress." In a sense, Skolnik appeared to be welcoming antisemitism, at least insofar as pressure to emigrate became an impetus for Jews to turn to Zionism. Such, however, was not his purpose. Even if the Zionists did not properly assess the Nazi threat, none of them looked forward to the prospect of Jewish suffering. Again, a Zionist leader was caught in the same rhetorical trap analyzed by the “Catastrophic Zionism” school: for forty years, Zionists had predicted an impending assault on European Jewry. When the predicted catastrophe arrived, however, they were unable to rise above the “business as usual” attitude that permeated the Yishuv’s daily politics. (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 109)
    
    [Tom Segev reported something similar after WWII ended, see The First Israelis, p. 109-110
    
    Now imagine if the same sentence was written by Mufti Haj Amin, not Mr. Eshkol, would Mr. Edelheit write similarly to water down his antisemitism! That would be a death wish! We wish him no harm!

    Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?

    Aviva Halamish seems to be alluding that she may have reached a similar conclusion too:

    From the very beginning of the crisis, the Zionist Executive aspired to turn the plight of Germany’s Jews into a lever for increasing Jewish immigration into Palestine. [therefore, Jews become the majority which clears the path for the creation of the "Jewish state"]
    Another measure that turned the plight of Germany’s Jews into a lever for increasing Jewish immigration into Palestine was the establishment of numerous funds and institutions dedicated to aiding them to leave Germany and to be resettled in Palestine. (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants , p. 128)

    John Quigley (whom we quoted at length at the Evian Conference section) has an excellent description of Zionists' intentional reckless endangerment of Europe's Jews, our comments have been added in italics and between brackets:

    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939

    The refusal to encourage the West to take in Jews at risk in Europe continued even as wartime atrocities unfolded. At the Extraordinary Zionist Conference held at the Biltmore Hotel in New York in 1942, Nahum Goldmann expressed alarm at what the Nazi government might do to the Jews if it were to find itself on the edge of defeat. Goldmann spelled out a doomsday scenario. “Who can foretell what the Nazi regime, once brought into the position of the surrounded killer, will do in the last moment before it goes down to shame?” Like Ben Gurion in 1938, Goldmann focused exclusively on Palestine as a venue for Jews seeking to leave Europe. Historian Aaron Berman, recounting Goldmann’s Biltmore speech, commented, “Surprisingly, Goldmann didn’t propose any program to come to the immediate aid of those threatened with annihilation. Instead, he called for the establishment of a Jewish Commonwealth that could absorb two million Jewish refugees in the decade following the war.”[Therefore, although Zionists knew the calamity was near (the Holocaust started just after the Biltmore conference) and actually could happen any moment, still they didn't waver from their fixation on Palestine!]
    
    There was logic to the Zionist Organization’s position if one accepts the premise that Jews would be safe only if they had their state. [This was the biggest lie Zionists sold to others and themselves: The mass majority of Jews were saved outside of Palestine even after Palestine was ethnically cleansed out of its people to make room for persecuted European Jews. Despite of Zionists assertion (that "Jews could be only saved in Palestine"), Europe's Jews STILL refused to immigrate in mass to Palestine who mostly voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles, not to Palestine even after it was emptied of its people! More often than not, Jews only chose Palestine when no other option was available, which is a fact that persists to this date. That is why Ben-Gurion airlifted Arab Jews after Nakba in early 1950s and 1960s to populate the emptied country]

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    At the Biltmore Hotel conference, a coalition of Zionist groups came out publicly to declare their aim as being a “commonwealth” to encompass the territory of Palestine. This became the position of the Zionist Organization. But Palestine was not large enough to handle more than a small percentage of the world’s Jews, even if they all felt the need to settle there. Even so, the Zionists could argue, a haven should be available for Jews.

    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939

    At the same time, the position of the Zionist leadership opened them to the criticism that they were leaving Jews to die in Germany, for lack of an immediately available destination for their resettlement. The Zionists purported to be champions of world Jewry, yet their policy arguably left Jews in unnecessary jeopardy. To be sure, the Western governments were not anxious to take in large numbers of Jews, even as the clouds of genocide were gathering in Germany. But the Zionist movement contributed to the reluctance of the Western governments. In upholding strict immigration quotas, those governments could take comfort in the fact that their policy was approved by the Zionists. (The International Diplomacy of Israel's Founders by John Quigley, p. 51-52 & 52-53) [Even in the law of the jungle and in the best case situation, Zionists conduct could only be characterized as intentional reckless endangerment. How Jews (especially American Jews) slurp their garbage is truly mind-boggling! How Jews are not anti-Zionists hundreds of times more than Palestinians is surprising. It should be noted that when Trump was the US President, Zionist leaders replicated this dangerous pattern not only with Trump but also with other fascists and known antisemites around the world! Honestly, we wonder: which fascists, which antisemites, Zionists haven't slept with! Love it or hate, Jews at large are complicit in enabling antisemitism's fomenters!]

    To rub salt into the wound, Ben-Gurion, among all Zionists, dared to act surprised at how and why Jews came as the war of Nakba concluded. David wrote in November 1948:

    "There was this guy named Hitler in Germany, Hitler appeared and the Jews began to come" (The Seventh Million, p. 34)
    
    What is tragically funny was that whenever Europe's Jews were given a choice, often they preferred with the Gentiles in other countries, especially in the Americas, especially after Nakba when danger abated and Palestine was emptied of its people!

    Is it possible that Areil's prior assessment explains how and why Zionist leaders spoke about Shoah in the past tense before it happened? See Edwin Black (p. 226) and Tom Segev (p. 102-104) Yes, Zionists spoke of the calamity as if they were expecting it during the 1930s, and in the 1940s they did their best to play it down! (Abraham Burg p. 74)
    You would not think the Zionist movement would sink low and compare themselves to National Socialism to impress Hitler. You would not think they would praise the Nuremberg Race Laws.
    Is it possible when antisemitism didn't exist; Zionists wished to be the case? As Levi Eshkol implied to was the case during the 1930s! Even Eichmann confessed to Israeli police in 1961 that his Haganah handlers (Feivl Polkes and several others) told him that his Zionist leaders were pleased with German Jews' persecution since that would nudge them into making aliyah! (The Holocaust Library, The Seventh Million, p. 30, The Secret Contacts: Zionism and Nazi Germany, 1933-1941 p. 71-72, 73-74, & 75-76) How harmful a little nudge will be! Hello Mr. Eichmann!
    Does this explain nudging Iraqi Jews (just a little bit) to expedite their departure in the early 1950s? Here is an interview with a Mossad agent who was caught red-handed.
    How else the emptied country after Nakba could be populated once European Jews voted with their feet, and chose to immigrate to the Americas over "Eritz Israel"! Come on guys, a little nudge does no one harm, would it? Did it? Did Zionists care?

    Finally, if you still give Zionists the benefit of the doubt, and you feel that we have not made the case against Zionism; we urge you to read how Zionist leaders responded to the Evian Conference. In this regard, we urge you to watch Johnny Harris (the famous YouTuber who is a known supporter of the "Jewish state") for two minutes explaining how Zionism has been a failure and how it has created a state that provided the opposite of the security and safety it promised the "Jewish people":
    
    
    How Mr. Harris' conclusion isn't in sync 100% with Albert Einstein's prediction (a day after the Deir Yassin massacre) when he predicted that Zionists would bring a Nakba upon Jews? Let us hope Mr. Harris won't get canceled for telling the truth to the powerful.

    If you have three minutes, we urge you to watch this brave Canadian Jew reporting on how Israeli colonial settlers were paying trolls to foment Jewish hate, which later could be exploited politically. That is what happens when real antisemitism is at an all-time low; therefore, the statistics had to be pumped up! ADL feeds off this garbage; for some people, this is an industry:
    

    Back To Haavara FAQs
38. Twelve Thousand Palestinians were recruited to fight with the British army during WWII. Unlike some imposters, many of those Arabs saw action in North Africa!

    How could Zionists execute pro-Hitler policies when it was them who sent tens of thousands to fight Nazis during WWII?
    
    We do recognize that over 35,000 of the Yishuv (Zionist "pioneers" who lived in pre-Nakba Palestine) enlisted in the British Army during WWII (Fawzi Abu-Diab cited 45,340 and the Jewish Agency reported 135,000 yishuv signed up with the British Army). On the other hand, what is the point of citing such a heroic figure when only 5,000 of those were deployed, and a few of those who were deployed saw a little action at the war's end?
    
    When Zionist and Israeli sources were examined, we quickly found how Zionist leaders had ZERO motives and willingness to fight the Nazis! Basically, Zionist leaders' motivation was to enlist as many as of the yishuv as possible in the British army to gain military experience and to prepare them for the real fight, a few years later, against the Arabs (The Seventh Million, p. 83-4, p. 113).

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    Thus, we are forced to ask: why did only a few of the yishuv see little action when many of them fought the British soon after the White Paper of 1939? Did the yishuv see the British and the Arabs as enemies but not the Nazis? Well, here is a clue from the Israeli historian, Tom Segev, who directly cited David Ben-Gurion (the founding father of the "Jewish state") from the Zionist archives:

    Ben-Gurion’s response to the new policy was his famous statement that “We shall fight with Great Britain in this war as if there were no White Paper, and we shall fight the White Paper as if there were no war.”[ As we shall see later, Zionists quickly recognized that these were conflicting priorities and Hitler and the White Paper cannot be fought at once; and they had to drop fighting Hitler. As Rabbi Wise put it: there isn't enough bandwidth to fight both. Also, keep in mind the JA offices were closed in Berlin as late as May of 1941 and Haavara was shut down late 1941. All of this implies that rescuing Jews took a back seat if any] He --assumed correctly-- that the British would allow the Jews of Palestine to serve in the British military, experience that would eventually help the Zionist movement found its own fighting force, the nucleus of the future Israeli army.

    Fake Valor: Jewish-Brigade, Italy April - 1945: The Impostering Hero, see me while I bomb Nazis ONLY a few weeks before WWII ended. We wonder: were any similar selfies taken at the al-Alamein meat grinder?

    One of the participants in that closed debate advocated sending units of this "Jewish army" to reinforce the French front. Ben-Gurion hastened to caution him not to repeat his proposal in public. The Jewish people wished to see the victory of England and the defeat of Hitler; he agreed, and every Jew was obligated to do whatever he could to bring down the Nazi regime. But the yishuv would not benefit from having battalions on the French front. The task of the "Jewish army" was to strengthen the yishuv, a necessary step toward national independence. "Every [Jewish] soldier is a future member of the Jewish army," Moshe Sharett said. Enlistment in the British army was thus presented from the start as a service to the nation, similar to membership in the Haganah, the Palmach, and the other military organizations that preceded the establishment of the Israeli army. The newspapers were full of notices calling for people to volunteer for war duty. By the end of the war, some thirty thousand had done so.

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    The Jewish Legion, which fought as part of the fine British army in the last stages of the First World War, had won the Zionist Movement some standing in the peace talks after the war. So in the Second World War, the leaders of the yishuv made a great effort to convince the British to establish a Jewish Brigade. The goal was to win the yishuv recognition as a belligerent, thus ensuring the Zionist movement a role in the shaping of postwar Europe. The British, understanding the political motives behind the proposal, rejected it. Only during the last months of the war was the Jewish Brigade set up. It consisted of five thousand men with their own banner and insignia: a yellow Star of David, a symbol fight against the yellow star that the Nazis forced the Jews to wear [although 11 years earlier the same Zionists welcomed being forced to wear the yellow star of David with a slogan: Wear it With Pride!]. The brigade had time only to hear the war's last shots. During the weeks preceding the surrender, it saw some action in northern Italy. Some of these soldiers remained in Europe after the war as Zionist representatives among the Jewish refugees. Many later served in the Israeli Forces, some in senior command positions. (The Seventh Million, p. 83-4, 86-89)

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    On June 20th, 1944, David Ben-Gurion made it clear what was front and center to the Zionist movement. Let us find out: wasn't it saving Europe's Jews, or defeating the Arabs?

    "Ben-Gurion proposed that the Zionist movement commit itself bringing in "immediately" a million Jews [ONLY to Palestine], double the number of Jews then in Palestine: "[Another] million Jews -- [and] the conflict with the Arabs will be over" he declared. (The Seventh Million, p. 113)
    
    [How Ben-Gurion last statement (written at the height of the calamity) doesn't paint a vivid picture of the LEVER that he often spoke of a decade or so earlier?
    
    It should be noted that Zionists' terror gangs (Lehi, Stern, and the Irgun) continued bombing WWII war efforts even while their family members were being gassed in Poland! Allow that to sink in for a minute and reflect!

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    Shamelessly, many Jewish so-called "historians" frame Zionist Jews' earlier fake valor as an "insurgency" against an occupying power to their "land," which they don't own to begin with. YES, Zionist Jews made an "insurgency" during WWII, not against the Nazis who were murdering their families in Europe by the millions, but rather against the British who were protecting them from the Nazis' march from North Africa. Just imagine how this fake valor is being marketed in Israel as heroism! For example, here is how the renowned big Zionist Israeli historian, Benny Morris, framed Zionist Jews' fake valor in the Righteous Victims, p. 176. Hang on to your seat; you are about to read a massive dose of Israeli Hasbarah!

    To give the reader the Zionist perspective, we have decided to investigate Zionists' primary sources (that were published in 1946, after WWII ended) to understand why the Jewish Agency was dragging its feet not to fight the Nazis to the bitter end. Much to our surprise, the Jewish Agency admitted that the major point of contentions was that they insisted that the Jewish Brigade to be deployed as a separate fighting unit (which must exclude Palestinian Arabs), with its command structure, deployed under its flags (which was banned along with the Zionist national anthem; ironically the Nazis didn't ban those), and wearing its official emblem. WoW, it seems they forgot to demand French fries with their orders; too bad!

