Haavara FAQs: A collection of evidence showing how Zionists used to lobby against any safe haven for Jews except for Palestine

This page is just a repository of the evidence proving how Zionist leaders were fixated on Palestine as the only haven for Europe's Jews, and how they lobbied like hell against any third alternative. Here is our exhaustive research on this subject.

The below screenshot from a Jan. 4th, 1983 NY Times article about an investigation American Jews did of Zionists' policies and actions during the 1930s and 40s, Click the image to be redirected to the full article which triggered our research in the Haavara Agreement:

Here is what David S. Wyman wrote concerning Zionist leaders' lobbying activities against the Baldwin-Rogers bill that urged FDR to rescue Europe's Jews, which they were successful in tabling in late in 1943. Note what Rabbi Stephen Wise (who represented American Jewry at the American Jewish Conference) said to the congress: he was against the resolution because Palestine was not the destination for Europe's Jewish refugees. Keep in mind that many of those Jews who were still alive in the ghettos ended up being murdered in the next year and a half:

Here is the relevant image grabs of what David Wyman wrote on Zionists' response to the Alaska scheme plus how Rabbi Wise and Nahum Goldman confronted the Bergson Group:


for the love of God, in early 1944, Ben-Gurion & Co. refused to rescue Hungarian Jews who could've been accepted in Palestine but as refugees. Zionist leaders wanted them to have full rights from day one (see The American Zionist Lobby 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman p. 120-21, 144-45 and The Bergson Boys p. 298-299):




here is Rabbi Stephan Wise lobbying US Congress against increasing immigration quotas (concerning German Jewish children) in early 1939 four months after Kristallnacht:

Here are a couple of articles from The Jewish Chronicle in early 1944 documenting Zionists' fixation on Palestine as the ONLY haven for European Jewry. At the time this article was written, the last million and a half were still alive in the ghettos. In other words, Zionists in practice left European Jewry with two options: Palestine or Auschwitz. In the article on the right, pay attention to how David Ben-Gurion regretted accepting partitioning Palestine during the Peel Commission of 1937, and as of 1944, he wanted it all. Meaning that talk of accepting partition three years later was only a ruse and the idea of Greater Israel was always present:

When the British suggested the former German colony of Namibia as safe haven for Jews after Kristallnacht, Zionist leaders in the US were up in arms (Politics of Rescue, p. 44):

Soon after the Nazis occupied Poland in late October 1939, FDR proposed the "Supplemental Jewish Homeland" to solve the Jewish refugee crisis that sidestepped Palestine (an idea that was started by President Hoover a few years earlier), and Zionists were up in arms against it. You would think that at least Zionists had contemplated FDR's proposal! On the contrary, they fought it with tooth and nail (Politics of Rescue, p. 85-86, and more details on p. 102 to 109):


When the State Department attempted to find a haven for Europe's Jews in the December 1940s, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Nahum Goldmann used their same old tactic (weaponizing antisemitism) to discourage the settlement of Jews in Latin America who told the State Department employees that their activities: "might energize the anti-Semitic feelings" (as if Palestinians were so welcoming of more Jewish immigrants), see Politics of Rescue, p. 101:

A similar response happened when Great Britain promoted British Guiana as a haven for European Jewry; Zionists ripped it apart and were terrified that it would divert funds from their colonization activities in Palestine:


To further prove how Zionist leaders were cynically criminal, here's an excellent case in point. Rabbi Stephen Wise lobbied the State Department to grant entry visas to his buddies (officials in the World Jewish Congress) from Nazi-occupied territories, while at the same time he was also lobbying to further restrict immigration quotas into the US (see Politics of Rescue, p. 145-146, and 131). Remind us, please, how many Jews were murdered unnecessarily because of Zionists' policies? Who speaks for the dead?

Here is the relevant portions of a blog post at the Times of Israel by Ariel Lekaditis who proclaims himself a Zionist:



Here is what Wikipedia has to say how Zionists behaved during the Evian Conference:

Here is how Aviva Halamish described Zionist leaders' response during the Evian Conference and after the Kristallnacht pogrom in Nov. 1938:


Here is the NY Times in July 12th, 1987 citing Ben-Gurion's official biographers on how much he "cared" about Europe's Jews before WWII who chose to immigrate to areas other than Palestine! Note that Ben-Gurion said this a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom in November 1938:

After WWII was underway in Oct. 1939, David Ben-Gurion coined his famous slogan of: we shall fight the White Paper as if Hitler isn't there, and we shall fight Hitler as if the White Paper isn't there. On paper, this slogan sounded patriotic, and it had a nice ring. On the other hand, in practice, all Zionists knew well it was complete nonsense; fighting Hitler was never even considered. Don't take our word for it, read it from the heads of the Zionist movement in the US (Nahum Goldman and Rabbi Stephen Wise) in May 1943. What both said was and still is an open secret in the Zionist movement:
Here is the Detroit Jewish Chronicle on April 23th, 1943 reporting on Jewish Agency response to Holocaust in progress (the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was in progress too). Pay attention to how Zionists' leadership of all shades were focused ONLY on Palestine as a haven for Europe's Jews; this is how they envisioned the White Paper of 1939 could be defeated. Thus, in practice, as you see below, Zionists lobbied against any third viable alternative and left Europe's Jews with two options: Palestine or Auschwitz:

Here is Wikipedia's page on the resolutions of the American Jewish Conference (AJC) in the Fall of 1943. Pay attention to how the American Jewish community voted on focusing their lobbying efforts on the creation of the "Jewish state", and to table rescue efforts. Note this happened while the last two million were alive. Here are the boring details if you care:

