Kilobear and others, anybody who blames the Zionists for the holocaust needs to have his head examined. The primary motivation for Zionism was anti-semitism and pogroms which occurred throughout the ages wherever Jews lived. You need to study history 101. The biggest Navi of the last century and a half may have been Herzl himself who predicted severe problems if the Jews don’t get their own State of Refuge and stop being dependent on non-Jewish hosts everywhere for their livelihood and personal safety who on a whim will expel, kill or plunder the Jews at any time. The Zionists went and told Hitler who was a big Jew lover that why not go ahead and kill some Jews. Hitler responded, but they are my friends and I respect them. The Zionists then said, they are out to get you and they stabbed Germany in the back in WW1. Hitler said I don’t believe it. The Zionists then falsified some documents and brought proof that the Jews are the major cause of all problems in Germany and the world. Hitler then sighed and said, this is very hard for me, but if the Zionists tell me that I must kill Jews, I will see if I can possibly make a holocaust. I am a kind man, and I would never hurt anybody, especially handicapped children. After long consideration, Hitler said, maybe I will just advise them to leave Germany. The Zionists said, no, you must kill them. Hitler said, how many, 10, 20? The Zionists said, no, we are talking every last one. Millions of Jews must be killed. With a heavy heart and conscience, Hitler said I will look into this.
Seriously, this is the most idiotic accusation anybody could make up. I have discussed elsewhere on YW that the fact that the Zionists did not want to spend millions of dollars on dubious bribes that in all likelihood would only have bankrupted the Jews even more and then be used to buy more military equipment for the Nazis to kill even more Jews, was a totally reasonable decision. I pointed out that the Nazis lied about every possible thing. They lied about aktions saying they were roll calls, they lied about the gas chambers saying they were showers. You are now going to trust them with millions of dollars???
The Zionists may have correctly figured that bribes are a band-aid approach to anti-semitism. The root of the problem is to have our own government which will never again expel or kill Jews. Very reasonable to me.