    Yad Vashem Honors Fake Valor: The Impostering Heroes are being recognized but the Palestinians (who actually saw action fighting the Nazis at the meat grinder in North Africa) have been denigrated!

    What was tragically funny was that the British were reluctant to do such a thing because it would endanger Jews (Lenni Brenner cited this point in one of his videos on this subject), PLUS it seems that the allies were very concerned that whole Middle East would rise in revolt if and when a Jewish Army was armed and assembled (keep in mind that the memories of the Great Arab Revolt of 1936, which bled GB, were still fresh). Actually, Zionist agitation (in the 2nd half of 1943) was so reckless and dangerous to the war efforts (in Palestine, Egypt, and the US) to the point that it prompted the British and the Americans to contemplate walking away from Zionism by reversing the Balfour Declaration in July 1943 (see what Peter Grose wrote on this little known subject, p. 178-9). Anyhow, the deployment of the Jewish Brigade happened way late in the game (see Jewish Agency's memorandum for 1946, p. 45 & 46).
    
    It is worth pointing that Moshe Dayan (one of the most decorated Israeli generals) resigned from the Jewish Brigade over this particular issue (see Dina Porat p. 223 to 228) and he refused to be commanded by British officers. Ironically, it was Mr. Dayan (along with Yigal Allon and Yitzhak Sadeh) who had no problem being commanded by the British just a few years earlier when he served in the British Night Squads while fighting Palestinians during the Great Arab Revolt of 1936! To add more salt to the injury, when the Polish Anders Army made it to Palestine to fight the Nazis, many of the Zionist Polish Jews (mostly made up of Revisionists; Menachem Begin was one of them) opted to fight the British and deserted the Polish Army! YES, ladies and gentlemen, during the greatest moment in Jewish history, fighting the Nazis in North Africa and Italy was left for the Gentiles! Jewish historians and intellectuals still paint these events as if they were pure valor when they were the exact opposite.

    In light of these facts, we are forced to ask:
    From the Zionist Jews' point of view, who was the enemy? Were they the Arabs or the Nazis who were gassing their families in Central & Eastern Europe?
    How such a decision-making process didn't end up harming more Jews!
    Keep in mind that two of Israel's future PMs (Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir) bombed WWII war efforts when Palestinians CEASED fighting British colonialism during WWII. As you process this fake valor, please remember this happened while Begin's and Shamir's families were being gassed in Poland!

    Why did Great Britain indict two of Israel's future PMs on charges of terrorism? Those evil British must have been "Jew-hating" antisemites!

    We do recognize that hundreds of thousands of Jews fought the Nazis during WWII (including many of the yishuv, see the Palestine Regiment) as active soldiers in Allies' armies without preconditioning their service whatsoever. Note that those Jews who served in the Palestine Regiment were not commended by the Jewish Agency whatsoever and in total amounted to several thousand, no more. Ironically, it was Chaim Weizmann's son who was killed in Feb. 1942 while defending his country, Great Britain, part of the British RAF! But why? Because defeating Nazism was front and center on their minds. On the other hand, that wasn't the case for the Zionist leadership at the time. To put it simply, Zionists' enemy was never the Nazis; their enemy was the Arabs. That is what consumed Zionists to the bone all along until this date! Let that sink in for a minute and think!

    Fake Valor: Why did Lehi (a.k.a. the Stern Gang) ask Nazis for an alliance against GB in Jan. & Dec. of 1941?

    Some may find it relevant to know that Yad Vashem was one of the first to lobby against publishing Raul Hilberg's seminal work (in The Destruction of the European Jews), and one of the reasons cited was that Mr. Hilberg marginalized "Jewish resistance". Sweet lord, meaning Yad Vashem wanted him to create alternative facts that fit their Zionist narrative. Some old habits die hard in some circles! Censorship, censorship, and even more censorship!

    Anyhow, when the Irgunists in the US (a.k.a. the Bergson Groups) attempted to mobilize the public and the Jewish community to fight Hitler between 1941-43, you would think Ben-Gurion and Co. gave them a big helping hand? Well, you cannot be further from the truth. To discredit the Bergson Groups, Rabbi Stephen Wise and his Zionist buddies were quick to point out that those Irgunists were neo-fascists (which was true) and the collected funds would be stolen. Also they lobbied the US government to financial audit the group by the IRS and to draft their leaders into the US army (see Wikipedia for boring details). Although Rabbi Wise and his cohorts provided zero evidence about the Bergson Groups, what was funny is that it was Wise's buddies in Palestine who diverted much of what was collected away from rescuing Jews! It seems they were terrified that the Irgunists' plans could divert donations and other resources from building their future state (Aaron Berman, p. 130-31 & 118-123). How such policies and actions didn't harm more Jews!

    NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis was left to the Gentiles so they could focus on defeating the White Paper.

    On a different note, while we were researching Zionist leaders' responded to possible Nazi occupation of Palestine (advancing from North Africa), we were shocked to discover that the so-called yishuv cooperated only once with the British on military matters (spoiler alert; it was short-lived and the timing coincided when all knew that the Holocaust officially was underway). And when the danger abated (when Rommel was defeated at el Alamein in late Oct. 1942), the so-called yishuv broke off the cooperation with the British. To our surprise, the Jewish Agency Executive even contemplated confronting the British military (as Etzel was proposing) during the war (which they did after the White Paper was published in May 1939, and it was halted when the Nazis invaded Poland four months later). Anyhow, JAE rejected such a thing during the war (Dina Porat worded it in a way to imply that it was a close vote, p. 50).

    JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    What was tragically funny was that Zionist leaders argued both sides of the argument based on the same facts in front of them. For example, to get the British to arm the Yishuv, they highlighted the possibility of a Jewish genocide (if and when Rommel could make it to Palestine) as early as April 1942 (see how Walter Laqueur in The Terrible Secret cited Moshe Shertok on p. 187-88). On the other hand, at the same time, Zionist leaders downplayed the calamity in the press (Lenni Brenner phrased this point much better than we did). This fact alone should give the reader a clue to what was front and center on Zionist leaders' minds at the height of the calamity. Simply, fighting the Nazis consumed Zionists for only a few weeks. In the following few paragraphs, you shall discover what consumed Zionists' total energy, not only during the calamity but after it was over, too.

    To add more salt to the wound, we found that Zionists (along with their Christian Zionist friends) were busy trying to get the US Congress to adopt a pro-Zionist Bill, which could've undermined the war effort. Not for the intervention of the War Departments (in both the US and Great Britain), the whole Middle East could've erupted when the war effort needed Arabs' support the most (Aaron Berman, p. 136-37). Actually, Zionist agitation (in the 2nd half of 1943) was so reckless to the war efforts to the point that it prompted the British and the Americans to contemplate walking away from Zionism by reversing the Balfour Declaration in July 1943 (see what Peter Grose wrote on this little known subject, p. 178-9).
    
    If you made it here and you still have more time on your hands, we urge you to read what Melissa Hibbard wrote in her dissertation thesis. She researched the Jewish Brigade to the teeth. You might lose your mind once you read it; you have been warned.

    What about the Parachutists who were dropped behind enemy lines in Yugoslavia?

    
    Why most Kapos were Zionist activists? Click the picture for the details.

    When Zionists are reminded that their contributions and actions against Hitler were mediocre at best, they deflect by reminding us how small and weak the yishuv were during WWII. Zionists are quick to remind us of those 32 parachutists who were dropped behind enemy lines to "rescue Jews." After investigating parachutists' stories, we discovered they were sent primarily to direct Europe's Jews to immigrate to Palestine rather than to the Americas (see M. Hibbard's thesis, p. 31, 32, & 33). Most importantly, their numbers were reduced from a whooping 1,000 to 32, who saw almost no action and accepted the British command structure grudgingly (as we pointed out earlier, Moshe Dayan resigned over this issue although he was commanded by the British four years earlier part of the Night Squads fighting Palestinians during the Great Arab Revolt of 1936); see Dina Porat p. 223-28 -- pay attention for the open questions she laid out at the end of p. 228). On the other hand, those same yishuv deployed more than twenty times as much (90k, plus 35k reservists) just two and a half years later during the War of Nakba! (see the Jerusalem Post) Just imagine if those same so-called yishuv witnessed little real action (in defense of Jewish lives and honors) at the meat grinders on the Italian, Ukrainian, Tunisian, and Libyan fronts! Would Israel exist by now? Does that explain why news of the calamity was downplayed? Well, more on that soon.

    Times Of Israel: Lebensraum is needed for Israel

    To give a different perspective on this topic, we ask you to contemplate what Prof. Yehuda Baur and Beit-Zvi wrote, then you will recognize that our framing of the events was not far from what happened:

    Summing up the affair of the Jewish parachutists sent to Europe toward the end of the war, Prof. Yehuda Bauer writes:

    Anyone examining the history of the Jewish parachutists cannot escape the impression that, in general, the project did not win the hoped-for success. Most of the operatives were captured by the enemy. Seven fell. And many of them did not see any action at all until the Russian takeover or later. The big plans --organization of an anti-Nazi Jewish underground, prevention of the extermination of Jews, active war against the German conqueror-- were never carried out, mainly because of the tiny number of operatives and their late arrival... The chief positive results were, apparently, the consummate heroism of the individuals involved, Zionist activities in Rumania and Bulgaria after the Soviet conquest, the few military actions to which we have alluded--and that is all. Is that really all?
    The entire operation was elevated to the level of a symbol. Tales were woven about the legendary few who risked their lives for the Jews of the Diaspora. The legend entered a generation’s consciousness. It became a powerful national educational force.

    Catastrophic Zionism at its worst: Zionists often spoke of the Holocaust decades before its time. What did Zionists do to confront it? Zionists were the FIRST to normalize trade with the Nazis!

    We agree with this reliable summation, with the exception of one point. We do not think that the parachutists’ minimal impact was due to their small number or their late arrival. On the contrary, it seems to us that if more parachutists had been dispatched at an earlier stage, when the Russian front was still distant, the failure might have assumed catastrophic dimensions-- to judge by the number of victims among the emissaries, and the pogroms liable to have been perpetrated against the Jews in the countries involved.
    
    A review of the parachutists’ activity brings home the scope of the operation’s failure. Nowhere did they succeed in fulfilling their primary mission: to organize armed resistance against the Nazis. (Beit-Zvi, p. 320)

    Beit-Zvi ended the chapter with a chilling citation from Ben-Gurion on page 322-23, but hang on to your seat first:

    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in "empty" Palestine

    At the conclusion of a long talk with the candidates for parachuting into Europe, after hearing from them plans of all stripes, Ben-Gurion summed up his conception:

    “At the end of this war we have to establish the Jewish state. The British government has closed the gate on us, and by ourselves we do not have the strength to open it from the inside. We need the Jewish people to knock on the gates of the country from the outside. You must prepare Jews wherever they are. On the day after the victory, all roads in Europe, all the railway lines and all the rivers will witness a vast stream of Jews moving toward Eretz-Israel. Remember: this is your task.” (Emphases added.)

    That task was carried out brilliantly. Taking part in it were emissaries who went to liberated Europe, among them some of the surviving parachutists. A new period was launched of extricating the Jewish remnants and getting them to Eretz-Israel by every possible means. This mission saw manifestations of loyalty, self-sacrifice, and infinite devotion. This dazzling period in the annals of Zionism cast into the shadows the mistakes and blunders of the recent past, which were expunged from memory as though they had never occurred. (Beit-Zvi, p. 322-23)

    In this regard, we wish to emphasize to the readers that after the WWII ended, the mass majority of of Europe's Jews voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles (although Palestine was emptied of its people). Meaning, Jews didn't knock on the "Jewish state" doors unless they were forced to do so. That explains why Arab Jews had to be nudged (in practice, they were terrorized) into doing aliyah to fill in the void that was created due to Nakba! The same thing could be said about the affluent American Jewish community, although almost every other one of them visited occupied Palestine at least once, but under 1% of them made it their home with a foot in NY City and another in Tel Aviv (mostly made up of retirees).

    You would not think Zionists stole the heroism at the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising?

    Jews from the Warsaw ghetto are marched through the ghetto during deportation. Warsaw, Poland, 1942-1943
    God forbid, Zionists can not sink this low, or could they? What was truly sickening how those who promoted non-confrontational and appeasing policies towards European antisemites (as it was architected first by Theodor Herzl early on which continues to this date), all of a sudden Zionists have become the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising heroes! YES, the same impostering heroes (who avoided fighting the Nazis to the last minute) not only hijacked and smothered somebody else's sacrifices and heroism during WWII (as we've shown earlier), but most importantly, the memories of those heroes were not translated into Hebrew and couldn't find a publisher in Israel until 2001 (Abraham Burg, p. 100-101, 102-103).
    
