Haavara FAQs: When Zionists negotiated and implemented Haavara with Hitler for 7 to 9 years starting from 1933, were they motivated by the urgency to "save" German Jews?

When Zionists negotiated & implemented Haavara with Hitler for 9 years straight, were they motivated by the urgency to "save" German Jews? 

• Let's assume we can judge the past from the present, and "Haavara was done to save lives,"
• Let's use loaded words such as "save" or "rescue" to describe events before the calamity happened, and
• Let's pretend Hitler wasn't willing to ship German Jews anywhere, even on luxury ships, until late 1941, and
• Let's judge Zionists' nonstop wheeling & dealing with Hitler as if they foresaw the Shoah, and they made the "best out of a hostage situation," then:

Suppose Ben-Gurion & Co. were so concerned with saving Jews' lives, how come David and his cohorts allocated UNDER 16% of the immigration quotas (a.k.a. Labor Certificate visa program) to poor German Jews (who couldn't qualify as Capitalists in possession of P£1,000), and prioritized other European Jews over them? Here is the data and the calculation methodology, all sourced from the British Mandate's primary sources. It should be noted those Labor Certificate immigration visas (the mechanism with which poor Jews gained entry) were grants given to Zionists by the occupying colonial power (England), and the Palestinian people never approved of those grants. Like all native peoples, Palestinians feared imminent danger from a settler colonial movement that could end up replacing and dispossessing them. 

We were shocked to discover that during the critical three years between 1933 and 1935 (when the bulk of Jewish immigration happened), two-thirds of the poor German Jews who requested immigration permits were rejected by the Jewish Agency (Abraham Margaliot, p. 559, 660 and 561-562). On top of that, Aviva Halamish (an Israeli Holocaust historian) found that A) the British Mandate made it four times easier for German Jews to immigrate, B) it was the British Mandate that demanded that 10% of all Labor Certificate visas must be allotted to German Jews (see Jewish Agency's 1933 Memorandum for the League of Nations, p.  5) and this British demand was instituted before Haavara was in the picture. Notice that the British demanded such rule because they knew well Zionists would favor other Jews who were much dedicated to Zionism (a.k.a. halutizim) than German Jewry.

Therefore, more than 9,000 German Jews (out of the total figure of 16,000 who were saved due to Labor Certificates) were saved due to British affirmative action, who would've been saved with or without Haavara, and that would drop the "saving rate" from 16% to 8%.  Thus, saving 6,000 German Jews by Zionists over seven years is a mediocre number, especially when we factor in that Romanian Jews were granted more Labor Certificates during the same period, although they weren't living in danger. The same logic applies to Greece's small Jewish community, who received a comparable Labor Certificate as the German Jewry!

Despite that the British made it four time easiler for poor German Jews to immigrate, Zionist leaders were keen to tighten the selection criteria for those poor German Jews (who weren't wealthy enough to qualify as Capitalists) compared with Eastern European Jews (read about Dr. Weizmann's cruel selection criteria that were responsible for this reduction). We wonder: Why did Zionist leaders reduce the immigration chances of German Jews by two-thirds when they knew in advance that the knives were heading their way? Is it possible that Ben-Gurion and Co. did this to reward those Jews who were more loyal to the Zionist movement (a.k.a. halutzim) and Ben-Gurion's Mapai party? (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants by Aviva Halamish, p. 126, 129, 146)

What was tragically comical was that those German Jews, who were allegedly "saved", would've been saved anyhow with or without Haavara. please don't take our word for it, see for yourself how Yad Vashem's most senior historian, Yehuda Baur, articulated our point in Jews For Sale?, p. 17. The wealthy Jews (who had P£1,000 or more) easily could have immigrated to Palestine (or other countries) based on their cash (via the Capitalist Certificates visa program), and the poor ones easily could have gained entry since the British made it much easier for German Jews to gain Labor Certificates visas (GB provided an affirmative action favoring Germany's Jews over others).