Here are some interesting statistics about the American Jewish Conference (AJC) and how representative it was of the American Jewish Community during WWII. The documents below claimed that American Jews were represented at a rate of either 50% or 90% (over five million). Rabbi Stephan Wise used the five million figure during one of the hearings at the US Congress in early 1944 (see the 3rd image below). Since only a few objected to the Conference's resolutions, we have every reason to believe that AJC represents a large section of American Jewry during WWII:


Here are more interesting statistics about the American Jewish Conference (AJC) from Rabbi Stephen S. Wise's and Senator Sol Bloom's presentation at the US Congress in early 1944. Notice what Senator Bloom (who was Jewish, representing the state of NY) pointed out: there was only a handful who disapproved of the resolution that called for the immediate establishment of Palestine as the Jewish national home for Jews. That said, no word was spoken about rescuing Jews who were facing destruction. At the AJC, American Jewry and Zionists were adamant that Palestine should be the ONLY destination for Europe's Jews. Again, always remember that this happened while the last two million were STILL ALIVE in the death camps, and that spoke volumes about those who cared about saving Jews' lives:

Contemplate how Raul Hilberg's characterization of this American Jewish Conference. Note that Raul's seminal work (in "The Destruction of the European Jews") was the earliest to study the Holocaust. Actually, Raul's assessment is way critical than ours, which explains why he struggled for 12 years to find a publisher. It seems that the Zionists' Ministry of Truth was hard at work:

And here too starting from page 1210-11:

Now, contemplate how Henry L. Feingold's characterization of the American Jewish Conference (in the Politics of Rescue, starting from the end of page 237) and its leaders' attacks on the Bergson Groups during the peak of the calamity. Pay attention to where their eyes were laser-focused! Rescuing Jews wasn't one of them. As Raul Hilberg pointed out earlier, rescue was an afterthought. This speaks volumes:

Here is how Lenni Brenner described American Jewry's behavior before and during the Holocaust. We could not believe it until we managed to track every single citation, especially to those in "Jews in Action" group. As you contemplate what Lenni wrote, keep in mind the Rabbis' march on DC was the only protest at the nation's capital during WWII. In depth, we have addressed this passivity in more details in another section. Once you're done, keep scrolling for Haim Greenberg's article of Feb 1943:

Here is how Haim Greenberg (one of the biggest Zionist American intellectuals) makes Mr. Brenner's earlier assessment, but with one major difference: the timing. Mr. Greenberg wrote his famous article just a few months after the Holocaust became known (here is the full article if you wish to read it); here is more about it from Prof. Aaron Berman, Beit-Zvi covered it in his book, and here is another by David Wyman. Note how described American Jewry as "morally bankrupt"; but hang on to your seat. If you care here is the PDF the below page was scanned from on page 46:

Here is Lenni Brenner citing Haim Greenberg:

What was tragic was that when the State Department attempted to find a haven for Europe's Jews in the December 1940s, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Nahum Goldman used their same old tactic (weaponizing antisemitism) to discourage the settlement of Jews in Latin America and told the state department employees that their activities: "might energize the anti-Semitic feelings" (as if Palestinians were so welcoming of more Jewish immigrants), see Politics of Rescue, p. 101:

Here is scan from Aaron Berman's book showing how Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver was against bombing the death camps PLUS the railroads leading to them in the Fall of 1943; perhaps sooner. This happened during the American Jewish Conference when American Jewry voted to table lobbying rescuing Europe's Jews (unless the destination was ONLY Palestine) in favor of focusing their efforts on creating their "Jewish state". YES, this fake valor happened when the last two million were alive. For their sake, let us hope that the 6 million were worth it; mazeltov. Jews (especially those in America), please give yourselves a BIG hand:

Here is a classic example of Zionist gaslight works, which made it to the AI world! We asked Google AI and ChatGPT: Why the Jewish Agency suppressed news of the Holocaust during WWII? Pay attention to Google AI's gaslight by omitting critical data that would completely change the framing of events as if it is a complete replica of Zionists' Hasbarah: A) YES, the Jewish Agency was for rescuing Europe's Jews but ONLY to Palestine. Thus, was it rescuing Jews or feeding the inferno, dear AI? B) YES, the Jewish Agency spoke of the Holocaust, but AI didn't say when. For the record, the Jewish Agency of Holocaust ONLY after the Western public (not world Jewry) was outraged after the Auschwitz Protocols were released in late June 1944. Actually, as of June 12^th, 1944, the Jewish Agency was against bombing the death camps and the railroads leading to them. That said, still what Google AI disclosed exposed was very damning: Zionists during WWII promoted anti-Jewish policies to further their Zionist political goal: creating the "Jewish state", and that by itself is the accurate definition of antisemitism. Although ChatGPT initially answered exactly as Google reported, much to our surprise, it changed its mind after little probing. That is how fragile the Zionist narrative is. Anyhow, for history's sake, here is our chat if you care for the details:

Here is NY Times citing its editor, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, in Oct. 1946 describing Zionists' policies towards the Jews who lingered in the in the DP camps after WWII ended. Click the image for the boring details about this little known subject:

Therefore, in practice, American Jewish and Zionist leaders executed David Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech to the maximum to increase their political leverage, which Ben-Gurion articulated a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom. We believe it is worthwhile watching Peter Bergson for two and half minutes talking about the Rabbis' march (the only protest by Jews in DC during WWII), the obstacles they faced from Zionists (which he referred to as "monkey wrenches"), how the Bergson Boys lobbied to rescue Europe's Jews in the US Congress, and most importantly how Zionists fought his group with tooth and nail because they didn't advocate saving Europe's Jews ONLY to Palestine. Make sure to watch Mr. Bergson to the last second and remember this happened when the last million and a half were alive: 

When we say Zionists' treason is an open secret in Jewish communities, we meant it:
