Joseph-as always, you are totally wrong. If you think that no one believed that Jews posed a risk to Americans in the thirties, you are still smoking the same thing that you have been smoking all along. There was a genuine pro-Nazi crowd then, led by Lindbergh with their slogan : “America First” (what a coincidence!) and we, the Jewish people, were the main victims. From the Evian conference in 1938 when no nation- not even that benevolent USA- volunteered to accept Jews to the turning back of the St.Louis, on FDR’s order.to the refusal to lift a finger in bombing the train lines to Auschwitz, all of it was colored by a deep anti-Semitism in the US. And the pretense was the criminal nature of “those Jews”. Sounds like today, when all kind of spurious claims are made about Syrian refuges and the like. It is a stain on America and I, for one, will not be part of it. Let the refugees in!