Here is another fun fact: we've found that 246,000 German Jews (who were primarily penniless by then) left Germany within Haavara's seven years of life (59% of them left in under 10 months in 1939). Once we excluded those who went to Palestine, that was over 14 times what Zionists have allotted to head of households Labor Certificate visas to German Jews (see Jews For Sale? by Yehuda Baur, p. 17, 35). Based on the earlier facts and logical arguments, we are forced to ask: If Zionist leaders were "keen" on saving German Jews, why did they provide poor German Jews with a few Labor Certificates over eight years? Did Zionist leaders have cynical motives for providing as few Labor Certificates as possible? Here is another fun fact: close to 80% of German and Austrian Jewry were saved, and Haavara played ZERO role in saving, here is our math all sourced from Yad Vashem.

How when Zionist leaders adopted such a policy (based on collaboration or appeasement with Nazis instead of confrontation), it wasn't much worse since it entailed a prior knowledge of a genocide to come, and they (meaning Zionists) chose to enable and appease the devil anyhow? This gaslight of an argument is comical when it's known that Zionists did very little beforehand to soothe the calamity! Much to our surprise, Nahum Goldmann (one of the founding fathers of the "Jewish state") reached the same conclusion, but sadly he documented his remorse and regrets couple of decades way after the fact. Irrespective of isolated boycott campaigns, love it or hate it: the majority of Jews (especially Zionists) adopted a policy of appeasement instead of confronting European antisemites! Based on our research, Trotskyist Jews were the only ones who had clear anti-fascist policies from day one. Love it or hate it; that is the honest truth which continues to be true to this date.

When the German currency was on its knees in the summer of 1933 (before Haavara was signed), and the Nazi economy was teetering, you would think Zionist leaders helped tighten the noose around Nazis' knecks? On the contrary, Zionist leaders quickly convened an emergency meeting to see how they could stabilize the Reichsmark and to avert a disaster for the Nazis and themselves (The Transfer Agreement, p. 253).

Do you think Zionist leaders were kind enough to GRANT even one immigration certificate to any of those DAMNED passengers on MS St. Louis Ship in June 1939? Then you are onto a big surprise!

If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, would you think they allocated any monies (from their budget) to fund rescuing Jews during WWII? Not only were ZERO pennies allocated from the Jewish Agency's budget, but they even refused to allocate any funds from Zionist enterprises (who mainly were funded by revenues generated via the Haavara Agreement for a decade) at the height of the calamity! You won't believe it until you read Wikipedia, quoting the head of the so-called United Rescue Committee (here is a saved image just in case it will be taken down; guess who hand-picked the gang of four and kept them there during WWII, although they did the opposite of rescue?). Pay attention to what Wikipedia wrote about his Kapo son, much of whom used to be Zionist activists (Dan Porat - p. 48). It should be noted that much of JNF's funds came directly from Haavara (actually, JNF was almost bankrupt not for Haavara due to the Great Depression), and nothing, as far as we know, was allocated from its budget to rescue Jews. Rescue funds (if any were ever used to save Jews) came from other sources (i.e., either from JDC, who represented wealthy Jews, or direct donations from Jews worldwide) and not from Zionists' enterprises, which were enriched tremendously because of the British war efforts in Palestine (profits tripled as of 1944).

To add salt to injury, we've found that 3/4 of the rescue fund was diverted away from actually rescuing Jews for the sake of building the state. Once you read how much Zionist leaders allocated (from what was collected, not from Zionists' resources & enterprises) to rescue Europe's Jews at the height of the calamity, well, you might lose your religion. You've been warned; here are the boring details from a primary source. A hint: What was spent is only half of what was allocated; what happened to the other half? From what was allocated, how much was spent on rescuing Jews to countries other than Palestine? Big fat zero!

To add more salt to injury, a few years later, in early 1948 the Jewish Agency made a $4 million commitment (a.k.a. a bribe loan) to King Abdullah of Transjordan to sideline his opposition to the new state (see Simha Flapan, p. 138), and that was almost a million P£ at that time. To put things into perspective, that was 150% of what the Jewish Agency spent on rescuing Jews (P£669k) during the Holocaust. Now, allow this fact to sink in for a minute, and think how Jews' lives (in dollar figures) were valued by the yishuv! Well, love it or hate it, now we have a baseline to compare with how Jewish lives were valued!

