Haavara FAQs: Are you saying that Jews caused the Holocaust? Are you implying that Zionists did collaborate with the Nazis?

Are you saying that Jews caused the Holocaust?
Are you implying that Zionists did collaborate with the Nazis?

This is a classically Zionist style of conflating Judaism with Zionism when it helps them to obfuscate the facts. The evidence shows that Zionist enterprises were in real pain in the early 1930s (caused by the Great Depression), which put the Jewish Agency under severe financial stress. If nothing had changed, it would've been a matter of little time until the Jewish Agency was liquidated (The Transfer Agreement, p. 90). Therefore, during the Great Depression in the early 1930s, all Zionists' hands were on deck, and the Zionist movement faced an existential crisis. This explains why they were willing to work hand over fist with Hitler even if Zionists ended up enabling the devil. In return for Hitler bailing out Zionism, Zionists gave Nazis a helping hand by breaking up the anti-Nazi boycott.

Therefore, the Haavara Agreement was a win-win deal for both sides, and signing it with the Nazis had nothing to do with saving Jews' lives. What was tragically funny that it was Hitler was willing to ship German and Austrian Jews anywhere, even on luxury ships, until late 1941. As we shall demonstrate shortly, the evidence shows that Haavara was signed by Zionists to save themselves, and they (referring to Zionists) often risked Jews' lives whenever they were confronted with existential crises, and the Holocaust was only one of them.

Frankly, when non-Jews normalized trade, relations, or even alliances with Hitler; that was understandable especially after the Nazi occupation of Poland and France by mid-1940 (as Mufti, Vichy Government, ... etc.). Love it or hate it, that is what real politics dictates, and the policies of appeasement or open collaboration happened by most European nations including of the only anti-fascist block at the time, the Soviet Union (see the infamous Molotov-Ribbontrop Pact for details). On the other hand, Zionist leaders were FIRST to be in bed with Hitler even when appeasement policies ended up ratcheting repression against German Jews, and Haavara continued unabated even after the Nuremberg Race Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom. Therefore, Zionist leadership was the first to know that appeasing Hitler not only would've enabled him, but most importantly, appeasements made him confident, emboldened, and way more intransigent. Instead of reassessing Zionists' policies, Zionist leaders doubled down on Haavara, and not for FDR shutting down it in late 1941, this arrangement with the Nazis could have continued until war's end! Mazeltov Jews, give yourselves a big hand for this "wonderful gift" to humanity!

What is mind-boggling is that Zionists continue to defend Haavara 8 or 9 decades after the fact! We were shocked to discover that one of the founding fathers of the "Jewish state," Nahum Goldmann, came to a similar assessment after the fact; Goldmann's account of the events had incredible remorse and regrets! This wasn't an afterthought; Zionists knew the negative ramifications of their policies as they executed them during the 1930s and 40s.

Did Zionists collaborate with the Nazis?

Here is the unvarnished truth: Zionists of all shades NEVER saw the Nazis as the enemies, which explains why the majority of the Yishuv avoided fighting the Nazis to the bitter end, and defeating the Nazis was left for the Gentiles. On the other hand, when Zionist records are exmained, it became clear that Zionists' top priorities was to defleat the British White Paper of 1939, and to prepare for the upcoming war with the Arabs. Let us not forget that two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin & Yizhak Shamir, bombed allies' war efforts during WWII, and Lehi even reached for an alliance with Nazis as late as December 1941. YES, ladies and gentlemen, this happened while their families were being gassed in Poland. It should be noted that Palestinians during WWII CEASED resisting British colonization of their country, and most importantly 12,000 of them fought the Nazis!

In the technical sense, does this evidence amount to collaboration with the Nazis? Technically, no. On the other hand, we can safely say that Nazis & Zionists were NEVER enemies, and for sure Zionists' policies and actions during the 1930s and 40s helped the Nazis. In other words, the relationship between both sides was collaborative on many fronts without an open military alliance, and the credit goes to Hitler (not to Zionists), who rebuffed Lehi's partnership offer.