    Hannah Arendt, 1933

    What was tragically funny was that as the uprising was in progress in April 1943, Zionists used to delete rival groups' fighter names from the news to boost the names of the fighters from their respective parties! Yes, the Zionist Ministry of Truth used to edit news of the uprising in real time! This single fact alone explains why the events of the uprising were translated only lately. This fact also explains why the current Zionist narrative of the uprising is so dominant among Jews! For the love of God, as if anything has changed in the last eighty-plus years (see Dina Porat's book, p. 122-23)! Beit-Zvi confirmed what Ms. Porat cited, but according to him, it was done on a massive scale. Almost every story in the Zionist narrative about the uprising has been grounded in censorship and omission, which casts doubt on the whole story. Anyhow, here is how he framed it:

    UN Map: It was updated in August 1950 showing that Palestinians STILL own 94% of the lands

    This meager productivity should, we believe, be viewed in conjunction with two other phenomena that at first glance seem surprising but in fact have strong roots in the reality we have been describing. We refer to censorship and boycott of undesirable information and ideas. These two forms of silencing others have their origins in the war of accounts, outlooks, and political parties. Lightly felt at the start, they became increasingly heavy-handed, to the point where they are now very weighty indeed.
    
    Initially there were internal matters, "within the family," so to speak, when party or movement leaders abrogated to themselves the right to “correct” or annul, for party reasons, reports arriving from their colleagues in the countries of the Holocaust. Later, when the diaries of haverim who had perished began to be published, the editors thought they had the right to delete certain passages. When memoirs or writings of adversaries were published, such as Rabbi [Michael Dov-Ber] Weissmandel’s From the Depths, they were boycotted by being suppressed. And for a long time, the establishment succeeded in blocking altogether the publication of several important works that were liable to undercut the official "line." (Beit-Zvi, p. 331-32)

    Well, well, guess what? The same sickening behavior happened to Hannah Arendt (who was one of the touring intellectual figures in the 20th century) after she exposed how the Kapo phenomenon was critical in greasing Nazis' killing machine (see "Eichmann in Jerusalem", Chapter VII - p. 153-178). We wonder why the brave were boycotted and Kapos got a free pass! YES, the same group of people who refused to boycott the Nazis boycotted Hannah Arendt! We hate to keep boring you, but guess again to whom this nonsense was done to? The Auschwitz Protocols, which was translated almost immediately into every language you could imagine in 1944, except for Hebrew (some habits die hard; see Ruth Linn's book review at Amazon for details). If you have time, we urge you to read Beit-Zvi's work in Chapter 14 (especially between pages 331-338), he cited not less than eight to ten major primary sources that were completely censored. Rewriting history is a major industry in most Jewish circles (a.k.a. Hasbarah); the truth has no market in such circles. Trust us on this one; this is not funny at all.

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    What was tragically comical was that it was Zionist leaders who instructed their followers (in Nazi-occupied areas, i.e., Frumka Plotnicka, Zivia Lubetkin, and Adam Czerniakow) not to resist the Nazis and to leave immediately for Palestine, and looked down upon those who practiced the "Masada mentality" (Dina Porat, 241-43). What was funny that many of the same Zionist leaders wanted to fight for the last man although the enemy is the same when Rommel was at their doorsteps between 1941 and end of 1942 (see Dina Porat, p. 32). If the Nazis were the enemy, what difference does it make where to fight them! When Jews read these facts, they often act shocked; they shouldn't.

    This kind of Fake Valor is embedded in Zionism; most (if not all) of the Zionist narrative is grounded in fiction, that is their bread and butter: lie, lie, and more lies. Think about it logically from yishuv's point of view (especially during WWII and before the state was created): Why should the yishuv sacrifice Zionists' blood and treasure in defense of the Jews in Poland, Ukraine, Russia, France, ..etc. when the "Land of Israel" needs them? Zionist Jews "begged" Europe's Jews to do yishuv and refused, thus who is to blame? From Zionist leaders' point of view, any sacrifices (against the Nazis in defense of Jewish honor) were complete nonsense unless, of course, it was in Palestine. This was the dominant point of you among Zionists at the time and it is all over the place when you examine Zionists records. Actually, this will become clearer once you examine how much Zionists spent on rescuing Jews vs. what was collected from donations!

    Just in case you think our interpretations are pure anti-Zionist propaganda, please don't take our word for it. Here it is from the former speaker of the Israeli Knesset Abraham Burg, describing what Israelis are taught in Israel's school system (a.k.a. Hasbarah or the Israelis' brainwashing machine to themselves and others):

    Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together

    The heroism is ours, of the Israelis and the Shoah is their, of the Diaspora Jews. They are from Auschwitz, and we are from Warsaw.
    
    Following the Shoah, Zionism became the movement of the wining majority. All the other Jewish ideological movements were destroyed by Nazis or silenced forever behind the walls of the Soviet bloc. Only the Zionist movement remained free, outside in the West. By then it had the tools of a state-in-waiting [of course, thanks to Haavara]. All its resources and skills were harnessed to erect and build the foundations of the state. And not least of all: it invented and aggrandized myths and legends and misrepresented them. Shamelessly. The end was holy and the means justified [ . . . ]
    
    Thus the rebels who did not fit the Zionist stereotype were deleted from the private and collectives memory. We were not taught, for example, that the [Warsaw] uprising was in overseen by an umbrella organization that included everyone who was in the ghetto, all the Jewish political parties, many of whom were socialist Bundist and anti-Zionist Communists. They hid from us that the uprising would have been possible without the support of the community’s institutions, leaders, the non-Zionist Jewish Joint Relief organization [JDC better know as The Joint] and even the non-Jewish Polish underground. The role of these organizations were concealed and silenced. Literature by the non-Zionist Jewish partners in the rebellion was not translated into Hebrew. (Abraham Burg, p. 100-101, 102-103)
    
    [It is worth point out that the Jewish Agency Executives grudgingly approved public protest and a petition in support of the uprising as it was happening between April and May of 1943, see Dina Porat, p. 58]

    

    The myths that were created about the uprising were immense. Once you learn the scale of the revolt and how many were involved in it; then you will understand that there was no revolt. We don't want to diminish the sacrifices, but the lies that were created about the uprising makes the reader doubt anything that was written about it. That is the problem with liars: when they tell the truth; people won't believe them. Here is how Beit-Zvi's account of the uprising and you be the judge:

    The description thus far indicates that the active uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto lasted two or three days. As for the subsequent events, they can be subsumed under the term commonly used by the spokesmen for the Holocaust history establishment: “defense of bunkers.” But as we explained, the bunkers were no more than hiding places and they were not fortified. To reach them, the enemy had no need to overcome obstacles, only to discover their location. And once discovered, the bunkers were doomed.
    
    As we pointed out, the great publicity surrounding the revolt was in large measure the result of the optical illusion that enabled the blurring of the boundaries between the Germans’ liquidation operation in the ghetto, and the Jews’ uprising. This blurring was not a spontaneous act and was not effected at the time of the events by the insurgents and their colleagues, who in any case did not think in terms of a “revolt” but took a more modest view of their actions. All the versions of Anielewicz’s letter speak of “Jewish defense,” not a revolt. Nor was a revolt mentioned in Zuckerman’s 1944 survey, later published verbatim in Neustadt’s book. Batya Temkin-Berman, who wrote her diary on the “Aryan” side of Warsaw, calls the events of April-May “the third extermination operation,” or “the third Aktion;” she reserves the word “revolt” for the Polish uprising in Warsaw in August 1944. (Beit-Zvi, p. 346-47)
    
    [If you care about the boring details, start from page 339. Beit-Zvi will give a rough estimate of how many fighters were involved, the arms, ammunition, and from which groups. Spoiler alert: the revolt lasted for 3 to 4 days, and between 200 to 300 fighter were involved. Anyhow, make sure to read about the flag that was never cited!]

    To prove how dishonest, sick, and demented the so-called intellectual community in Israel (a.k.a. the Land of Kapos), Moshe Arens (one of the leading figures in the Israeli Likud party) lobbied Israeli universities so one of them award an honorary doctorate in recognition of Marek Edelman's role in the Warsaw ghetto uprising; not even one university accepted. On top of that, it was the Holocaust so-called historians who stubbornly obstructed such a proposal (Haaretz, Oct 4, 2009 & at the NY Times, Apr 19, 2013).

    
    Who is the worst Kapo: Chaim Rumkowski Vs. David Ben-Gurion?

    Do you understand now why Kapos walked free in Israel, and those who exposed them got prosecuted?
    Do you understand how the Gentiles in France and Poland (who are often described as antisemites by Holocaust historians) honored Edelman with their highest honors, but the Land of Kapos refused to publish a translated version of his memoirs?
    Do you understand why no Holocaust historian ever condemned Ben-Gurion for his blatant antisemitic hate speech a month after Kristallnacht?
    Does this explain why none of those so-called historians came to aid Arendt when Zionists' dogs chewed her in the early 1960s when she exposed the Kapo files?

    Just in case you think these shenanigans were limited to Zionists in Ben-Gurion's party (MAPAI) and the Revisionists in the opposition were any better. Well, we hate to disappoint you. During WWII, not only did some of those Revisionists reach out to Hitler for alliance as late as Dec. 1941, but they also sabotaged allies' war efforts during the war (while their families were being gassed in Poland); here is the complete list! They possed a threat to most Zionists to a point Ben-Gurion was forced to hand Yitzhak Shamir & Co. to the British, and during the war of Nakba, Ben-Gurion almost killed Menachem Begin!

    Lining up in front of the Palestine and Orient Lloyd travel agency Meinekestra? January 22nd, 1939

    Why did Zionist leaders suppress news of the Holocaust?

    Here is the unvarnished truth: Ben-Gurion & Co. played it safe and didn't want to risk it all. From Zionists' point of view:
    
    Why bring attention to the genocide in progress which might divert resources from building their "Jewish state"?
    Why bring attention to Jewish plight which would force nations to rescue Jews to safe havens other than Palestine?
    Think about it: What is the need for a "Jewish state" when Jews could be saved somewhere else?
    "God forbid," if such havens for the Jews could exist; that would render the whole Zionist project mute, right? This is so true even to this date!
    In other words, what is in it for Zionists to win the battle (rescuing European Jewry) and lose the war (risking building their "Jewish state")? That would be like asking Zionism to commit suicide in favor of saving European Jewry!

    BINGO, that is why Zionist leaders were keen not to waste their blood and treasure" in side battles (such as defeating Hitler, which actually saved lives). That is precisely why Zionists suppressed and played down the calamity in the Zionist and American press. (Abraham Burg, p. 74; more details later from Dina Porat, Beit-Zvi, and from ChatGPT) Why inflame public opinion that would force them to endanger the so-called yishuv in some meaningless side battles that were not theirs to begin with? Why enrage public opinion who could force them to allocate resources from their budgets to rescue Europe's Jews? Why should Zionist leaders endanger the yishuv when chances of surviving the Holocaust were minimal? Wasn't the yishuv who begged Europe's Jews to make aliyah to Palestine and it was them who refused? Thus, from Zionists' points of view it was much better to play it safe by lowering the risks and maximizing their rewards. As you shall discover soon, Zionists' in action were implementing Catastrophic Zionism.

    
    Arrival of a Kindertransport, Feb.-Jan., 1939: How did Zionist leaders respond when British people rescued 10,000 German Jewish children after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

    The Evidence

    In this regard, it's worth citing Ben-Gurion's biographer, Dan Kurzman, in Ben-Gurion: Prophet of Fire (1983). In preparation for the Evian Conference in the summer of 1938, here is Ben-Gurion instructing those around him (inclusive of the yishuv's media) to be quiet about Jewish persecution, but for the love of God, why? Well, keep reading the following few paragraphs to find out why! Hands down, Zionists are the masters of propaganda and manipulating the narratives. Suppressing and downplaying the news of Jewish persecution, as you see below, was the canary in the coal mine. What you see below was implemented at a large scale during the Holocaust not only in Palestine, but in the US as well:

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    The Jews could have only one destination - Eretz Yisrael. So in June 1938, shortly before Allied representatives met in Evian, France, to seek ways of rescuing Jews, Ben-Gurion frankly voiced his concern to colleagues in the Jewish Agency Executive. He did "not know if the [ Evian] conference will open the gates of other countries [Oh, God forbid]. . . . But I am afraid [ it ] might cause tremendous harm to Eretz Yisrael and Zionism . . . . Our main task is to reduce the harm, the danger and the disaster [Ben-Gurion was referring to harming the yishuv; he was not referring to harming diaspora Jews; the was the LEVER] . . . and the more we emphasize the terrible distress of the Jewish masses in Germany, Poland and Rumania, the more damage we shall cause ." So be silent, Ben-Gurion cautioned his comrades. . . . And in the silence . . . Evian [Conference] failed. (see NY Times -- June 12th, 1987)

    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!

    In layman's terms, Ben-Gurion was very worried that emphasizing Jewish persecution would alarm the media and the public to a point that might force countries (like France and others) to open their gates (God forbid); thus harming the so-called yishuv in the process. YES, you read it correctly. Rescuing Jews in France and other countries was harmful for the yishuv, therefore, be quiet about it else Zionism would be doomed. Now, do you understand why the word rescue to Zionists had negative connotations during the 1930s and 40s? To Zionists, rescuing Jews implied a disaster (using Ben-Gurion's terminology) to Zionism! Now allow that to sink in for a minute, and ask yourself: how come 7/8th of the rescue budget was diverted? The answer is simple: that was good for Zionism! Another question: when antisemitism was not great for Zionism? The answer is simple again: never!

    To give the reader a better picture of how Zionist leaders went out of their way to suppress the news of the calamity from day one, we feeling obliged to share Beit-Zvi's description. This what he wrote with regards to suppressing the news concerning the last batch that went to Auschwitz; he had more to say about 1942 and 43:

    From experience and by trial and error, Zionist leadership inferred that proposing non-Zionist solutions to the European Jewish refugees' problem would negatively impact their political and financial bottom lines! Thus, Zionist leaders deliberately hoarded and starved rescue funds, unless Jewish refugees' destination was ONLY Palestine.