To prove what rescuing Europe's Jewry meant to Zionists in the 1930s and 40s, we urge you to read how David Ben-Gurion's biographer, Shabtai Teveth, described how Zionists' Ministry of Truth created a kind of newspeak language, where words such as rescue had negative connotations, which sheds light on Zionists' mindset during WWII!

Like the concepts "disaster" and "destruction," "rescue," too, took on new meaning. In Zionist thinking, the word rescue had always carried a negative connotation, as it was taken to mean the antithesis of redemption -- the code word for Zionism's ideal --implying that there were solutions to the Jewish problem other than Palestine, or that individual distress could be alleviated while ignoring the problem of the people as a whole. Ben-Gurion considered such rescue as something that undermined Zionism; it was the duty of every Zionist to reject this temptation at all costs. He gave the highest priority to a rescue that would function as a lever to advance the Zionist cause and as a source of strength. In November 1935 he had said,
Our movement will be doomed unless it exerts the greatest effort to salvage the absolute maximum of Jewish assets for Palestine, in the absolute minimum of time ... To the disaster of German Jewry we must offer a Zionist response, namely, we must convert the disaster into a source for the upbuilding of Palestine, we must save both the lives and the property of German Jewry for Palestine's sake. This rescue takes priority over all else. (The Burning Ground by Shabtai Teveth, p. 854)

In a nutshell, Zionist leaders worked hand over fist to close all windows and doors in a burning house, and they left one exit (Palestine) to Europe's Jews to maximize their political gains to defeat the White Paper of 1939. Actually, David Ben-Gurion referred to such a process as the LEVER that would create the "Jewish state". Ironically, Ben-Gurion used to refer to saving Jews outside of Palestine as more like "Witch Doctor's Medicine"! In layman's terms, those Jews who saved themselves in countries other than Palestine were doomed anyhow, therefore, that was a waste of resources and money. As will be proven shortly, 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 evil policy 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.]

When the Russian Tsar started persecuting the Russian Jewish community in the early 1900s, you would think Zionist leaders at the time were quick to approve a rescue scheme. Oddly, that is exactly what happened. The founder of the Zionist movement, Theodor Herzl, quickly lobbied the Zionist Congress, which approved his proposal (by a significant margin) in Basel on August 26, 1903. Herzl even managed to gain British approval to colonize Uganda. That said, the founders of the "Jewish state" (i.e., David Ben-Gurion, Chaim Weizmann, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, ... etc.) quickly torpedoed the Uganda Scheme after Herzl died in 1904, which had the potential of saving millions if it succeeded. Ever since the Uganda Scheme, Zionist leaders of all shades resisted any rescue scheme EXCEPT for Palestine. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if Herzl hadn't died early on, Israel might have been created in Uganda and not in "empty" Palestine!

By mid-1943, it became clear to the yishuv (especially in the Histadrut's leadership) that little was being done to rescue Europe's Jews, the Jewish Agency Executive (JAE) said it in plain English: we are not in the business of rescue; we are in the business of building a state, implying that rescue efforts are the responsibility of other Jewish organizations! On the other hand, the JAE insisted on hoarding as much of the rescue funds as possible to make sure the money would be spent on the future state to be! Thus in practice, literally Europe's Jews were left high and dry! When the records and the budget were examined, it became crystal clear: spending any penny on rescuing Jews outside of Palestine rendered the whole Zionist project mute! Therefore, un-saving those unfortunate Jews, in practice, was good for Zionism! That would explain how and why much of the rescue budget was diverted to building the state to be, wouldn't it? Inspect the case of War Refugee Board and see for yourself how Zionist leaders fought it with tooth and nail! To Zionist leaders' chagrin, up to 200,000 Jews were saved! From the Zionists' point of view, 20 million dollars were diverted from their pool of funds!

