I think that if fully half the of the Jews from Europe made it into America, it would have been far easier for the rest to do so than you’re making it out to be. But point taken.
“You are just making up facts now.”
I believe the technical term is “speculation”.
Oh, and suggesting that the IDF could have prevented the Holocaust is…
“The facts are that the Germans were plenty busy in Europe and that the war ended before the Nazis could take the middle east, there is no reason to assume that they would have reached E”Y sooner had there been more Jews there.”
I don’t know, they seemed to be willing to devote a whole lot of effort towards wiping us out. If there would have been a significant Jewish population in what was then known as Palestine, I think the Nazis would have had much more of an incentive to conquer it.
“In fact it makes sense to say that if the Germans knew they were facing a powerful Organized Army allied with opposing superpowers there they probably would have hesitated even longer to go out to the middle east.”
They had no problem starting up with the French, the English, the Americans, and the Russians (all of them world-class powers)… at the same time. Do you honestly think the IDF would’ve scared them away?
“First of all this idea that Muslims always treated the Jews great is myth.”
Yes, it was never paradise (although it was better in the Arab lans then it was anywhere else). But they weren’t usually killing 14,000 of us in the span of 65 years, or expelling every last Sefardi community. That only happened after the State of Israel was created.
“Second of all so this is the pretext the Arabs used”
Again, forget what they say; look at what they do, and how that compares to how they treated us pre-1948.
“Since when did listening to Anti Semites and agreeing with their reasons for killing us become a Frum thing to do??”
I do not in any way endorse the Arabs’ excuses for wanting to murder us. I’m just saying it wasn’t the greatest idea to provoke them.