    The time had come to derive some benefit from the functioning of the Jewish Agency mission in Istanbul as an observation point toward the Nazis’ kingdom in Europe. Both logic and the bitter lesson of the suppression of the facts two years earlier should have taught the mission’s dispatchers in Jerusalem what to do with the vital information they now received: in the first place and without delay, to proclaim it to the world. The report about the incarceration of Hungary’s Jews in ghettos and the start of their transport to Auschwitz should have been disseminated to every place where there was willingness to help--to public opinion and to the organizations concerned. Clear knowledge of what was afoot would have enabled help to be enlisted at an early stage. Since it was the Hungarian authorities who were given the task of establishing the ghettos and carrying out the deportations (under the command of a few Nazi officers), it is possible that if strong pressure, similar to that wielded in early July, had been exerted on the Horthy government 50 days earlier, it might have achieved a halt to the deportations and perhaps even the dismantling of the ghettos. The Rescue Committee in Jerusalem and the Jewish Agency Executive did the opposite of what was needed. They devoted most of their time to dealing with Eichmann’s offer. Ben-Gurion and Sharett held two meetings on the subject with the British High Commissioner in Jerusalem. Weizmann met with the British foreign secretary. Sharett went to Aleppo, Cairo and London. All this activity to further a matter which had absolutely no chance of being realized. And together with the secret of the deal itself they preserved completely the secret of the transports to annihilation.

    
    Israel Honored Hitler's Lover Boy (Avraham Stern) By Placing His Portrait On Stamp

    The suppression of March-November 1942 was repeated in May-June 1944 in a shortened version in terms of time and scope, but with consequences every bit as serious. At the time, in 1942, the Zionist movement disregarded reports about the Holocaust that flowed in from various sources. Now the Jewish Agency Executive concealed from the world reliable reports in its possession concerning the destruction of Hungarian Jewry. On May 25 Vanya Pomerantz, a member of the Istanbul mission, informed the Jewish Agency Executive in Jerusalem that beginning the following week 12,000 Jews would be deported to Poland every day (in fact, the deportations had begun ten days earlier). On June 11 Gruenbaum informed his Jewish Agency colleagues that 12,000 people a day were being transported to death camps in Poland and were murdered immediately upon their arrival. On June 18 he noted that the deportations were continuing incessantly. But the public and the world were told nothing.
    
    Ben-Gurion summed up the Executive meeting with Vanya Pomerantz in the following words: “We ask the haverim, and Mr. Pomerantz especially, to keep these things absolutely secret and not to talk to anyone about them.” He surely meant that the deal with the Nazis should be kept secret. But somehow the secrecy about the deportations was linked to the secrecy about the deal. Inadvertently, Eichmann’s ploy scored a major achievement: in its desire not to interfere in the negotiations, the opposing side disastrously refrained from revealing the secret of his operation.

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but at a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    The exceptional stand of Yitzhak Gruenbaum deserves special mention. Unlike his colleagues on the Jewish Agency Executive, he viewed the Eichmann proposal as a “satanic provocation” from the first. He argued several times that by the time the negotiations with the different governments were concluded, “there will be no more Jews in Hungary to save.” But he did not think of taking the simple action that was required: to break the silence surrounding the extermination operation which was known to him and a dozen of his colleagues.
    
    A perusal of the Yishuv press in this 50-day period shows, among other points, how closely the secret of the annihilation was guarded. The papers do not reveal the death transports of Hungarian Jewry, just as two years earlier they had not revealed the destruction of Polish Jewry. This time, however, all the signs indicate that the editors and reporters were not to blame. In contrast to 1942, the source of the reliable information was in Jerusalem-- under heavy lock. (Beit-Zvi, page 316-317)

    Which hate speech was worse: Hitler's hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939, or Ben-Gurion's speech (just two months before Hitler's speech) when he incited the murder of German Jews a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom?

    [For more details on this subject, contemplate reading the rest of what Beit-Zvi wrote on pages 317 and 318 to see how the yishuv's newspapers (especially mainstream ones such as Davar and Ha'aretz) were passive at best. As he pointed out earlier, the same game was played out in 1942. In detail, he covered it in Chapter 3. It seems there was a gag order as of December 1942, which Peter Bergson alluded to in an interview in the late 1970s. Pay attention to David Zakai's "In Brief" column in Davar, which was the last to be written on this matter on Dec. 3rd, 1942. Yitzhak Gruenbaum (the notorious antisemite who was responsible for the so-called "Rescue Committee") wrote an infamous reply on Dec. 7th, 1942 to Mr. Zakai's article. Soon after their spat, the gag order took effect. A few months later, in the States, Hayim Greenberg (of the Jewish Frontier) wrote a couple of critical articles trying to draw people's attention to Jews' plight in Europe. The same thing happened to him; he went silent soon after. To get another perspective on this topic, please read Walter Laqueur's citation of Moshe Shertok. Zionist leaders (especially all those in JAE) knew of the mass killing as early as April 1942, and they maintained a gag order. This was chilling to read.]

    On this topic, we decided to ask Google AI and ChatGPT to see if AI would repeat Zionists' Hasbarah: Why did the Jewish Agency suppress news of the Holocaust during WWII? Pay attention to Google AI's gaslight by omitting critical data that would completely change the framing of events as if it is a complete replica of Zionists' Hasbarah: A) YES, the Jewish Agency was for rescuing Europe's Jews but ONLY to Palestine. Thus, was it rescuing Jews or feeding the inferno, dear AI? B) YES, the Jewish Agency spoke of the Holocaust, but AI didn't say when. For the record, the Jewish Agency spoke of Holocaust ONLY after the Western public (not world Jewry) was outraged after the Auschwitz Protocols were released in late June 1944. Actually, as of June 12^th, 1944, the Jewish Agency was against bombing the death camps and the railroads leading to them. That said; still what Google AI disclosed exposed was very damning: Zionists during WWII promoted anti-Jewish policies to further their Zionist political goal: creating the "Jewish state", and that by itself is the accurate definition of antisemitism. Although ChatGPT initially answered exactly as Google reported, much to our surprise, it changed its mind after little probing. That is how fragile the Zionist narrative. Anyhow, for history's sake, here is our chat if you care for the details.

    As we shall discover soon, Ben-Gurion's LEVER plan before WWII was executed to the teeth during the height of the calamity. Sadly, Zionists' treason continued in the DP camps after WWII ended. During the DP Camp refugee crisis eight years after Evian, Ben-Gurion was known to have said something similar. He was worried that the American people would soften their hearts and open their gates to Jewish refugees, God forbid, of course. (see Israel In The Mind Of America by Peter Grose, p. 210). To many who know Zionists, this is not a surprise; Zionists' treason was and still is an open secret in Jewish communities.

    Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special Gold Medallion in honor of the Nazis' relationship with Zionists! Do you have any ideas why he visited Palestine in 1937?

    To prove what we shared wasn't just an anti-Zionist rant, please watch Peter Bergson for two minutes who witnessed these fateful events first hand speaking of how the Jewish Agency censored the news in Palestine for months, although the calamity was covered minimally in the American press. Pay attention to how these painful events drove him to question his Zionist identity (note his body language and tone of voice; Peter was deeply bitter & angry)! If you are new to this subject, we urge you inspect the section we have dedicated to the Bergson Boys; they were massive in 1943 and 1944 who were instrumental in droving FDR to establish the War Refugee Board in the early 1944, which was fought with tooth and nail by most Zionists. Sadly, their activities have been smothered in the media for almost eight decades (even PBS barely covered them). Much of what Peter said we managed to verify from primary sources as we shall prove after this video clip:
    

    Fake Valor: Why Did Zionist Jews Hoist Nazis Flag on Their Ships in the 1930s?

    If you think about it rationally:
    
    This explains why Ben-Gurion deployed only a few thousand to the front at the war's end, who saw little to no action at war's end.
    
    This explains why Ben-Gurion & Co. allocated zero dollars from their budget and diverted 3/4 of the rescue fund in favor of building their "Jewish state" and urged Zionists in Nazi-occupied territories to leave, not to resist, and to reject the Masada mentality (Dina Porat, 241-43).

     This explains why the Jewish Agency Executive (JAE) rarely discussed or mobilized protests and strikes against Nazi atrocities. And when it happened, always the occurs as reaction to outraged Jewish public (in Palestine and the US) because very little was being done Jewish leaders. Almost always, Zionist leaders dragged their feet to do anything; see the first five to six chapters in Dina Porat's book. Here is the shortlist from Ms. Porat's book:

    American Christian Evangelicals: The Heirs of Father Charles Coughlin

    The JAE first met to discuss Nazi war crimes against Europe's Jews ONLY on November 22nd, 1942 although news of the mass killing was known much earlier (inclusive of the use of of gas chambers which was known as early as Feb. 1942 and confirmed by a Bund report in May 1942, see p. 23, 30, & 38-48, and cited by Yoav Gelber - p. 587); until late Nov. 1942 the situation of Europe's Jews was often the last point on JAE's meetings' agenda (the 19th bullet point & rarely discussed, see p. 28), the so-called United Rescue Committee (a.k.a. The Committee of Four, if it was named the death panel committee that would've been appropriate) met for first time in late 1941 (two years after it was founded) who hoarded much of news coming from Europe and shared very little with the press (p. 23), and when it was expanded and renamed to the Rescue Committee in 1943 it had no budget or authority whatsoever (its wings were clipped, see Chapter 7 especially p. 68-71), the head of the Histadrut (David Remez) knew very little (p. 28) who speculated there was a conspiracy to keep most Jews in the dark, the Jewish public in Palestine relied heavily on international news agency (this was the case during much of the war, see p. 39-40 and especially on p. 43) where the JAE didn't bother to confirm the mass killings (which circulated during much of 1942) until the end of Nov. 1942 (see p. 40), and local papers printed news from Europe with warnings not take them very seriously since they might contain exaggerations (p. 27 & Abraham Burg, p. 74), JAE refrained from asking the allies to bomb the death camps and the railroads to them (that was the case on June 11th, 1944; read the JAE's meeting minutes for more details) but when the Auschwitz Protocols was published (in most languages EXCEPT in Hebrew) JAE reversed its decision on June 19th after the public was enraged (especially by the Gentiles in Switzerland) although the knowledge of death camps and the use of gas chambers were well known to all by mid-1942.
    

    JFK said it BEST in 1939: Palestine Was Hardly Britain's to Give Away
    What has been cited by Ms. Porat and many others confirmed much of what Peter Bergson spoke of earlier. To add more context, we were shocked to discover that the Jewish Agency was anticipating the defeat of the Axis powers in late 1943, therefore, it allocated 10% of its budget to transitioning the yishuv's economy from "war" to peace footing. When we we first read the prior report from JTA, we thought it was joke, YES, JAEs were serious enough to allocated 10% of their 1943 budget for an event that happened two and a half years later! Just in case you are curious, here is how the Jewish Agency spent the unspent portions of its budget during WWII. But first please hang on to your seat!
    
    To prove how serious the Jewish Agency was and most importantly how untethered from reality it was, the JAE started planning for the transportation of million(s) of European Jewish refugees to Palestine as of late 1942 in what is known by the One Million Plan. Once you read the details, you will recognize what Arab Jews were directly airlifted from their homes in a hurry. Well, some people had to fill the void after Nakba!
    Why did the yishuv protest British policies in Palestine during WWII, but there were no such pamphlets for Hitler?

    On the other hand, when the British limited land purchase by Jews in early 1940 (Dina Porat, p. 15), or when the SS Struama sunk in Feb. 1942 and Jewish refugees drowned (after the ship was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine), the yishuv in Palestine quickly organized violent protests and strikes against the British (especially against the High Commissioner who refused to grant those refugees on the SS Struma entry visas to Palestine) and hoisted banners and distributed pamphlets with the slogan: "WANTED FOR MURDER OF 800 REFUGEES" (Dina Porat, 24-25, pay attention to Dina's citations of Aharon Meged & Yehuda Barginsky in mid-1942 on p. 25). Keep in mind that Ben-Gurion & Co. refused to rescue Hungarian Jews two years later (in early 1944) who could've been accepted in Palestine but as refugees; Zionist leaders wanted them to have full rights from day one (see The American Zionist Lobby 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman p. 120-21, 144-45 and The Bergson Boys p. 298 -299). The treason was repeated sooner after on July 2^nd, 1944 by David Ben-Gurion when the War Refugee Board (WRB) suggested shipping some of the same Jews to Libya; Zionists strongly objected.

    A few months later, tens of thousands of those Hungarian Jews were sent to Auschwitz. Of course, there was no protest or wanted pamphlets for those Zionist leaders, especially when it was Haganah's bombs that were used to sink a similar ship just 18 months before the SS Struma was sunk (see Patria disaster; note at the time that Haganah's involvement was kept a secret for two decades, and other patsies took the fall for it — does that sound familiar? — Old tactics died hard). Frankly, we've spent lots of time looking for similar wanted pamphlets by yishuv but for Hitler, and we found none! Let us know in the comments section if you find any!