As Hitler rose to power and persecution of German Jews increased, Australia, the Soviet Union, and Japan offered to resettle German Jews. You would think Zionists welcomed such generous proposals? On the contrary, they were vehemently against:

But the Australian, Russian, and Manchurian settlement opportunities were rejected by the Zionist Organization. Resettlement meant further dispersion and little more than another scenario for persecution, as Jews would again become guests of a host nation. A return to their own land in Palestine constituted the only end to centuries of catastrophic nomadism.

The Zionist stance made it clear: Palestine or nothing. Now or never. (The Transfer Agreement, p. 260).

If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, as we've assumed, you would not think they could lobby Nazis to make Palestine the only destination for German Jewish wealth existing in Germany? To prove how the German Jewish wealth (valued at 10-12 billion Reichsmarks which was more than Mefo bills' total size as of mid-1938) was front and center on the minds of Zionists when Hitler rose to power, Zionists lobbied the Nazis to make sure that if German Jews wished to save their wealth, then their wealth must be invested in Zionist communal enterprises in Palestine (where the capital would be locked for decades in the form of bonds):

The attitude of the Histadrut officials was typical of Mapai leadership and their allies, who saw the wealth of German Jews as the most precious hostage held by the Third Reich. As part of this thinking, Georg Landauer and the ZVfD fought for German regulations that would prevent German Jews from saving their wealth by any means other than investing it in Palestine.
Landauer recommended that ZVfD certification of emigrants be contingent upon purchasing land in Palestine, extending a loan to Nir [some Zionist communal enterprise], or participating in any approved Palestinian investments. Landauer's words: "therefore I would like to suggest that Emigrant Advisory Office....receive instructions whereby emigrant applications based on contracts with Palestinian colonization companies [better known as the Jewish Colonization Trust Ltd.] receive priority status" (The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black, p. 258-59).

Just in case you make the mistake of thinking that German Jews were left with much after being milked (by Nazis and Zionists), then think twice. Only a fraction of the liquidated assets were available in cash; here are boring details.

If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders as we've assumed, you would not think they objected against similar schemes (as Haavara) that saved five times as many within less than two years (not seven years as Haavara)? It should be noted that between 1938-39, a minimum of 250,000 German and Austrian Jews emigrated, and over 90% of them left without Haavara saving them! (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35), well, here are the boring details! Who should take credit for "saving" five times as much within 18 months (not seven years)? The Eichmann & Co. who terrorized those German Jews into leaving before murdering them? Watch Eichmann for two minutes using this argument in his defense at his trial in the early 1960s. Or the countries who received them penniless despite Zionists' objections! We wonder why Zionist Jews would ever object to saving other Jews (irrespective of the location) at a time of need? For the love of God, Hitler volunteered to ship Jews anywhere, at his own expense, until late 1941?

If saving Jews was paramount to Zionist leaders, you would think Zionist leaders worked hand over fist with Great Britain to facilitate and expedite German Jews' departure after the Kristallnacht pogrom! Not only did Zionists attempt to scuttle such a scheme, but most importantly, Zionists were up in arms when the British suggested former German colonies (referring to Namibia which had the Herero Genocide by Germany two decades earlier) as a haven for German Jewish refugees (Politics of Rescue, p. 44). What was tragically criminal was how David Ben-Gurion, the founder of the "Jewish state," wished death upon the 10,000 Jewish kids who were saved a month after the pogrom! Not only didn't Ben-Gurion retract his infamous antisemitic statement, but the Jewish leadership, to this date, has never condemned Ben-Gurion's blatant antisemitism. To add salt to injury, Ben-Gurion never thanked the British people for their generosity and quick response. On the other hand, Albert Einstein and his friends at Princeton University were quick to do so! It is worth noting that David's antisemitic statement was translated into a policy during WWII. Zionists lobbied hard to close off any possible haven except for Palestine. Are these behaviors of leaders who cared about the plight of Europe's Jews? It should be noted that this figure (ten thousand saved) is almost as much as what Haavara allegedly "saved" (if any) not in a month but in seven years of normalization with Hitler! Well, if you care, here are the boring details.

To get into Zionists' minds to understand why they have implemented such a policy (of focusing ONLY on Palestine as the haven for Jew), we have to ask: what if rescuing Jews was successful and much of the Holocaust was avoided, wouldn't saving Europe's Jews would have rendered the Zionist project mute? In depth, we have addressed that in another section.

