Washington Post 03/11/13: "The Holocaust: FDRs indelible failure"

excerpts:

"...He is a god no more. His New Deal is no longer solely credited
with ending the Great Depression World War II did that and the war
in Europe was not won, as we all once thought, primarily by the United
States but more so by the Soviet Union. Yet these, to my mind, are
trifles compared to the criticism that Roosevelt was passive in the
face of the Holocaust. Its not that he did nothing, its that he did
nothing much....

.....Both FDR and his wife, Eleanor, were genteel anti-Semites ...

.....As late as 1943, at the Casablanca Conference, he sympathized with
a French generals observation that the Jews were overrepresented in
the professions. FDR referenced the understandable complaints which
the Germans bore towards the Jews......."

The Zionists wouldn't let him. They WANTED Jewish suffering, and a
sufficiency of it.

Read say Hanna Arendt or Edwin Black (a Christian doesn't have the Jew-
determined dispensation to write such - admittedly limited - truths).
Ever heard of them?

But why the focus on the "suffering of the Jews"? Non-Jewish soldiers,
sailors, airmen and civilians in their native towns and cities
suffered far higher risks than those put in - relatively - sheltered
concentration camps, albeit as slave labour; though when Allied fire
and other criminal carpet bombing of civilians on Germany commenced.
medical and other supplies wasn't available or didn't get through to
attenuate the incidence of horrific starvation and associated
infectious disease. The model was established in the first
concentration camps which were a necessary part of the so-called
"Boer" War (really War of the Janissaries against the white farmers
under the pretext of "Human Rights".

How old are you? Did you ever FEEL any empathy with the men who
returned from the War, warts and all? For the suffering of the Russian
masses? Or are you just another wretched cosmopolitan?

Take just the German retaliatory behaviour in villages and towns on
the Eastern front* or say Greece (where most of the deaths were from
starvation (300,000) arising from earlier requisitioning of the
harvest) or the fire bombing of Dresden or other saturation bombing of
Allied / German cities.

On the Boer War : this was the first modern, organised military, use
of concentration camps. Where else? The mortality - due to infectious
disease and poor nutrition - was very high as the Germans and Allies
would have known.

Sounds like you are part of the "Special Suffering" school...er,
Bill..


*Most Jews died there - as Communist partisans or supporters and the
bullet was the method of choice.

Or in the immediate post-war period:

"...the Czech Republic...expelled around 3,500,000 (in words: three
and one half million) Czech citizens of German ethnicity in 1945-48.
About 240,000 Germans died or were killed during what Germans around
the world refer to as die Vertreibung (The Expulsion).

The legal bases for The Expulsion and seizure of all personal and real
property without payment were the Benes Decrees,which also
amnestied anyone who committed any violent or non-violent illegal act,
including murder or rape, against the Germans. The Expulsion
depopulated the Sudetenland, the Czech border areas next to Germany
and Austria, and offered ethnic Czechs free, fully-furnished real
estate just for the taking...."


Remind you of a certain state in the Middle East...there it's VERY
ongoing.


And we need mention the mass expulsions in the same period of ethnic
Germans from Rumania and the huge suffering associated with that?

Nothing "sly" Bill, very direct: I deny the lie of "Special
Suffering".

There were only several thousands of key figures of the Bar
Confederation imprisoned or deported to Siberia whereas 100's of
thousands of Boers were imprisoned and 30,000 died in the camps. For
the Jews concentration was universal, clearly a barbaric practice*. It
was so often done with the collaboration and direct aid of the leaders
of the Jewish communities.

The Ten Years War example is closer to the mark - but this applied to
those who "disobeyed" the brutal demands of the colonial power and was
only intended for the duration of the uprising, with practices rather
like the Strategic Hamlets used by the USA in Vietnam.

