No, it is the Zionists who are “shocking and repulsive”, though I did not blame them for the Holocaust, ch”V.
Incidentally, they did a pretty good job of “explaining” themselves, though.
The web is full of the expose of this dirty and shameful (if you are a Zionist) history, but I know links aren’t allowed here.
So please Google “Zionists declared war on Hitler”, without the quotes. Take your pick of the results, though some sites are more suitable than others. That will explain the reference above.
Read R’ Michoel Ber Weismandel’s Min Hameitzar.
Google the following quote from Ben-Gurion:
“If I knew that it would be possible to save all the children in Germany by bringing them over to England and only half of them by transporting them to Eretz Israel, then I opt for the second alternative.”
And this one from Chaim Weizmann:
[for Palestine]. The old ones will pass. They will bear their fate or they will not. They are dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world … Only the branch of the young shall survive. They have to accept it.”
And from Yitzhak Gruenbaum, the chairperson of the committee set up by the Zionists, nominally to investigate the condition of European Jews:
“When they come to us with two plans – the rescue of the masses of Jews in Europe or the redemption of the land – I vote, without a second thought, for the redemption of the land. The more said about the slaughter of our people, the greater the minimization of our efforts to strengthen and promote the Hebraisation of the land. If there would be a possibility today of buying packages of food with the money of the Karen Hayesod [United Jewish Appeal] to send it through Lisbon, would we do such a thing? No. And once again no!”
That’s for starters.