If a genocide was a possibility and Zionists were able to foresee it almost a decade before it happened, then why did Zionist and Jewish organizations insist that Jewish refugees should only be directed toward Palestine? Why did Zionists lobby against opening any other safe havens? You would think while Zionists were busy marketing Nazi goods all over the Middle East & North Africa, they bothered themselves to secure safe havens for Europe's Jews! Of course not. Is it possible that increasing Jewish suffering was used as the lever (by creating a refugee crisis using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology), which could force England to open Palestine for unfettered Jewish immigration? (NY Times, Jan. 4th, 1983, Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants by Aviva Halamish, p. 128-9, & The American Zionist Lobby, 1943-1945 by Aaron Berman, p. 140-41). If you have the time, please contemplate reading Zionists' presentation to the US Committee on Foreign Affairs in early 1944 (yes, before the last million were murdered); nothing whatsoever was told about saving Jews anywhere EXCEPT for Palestine (see David Wyman's assessment during this period). Oddly, it was Professor Philip Khouri Hitti of Princeton University (YES, the Gentile Arab) who was one of a handful who dared to ask US lawmakers to open American gates to save Europe's Jews! What was even more tragic was that Zionists' agitation in support of the creation of the "Jewish state" (starting from the 2nd half of 1943) was so reckless and dangerous to the war efforts to the point that it prompted the British and the Americans to contemplate walking away from Zionism by reversing the Balfour Declaration in July 1943 (see what Peter Grose wrote on this little known subject, p. 178-9, and see how Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver treated President Truman on p. 229).

It should be noted that Palestine was enshrined in Haavara as the ONLY destination for German Jews. As we pointed out earlier, Zionists lobbied Nazis to make Palestine the only destination if German Jews wished to retain much of their assets! (51 Documents, p. 49, The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 98, & The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black, p. 258-59, and Jewish Daily Bulletin Sept 3rd, 1933) You might ask yourself: Did this fixation on Palestine (as the ONLY destination for Jews) continue even at the height of the calamity and AFTER WWII ended in the DP camps? Here are the boring details. Remind us, please: How many Jews were murdered due to Haavara? Excuse our typo, we meant: How many Jews were "saved" due to Haavara? Only in the Zionist mind saving lives are equated with intentional reckless endangerment!

When the largest gathering of American Rabbis marched in Washington, DC (which was the only protest by Jews in DC during WWII), to lobby President FDR to rescue Europe's Jews at the height of the calamity, you would think Zionist leaders closed ranks with them? You would think they had moved heaven and earth to save Jews' lives. Not only they did not join them, but most importantly, they weaponized Americans' fear of stirring up antisemitism to scare FDR from receiving them. What was low (very low) was that Zionist leaders attempted to appeal to FDR's racist instinct by reminding him that those Rabbis were low-class who had recently immigrated from Eastern Europe! Does this explain why most Jewish religious establishments petitioned the UN against the creation of the "Jewish state" in late 1947? Remind us again: how many Jews were murdered because of such policies and actions during WWII? Let us focus on those who were "allegedly saved"; that is much easier to tally! Pay attention that the same tactic has been employed against Palestinians for the past nine decades! Some old habits die hard! If you are interested in the boring details (as if Wikipedia wasn't good enough), here are more details from primary sources.

