NEW YORK - New evidence suggests that as the Jews of Europe were being slaughtered across continent during the Holocaust, President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not want them seeking refuge on American shores.

Not entirely accurate: in some conversations FDR did express a desire to settle Jewish refugees here, but he said he thought anti-Semitic sentiment in the U.S. would make this practically impossible, so he looked for other options, which the documents described in this article evidently reflect.

FDR's State Department consistently stalled and made the minimum effort to allow Jewish refugees into the US.

That said, the worst barrier to Jews escaping Europe was the notorious British White Paper, which severely restricted Jewish immigration to Palestine as an appeasement to the Arabs.

Quite true.

I am a strong supporter of Israel and the Jewish people. Question: do you think the Bolshevik revolution had an effect on America’s perception of Jewish refugees/immigrants? My understanding of the Ukrainian history is that many Ukrainians did not like the Jews whom they saw as communist sympathizers.

It did, largely because of sloth, stupidity, and lies. A large number of Western observers hung out and drank with Monarchists and didn't want to sully themselves or do any work by talking to Jews. And so they believed the propoganda by the drunkards and dimwits, who were the effective useful idiots for the Bolsheviks. What the anti-Bolsheviks needed was a united front and not to piss off every minority group. Russia nobles, hobbled by inbreeding, vodka, and Slavophillic mental disorders, failed to understand this.

There is an adage that conspiracy is the falses sophistication of the ignorant. And you have fallen for and are regurgitating really stupid conspiracy delusions.
In the real world, the people behind the Germano-Bolshevik Revolution were the German High Command, and their supporters around the world. The German High Command - including future Hitler ally General Ludendorff- decided to fund, arm, and transport the Bolshevik leadership from Switzerland to Russia to take Russia out of the war. The Czar had already been overthrown, but the provisional government continued the war. The German-backed Bolsheviks replaced, the Kerensky Government, which had ended antisemitic laws, and replaced it with one, which made Judaism a crime. Jews were never even a majority of Bolsheviks, much less all of them. Stop self-medicating and do some basic research
