Lots of detail. More evidence that Ken "Moe" Burns distorts history.

What a surprise? I’m deeply shocked.

The hatred of the Jewish people is replete throughout history and continues to this very day.
No single peoples have had to endure such pervasive hatred. The thing that astonishes me is the fact that from the beginning there were and continue to be so many people of Jewish heritage that willfully hate and undermine their own people.
This fact is unprecedented in human history but is pervasive among certain Jews. For the life of me, I will never understand that. And, American Jews are just as hateful of other Jews and Israel as any other. It’s simply bewildering to me.

“Irritated by Bergson’s campaigns, the Roosevelt administration sent the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service to squash him. Although they were pursuing evidence of criminal wrongdoing, it is clear that political motives were the impetus.”

Using the FIB and Infernal Revenue Service to threaten and intimidate?

Some things just don’t ever seem to change.

After I saw his series on the Civil War I knew Ken Burns made extremely slanted ahistorical “documentaries” and haven’t bothered with any others he’s done.

Shock Shock, it turns out he’s a hardcore Leftist.

For those who won’t read the story, ‘Peter Bergson’ was the assumed name of Hillel Kook, nephew and student of the famed Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, Ashkenaz Chief Rabbi of Mandatory Palestine.

Interesting article, thank you.

The Burn’s piece was anti-Trump propaganda, not history. Burns ignored FDR’s antisemitism. Of course, he downplayed Kook and the Revisionist Zionists.