If saving Jews consumed Zionists during WWII, would you think they did anything meaningful to fight the Nazi and other fascist forces? What was tragically comical was that Zionist leaders made sure that their boys would see tiny itsy-bitsy of action(s) at war's end, and by far ten thousand times more Indians, Muslims & Arabs fought and died saving real lives compared with the impostering heroes of the so-called Yishuv. (The Seventh Million, p. 83-4, 86-89 & 113, see also JVL) Zionist leadership was keen that their boys wouldn't be wasted in any side meaningless battles (like the meat grinders on the Libyan, Tunisian & Italian fronts) and to save them against their real enemy: Those Indigenous Arabs (The Seventh Million, p. 113). To put things into perspective, a couple of years after WWII ended,  Zionist leaders deployed more than twenty times as much to fight their real enemy: Those "Evil Arabs" who now replaced Nazis & Fascists. On the other hand, those antisemitic Europeans (who murdered millions of Jews whose graves were still fresh) quickly got a free pass just a few years after the Shoah ended. Don't you find it odd how every European nation eagerly voted for partitioning Palestine in late 1947, and of course, bygones became the bygones? Please don't take our word for it; here are the boring details from Zionist and Israeli sources. Only in the Zionist mind did Zionist Jews become Warsaw Ghetto Uprising heroes who defended Jewish honor! Only in the Zionist mind can the coward easily become the hero. OK, enough with the sarcasm; quickly quiz yourself, and if you answer correctly, you will get a nice prize: 

A) How many so-called Yishuv were killed while fighting Nazis, vs. Yishuv who were killed while fighting Arabs just 2-3 years after WWII ended! Now compare those with the Yishuv who got killed during the battle of Latrun!
B) How many so-called Yishuv were killed while fighting Nazis vs. Arabs (including Palestinian, Jordanian, and North African Arabs) who were killed while fighting Nazis too?
C) How many so-called Yishuv were deployed (not just enlisted) and saw action while fighting Nazis, vs. Arabs who were deployed and saw action while fighting Nazis too?
D) How many so-called Yishuv were decorated while fighting Nazis, vs. Arabs who were decorated while fighting Nazis too?

Note that on purpose, we omitted South Asian Muslims and non-Zionist Jews who served honorably at most meat grinders within the Allies' armies (especially in the Soviet Army); otherwise, the comparison would not be fair at all!

If Jews' lives were endangered and saving them was paramount to Zionists, you would think they worked hand over fist with the Dominican Republic, who accepted to receive 100k German Jews (see Evian Conference for more details). On the contrary, the evidence shows that Zionists did the exact opposite by discouraging any German Jewish emigration except to Palestine! (Evian Conference's page at Wikipedia, The Transfer Agreement, p. 377 & The Jewish Trail of Tears, p. 147-150) What was odd was how Edwin Black didn't even allude to Peru's & Dominican Republic's offers to receive German and Austrian Jews and portrayed Palestine as the ONLY available and viable destination (The Transfer Agreement, p. 377). This big of a lie is widely spread among Jewish historians (especially the Zionist ones; here is the proof if you are interested). On this note, we would like to point out that often, the mainstream media paints the Evian conference as a failure. Based on our detailed research, this conclusion cannot be further from the truth. Here is a hint: The Evian Conference wasn't intended to solve the Jewish refugees crisis; it was designed to change public perception to become receptive to taking in all types of refugees. Here are the boring details.

It should be emphasized that as of 1939, Latin America alone had already absorbed close to 100,000 German Jews, and that was larger than what the US took in during the same period (Simone Gigliotti, p. 24-5). If you are interested in the details, we urge you to examine what Beit Zvi wrote in Chapter 9 (see Post Uganda: Zionism On Trial, p. 211-240; pay attention to Charles J. Rosenbloom's article at the end of p. 222). To dig further into Zionists' mindset at the time, we ask you again to contemplate Ben-Gurion's reaction when he heard that Great Britain would accept 10,000 German Jewish children refugees a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom; here are the boring details. Just in case you are curious, here is how Zionists responded to the Alaska scheme that aimed to resettle thousands of European Jews in Alaska during the same period.

When the Nazis occupied half of Poland in Oct. 1939 (the other half was left to Stalin), the Jewish population under Nazi control increased by seven to eight folds overnight. Such a fact terrified the FDR administration since it signaled an imminent refugee crisis that dwarfed what anyone had imagined a year earlier (at the Evian Conference), which prompted policymakers to come up with a solution. In late October, 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 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). A similar response happened when Great Britain promoted British Guiana as a haven for European Jewry; Zionists ripped it apart who were terrified that it would divert funds from their colonization activities in Palestine. 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.

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 (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?

