The more we learn about the Holocaust, even as it recedes into the “mists of time,” the more my blood boils, the closer I come to tears.
Last night, I traveled far out into Syrian-Jewish Brooklyn, where there are not only Syrian shuls but Egyptian, Lebanese, and Iraqi shuls as well—sometimes two or three on a single block. […]
Retired lawyer and filmmaker Robert Krakow was screening his film Complicit, which is about America’s and FDR’s refusal, in 1939, to allow the Jewish passengers on the German ship, the MS St. Louis, to enter the country. More than 900 Jews were on board the luxury liner that was sent back to the European death camps. […]
According to Robert Krakow, FDR’s “political ambitions won out over humanitarian need.” Roosevelt wanted to “win a third election.” He therefore decided that he had to convince American voters that he was strongly “isolationist and anti-immigration.” He was enabled in this undertaking by his anti-Semitic advisors, including diplomats such as Joseph Kennedy, FDR’s Ambassador to the UK, who hobnobbed with his Nazi German counterpart and conveyed that many Americans shared Germany’s anti-Semitism. …

Why is anyone shocked that a Democrat made this choice?
Democrats doing what democrats do.
IF a thousands ships with muslim terrorists landed here, obummer would welcome them all. Well, he pretty much is doing that already. How did a man with an African, muslim, amerce hating father become president. And what dis his mom see n this African?
What FDR did is deplorable. Ant Semitism is still huge n Europe and now they want to put stamps on products made ns settlements. I wonder f the stamp will say Juden
Why to never trust or vote for a Dem
The Ship of Fools
This was a well-known incident, although needless to say the press has always deified FDR and kept a lid on it as far as possible. Hitler and Stalin were pals at the time, busy dividing up Poland, and Roosevelt, good Communist that he was, didn’t want to do anything to spoil the party.
And needless to say the media, led by the NY Times, which won its first Pulitzer Prize for covering up for Stalin in Ukraine, was all on board.
I read the post. Yet they accept muslim oil. Almost comedic. Like the fruit that is running apple picking on small town pizzeria and dealing with countries that throw gays off of roofs and where women need four male witnesses to their rape
Europe has become a joke.
In a similar case the following year, passengers on the SS Quanza were allowed to disembark in Norfolk after Eleanor Rossevelt publicized their plight. I had relatives aboard.
Not to excuse FDR in the least, but I think about half the Jews who were on the ship did survive the war. They were sent back to Europe but not to Germany. Those allowed into England were lucky. Those who went to France and other countries were safe for the time being—until the Germans conquered the countries that had allowed them in.
The hypocrisy of democrats has been honed to a fine art.
The number of wealthy, high ranking, influential democrats who are anti-semites is something hypocritical democrats ignore or deny.
The same way they all profess to admire our military men and women so much in public but show their real disdain in private, in the way they vote and in the way they live their lives.
Democrats have learned that actually spitting on servicemen and women like they did at the end of the Vietnam war is bad public relations. Now they spit on them in other ways.
That was just a down payment on his subsequent internment of Japanese-American citizens.
I never heard this before, but I’m not surprised.
If Hitler just killed his own Jews and didn’t invade other counties, Wheels probably wouldn’t have had a problem with it at all.
Some Rand Paul supporters are all in supporter if Rand Paul becomes president to drop foreign aid to other counties including Israel our only close allied in the world.
Yes, they want to drop foreign aid to Israel and let Israel fend for it’s self with well funded enemies all around Israel hell bent on Israel’s destruction of..
Rand Paul : Vote of fools...
> “He therefore decided that he had to convince American voters that he was strongly “isolationist and anti-immigration.” “
And rightly so. The death camps were an unconfirmed rumor. Although witnesses appeared before FDR to attest to the camps, they were Jewish and therefore not legally a third-party confirmation. Furthermore, Hitler had allowed international inspections of selected ‘show camps’ where conditions were quite good. Although these were all lies, hindsight is 20-20.
> “He was enabled in this undertaking by his anti-Semitic advisors, including diplomats such as Joseph Kennedy, FDR’s Ambassador to the UK, who hobnobbed with his Nazi German counterpart and conveyed that many Americans shared Germany’s anti-Semitism.”
FDR was not anti-semitic. His administration had more Jewish cabinet members and advisors than any previous presidential administration in the nation’s history.
I am setting the record straight. FDR’s policies were severely flawed and against the principles of the nation’s founding. But he was a patriot with a love of his country. There were democrats in that time who put the country before themselves, but not now.
My father was a democrat. Let me clarify, he was a ***conservative democrat***, a species of democrat that no longer exists. He gave his life for his country and loved America. This was the sort of democrat that predominated during Roosevelt’s time.
And remember Ronald Reagan was at one time a democrat, a conservative democrat, also from the Roosevelt era.
Some Jews today are out to rewrite history of the Roosevelt era as one of American Anti-Semitism.
Won’t work.
They try and rewrite that Americans knew about the Nazi death camps and did nothing to stop it. They write that American military forces could have liberated the camps sooner.
Bullshit.
The camps were behind enemy lines. There were no escape routes. The genocide was rumored but unconfirmed. To liberate the camps meant first bringing the German war machine to its knees.
The American Army was in a death match with Hitler. The strategy was to bring down the German war machine. Hundreds of thousands of American men gave their lives to that effort and without their sacrifice untold numbers of more Jews and others would have been exterminated.
This attempt to rewrite history will not stand.
It’s time for these American-hating Jews to face reality and that reality is America is not going to sacrifice ALL of its blood and treasure for every injustice that exists. America is first going to survive so that it can preserve liberty for future generations of Americans. And right now Americans have their work cut out for them starting in 2016 to reclaim the principles of the original American idea. It’s not going to be easy, it never is.
