I also grew up believing most of the propaganda you do. I’m no Zionist today but as I go older I realized the propaganda is incorrect for the following reasons amongst many others (1) Even if your claims were true there was no collective Zionist vote on how to deal with these issues. It was a kept private decision of a few individuals. (2)Even in retrospect I can see the logic of not agreeing to Nazi ransom demands. To put it this can you give me a SINGLE time the Nazis DID keep their word when they said “Give us this and we’ll leave you alone” on a larger scale than a few individuals? (3)Even had the Zionist wanted to give in there is no way they could have come up with he money to do so (4) being that the Zionist were hardly alone in not helping fellow Jews ,There were non Zionist Jews that had a lot more money, influence and other ability to do so, your thinking seems to be based on issues with Zionists and Zionism rather than actual facts.
I know I won’t convince you so I’ll stop here and won’t post further on this thread
