katan > If not for the wicked Zionists, those “survivors” would not have gone through the Holocaust in the first place. And the sephardim would have remained living peacefully AS JEWS in their home countries rather than being shmaded (at least three generations now) by the Zionists. And on and on.
I don’t think this has historical basis (other than saying without a proof that Hashem made it a punishment for XYZ):
– Nazis and Commies achieved their power without any connection to Zs (arguably, assimilated Jews played role in both countries, but this relates more to Reform and socialists, not Zionists)
– So when so many Jews perished after following advice from their Rabbis to stay in Europe, it is quite a hutzpah to blame other movements for what happened. Those rabbis should have clarified: you are all tzadikkim and if you stay you will perish because of the zionists who urge you to leave.
– we discussed sephardim already when we discussed arab countries. Yes, at the time, one could hold a view that it would be possible to live peacefully under Hashimites and similar kings. History showed that most of these countries went through periods of socialist and islamist brutality. So, syrian and Iraqi Jews would have gone through the prison in Damascus (when that prison was opened this year, there were people searching for hidden rooms, refusing to believe that all those who were not yet found there are not alive …) and ISIS (look what happened with yazidis, for example). So, all those sephardim were destined to live through this horror. So, maybe Moroccans did not benefit.
– Polish Jews after WW2, if they were not to find a place to go, would have been sent back to Communist Poland
– Soviet Jews who were already prosecuted by the time Israel was created, so not Israel’s fault, would have been fighting now in Russia-Ukraine war, walking on the battlefield hunted by drones.
