“Back when America had character and conscience, we were appalled when a madman named Adolph tried to exterminate all Jews in Europe.” Not until over 4 million had already been exterminated—in fact, we turned away ships as late as 1944 that were carrying surviving Jews. I hope we don’t make the same mistake this time. I suspect, however, that when the current leadership is replaced, that Israel will never put it’s fate in the hands of non-Jews again—including the US.
I was under the impression that it wasn’t apparent about the condition of the Jews under Nazis until Allied forces reached the death camps themselves... So, to say that we “waited” until 4 million had died, I don’t think is that fair, is it? Perhaps that’s a bit of misinformation I picked up in History Class, but that’s what I remember hearing anyway.
I will admit that I personally always found it a LITTLE hard to believe that word had not reached people way before 1944 - at least through intelligence channels - especially at the rate it was occurring by then. But then, how many actually escaped from these camps to be able to tell what was really going on?
We kept waiting for Europe to solve Europes problems. One thing is for certain. we recognized the atrocities committed against the Jews much more quickly than the atrocities committed against the Armenians, and were still doing nothing in Darfur. What About Kosovo? While Muslims continue to burn down Christian churches there under UN watch, “WE” helped turn it into another Muslim country. What’s the difference? only the political & propaganda machines operated by the various groups. You will also notice that Jews refuse to recognize what happened to the Armenians, and just out and out don’t want to discuss what Germany did to the Polish and the Gypsies in the same time period. I asked a Jewish friend of mine why, and he said that it would reduced the level of thunder they possessed in the media. Now I don’t know if this is true or not, but as a supporter if the Jewish state there are times when I question their loyalty to us. After all we have caught them spying on us & selling sophisticated U.S. military hardware to China after we told them not to. I think the U.S. has more than demonstrated a sincere allegiance with Israel. I know a while back I read that there were 3 Jews with duo citizenship that sat on our foreign aid & assistance committee. We have always helped them more than anyone else. We also recognized Israel as a country when nobody else would. If this country “Allowed” crimes against the Jews in WWII our atonement has been made a long time ago and on numerous occasions. In the past we just treated them as we treated any ethnic group. Are we evil because we didn’t treat them special any sooner?
I love my country, and I will not apologize for our delayed entry into WWII. Most Americans were against involvement prior to Pearl Harbor. Our involvement never was just to stop the Jewish Genocide.
