I am afraid that the historical revisionists can be found on this site by the truckloads. I mean those Americans who think that the US went to war in 41 to 'save the Jews' which is the most ridiculous piece of nonsense ever produced. Of course, to make them feel even better about themselves, they maintain that Jews were (and are) ALWAYS persecuted in ALL European countries. Especially Switserland is guilty, for some reason. (Huh? Never heard of concentration camps in Switserland, have you?). The fact that only one or two of all mayors of Amsterdam of the last century were non-Jews does not seem to matter (not that they would know such a fact, of course). Neither do they want to have a look at American anti-Semitism of the last Century, which was a common phenomenon. The truth is simply that anti-Semitism as a sentiment has existed all over the place. Without the Nazis, however, no nation would have dreamt of acting on those sentiments. But since the Nazis did there is no shortage of people taking on the holier-than-thou attitude. Even worse, since they are now so self-deluded in thinking that they entered WWII to save the Jews when everyone else stood by doing nothing, they conclude that they can be the moral arbiters of the present-day world and everyone in it. These people are dangerous.
Even worse, since they are now so self-deluded in thinking that they entered WWII to save the Jews when everyone else stood by doing nothing, Not so fast! Not everyone stood around "doing nothing."
Let's remember that -- according to many around here -- Hitler and the Nazis were in league with the Catholic Church where slaughter of the Jews (if not the handicapped, the mentally ill, Catholics, homosexuals and any and all who protested) were concerned.
(No lie is too egregious, no enmity too ugly when it comes to bashing the Church. And there's nothing like a Catholic-bashing thread in which to witness the Amen Corner and the Israel-firsters hunker down together for a change. The Church ... with regard to Nazis and WWII-era Totalitarianism)
The idea the United States could POSSIBLY be interested in the fate of Jews, Catholics or other undesirably swarthy or dark-skinned sorts is laughable.
Sorta flies in the face of our Scientific Racism and the sentiments of folks like our Commander in Chief ROOSEVELT:
President Roosevelt made his contribution to the on-going dialogue concerning Puerto Rico's "population problem" by jokingly telling Charles Taussig, his advisor on Caribbean affairs, "I guess the only solution is to use the methods which Hitler used effectively." It is all very simple and painless Roosevelt said--"you have people pass through a narrow passage and then there is the brrrr of an electrical apparatus. They stay there for twenty seconds and from then on they are sterile." (14)

I am afraid that the historical revisionists can be found on this site by the truckloads. I mean those Americans who think that the US went to war in 41 to 'save the Jews' which is the most ridiculous piece of nonsense ever produced. Talk about revision! This isn't revision, it's delusion. You will not find many Americans who believe that America went to war in 1941 to *save the Jews*. Factually, America could have cared less about the Jews at the time. Hitler was invading COUNTRIES and WINNING. They were well on their way to defeating England. THAT is why America went to War.
So if you have ever seen such a statement as you so erroneously began with ANYWHERE, it had to be from some nut lefty historian whose head is proverbially lacking sunshine..
Of course, to make them feel even better about themselves, they maintain that Jews were (and are) ALWAYS persecuted in ALL European countries.
They were, but it was the church which caused that particular discomfort.
Especially Switserland is guilty, for some reason. (Huh? Never heard of concentration camps in Switserland, have you?).
Uh, no. Have you ever heard of *Z*? However they had some mighty fine banks the Nazis used to hide the money they stole from the millions of people they killed and robbed, and countries they looted. You are really nuts if you don't realize that the Swiss stayed safe because they were the Nazi Bank. And the tremendous amount of money and other bootie was in large majority NOT Jewish money. The vast amounts were from every country and people the Nazis attacked and beat, except France, of course, who just laid down and rolled over. It didn't stop the Nazis from looting them though.
The fact that only one or two of all mayors of Amsterdam of the last century were non-Jews does not seem to matter (not that they would know such a fact, of course).
That doesn't bother us. Why? Does it bother you?
Neither do they want to have a look at American anti-Semitism of the last Century, which was a common phenomenon. The truth is simply that anti-Semitism as a sentiment has existed all over the place.

DUDE!!! If not for America, you would be pedaling roller skates and heiling your butt all over the place. America didn't just save Jews, America saved the WORLD. Not once, mind you, but three times.
Even worse, since they are now so self-deluded in thinking that they entered WWII to save the Jews when everyone else stood by doing nothing, they conclude that they can be the moral arbiters of the present-day world and everyone in it. These people are dangerous.
And you should thank G-d for them. For Real!
