“FDR deliberately hurt Jews by restricting their immigration to nearly zero “
That wasn’t his doing. The Republican Congress and President in 1924 enacted that restriction and FDR had no power to change the law.
“In June 1939, FDR refused to save 900 Jews aboard the ship St. Louis.”
He had no legal authority to admit anyone on the ship, and probably would have been impeached had he done so. His underlings, however, desparately worked to find other places where they could go, and they did make it to places other than Germany. Many survived the Shoah.
“FDR repeatedly endorsed the Holocaust”
That is a slanderous lie. I challenge you to find a single statement or writing in which FDR or any American elected official endorsed the murder of millions of Jews.
“would not permit bombing of deportation railways or crematoria at the camps even when it could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives”
That wasn’t FDR’s decision to make. He didn’t interfere with the generals on the scene. If you want to blame anyone for that decision, blame Eisenhower, who was the Supreme Commander in Europe and had full authority to bomb anything he wanted. (Eisenhower would prove incredibly hostile to Israel in 1956.)
“FDR delayed the freeing of prison camps in the Netherlands as long as possible”
Wrong again. The Netherlands was liberated by Canadian troops, not Americans. They avoided fighting in much of the country in order to avoid civilian casualties; much of the Netherlands was at the time one of the most densely populated places in the world.
“By the act of 1924, we are permitted to admit approximately 150,000 immigrants each year.”
That is a lie. There was no limit to the number of immigrants allowed from the Western Hemisphere. If a Jew could somehow make it to a Western Hemisphere country, and spend a year there, he/she could then come to the US freely. Unfortunately few Jews took up the offers of refuge made by Haiti and the Dominican Republic. (I do know someone whose grandfather spent a year in Haiti.) Yet most Jews from Germany who wanted to get out did get out by 1939, as Germany had a relatively high limit — over 50,000 per year, more than any non-Western Hemisphere country.
The problem was the quotas for Eastern Europe. Poland’s annual quota was 5,982. Russia’s was 2,248. Hungary’s was 473. Lithuania’s was 344. Yugoslavia’s was 671. Romania’s was 603. And that was for ALL immigrants from those countries, not just Jews. FDR had no power to admit anyone over the limit.
Jewish nativists should think about when they support immigration restrictions.