In the best of cases, the Zionist movement was guilty of intentional reckless endangerment. The evidence shows that Zionist leaders worked hand over fist to close all windows in a burning house, and left one single exit open (Palestine) to Europe's Jews to maximize their political gains (David Ben-Gurion referred to such a process as the LEVER that would create the Jewish state). As we have proven already, Zionist leaders made sure that Europe's Jews were left with two options: either they made Aliyah to Palestine to join the yishuv or go to Auschwitz, and lobbied feverishly like hell against any viable third alternative. Sadly, this continued even after WWII ended in the DP camps. Just in case you think our characterization is over the top, wait until reading it from ChatGPT (who framed the two options as: land or coffin), or reading it from Ben-Gurion himself when the Holocaust was in its infancy:

At the Biltmore Conference in May 1942 Ben-Gurion said: “The meaning of these two ships [Patria and Struma -- both were sunk during WWII with Jewish refugees onboard] is simple: Eretz-Israel or death-- and as soon as the war ends, many ships like these will stream to Eretz Israel.” (Beit-Zvi, p. 259)

[Two important points to keep in mind: A) When Ben-Gurion said this statement, he knew that Patria was sunk by the Haganah based on Moshe Sharett's orders in Nov. 1940 (almost 16 months earlier ). That by itself was very telling. B) The mass majority of Europe's Jewry after WWII ended immigrated to the Americas and preferred to live with the Gentiles even after Palestine was emptied of its people.]

Therefore, in practice, Zionists executed David Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech to the maximum to increase their leverage, which he articulated a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom. And when fomenting antisemitism could or might serve them, they often jumped on it with little hesitation & cheered. That is why Europe's Jews looked at them as the enemy from within, especially before their destruction during WWII. What is sad is that this reckless pattern continued at the height of the calamity, and all were fixated on Palestine to force England to open Palestine for unrestricted Jewish immigration.

Just in case you think what was written was a Palestinian anti-Zionist rant, please think twice. In Jewish communities around the world, this is an open secret. Actually, American Jews investigated Zionists' policies during the 1930s and 40s in the early 1930s, and they were quickly nixed.

Finally, let us drive our main point home: Since the Zionist movement presents itself as a "Jewish national liberation" movement, then we are forced to ask: Can you honestly name a single Nazi who wasn't pro-Zionist? Can you honestly name one Nazi who was anti-Zionist? Can you honestly name one European antisemite whom Zionist Jews (from all shades of color) didn't work hand over fist with? Here's the shortlist: Russian Tsars and their antisemitic ministers, Symon Petliura, Arthur Balfour, Winston Churchill, Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Reinhard Heydrich, Adolf Eichmann, Alfred Rosenberg, South Africa's apartheid regime, Otto Skorzeny, Argentina's military junta (see Tony Greenstein excellent research how something as Haavara was replicated in Argentina at the expense of Jewish lives, p. 190-192), Hermann Krumey, Kurt Becher, Dieter Wisliceny, the promoters of the so-called great replacement, teaming up with brown and black fascist shirt on the far-right to beat up pro-Palestine encampments, ..etc.

Much to our surprise, we discovered that West Germany's de-nazification process after WWII was in practice nothing but re-nazification (more like rebranding in marketing). We were shocked to discover this has been an open secret.

For God's sake, even those in the far-right in Europe and the US (who are fighting against critical race theory, equity & diversity) are flocking to defend their fascist buddies, are you surprised? From its inception, Zionism adopted Martin Luther's antisemitic ideology (which Hitler later adopted), and Herzl instructed his followers: antisemites will become our best allies; therefore, why should we resist them? (The Transfer Agreement p. 226 & Zionist Relations with Nazi Germany by Faris Yahya p. 9-10) Therefore, the Zionist ideology in practice is antisemitism; that's why Europe's Jews turned against it and considered Zionists The enemy from within. That is why Europe's Jews before and after WWII voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles and not to the emptied country of Palestine. That is why the Zionist leadership organized a quick airlift for Arab Jews (which was the first of its kind for so-called refugees) once their fears were confirmed that Europe's always preferred somewhere else. It is simple and stupid: where antisemitism doesn't exist; Zionists will foment it if and when they find it serving their interests.