    We urge you to watch Samual Merlin (of the Bergson Group and The Emergency Committee To Save The Jewish People of Europe) for two minutes: "....Zionists used to say that rescue wasn't our business....", and that confirms what Dina Porat reported on page 92. Note also what Mr. Merlin said in the last 20 seconds, he made reference to Chaim Weizmann's infamous antisemitic speech which shared earlier. By now, you must be aware that the house of Zion is full of antisemitism, therefore, this should not be a surprise. Anyhow, also we found this helpful book by Mr. Merlin which you might find helpful:
    

    Times Of Israel: Lebensraum is needed for Israel

    That said, the so-called heroic yishuv managed to snap a few selfies for propaganda's sake (Zionist Jews often construct a fantasy land just based on memes). Fighting Nazis and defeating fascist forces weren't their fight; that was left for Russian, American, Indian, Muslim, and even ARAB boys to do. Zionist leaders wanted their troops to be fresh and fully prepared to engage THE real enemy: those indigenous Arabs. YES, those "evil" Arabs who were cursed by populating the most important land bridge in human history for centuries. YES, we are referring to the same plot of land that was empty for 2,000 years, which was romantically waiting for Zionist Jews to bloom its deserts. Of course, let's not forget that Ben-Gurion was referring to the same "evil" Arabs who NEVER existed as well. 

    Yad Vashem Honors Fake Valor: The Impostering Heroes are being recognized but the Palestinians (who actually saw action fighting the Nazis at the meat grinder in North Africa) have been denigrated!

    Only in the Zionist mind, such fantastic gaslights could be concocted!
    Only in the Zionist mind, endangering Jewish lives is sold as a rescue!
    Only in the Zionist mind could reality be twisted upside-down like this!
    Only in the Zionist mind could reality be warped to such a degree where murder, cowardness, and treachery are equated with heroism!
    Only in the Zionist mind could Kapos walk free, and the brave were persecuted!
    Only in the Zionist mind could lies be packaged as facts!
    Only in the Zionist mind, the coward becomes a hero!
    
    And if you dare to question Zionists' blatant lies, you quickly become THE Hater, THE antisemite! In this regard, we urge you to watch this anti-Zionist Jew nailing it to Zionists in under 15 seconds; those are the salt of the earth.
    
    Zionism: what a terrible disease of the mind!
    
    For completeness, here are Faris Yahya's and Lenni Brenner's presentations on this subject. Both were among the few to write on this taboo subject and paid dearly for their courage. We hope you will find them informative. Although both are anti-Zionists, their facts were mostly based on Zionist and Israeli publications.

    Back To Haavara FAQs

39. When American Jews gathered in the largest gathering ever to confront Nazi atrocities, did they focus on Palestine? or rescuing Europe’s Jews?
    How did they respond to Bergson Group's campaign to rescue Jews and build a Jewish Army to fight Nazis?

    Brief Introduction

    Fake Valor: When American Rabbis marched in DC in Oct. 1943 to lobby for rescuing Jews, you would think Zionists supported them?

    By mid to late 1942, the news of the calamity could no longer be ignored or suppressed; the Jewish Agency (and its surrogate organizations in the US) relented and could no longer downplay the calamity in the press. On the other hand, since their response had been mediocre at best (who mostly dragged their feet in confronting Hitler's army), that created an opening for a few energetic Irgunists to lead US Jewish politics by focusing on rescuing Europe's Jews and creating a Jewish Army that would fight the Nazis; and both points were de-prioritized by the Zionist leadership during the war. Those Irgunists (who were led by Hillel Kook -- a.k.a. Peter Bergson -- whose group later was known as the Bergson Group or Boys) did sensational and slick media campaigns in major US newspapers to raise public opinion and collected funds for the rescue efforts (which mostly financed by poor Jews and Gentiles). Between 1940 and early 1943, those Irgunists advocated saving Jews to Palestine only (as shown here) and attempted to create a Jewish army to fight the Nazis. On the other hand, by mid-1943, they recognized that the general public had serious issues with focusing rescue efforts on Palestine as the only destination for Europe's Jews. To put it simply, the general public recognized that if someone cared about saving Jews' lives, then where they would be saved is irrelevant.

    Two full-page ads in the NY Times calling for the rescue of millions of European Jews, but ONLY Palestine was cited!

    Finally, the Bergson Group relented and dropped Palestine from their platform by mid-1943, which was a very hard pill to swallow for any Zionist. As far as we can tell, the Bergson Boys were the only Zionist group to do such a thing, and by far they were a minority amongst American Jewry. Dropping Palestine (as the only destination for the rescued Jews) was considered a betrayal in Zionists' circles (irrespective of their political affiliation, see JTA on Oct. 23, 1943 for details), who mostly looked upon Jewish pain as the LEVER (a term that David Ben-Gurion often used) that would create their state. In response, Jews and Christians alike flocked to them, including a few US Senators and Representatives PLUS many famous Hollywood and Broadway personalities who created a few pageants about the calamity (Eleanor Roosevelt, along with many US Senators, attended a few of them). The Bergson Group even organized the Rabbis' march in DC (in early Oct. 1943, the only protest by Jews in DC during WWII, see a short video clip we have provided at the end of this section for important details), which ended up meeting leaders of the House and Senate at the Capitol steps (the march had much press coverage at the time). Take a wild guess: who weaponized antisemitism in the service of scaring FDR from meeting those Rabbis? God forbid, that can't be Zionist leadership in the US? It must be that evil Mufti who was behind it.

    Fake Valor: When the Bergson Group organized pageants in major US cities during the Holocaust, why did Zionist leaders lobby to shut them down?

    These facts slowly compounded during 1940-42, and by mid-1943, the Bergson Group posed a major threat to Zionists' leadership in the US, who threw all they got at those Irgunists (inclusive of the kitchen sink). Without any exaggeration, Zionist leaders in the US behaved like a chicken with its head cut off. Here are a few examples of what Zionist leaders in the US did to smother the Bergson Group:
    Zionists weaponized antisemitism against them (as they currently do against Palestinians), Zionists even weaponized American patriotism to keep them quiet, Zionists lobbied the US government to deport Bergson Group's leaders back to Palestine, Zionists lobbied the IRS to audit the Bergson Group financially, Zionists lobbied to cancel Bergson Group's pageants in most US cities, Zionists successfully lobbied against Baldwin-Rogers Resolution in Dec. of 1943 (that was sponsored by the Bergson Group) which favored rescuing Jews, Zionists denounced the Bergson Boys in major newspapers as fraud and fake as you see here in the Detroit Jewish News, Zionists labeled them as traitor for opposing their program at the American Jewish Conference, Zionists successfully lobbied the Washington Post to sponsor advertisements against the Bergson Group (although the Post withdrew its name a week after the fact). It should be noted that Zionists could not do such a thing for the NY Times, which had an anti-Zionist Jewish editor (Arthur Ochs Sulzberger) whom Zionists detested and couldn't control, Zionists always reminded the press and US leaders how fascists those Irgunists were (which was true), but failed to disclose that it was Ben-Gurion & Co. who were first to normalize trade and relations with Hitler when they signed the Haavara Agreement with him,..etc (for more details, see Sarah Peck's, Aaron Berman's, and Monty Penkowe's research).
    
    Just imagine any response you could name (short of a physical liquidation) Zionist leaders did to silence the Bergson Group, which continued unabated between 1940 and 45 (see for yourself how Beit-Zvi framed Zionists' response). Unsurprisingly, Zionists' response to the Bergson Group mimics attacking pro-Palestinian activists nowadays. If you expose any of their big lies, Zionists often would accuse you of paddling antisemitic tropes that "Jews control the media and politicians."

    How War Refugee Board (WRB) Was Established?

    Poster Stamps "Save Human Lives" by Arthur Szyk 1944

    Nowadays, in the Media and the press, rarely you'll hear of the Bergson Group, although they were the primary force behind FDR creating the War Refugee Board (WRB), which saved up to 200,000 Jews from being annihilated between 1944 and 45; thanks to the rare corporation between FDR's anti-Zionist Secretary of the Treasury (Henry Morgenthau, Jr a prominent Jew from NY City) who closed ranks at the moment of crisis with the Zionist Irgunists (who were known to be fascists) and non-Zionist JDC (who financed 3/4 of the $20M WRB's budget) to save Jews (for more details, read Beit-Zvi, start from p. 306-309). For those who are ignorant of Jewish politics, for Zionists and anti-Zionists to cooperate is an anathema (even between Zionist groups, putting their differences aside was a hard slog that rarely happened during the pre-Nakba; see Altalena Affair for details). Compare those numbers with how much Aliyah Bet saved, which sent Jews only to Palestine. Imagine how many could've been saved if Palestine had been dropped from being the only destination for Jews much earlier? How much the so-called yishuv did spend on rescuing Jews from what was donated for the rescue effort? How much did the yishuv allocate to rescue from their profitable Zionist enterprises? Once you examine the details (from Zionist and Israeli sources), you might lose your religion.

    NY Times Magazine, April 18, 1982: Zionist leaders admitted there wasn't enough bandwidth to fight both the White Paper of 1939 and Hitler. Thus, fighting the Nazis for the Gentiles so they can focus on defeating the White Paper

    To paint a picture of Zionists' response to the WRB, we urge you to read Beit-Zvi's assessment:

    To the Zionist establishment, this was sheer, unatonable heresy. The Zionist movement in America looked on the creation of the WRB as a regrettable mistake. Since recourse to the WRB on rescue matters was, however, unavoidable, the Zionists saw the new body as a severe blow that they would have to live with. Under pressure of a sympathetic public opinion, they paid it lip service, while expressing the reservation that no concrete results would be achieved unless the gates to Palestine were thrown wide open. In the course of time, recourse to the WRB increased and the declared objections diminished. America’s Zionists came to accept the fact that this body existed and that benefits to the Zionist cause had to be looked for elsewhere. (Beit-Zvi, page 309)

    Hitler's Message To The West: If Jews are such noble citizens and you care about them, how come you're not letting them in?

    On July 2^nd, 1944, Ben-Gurion heard that Jewish refugees could find haven in Libya at the height of calamity. Here is how Herr Ben-Gurion reacted. We are not making this stuff up, this is for real; but first hang on to your seat:

    In a meeting of the Jewish Agency Executive around this time, Ben-Gurion reaffirmed the underlying principle of his attitude toward rescue affairs: “We must do everything, including things that appear fantastic. But on one condition--that the action does not damage Zionism.” And as a topical example of the crucial reservation:
    “If we could get the Jews moved to Libya and then to Eretz-Israel, I would agree. But the very mention of Libya is inherently subversive --even if unconsciously-- of Zionism.”
    It will be recalled that the War Refugee Board wanted to set up a large refugee absorption center in Cyrenaica, Libya. (Beit-Zvi, page 310)
    
    [Thus, to save the Jews, what is the big deal if a few million sacrificed at the altar! Didn't the Carthaginians sacrifice their babies? For the love of God, guys, don't make a big deal out of it. Everyone does it, right? Now, please, allow what Ben-Gurion said to sink in for a minute, then reflect: in the World of KAPOs; wasn't this the worst?

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    Please pay attention to how Zionists' controlled media outlets brushed aside the Bergson Group and how much of Zionists' inter-fighting (concerning rescuing Jews and fighting Hitler) was suppressed, especially at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), PBS' special on the US and the Holocaust series, and the Zionist Hasbarah Network JVL. On the other hand, if you carefully read their profiles on Wikipedia (which is a pro-Zionist platform by far), you'll read a few hints of Zionists' fierce rivalries during WWII. What was disclosed here is only the tip of the iceberg. Based on our research, this was an open secret in Jewish communities, but it is a big taboo subject to discuss. It is worth noting also how USHMM's page about Peter Kook only appeared recently although the museum had an interview with him and Samuel Merlin since 1978. According to Wikipedia, USHMM was petitioned to recognizing them in late 2007 (Zionist censorship runs deep in most Jewish and American circles; a href="/Articles/General3/Story38899.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dissent is never tolerated). If you are interested in the boring details, we highly recommend Sarah Peck's, Monty Penkowe's, David S. Wyman's, and Lenni Brenner's presentations, some of the earliest works to be published on this subject. If you have an hour, we highly recommend watching "WHO SHALL LIVE WHO SHALL DIE?" by Laurence Jarvik, it contains very important interviews with many important persons who witnessed these painful events. Trust us, it will be worth your time.

    Before we end this introductory section, we believe it is worthwhile watching Peter Bergson for two and half minutes talking about the Rabbis' march, the obstetrical they faced from Zionists (which he referred to as "monkey wrenches"), how the Bergson Boys lobbied to rescue Europe's Jews in the US Congress, and most importantly how Zionists fought his group with tooth and nail because they didn't advocate saving Europe's Jews ONLY to Palestine. Make sure to watch Mr. Bergson to the last second and remember this happened when the last million was alive. Pay attention to his body language; as if he regretted being a Zionist:
    
    
    Just imagine this counterfactual scenario: what if Ben-Gurion & Co. managed to shut down those brave Jews who made the War Refugees Board possible, the Holocaust would have been much worse, right? If you like omelets, you must tolerate breaking some 6M eggs! No big deal; it was done in good faith; it was done to save the Jews!

    American Jewish Conference: The prelude to AIPAC and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations after WWII Ended

    Why did Hayim Greenberg describe American Jewry as "morally bankrupt" in early 1943?

    When Zionist leaders felt the existential threat coming from the Bergson Group and others, they viciously attacked them (as we've pointed out earlier) with all they had. On the other hand, that wasn't enough. To prove that it was them who spoke for the American Jewish community, by mid-1943, Zionist leaders organized the largest gathering of American Jewish Organizations in the US in what became known as the American Jewish Conference that represented 5,000,000 American Jews (which excluded the Bergson Group). Almost everything about this conference structure, how it came to be, and its sessions smells bad. (Abandonment of the Jews, read Chapter 9 -- The Zionists)  What was surprising was that Zionist leaders invited non-Zionist groups (i.e., the American Jewish Committee) to join them, but not the Irgunists! Anyhow, in all, 80% of the delegates were "avowed Zionists." (Abandonment of the Jews, p. 155)

    Look who is copying from Joseph Goebbels' propaganda playbook. Birds of a feather always flock together

    That said, you would think American Jewish representatives (500 delegates from all over the US) at the conference dropped Palestine from their agenda as the only destination for Europe's Jews. You would think American Jews in mass focused on rescuing Jews and de-prioritized the importance of the creation of their "Jewish state" at the height of the calamity. On the contrary, American Jews acquiesced to the Zionist program (see the Biltmore Conference and its resolutions) at the height of the calamity; sadly, they even lobbied the US Congress against rescuing Jews.
    