We could add to the list Allied soldiers in the Japanese slave labour/
death camps in WW 2, Japanese civilians in WW 2 USA, the British
civilians in the Black Hole of Calcutta, the Gulag series, including
that of 'political' prisoners and returned captured Russian soldiers.
Some Indian reservations could be loosely included, a form of
concentration more humane than the Gaza concentration in which the
inmates are periodically subjected to near-genocidal military
bombardment.

It's strange how the undoubted Jewish suffering during WW2 has
apparently had very little role at all in moderating Zionist behaviour
in Palestine and its support by the "children of the holocaust" living
in the USA, Britain etc.

Incidentally, I typed in "pre-Nazi concentration camp" on Google and
had to go through 30 pages before seeing any entry other than the Jews
in Nazi camps - and that was a refutation of Ron Paul's view that Gaza
is a concentration camp! Now that's what I call control!


* with the exception of the large numbers and capital allowed to
migrate to Palestine under the 'Transfer Agreement':
"...the agreement between Adolf Hitler and an organization of Zionist
Jews in 1933, which made Hitler "the chief economic sponsor of the
state of Israel". A sweeping, worldwide economic boycott of Germany by
Jews helped spur a deal between the Nazis and Zionists.[1] At that
time, there were few Jews in Palestine, but from 1933 through 1936,
60,000 German Jews immigrated into the region, bringing with them
$100,000,000 dollars ($1.6 billion in 2009 dollars).[2]"

So how many people must it affect before it becomes barbaric?

Because the alternative was death.

Why should it?

British cities were bombed between 1939 and 1944 but nobody in the UK
ever said that the RAF should get rid of bombs...

Incidentally, I typed in "pre-Nazi concentration camp" on Google and

You should learn to use the Internet.

It took me all of two minutes to find a refutation of your nonsense.

Love the 'an organisation of Zionist Jews' bit.

Which organisation?

Never mind the smart arse remarks. I won't take your word for the
Googling as I have my own experience - the first 30 pages and much
more is totally swamped by THE Holocaust.

You deny the Transfer Agreement? Look it up Bill.

The organisation directly involved in these agreements was the German
Zionist Federation but the initial meetings on "the problem" after the
Jewish boycotts of German goods involved Goering and the anti-Zionist
German organisations and later German Zionist emigres in Jerusalem.



The "alternative" MAY have been death for the leaders - so they handed
over the lists - and calmed and policed the community so that they
would accept their lot and made deals for their cobbers and
themselves. Here's Hannah Arendt on the matter:


Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of
Evil

p. 117:
"Without Jewish help in administrative and police work--the final
roundup of Jews in Berlin was, as I have mentioned, done entirely by
Jewish police--there would have been either complete chaos or an
impossibly severe drain on German manpower.

p. 125:
"Wherever Jews lived, there were recognized Jewish leaders, and this
leadership, almost without exception, cooperated in one way or
another, for one reason or another, with the Nazis. The whole truth
was that if the Jewish people had been unorganized and leaderless,
there would have been chaos and plenty of misery but the total number
of victims would hardly have been between four and a half and six
million. According to Freudiger's calculations about half of them
could have saved themselves if they had not followed the instructions
of the Jewish councils."

p. 42, 118, etc.
Rudolf Kastner, a Jew made a deal with Eichmann in which 1,684 Jews
were allowed to go to Palestine in exchange for Kastner's silence
before and during which 476,000 Hungarian Jews were sent to the gas
chambers of Auschwitz.


pp. 217-218 pp. 275-276
"The measures against Eastern Jews were not only the result of anti-
Semitism, they were part and parcel of an all-embracing demographic
policy, in the course of which, had the Germans won the war, the
Poles
would have suffered the same fate as the Jews--genocide. This is no
mere conjectu the Poles in Germany were already being forced to
wear a distinguishing badge in which the "P" replaced the Jewish
star,
and this, which we have seen, was always the first measure to be
taken
by the police in instituting the process of destruction)."


p. 95:
"...Eichmann knew that right behind the front lines all Russian
functionaries ("Communists"), all Polish members of the professional
classes, and all native Jews were being killed in mass shootings."
