You would be wrong.
Netanyahu has also weighed in on the “Ship of Fools” and the failure of American military to liberate the death camps sooner.
But he did not do it to disparage FDR. He did it to warn Jews everywhere that by the time a Holocaust is upon you, it’s too late to rely on your allies.
It’s very similar to telling Americans to not rely on getting help from a 9-1-1 call because you may be dead before the police arrive. It is better to have a gun in your hands to assure survival.
I have a very dear friend who is quite well-known and I won’t mention his name. But he an older Jew living in Manhattan. He is very wealthy. One of his assets is a high rise covering an entire square block of Manhattan. And his stock holdings are so vast I’ve lost track of his updates to me.
He’s one of the nicest persons anyone could know. He’s also one of the meanest. If a tenant is one day late on the rent, the tenant and their belongings are out on the street the next day. No mercy.
