You confirmed again, in your own words, that the Jews deserved to be denied a port of refuge by Roosevelt and sent back to Europe. There is no need to be insulting and claim to be a friend. Own your words and await the verdict.

Of course, that's not what I said, not even once.
But I "get" that you wish to play stupid, because you think you've designed such a clever word trap that you'd rather look dumb than admit you're wrong.

So let me say it, yet again: if you & I could set the policy, those passengers would be admitted, because we know how it all turned out.
But US law at the time did not allow it, and I do not blame President Roosevelt for, unlike our current president, faithfully enforcing US laws.