    Allow this fact to sink in for a minute, then contemplate that these resolutions were voted on when the last two million were still alive. Meaning this vote wasn't an afterthought; the calamity was known to all a year earlier by the Fall of 1942! As we shall prove soon, this is one of the biggest taboo subjects in the American Jewish community.

    In this regard, we ask you to contemplate how Raul Hilberg's characterization of this "Patriotic Jewish Conference". Note that Raul's seminal work (in "The Destruction of the European Jews") was the earliest to study the Holocaust. Actually, Raul's assessment is way more critical than ours, which explains why he struggled for 12 years to find a publisher. It seems that Zionists' Ministry of Truth was hard at work:

    Were the British so STUPID as to promise COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE to Palestinians in 1939 (who, of course, "didn't exist") while the Indians had been DREAMING of such a thing for 400 years?

    The destruction of the European Jews was not even mentioned [....] The Holocaust is unopposed. The paralysis was complete (The Destruction of the European Jews, p. 1205 and 1209 and Zionism during the Holocaust, p. 130)
    
    [What Raul alluded to was for real. Playing down and suppressing news of the Holocaust was done on purpose, here are the details if you care.]

    Also contemplate how Henry L. Feingold characterized the same conference in the Politics of Rescue:

    Fake Valor: Jewish-Brigade, Italy April - 1945: The Impostering Hero, see me while I bomb Nazis. We wonder: were any similar selfies taken at the al-Alamein meat grinder?

    Why arouse Arab fears by public pronunciamientos, reasoned the leadership of the Emergency Committee [a.k.a. the Bergson Group], if the same objective could be achieved without endangering the rescue operation? By muting the national home appeal, the rescue momentum might actually be improved since there existed considerable sensitivity to Arab feelings in the Allied camp. The Emergency Committee reasoned that there was almost no chance that the Allies would affront Arab sensibilities during wartime. They gave rescue priority.

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details

    For Zionists, however, no such division could be made. It was simply inconceivable that the goal of rescue and that of the national homeland might work at cross purposes. Both were part and parcel of the same objective, redemption of the Jewish people. One hardly had meaning without the other. By the time Rabbi Stephen Wise testified at the hearings [ at the US Congress in late 1943 and early 1944] the issue between the two groups had been joined. Wise refused to endorse the resolution outright, for although there was no divergence on the idea of having a rescue commission, he felt that the resolution was "inadequate" because of its failure to mention the opening of Palestine to unlimited immigration. (Politics of Rescue, p. 238 )

    Fake Valor: Daddy, what did you do during the Holocaust while you were in Palestine?

    The astute reader might ask: Why did American Jewry and Zionist leaders execute such a policy at the height of the calamity? Well, here it is from American and Zionist leaders (Rabbi Stephen Wise and Nahum Goldmann) spelling it out in plain English in May 1943:

    We cannot press the Hitler button and the British and Palestine button [defeating the White Paper of 1939] at one and the same time! (NYTimes, April 18th, 1982: AMERICAN JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST By Lucy S. Dawidowicz). Nahum Goldman was known to have said something similar (see Abandonment Of The Jews By David S. Wyman, p. 176).

    [All knew there was insufficient bandwidth to fight Hitler and the White Paper of 1939 simultaneously, and one had to give. Zionist leaders knew well that the only way to defeat the White Paper was by directing the Jewish refugees ONLY to Palestine. That is why they were fixated on Palestine as the only destination for Jewish refugees. In the process, Europe's Jews were left high and dry, and Ben-Gurion got his LEVER that created his state. In depth, we have addressed this topic in another section]

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but at a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    It was shocking to discover that only a few American Jewish Organizations dissented (who only objected to the agenda's timing but not based on the principle) to such an insane program (we call it a pogrom). It was the Irgunists (yes, the most fascist element in Zionism) who finally relented (by mid-1943) and abandoned focusing on Palestine as the destination for Europe's Jews, but not the mainstream American Jewish organizations (read it directly the primary source "American Jewish Conference Report, Nov. 1st, 1944," see pages 5, 13, 17, & 19). On the other hand, the same American Irgunists faced the apparent contradiction in their strategy: How can Zionist Jews focus on rescuing Europe's Jews (during the calamity) and at the same time fight the British in Palestine and Egypt? Remember that as of May 1939, Great Britain effectively reversed the Balfour Declaration when it promised Palestinians independence after the war (as a consequence of the White Paper of 1939). Those same American Irgunists advocated both conflicting policies (of rescuing Jews and fighting the British) at once and cheered Irgun's revolt against the British between 1939 and 1948. In this regard, it is worth quoting Lenni Brenner:

    The Economic Bulletin Of The Anti-Nazi-League, Sept. 1934 Report

    That the American Irgunists did more than all other Zionists to help the Jews in occupied Europe is clear. That Begin’s revolt did absolutely nothing to help those same Jews is also clear. The American Irgunists pushed for Begin to start his campaign; therein lay their strength and their weakness. They did not expect the British to give them Palestine; they had broken with them before the war and fully expected to fight them during and after the war. They saw themselves as having to tear "what they wanted from out of the hands of the imperialists, and that psychology carried over into their approach to rescue. They outflanked Stephen Wise because they represented the "little Jews". The ordinary Jews wanted "Action not Pity" and they supported the Emergency Committee because it articulated their outrage at what was happening to the Jews of Europe. But in Palestine, Begin did not have the sympathy of the ordinary Jews. Had the Irgun mobilised the Jewish masses in a direct challenge to Gruenbaum, it is possible that they could have overturned the supremacy of the WZO. As it was, the cause of Palestine was once again a distraction.
    
    [Just in case you have missed the irony of the situation, please allow this fact to sink in for a minute: Two of Israel's future PM, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, bombed WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland]

    Israeli Jews looting al-Musrara Palestinian Quarter, Jerusalem 1948

    Finally, just in case you still have your doubts about our presentation, we like to quote Wikipedia's Biltmore conference page (an extremely pro-Zionist platform):

    The estimates for the destruction of European Jewry grew throughout 1942 and 1943. Chaim Weizmann urged a re-evaluation of the Biltmore program in June 1943. Chaim Weizmann’s earlier estimate of 25% destruction declared at the Biltmore conference now seemed wildly optimistic. Rabbi Meyer Berlin leader of the Mizrahi Zionist party disagreed arguing that no one could know how many Jews would survive and how many would die. [

    TWO IMPORTANT NOTES 

    A) How Dr. Chaim Weizmann warned that more Jews will be murdered if the creation of the state takes a higher priority over saving Jews, but Zionist leaders brushed Dr. Weizmann's warnings aside by saying: who knows what the future holds! You are not God to know! Old habits die hard; this type of gaslighting continues to this date!

    B) It was Wiezmann himself in 1938 who predicted that Europe could soon end up with 6 million murdered Jews (Yoav Gelber, p. 582). Therefore, Zionist Jews knew well that the knife was heading towards Europe's Jews way ahead of the Nazis. The question is: how did they respond?]

    Why do you think Zionist Organizations are actively promoting "I Love Hamas" Stickers? How many similar schemes were done, and we are ignorant about who was behind them?

    American Jewish conference

    At the American Jewish Conference [the prelude to AIPAC] of 29 August 1943 [64 American Jewish groups, by far the largest Jewish voices at the time that was composed of 500 delegates representing some 2,250,000 Jews, and Rabbi S. Wise put that number as large as five million] the adoption of the Biltmore program was challenged by Joseph Proskauer and Robert Goldman [both represented the American Jewish Committee, a.k.a. AJC; and Mr. Goldman was a well known Zionist from Cincinnati, here is what he wrote], they argued that the immediate problem was the rescue effort, not the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth [their objection was based on the timing; but not based on the principle; judge Proskauer changed his mind soon after the war)]. Goldman felt the Biltmore program was unduly weighted in favour of the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth [in Palestine was implied] and that the focus on this as a priority would hamper the efforts to rescue the European Jewry.

    While Abba Silver [who was against bombing the death camps & railroads into them during the conference] and Emanuel Neumann put forward that the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth [in Palestine] should be the primary aim.

    The Zionist Version Of Lebensraum: A Map Of The Great Israel

    [Image grab and if you are interested to read the boring details from the primary source "American Jewish Conference, Nov. 1st, 1944", see pages 5, 13, 17, and 19-20, JTA Oct. 26th, 1943, and The Bergson Boys p. 293 - 296.
    
    If you have the time, we urge you also to read what David S. Wyman wrote in "Abandonment of the Jews" from p. 167 - 177. Pay attention
    
    A) How a long time Zionist of Cincinnati, Robert Goldman, warned that the resolution at hand would do nothing to save Europe's Jews and it would lead the British and the Arabs to harden their positions. Despite that delegates voted sixty-one to two in favor of focusing on Palestine.
    B) How Mr. Wyman concluded what we have concluded (our research was written before we read his book), however, towards the end of the chapter he gave Zionists a free pass (see pages 176-77). We followed his assessment with our review.
    
    Honestly, Mr. Wyman presentation paints Zionists in a dark light, and despite that he is a well known supporter of the "Jewish state," who used to brag about his Zionism. If you'll read what Mr. Wyman wrote in Chapter 9 (The Zionists), you might lose your mind; you have been warned.]

    David Ben-Gurion's Response to the British Kindertransport a month after Kristallnacht: NY Times, July 12th, 1987, citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers showing how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews who saved themselves by immigrating to countries other than Palestine!

    Just in case you think that the above assessment (of de-prioritizing rescuing Jews) was only limited to Zionist leaders, we are forced to quote the deputy opinion editor at the Forward (Nora Berman), who gave a free pass to Rabbi Stephen Wise and his cohorts:

    ..... FDR did not meet with the rabbis on the advice of his Jewish advisers [Nora never named those Jewish advisors but we suspect they were Samuel Rosenman of the American Jewish Committee and Rabbi Stephan Wise; both were close to FDR], who said that Bergson and his rabbis did not represent the mainstream Jewish opinion.
    
    These advisors were not wrong: a significant portion [Nora didn't report a number, 25% was reported by PBS after Kristallnacht but it could be much higher during the war; other source cited 20% figure] of the American Jewish community did not want to draw attention to their Jewishness during WWII by advocating for the Jews of Europe. They feared antisemitic reprisals by their neighbors; despite their assimilation, they felt the tentative status of their relative acceptance in American society. There was also a palpable divide between wealthier, assimilated, largely German-American Jews and their poorer Eastern European brethren. A rabbi in the early 20th century said of the new Yiddish-speaking arrivals: "We are Americans and they are not. They gnaw the bones of past centuries." Forward - Sept. 22nd, 2022
    
    [Recently, Prof. Illan Pappe recently spoke of how British Jewry (especially the aristocratic ones) had a similar sentiment , which motivate many to support the Balfour Declaration although they were not Zionists! It seems the act of "pulling up the ladder behind you" was more widespread than we thought! Henry L. Feingold confirmed similar information in the US, only a few Jewish groups (i.e., the left-wing Jewish Labor Council) lobbied to increase immigration quotas for refugees, see Politics of Rescue, p. 13 - 14. This is not a surprise to those who works in politics; often immigrant are the first to vote for anti-immigration laws.]

    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but on a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944

    Similarly, Thomas Kolsky (in Jews Against Zionism) wrote in 1990:

    ...despite the public posturing, the confrontation between the Council [short for the American Council Judaism, a.k.a. ACJ who was anti-Zionist] and the Zionists in 1943 and 1944 was marred by the tragic failure of the two groups to work for the rescue of European Jews. Instead of concentrating their efforts during the war on saving Jews, both were preoccupied with fighting each other and preparing plans for the postwar period.
    
    An example of the Zionist preoccupation was the bitter campaign of the American Zionist leadership in 1943 and 1944 against The Emergency Committee To Save The Jewish People of Europe. Organized in 1943 by Peter Bergson (Hillel Kook), a Palestinian Revisionist, The Emergency Committee wanted to separate the Issue of rescuing Jews from the statehood question for the duration of the war. Bergson's group waged an intensive advertising campaign to draw attention to the situation in Europe and to generate pressure to save Jews. Through its Influence, on 9 November 1943, identical resolutions were Introduced tn the Senate and the House urging creation of a "commission of diplomatic, economic and military experts" to prepare a plan to save the remaining Jews tn Europe. The official Zionist leadership did not support the resolutions. Instead, apparently out of fear of competition from their Revisionist rivals, the American Jewish Conference and the AZEC [American Zionist Executive Committee, the prelude to AIPAC] attacked The Emergency Committee mercilessly throughout 1944. Moreover, the Zionists urged the State and Justice departments to have Bergson deported or drafted. Although the rescue resolutions were not put to a vote, they contributed to Roosevelt's decision to create the War Refugee Board (WRB) in 1944. The WRB engaged in some modest rescue operations in 1944 and 1945. The example of the WRB indicates the possibility that, if during the war years American Jews had been committed to rescue rather than to Jewish statehood, much more could have been done to save Jews. The Zionists' emphatic demands for Jewish statehood during the war, their reluctance to support the rescue resolutions, and their attacks on Bergson and the Emergency Committee confirm Council clams that Zionism was less concerned with saving Jews than with achieving its political objectives tn Palestine. However, despite its correct analysis of Zionist policy, the Council was equally inactive on the matter of wartime rescue. (p. 105-106)

    Adolf Eichmann & company coined a special Gold Medallion in honor of the Nazis' relationship with Zionists! Do you have any ideas why he visited Palestine in 1937?

