Reply To: Terrorists Murdered Hostages Shortly Before They Were Located

philosopher: The quotes from Rav Hunter are verbatim what he said in a speech and was published during his lifetime in Agudas Yisroel’s official publication “Jewish Observer”, in 1979.

Rav Hunter was one of the most fierce anti-Zionists. This is very well known. He learnt by Rabbi Kook for a few years as a young man and even had a picture of him in his Succah for a few years, but he took it down as some of Rabbi Kook’s shittos became better known. Rav Hunter never cited anything from Rabbi Kook in Chaim Berlin, where he was Rosh Yeshiva nor did Rav Hunter ever quote Rabbi Kook in any of his Seforim, including Pachad Yiztchok.

What I quoted above from Rav Avigdor Miller zt’l is his own words, that he published in one of his Seforim. It has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and you can buy it today in almost any Seforim store.

“<i>The Zionist leaders together with the Reform “rabbis” aided substantially in the destruction of the European Jews.”

In July 1938 President Roosevelt convened the Evian Conference to consider the problem of Jewish refugees. At that time a German offer was made to release Jews at $250 per person. The Jewish Agency, headed by Golda Meir, decided to ignore the offer.

At this conference, the delegation from the Jewish Agency made no effort to influence the United States or any of the 32 other participating nations to open their gates to admit German Jews.

Rabbi Weismandl sent urgent and impassioned appeals for small funds to stave off the deportation of thousands. The assimilationists and Zionists of Switzerland and other neutral countries and of the rich countries and of the rich communities overseas refused his request.

It was because European Jews put their trust in atheistic Zionist leaders that these leaders everywhere became the lackeys of the Nazis in all the Ghettos. They were the machinery, which served efficiently in the task of keeping the Jews docile and of persuading and coercing them to be sent off to their deaths.</i>

Which parts of the above direct verbatim words of Rav Miller zt’l do you not understand that he is laying blame for what occurred to the Jews in the Holocaust directly at the feet of the Zionists? His language could not have been any clearer.
