Paris is about to rediscover this same thing, generations later.

What, 70-80% of our jews voted for the Kenyan, right?

[SkyDancer]

Great post. Is that all of it? I had to copy it in to a Word doc. to read it fully at a later time. Is that part of a book or larger quote?

Someday they will cheer as conservatives and freedom loving citizens are marched into the cargo holds of space craft and sent away to that harsh lunar colony...

They will only realize their mistake later as giant rocks start raining down upon them in a mercy blow after their socialist paradise has totally collapsed.

There is some obscure book — currently being denigrated by the elites in the US — that mentions something about what happens to those who curse Jews. Just can’t remember its name or author.

After Adolf Hitler’s defeat in May 1945, many Nazis melted away from the Reich, smuggled out by such organizations as the infamous Odessa group and the lesser-known Catholic lay network Intermarium, as well as the CIA and KGB

The CIA did not exist until 1947. All the Nazis were long gone before then.

The expulsion of the Jews always backfires—as it did on pharaonic Egypt, medieval England, Habsburg Spain, Nazi and Stalinist Europe, Nasser’s Egypt, and on, and on.

In 1958, Nuri al-Said, who perpetrated this outrage, was overthrown and replaced by a leftist military junta. He tried to escape Baghdad disguised as a woman but was caught and put to death.

Are you referencing or remembering this story: http://playsbyjanetstiger.com/Jews_on_Moon.html?

“The CIA did not exist until 1947. All the Nazis were long gone before then.

The author is most likely referring to Operation Paperclip which was run by the OSS predecessor of the CIA.

I wasn’t referencing that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that is how it eventually ends up.

And despite centuries of such persecution, Israel still thrives. A true miracle.

Copied all the text but there are pictures at the source if you click on the link. Not part of a book to my knowledge but the author, Edwin Black, has written a number of well received books, including two on Iraq, The Farhud: Roots of the Arab-Nazi Alliance in the Holocaust and Banking on Baghdad: Inside Iraq's 7,000-Year History of War, Profit, and Conflict

Should have nuked the middle east if this $hit is true.

[gr8eman]

Yep...I think the KGB was called the NKVD up to the late 50s early 60s

[tinamina]

I read the article at the link. Very interesting that our own Alaska Airlines was such a huge help in getting the Jews from Iraq into Isreal.

Very interesting article, worth the reading and very informative about an unfortunately little known part of modern history.
