If you are calling BS on this story, perhaps you should tell us what really happened then.
OK well that is unsubstantiated claim. Britain gave the Balfour declaration. Britain allowed Jewish immigration into Palestine. Britain supplied Israel with military equipment - most notably the Centurion tank, which was a major factor in Israel winning the Yom Kippur war. Stall or block the Jewish peoples desire? The author is implying there is some department in the inner recesses of Whitehall dedicated to frustrating the poor Jews! Well, friend, let me tell you we got better things to do than that. For "stall and block the Jewish peoples desire" read "fail to do absolutely everything they want and demand at all times".
One of the most shameful periods in recent British history happened immediately after the Holocaust.
Shameful by some people's lights. Im not ashamed of it.
Not for the first time (or the last), the UK bowed to Arab pressure by limiting the number of Jews that could enter the Holy Land.
Well that would be because Britain ruled Palestine under a UN mandate, and the native population were not happy about having a surge of foreigners (because most of these Jews came from mainland Europe - they hadn't been born in the Holy Lands) come into the land. There was a lot of protests and rioting and bloodshed and Britain decided to limit the rate of immigration to try and stop that. Are people on these boards saying that the government of a nation does not have the right to control immigration?
Jews their lives and families decimated by the Holocaust tried to sneak their way past the racist British blockade.
For "racist" read "not doing what we want". It is no different from mexicans calling the US government racist when they threaten to throw out illegal immigrants.
Those who were capture where thrown into "detention" camps in Cyprus. They would prefer Germany? They were illegal immigrants. They knew they would not be let in without permits, so what did they expect would happen?
Then there was the famous case of the Exodus the boat full of heroic Jewish Refugees captured by the British who went on a hunger strike, rather than allow the British to force them to relive the horrors they just escaped.
Oh go away. Relive the horrors? They are implying they were going to be sent back to Dachau or wherever! Heroic refugees? Illegal immigrants. So they went on hunger strike? So what. That's their choice.
These Holocaust survivors were placed on an 100 year old slave ship by the British and threatened with a return to Germany.
Threatened with a return to Germany - well that's where they had come from! 100 year old slave ship? Slave ship???? I gave up reading after this. This guy is just pushing out propoganda and playing on peoples emotions and feelings of remorse. Well, I am NOT buying into it. The Jews went through hell with the holocaust. They have suffered all through the centuries, but that does not make them immune to criticism here and now, and if they do something bad it is not anti-semitic to call them on it. "We've been so badly done to in the past" is not an excuse.
