<WORLD WAR II AND [RACIST] ZIONISM.
[[Addition: Financing World War II
The Second World War was financed by the "US" banks which financed Communism (bank house: Schiff) and Nazis (bank house: Warburg) at the same time. Hitler had many more moneylender, e.g., French royalists, Russian czarists, Mussolini, German and "US" industrialists etc. By this war manipulation, Europe was destroyed and at the end the "USA" and the "Soviet Union" were celebrated as the saviors of the peace with chewing gums and chocolate. Within this war manipulation there was much war profit - by Jews and non Jews, and there were many victims - Jews and non Jews...]]
[Jewish war moods - Jews in the "US" army]
During the public debates between 1939 and December 1941, concerning U.S. (col. 1632)
foreign policy during World War II, U.S. Jews were generally found on the side favoring maximum aid to England and France, and later Russia. Jewish sympathies were less with Great Britain, whose imperialism and White Paper of 1939 on Palestine were deeply resented, as their fear and loathing [[disregarding]] focused on Nazi Germany.
The America First Committee, which included a few Jews, but also attracted anti-Semites, in 1941 sponsored a speech by Charles A. Lindbergh charging that Jews were attempting to draw the United States into war. the coming of World War II ended the debate over isolation and also proved a blow against anti-Semitism, which was identified with the Nazi enemy.
[[But some anti-Semitic restrictions in the "USA" were lifted only in the 1960, see: *Discrimination]].
Jews served in all branches of the U.S. armed forces, their numbers reaching approximately 550,000. About 10,500 lost their lives, 24,000 were wounded, and 36,000 decorated for gallantry. Jewish refugees from Germany furnished many U.S. soldiers, while refugee scientists played an indispensable role in the development of atomic and other advanced weapons. The Jewish soldiers were served by 310 Jewish chaplains holding military rank, and the *National Jewish Welfare Board provided religious and some social needs.
[War escalation 1942-1944 - the manipulation of the public opinion into a racist Zionist line]
While battles raged throughout the world, European Jewry was being systematically murdered by Nazi Germany. Information became public during the fall of 1942 [[right at the time of the NS defeat of Stalingrad]], and subsequent stages in the Nazi "final solution" were widely known [[with systematic death in the tunnel and bunker systems for underground weapon production]]. U.S. Jewry, fearful of appearing to ask for "special treatment" or of encouraging propaganda that it was a (col. 1633)
"Jewish war", shied away from demanding direct U.S. intervention to save Jews under Nazi rule. The view was taken that early victory was the sole means to rescue European Jewry. (col. 1634) [[...]]
In May 1942 [[racist]] Zionist leaders, headed by [[racist Zionist leader]] Chaim Weizmann, set their postwar program as Jewish control over immigration to Palestine, leading to the founding of a Jewish commonwealth. [[The Arabs were not asked]]. It was embodied in the *Biltmore Program (named after the New York hotel where the conference was held) and it gradually won over U.S. Jewry by vigorous [[racist]] Zionist public relations efforts, and above all by the widening realization of the full fate of European Jewry.
Under Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, the American Zionist Emergency Council, which conducted Zionist political affairs in the United States, continued the traditional method of winning sympathy and good will from U.S. political, religious, and intellectual leaders. Rabbi Wise was supplanted in 1944 by Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver and more aggressive tactics of converting U.S. public opinion to the (col. 1634)
[[racist]] Zionist program and applying its continuous pressure to the makers of U.S. foreign policy were adopted. The representative *American Jewish Conference in 1943, swayed by Silver's oratory, rejected a compromise demanding only free Jewish immigration to Palestine and adopted the Biltmore Program. On two occasions, early in 1944 and late that year and early in 1945, the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee was about to pass resolutions endorsing the Jewish commonwealth with every prospect for early passage in both houses of Congress, when the War Department, at the request of the State Department, succeeded in having them tabled as "prejudicial" to the war effort. (col. 1635) [[...]]
[War Refugee Board since 1944]
Early in 1944, following a direct approach by Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who was profoundly disturbed by State Department indifference and hostility to all rescue proposals, President Roosevelt established the War Refugee Board. The board energetically attempted, with some success, to work through neutral countries and third parties to prevent further Nazi murder of Jews and others. Within the U.S. Jewish community, a Va'ad Hazzalah (Haẓẓalah) Rescue Council) under Orthodox leadership worked to rescue Jews, mainly by ransom. (col. 1634) [[...]]
[[Then the mass murder of the Jews in the tunnel and bunker systems and on the front line between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army was at it's peak]].
[Anti-Zionists in the "USA"]
As [[racist]] Zionism
[[which wanted to instigate another world war against the Arabs with a "Greater Israel" from the Nile to the Euphrates according to the Bible, 1st Mose, chapter 15, phrase 18]]
"conquered the community" (in Herzl's phrase)
[[who was the writer of the booklet "The Jewish State" with the plan to drive all Arabs away as the natives in the "USA" had been driven away, and with the plan to enslave all Arabs for the Jews, and the Jews would manage gold mines]]
anti-Zionist views became more isolated and aggressive. The *American Council for Judaism was founded late in 1942 upon an ideology of "classical Reform" opposition to Jewish nationalism. It conducted an assiduous anti-Zionist propaganda campaign which was vigorously countered by [[racist]] Zionists. The American Jewish Committee turned in a similar direction as it advocated free Jewish immigration to Palestine under a rather vague international trusteeship. Much of its once great influence was lost over this issue, however.
[Economic growth because of the war activities 1942-1945 - anti-Semitism of the "America First Committee" with Lindberg - reduced anti-Semitism after Pearl Harbor]
The domestic activities of the U.S. Jewish community remained in relative suspense during the war. Jews shared in U.S. prosperity as unemployment almost vanished, charitable aid became superfluous, and business flourished. However, anti-Semitism continued in sectors of public opinion, and manifested itself in petty street molestations of Jews, especially in Boston and somewhat in New York. President Roosevelt's alleged remark to "clear it with Sidney [Hillman]" was used with special malice by anti-Semites against him during the 1944 election. A strong wave of postwar anti-Semitism was expected, especially of there were a depression, during the difficulties of economic conversion from war to peace.> (col. 1635) [[...]]
[[Details of anti-Semitism 1940-1945]]:
The approach of World War II in the late 1930s saw the formation of a powerful isolationist movement in the United States. The America First Committee, organized in 1940, attracted anti-Semites to its banner. At an America First rally, on September 11, 1941, Charles A. Lindbergh, hero of American aviation, termed the Jews the most dangerous force pushing the United States into war. Although his speech was followed by the protest resignation of the more liberal members of the committee, Lindbergh and the conservative faction persisted in their propaganda. Similar remarks were heard on the floor of Congress from such isolationist Senators as Burton K. Wheeler and Gerald Nye. After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into the war, open anti-Semitic agitation (col. 1655)
declined. The tensions of the war years, however, stimulated a considerable amount of anti-Semitic sentiment. In 1944, for example, a public opinion poll showed that 24% of the respondents still regarded Jews as a "menace" to America and one-third to one-half would have supported a hypothetical anti-Semitic campaign. The fate of European Jewry appeared to have little impact on the prejudices of the American public.> (col. 1656) [[...]]