    Until this date, American Jews (Zionists and non-Zionists alike) never reckoned with these choices they made in the 1930s and during WWII, who often carefully covered up their tracks (more on this in the next paragraph) in the mainstream media, and often prefer to deflect by using others as patsies (i.e. Mufti Haj Amin, FDR, JDC, American Jewish Committee, Henry Ford, IBM, Churchill, ..etc). If you are interested to know how passive American Jews (again, Zionists and non-Zionists alike) were in the 1930s towards their European brothers, we urge you to read Jews in Action booklet that was released by American Jewish communists (Jewish People’s Committee) in 1941 who took the lead in protesting fascism (actually, it was Leon Trotsky who wrote the book on FASCISM: What It Is and How To Fight It); please don't ignore Rabbi Stephen Wise infamous letter to Congressman Donald O'Toole who proposed increasing Jewish immigration quotas in the late 1930s, on page 7, and how American Jewry responded during Robert Edmondson's infamous trial. This explains why the American Jewish community have become the tip of the spear in spreading Zionists' big lies especially after the 6 Days War of 1967. This community continuously in NEED of patsies to deflect away from their past; else the community might implode. Here is THE evidence if you are interested in the boring details.

    Fake Valor: Why did two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bomb WWII war efforts while their families were being gassed in Poland?

    Just in case you think that what was written earlier was anti-Zionist rants, we urge you to contemplate reading what Peter Grose in "Israel In The Mind of America" wrote in 1983 (from p. 108 to 112; page 112 is a must read), then you will see how kind we were to Zionists. Before you judge us, we ask you also to contemplate how why Haim Greenberg (one of the towering American Jewish Zionist intellectuals) wrote on Feb 12^th, 1943 (seven months before the American Jewish conference) in the Jewish Frontier a few months after the Holocaust became known:

    The time has come, perhaps, when the few Jewish communities remaining in the world which are still free to make their voices heard and to pray in public should proclaim a day of fasting and prayer for American Jews. No--this is not a misprint. I mean specifically that a day of prayer and of fasting should be proclaimed for the five million Jews now living in the United States. They live under the protection of a mighty republic governed by democratic laws. . . . The vast majority of them have enough food to eat, clothes to wear and roofs over their heads. . . . Nevertheless, they deserve to be prayed for. They are not even aware what a misfortune has befallen them, and if they were to look at themselves with seeing eyes they would realize with shock how intolerable this misfortune is. . . . If moral bankruptcy deserves pity, and if this pity is seven-fold for one who is not even aware of how shocking his bankruptcy is, then no Jewish community in the world today (not even the Jews who are now in the claws of the Nazi devourer) deserves more compassion from Heaven than does American Jewry. (The "Other" New York Jewish Intellectuals, p. 46)
    
    [Mr. Greenberg was one of the few labor Zionists who dared to challenge Ben-Gurion & Co. advocating for the encouragement of all possible havens for Jewish refugees. Notably, he was the driving force behind the proposal to relocate Europe's Jewish refugees to Alaska; however, his suggestions were quickly rejected. Therefore, when he wrote this article, it didn't come out of the blue. Haim's frustration was building up, and then he exploded in early 1943. We are sure that Haim was angry during the American Jewish Conference.]

    A Playlist Of Short Clips Of Jews Sharing Their DNA Test Results

    We found the American Jewish Conference's resolution in the NY Times, which confirms much of what was cited in Wikipedia, including Judge Joseph Proskaur's complete statement (here is JTA's report on Oct 26th, 1943 which contains way more details). Remember, this resolution was adopted at the height of the calamity, and almost all American Jewish organizations and groups adopted it; and those who objected, their objections were about the time of the resolution and not on principle. To rub salt into the wound, we found that Zionists (along with their Christian Zionist friends) were busy trying to get the US Congress to adopt a pro-Zionist Bill which could've undermined the war effort and not for the intervention of the War Departments (in the US and Great Britain) the whole Middle East could've erupted when the war effort needed Arab support the most (The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman p. 136-37).
    
    If you have the time, please contemplate reading Zionists' presentation to the US Committee on Foreign Affairs in early 1944 (yes, before the last million were murdered); nothing whatsoever was told about saving Jews anywhere EXCEPT for Palestine. Oddly, it was Professor Philip Khouri Hitti of Princeton University (YES, the Gentile Arab) who was one of a handful who dared to ask US lawmakers to open American gates to save Europe's Jews! What was even more tragic was that Zionists' agitation (starting from the 2nd half of 1943) was so reckless and dangerous to the war efforts to the point that it prompted the British and the Americans to contemplate walking away from Zionism by reversing the Balfour Declaration in July 1943 (see what Peter Grose wrote on this little known subject, p. 178-9). Now, if you don't see how this wasn't intentional criminal negligent (that's in the best case scenario) by focusing their attention on Palestine as the calamity was happening, then you should have your head examined. Since all parties had Jewish blood on their hands, then nixing the investigation (that was supposed to report on American Jewish groups' conduct and passivity during WWII) made perfect sense! Why continue an investigation that could risk making American Jews and the Zionist movement at least partially responsible for the Holocaust? Just nix it and keep it quiet; that is why only a few have spoken about it since 1983.
    
    For completeness' sake, here are Faris Yahya's, David Wyman's, Sarah Peck's, Beit-Zvi's, Laurence A. Jarvik's and Monty Penkowe's presentations on this subject, which were among the earliest written about this scandal. We hope you will find them informative.

    Back To Haavara FAQs
40. NYTimes, as late as 1943, Zionist leaders were lobbying US Congress to block Jewish refugees' safe havens unless GB opened immigration into Palestine
    Are you saying that Jews caused the Holocaust?
    Are you implying that Zionists did collaborate with the Nazis?
    
    This is a classically Zionist style of conflating Judaism with Zionism when it helps them to obfuscate the facts. The evidence shows that Zionist enterprises were in real pain in the early 1930s (caused by the Great Depression), which put the Jewish Agency under severe financial stress. If nothing had changed, it would've been a matter of little time until the Jewish Agency was liquidated (The Transfer Agreement, p. 90). Therefore, during the Great Depression in the early 1930s, all Zionists' hands were on deck, and the Zionist movement faced an existential crisis. This explains why they were willing to work hand over fist with Hitler even if Zionists ended up enabling the devil. In return for Hitler bailing out Zionism, Zionists gave Nazis a helping hand by breaking up the anti-Nazi boycott.
    
    Therefore, the Haavara Agreement was a win-win deal for both sides, and signing it with the Nazis had nothing to do with saving Jews' lives. What was tragically funny that it was Hitler was willing to ship German and Austrian Jews anywhere, even on luxury ships, until late 1941. As we shall demonstrate shortly, the evidence shows that Haavara was signed by Zionists to save themselves, and they (referring to Zionists) often risked Jews' lives whenever they were confronted with existential crises, and the Holocaust was only one of them.
    
    
    Fake Valor: Why Did Zionist Jews Hoist Nazis Flag on Their Ships in the 1930s?
    Frankly, when non-Jews normalized trade, relations, or even alliances with Hitler; that was understandable especially after the Nazi occupation of Poland and France by mid-1940 (as Mufti, Vichy Government, ... etc.). Love it or hate it, that is what real politics dictates, and the policies of appeasement or open collaboration happened by most European nations including of the only anti-fascist block at the time, the Soviet Union (see the infamous Molotov-Ribbontrop Pact for details). On the other hand, Zionist leaders were FIRST to be in bed with Hitler even when appeasement policies ended up ratcheting repression against German Jews, and Haavara continued unabated even after the Nuremberg Race Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom. Therefore, Zionist leadership was the first to know that appeasing Hitler not only would've enabled him, but most importantly, appeasements made him confident, emboldened, and way more intransigent. Instead of reassessing Zionists' policies, Zionist leaders doubled down on Haavara, and not for FDR shutting down it in late 1941, this arrangement with the Nazis could have continued until war's end! Mazeltov Jews, give yourselves a big hand for this "wonderful gift" to humanity!
    
    What is mind-boggling is that Zionists continue to defend Haavara 8 or 9 decades after the fact! We were shocked to discover that one of the founding fathers of the "Jewish state," Nahum Goldmann, came to a similar assessment after the fact; Goldmann's account of the events had incredible remorse and regrets! This wasn't an afterthought; Zionists knew the negative ramifications of their policies as they executed them during the 1930s and 40s.
    
    

    Did Zionists collaborate with the Nazis?

    Fake Valor: Jewish-Brigade, Italy April - 1945: The Impostering Hero, see me while I bomb Nazis ONLY a few weeks before WWII ended. We wonder: were any similar selfies taken at the al-Alamein meat grinder?
    Here is the unvarnished truth: Zionists of all shades NEVER saw the Nazis as the enemies, which explains why the majority of the Yishuv avoided fighting the Nazis to the bitter end, and defeating the Nazis was left for the Gentiles. On the other hand, when Zionist records are exmained, it became clear that Zionists' top priorities was to defleat the British White Paper of 1939, and to prepare for the upcoming war with the Arabs. Let us not forget that two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin & Yizhak Shamir, bombed allies' war efforts during WWII, and Lehi even reached for an alliance with Nazis as late as December 1941. YES, ladies and gentlemen, this happened while their families were being gassed in Poland. It should be noted that Palestinians during WWII CEASED resisting British colonization of their country, and most importantly 12,000 of them fought the Nazis!
    
    
    
    Kastner Saved Lives Too: How does justifying Haavara after the fact not resemble Rudolf Kastner's defense of what happened on his famous train but at a much larger scale? Kastner train passengers on their way to Switzerland, 1944
    In the technical sense, does this evidence amount to collaboration with the Nazis? Technically, no. On the other hand, we can safely say that Nazis & Zionists were NEVER enemies, and for sure Zionists' policies and actions during the 1930s and 40s helped the Nazis. In other words, the relationship between both sides was collaborative on many fronts without an open military alliance, and the credit goes to Hitler (not to Zionists), who rebuffed Lehi's partnership offer.
    
    In the best of cases, the Zionist movement was guilty of intentional reckless endangerment. The evidence shows that Zionist leaders worked hand over fist to close all windows in a burning house, and left one single exit open (Palestine) to Europe's Jews to maximize their political gains (David Ben-Gurion referred to such a process as the LEVER that would create the Jewish state). As we have proven already, Zionist leaders made sure that Europe's Jews were left with two options: either they made Aliyah to Palestine to join the yishuv or go to Auschwitz, and lobbied feverishly like hell against any viable third alternative. Sadly, this continued even after WWII ended in the DP camps. Just in case you think our characterization is over the top, wait until reading it from ChatGPT (who framed the two options as: land or coffin), or reading it from Ben-Gurion himself when the Holocaust was in its infancy:

    At the Biltmore Conference in May 1942 Ben-Gurion said: “The meaning of these two ships [Patria and Struma -- both were sunk during WWII with Jewish refugees onboard] is simple: Eretz-Israel or death-- and as soon as the war ends, many ships like these will stream to Eretz Israel.” (Beit-Zvi, p. 259)

    [Two important points to keep in mind: A) When Ben-Gurion said this statement, he knew that Patria was sunk by the Haganah based on Moshe Sharett's orders in Nov. 1940 (almost 16 months earlier ). That by itself was very telling. B) The mass majority of Europe's Jewry after WWII ended immigrated to the Americas and preferred to live with the Gentiles even after Palestine was emptied of its people.]

    Which hate speech was worse: Hitler's hate speech at the Reichstag on Jan 30th, 1939, or Ben-Gurion's speech (just two months before Hitler's speech) when he incited the murder of German Jews a month after the Kristallnacht?

    Therefore, in practice, Zionists executed David Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech to the maximum to increase their leverage, which he articulated a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom. And when fomenting antisemitism could or might serve them, they often jumped on it with little hesitation & cheered. That is why Europe's Jews looked at them as the enemy from within, especially before their destruction during WWII. What is sad is that this reckless pattern continued at the height of the calamity, and all were fixated on Palestine to force England to open Palestine for unrestricted Jewish immigration.
    
    Just in case you think what was written was a Palestinian anti-Zionist rant, please think twice. In Jewish communities around the world, this is an open secret. Actually, American Jews investigated Zionists' policies during the 1930s and 40s in the early 1930s, and they were quickly nixed.
    
    

    Herzl Died Thinking Israel Would Have Been in Uganda, not in "empty" Palestine
    Finally, let us drive our main point home: Since the Zionist movement presents itself as a "Jewish national liberation" movement, then we are forced to ask: Can you honestly name a single Nazi who wasn't pro-Zionist? Can you honestly name one Nazi who was anti-Zionist? Can you honestly name one European antisemite whom Zionist Jews (from all shades of color) didn't work hand over fist with? Here's the shortlist: Russian Tsars and their antisemitic ministers, Symon Petliura, Arthur Balfour, Winston Churchill, Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Reinhard Heydrich, Adolf Eichmann, Alfred Rosenberg, South Africa's apartheid regime, Otto Skorzeny, Argentina's military junta (see Tony Greenstein excellent research how something as Haavara was replicated in Argentina at the expense of Jewish lives, p. 190-192), Hermann Krumey, Kurt Becher, Dieter Wisliceny, the promoters of the so-called great replacement, teaming up with brown and black fascist shirt on the far-right to beat up pro-Palestine encampments, ..etc.
    
