Zionists sought to get Jews out of Germany and this involved paying ransom money to the Nazis. That makes Zionists victims of the Nazis, not collaborators. Antisemitism makes you stupid and traitor spreading literal communist propoganda

The article Klaus Polkehn wrote is sympathetic to the Jewish people, but not to the Zionists who took advantage of them. He makes an argument that the Jewish people - especially the working classes - were left out to dry, both by the Zionists, and by the Jewish upper classes, who could afford making the payments to get out of Germany.

Why were the Jews only allowed to emigrate to Palestine? There were Jewish populations in countries all over the world, and especially in the U.S. - where they would have been safe and free from harm.

If the Zionists wanted to be open and up front about what really transpired during the Nazi regime - they would release the historic documents that are “under lock and key” in Israel.

Rather than calmly debate this issue, you - like so many, especially here at FR, would rather resort to hyperbolic insults. Which accomplishes nothing.

When people don’t have a rational argument to make about Israel - it always ends up with accusing someone of antisemitism. Every time. How can you accuse someone of antisemitism when they don’t say anything bad about Jewish people…when in fact they are sympathetic to the plight of the many Jews who were ignored by powerful people who decided that instead of being allowed to emigrate, they would perish in the gas chambers?

World history has always been about the struggles of the powerless against the powerful. The story of the Holocaust, the Zionists and Nazi Germany - and all of those who perished because they weren’t given any choices - will never be told in the mainstream. So we have to look for it elsewhere.

As a postscript: when discussing the Holocaust, it is only fair to acknowledge the millions of non-Jews who also perished. From ilholocaustmuseum.org:

It is best when referencing the total number of victims of the Holocaust to say 6 million Jews and millions of others. All Holocaust organizations are making a united move to adhere to this message, and we must maintain a consistent record as a center of Holocaust education.