    Much to our surprise, we discovered that West Germany's de-nazification process after WWII was in practice nothing but re-nazification (more like rebranding in marketing). We were shocked to discover this has been an open secret.
    
    For God's sake, even those in the far-right in Europe and the US (who are fighting against critical race theory, equity & diversity) are flocking to defend their fascist buddies, are you surprised? From its inception, Zionism adopted Martin Luther's antisemitic ideology (which Hitler later adopted), and Herzl instructed his followers: antisemites will become our best allies; therefore, why should we resist them? (The Transfer Agreement p. 226 & Zionist Relations with Nazi Germany by Faris Yahya p. 9-10) Therefore, the Zionist ideology in practice is antisemitism; that's why Europe's Jews turned against it and considered Zionists The enemy from within. That is why Europe's Jews before and after WWII voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles and not to the emptied country of Palestine. That is why the Zionist leadership organized a quick airlift for Arab Jews (which was the first of its kind for so-called refugees) once their fears were confirmed that Europe's always preferred somewhere else. It is simple and stupid: where antisemitism doesn't exist; Zionists will foment it if and when they find it serving their interests.

41. JTA Sept. 3rd, 1933 Quoting Nahum Sokolow: "Hitlerism enables us to convert all Jews to Zionism."

    Your presentation seems to imply that Hitler was a Zionist; that is absurd. Hitler killed Jews in the millions!
    
    After we extensively researched the Haavara Agreement and Zionists and Nazi relations, we found ZERO evidence that either side ever considered themselves either foes or enemies. On the contrary, in the worst-case situation, the evidence shows (as you shall see shortly) that both sides avoided clashing with each other to the bitter end. In the best-case situations, both sides saw their relationship as cordial, respectful, and mutually beneficial. Therefore, if Hitler was a Zionist or even a non-Zionist, that is irrelevant. What Zionists cared about was Hitler's pro-Zionist policies, and if Hitler was a Zionist, that was just icing on the cake. To this date, we haven't found one single Nazi policy that was anti-Zionist. Anyhow, here are a few facts that prove our point:
    
    Can you honestly name a single Nazi who was anti-Zionist?
    
    Can you honestly name a single Nazi who wasn't pro-Zionist?
    

    David Ben-Gurion envisioned that Nazis' Nuremberg Race Laws would become the LEVER that would end up creating the "Jewish state," but how? Click the image for the details
    Can you honestly name a single European antisemite whom Zionists didn't work hand over fist? Here is the shortlist: The Russian Tsars and their antisemitic ministers, Symon Petliura, Arthur Balfour, Winston Churchill, Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Reinhard Heydrich, Adolf Eichmann, South Africa's apartheid regime, Otto Skorzeny, Argentina's military junta (see Tony Greenstein excellent research how something as Haavara was replicated in Argentina at the expense of Jewish lives, p. 190-192), Hermann Krumey, Kurt Becher, Dieter Wisliceny, the promoters of the so-called great replacement, teaming up with brown & black fascist shirt on the far-right to beat up pro-Palestine encampments, ..etc. For God's sake, even those in the far-right in Europe and the US (who are fighting against critical race theory, equity & diversity) are flocking to defend their fascist buddies, are you surprised? From its inception, Zionism adopted Martin Luther's antisemitic ideology (which Hitler later adopted), and Herzl instructed his followers: antisemites will become our best allies; therefore, why should we resist them? (The Transfer Agreement p. 226 & Zionist Relations with Nazi Germany by Faris Yahya p. 9-10). This policy served Zionists well until the Holocaust was underway. Nazis exploited Herzl's instruction in the ghettos when they employed mostly Zionists as Kapos, and that had dangerous ramifications.

    Here is an excellent short clip documenting how Nazis were fond of Zionists (here is the link on YouTube). Trust us, this is worth your time:
    

    Let's Ask Reinhard Heydrich If Anti-Zionism Antisemitism?

    If Zionists were anti-Nazis, how come two of Israel's future PMs (Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir) bombed WWII war efforts? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this Zionist fake falor happened while their families were being gassed in Poland; this proves what was front and center on their minds, and defeating the Nazis wasn't one of them. Please keep in mind that Palestinians COMPLETELY CEASED fighting British colonization of Palestine during WWII, and thousands of Palestinians were at the meat grinders in North Africa, not like the so-called Yishuv who avoided fighting Nazis until the war's end!
    
    Many would be surprised to know that it was an open secret that most hard-core Nazis were fond of Zionism (Hitler even praised them in Mein Kampf), and many openly admired this Jewish Nationalist ideology.
    
    Many would be shocked to know that most German bureaucrats (civil servants, especially at the Reichsbank) were against extending the Haavara Agreement by early 1938. All warned Hitler that implementing this agreement was coming at a great expense to Germany and Haavara could end up creating a "Jewish state," which would alienate millions of Arabs against the Nazi regime (see Documents on German Foreign Policy - Series D - Volume V, p. 783 - 786, Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 133, Avraham Barkai, p. 264-266, Jews For Sale? p. 26, JTA March 8th, 1938). Hitler didn't heed their advice and extended the Haavara Agreement, which continued to function until FDR shut it down in Dec. 1941.
    
    It is worth pointing out also that the Jewish Agency's office in Berlin closed its doors as late as May 1941 (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany p. 276).

    Don't you find it odd how Zionist Jews eagerly worked hand over fist with every European antisemite (who were reluctant even to fight them during the calamity) but managed to weaponize antisemitism in the processes to legitimize Palestinians' replacement and dispossession? Mazeltov, Zionist Jews, give yourself a big hand. In the process of demonizing Palestinians, you've managed to provide Nazis a free pass on their antisemitism! Love it or hate it, this is precisely what Bibi Netanyahu implied when he blamed the Mufti Haj Amin for the Holocaust. Therefore, Bibi provided Hitler with an alibi! Do you understand why the promoters of the so-called great replacement are flocking to embrace and promote "Anti-Zionism is Antisemitism"? YES, it's the same ones who adopted the America Second slogan. Sorry, we meant to say the American First slogan! Just in case you haven't recognized it yet, Zionism Is Antisemitism, which explains why often birds of a feather flock together.

    Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Zionism is originally an antisemitic idea (deeply rooted in the Lutheran Church) that was adopted four centuries later by Theodor Herzl (the founder of Zionism) after the Dreyfus Trial in the late 19th century, which Europe's Jews universally rejected. To learn more about Herzl's antisemitism and how that affected Zionists from the beginning, we urge you to read his Mauschel article; then, you will understand that Zionists' antisemitism was done by design. Weaponizing Jewish hate was Zionists' golden goose; it keeps on going, and that is why Europe's Jews didn't want to be part of them.
    
    In this regard, we have to ask: is it possible Palestinians have become the last Semites and Zionist Jews have become the neo-antisemites? Is it possible that Nazis knew well whom they were dealing with and didn't make the common mistake of conflating Jews with Zionist Jews? Let us hope by now you recognized how Zionism is a terrible and dangerous disease of the mind.

    Back To Haavara FAQs
42. How did the British mandate regulate immigration to Palestine before WWII?
    
    Immigration regulations in the Mandate divided immigrants into four groups:
    Category A: Persons of independent means (Category A, 'Capitalists'). This category requires the immigrant to have P£1,000 when he/she relocates to Palestine for good.
    Category B: Students and persons of religious occupations whose maintenance is assured (Category B).
    Category C: Persons with a definite prospect of employment (Category C, 'Labour').
    Category D: Dependents of permanent residents of Palestine or immigrants in other categories (Category D).
    
    Only category C immigrants were subject to the economic absorptive capacity principle, as the immigrants of categories A, B, and D were not expected to join the labor market. Until 1937, immigration to Palestine was officially regulated by the country's economic absorptive capacity. However, in the 1930s, immigration was primarily governed by political rather than economic considerations. The main concern of the British authorities was to ensure law and order in the country, and they were attuned to the complaints of the Arabs that Jewish immigration harmed them economically and threatened their status as the majority in the country. In 1934, when Jewish immigration grew rapidly and substantially, Britain decided not to allow the Jews to become the majority group in the country. In the second half of the decade, following the Arab Revolt that broke out in 1936 and continued until late 1939, Britain acted to maintain the existing demographic composition of Palestine (about one-third Jews and two-thirds Arabs).
    
    In July 1937, it formally abandoned the principle of economic absorptive capacity as the yardstick for Jewish immigration, replacing it with the "political high level" principle aimed at preventing the growth of the Jewish population beyond the one-third limit. This "political high level" principle fixed a ceiling on Jewish immigration of all types, ages, and sexes, determined by political and demographic considerations, regardless of the country’s economic ability to absorb immigrants. In 1937, it was set at 12,000 immigrants per year; in the May 1939 White Paper, the number was raised to 15,000, reflecting the rapid natural growth of the Arab population in Palestine. It must be EMPHASIZED that Great Britain alone regulated the immigration of categories A, B, and D, granting the Zionist Organization (a.k.a. the Jewish Agency) partial authority over the issue of category C certificates. That said, although the British left it for the Jewish Agency to distribute those Labor Certificate visas as it saw first to European Jewish immigrants, the British established affirmative action that favored German Jews and mandated that 5 to 10% of all Labor Certificates should be assigned to German Jews (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants By Aviva Halamish, p. 124-25, and Statistical Abstract of Palestine, 1943 7th-edition p. 12 &  13). Also keep in mind that Capitlaist and Students visa programs (Category A & B) were terminated after the White Paper of 1939 was enacted in May 1939 (Statistical Handbook Of Jewish Palestine For 1947 p. 94 ).

43. Zionists were very selective with who would immigrate out of Germany and always young and strong (The Transfer Agreement, p. 378)
44. How is concocting excuses to justify Haavara isn't the green light for Zionist leaders to make any deals (with similar devils as Nazis & Mussolini) under the pretext of saving lives? Factually, this happened many times since Nakba. Zionists worked hand over fist for advantage with all autocratic & fascist regimes, inclusive of South Africa during the apartheid period!
    Could such reasoning be used in justifying torture, using nerve gas, implementing an apartheid system against subjected Gentiles, or even dropping a tactical nuclear weapon on enemy territory? Why not! All will save Jews' lives, too.
45. Assume Haavara was all about saving lives; in this regard, Haavara caused Nakba & the loss of Palestinian lives; of course, that is if you believe Palestinians to exist who have the same rights Jews have!
46. Haavara embodied Herzl's strategy: The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, and antisemitic countries are our allies (Der Judenstaat)
    You would think Zionists had contemplated Adolf Eichmann's offer to save a million Jews a few years after Haavara ended in late 1939 (see Joel Brand & The Seventh Million). Eichmann's offer wasn't even considered! Is it possible it wasn't considered: A) because Eichmann's offer contained zero financial incentives? B) because the offer required payment of 10,000 winterized trucks and other provisions? or C) because "the would-be saved Jews" were penniless and weren't guaranteed to immigrate to Palestine?
    
    To get an idea of how Zionists reacted to Adolf Eichmann’s offer, you have to read Joel Brand's account of how Jewish Agency's (the "Jewish state" body before Nakba) heads treated him with contempt & indifference (zero urgencies); it was chilling to read on Wikipedia (pay attention to section May to October 1944). If we find out that it was Zionists who leaked Eichmann's offer (to the media to torpedo Joel's mission), would you be surprised?
47. June 17, 1967. Note the Israeli officer to the left directing Palestinians out of their village 'Imwas
    How was the Haavara Agreement not an implementation of Herzl's strategy to turn antisemites into a tool to finance, defend & create the Jewish state? That is what he did when he met with officials from Great Britain & Tsarist Russia; which was replicated by every Israeli leader since Nakba:

    "The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies" Theodore Herzl in "Der Judenstaat"

    Here's Edwin Black stating how this way of thinking was widespread among early Zionists:

    "In the minds of Zionists, Jewish life in Germany could not be saved, only transferred. Even if Hitler and the German economy were crushed, Jewish wealth in Germany would be crushed with it...[as if Black implies the that crushing Nazi Germany early on doesn't serve the Zionist cause!] ..The wealth had to be saved. Through the speedy liquidation and transfer of that wealth, the Jewish homeland could be built, thus creating the refuge needed for a mass transfer of the people. Zionism had declared from the moment of Herzl that antisemitic regimes were to be opposed. They [antisemitic regimes] were to be cooperated with in the transfer of Jews and their wealth. " (p. 226)

    Note how Mr. Black contradicted himself on pages 379-380 when he claimed that Zionists in the 1930s had no way of anticipating a genocide of German Jews. Also, note how he describes Zionists at the time as if they looked upon German Jews as if they were cattle! That is truly chilling, especially when a Zionist wrote it.
48. NYTimes, as late as 1943, Zionist leaders were lobbying US Congress to block Jewish refugees' safe heavens unless GB opens immigration into Palestine
    Is it possible that Zionists have implemented similar Haavara agreements with Arab regimes & USSR to facilitate airlifting Jews after Nakba to populate the emptied country? Especially when European Jews voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas in mass even after Nakba!
49. Is it possible that European Jews knew about this drug deal in the 1930s & 1940s?
    Is it possible that many Jews know the truth & say nothing to spare the Jewish community a deadly implosion?
    Would not that explain why they've voted in mass with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles even after Palestine was emptied of its people after Nakba?
    
    That explains why Ben-Gurion airlifted Arab Jews to populate emptied Palestine after Nakba! Click here for details.