Since the Holocaust wasn't in the picture until the fall of 1941, is it possible that lobbying to close all possible safe havens had pushed Hitler to explore "extreme solutions" that he avoided for nine years? How such a policy didn't make the "final solution" inevitable! As late as August 1940, Hitler was contemplating shipping Jews to Madagascar! You would think Jews attempted to investigate this decision and its ramifications. Well, they did, but it was nixed early on. (NY Times, Jan. 4th, 1983) Are you surprised it was nixed? God forbid, that can't be a Zionist conspiracy, can it?

Now it is time to ask: what if the six million were saved, how saving Europe's Jewry could have impacted the Zionist project?

If Zionist leadership's intention was all about saving Jewish lives, would you not think they argued for boycott and anti-boycott simultaneously? As Haavara was being negotiated in mid-1933, they threatened the Nazis by scuttling another similar deal (i.e., Haavara V1.0 with Sam Cohen, who was a Revisionists sympathizer) if the Nazis would not go along with their scheme? God forbid, would Zionists hijack the same argument (of saving Jews) to argue for boycotting Nazi goods and against it simultaneously, depending on their interests? (The Transfer Agreement, p. 231, Jews For Sale?, p. 16) What is tragically funny is that Zionist leaders used this argument again to arm-twist Nazis after the German economy fully recovered in 1936, and the Nazis' Reichsbank reply was: Go ahead, as we see it, you need Haavara far more than we do! (Jews For Sale?, p. 16) By the way, if an Aryan spoke as such to Nazi officials at the time, he or she would have gotten a visit (maybe a spanking and invitation to Dachau, too) from either the SS or the Gestapo! Anyhow, the same gaslight of an argument was replicated with anti-Semitic Austrians (pre-Anschluss) who were threatened with a boycott if they didn't comply with Zionists' demands. However, the timing coincided with Zionists breaking up the anti-Nazi boycott, which minimized their bargaining power! (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 104) Only in the Zionists' minds the same argument (boycott) and its anti could be simultaneously articulated and justified, and in both cases, saving Jews' lives is weaponized as THE tool! How Jews consume this garbage is still a mystery! Are they willing accomplices? What has been written wasn't sourced from Palestinian, anti-Zionist, or even anti-Semitic Hasbarah books or blogs; we directly sourced the data from Zionist & Israeli sources. A lot was scanned to make it handy!

We hate to keep re-emphasizing Yehuda Baur's earlier point. Mr. Baur made a very compelling argument: many of those who immigrated to Palestine from Germany (especially those who immigrated via the Capitalist Visa program) could've easily done so via the Labor Certificate visa program (Jews For Sale?, p. 17, 35). Thus, even if Palestine wasn't their destination and its gates were completely shut in the 1930s-40s, those who immigrated to Palestine in the 1930s from Germany (especially those who used the Capitalist Visa program) could've easily immigrated to other areas that would've welcomed them with much fewer restrictions on capital requirements. In a nutshell, countries didn't object to Jews per se; many welcomed them as long they had the cash. Such immigration policy was a common practice, especially after the Great Depression. Sadly to this date, many Jews still conflate many nations' anti-immigration policies with antisemitism, which is completely wrong. In the case of Palestinians, they feared replacement and they made that clear on multiple occasions, and their objections to Jewish immigration had nothing to do with antisemitism. It is unfair and unjust to expect Palestinians to approve of those who openly plotted to replace them.

Despite Haavara, still the mass majority of German Jews during the 1930s voted with their feet and immigrated to areas other than Palestine (yes, they preferred to live with the Gentiles, which continues to this date). They still did that although German Jewry paid a hefty Reich Flight Tax, to which Haavara had limited exposure. Another important fact, which is often overlooked, is that two-thirds of the German Jews who immigrated to Palestine were able to do so because of the occupying power, England, which overruled Palestinians' objections at great risk to its blood and treasure. You would think Zionists appreciated such a gesture! On the contrary, two of Israel's future PMs, Menachem Begin and Yizhak Shamir, bombed the Allies' war efforts during WWII while their families were being gassed in Poland. Therefore, the credit goes to the occupying power and not to the impostering heroes (a.k.a. the Yishuv) who cared the least about "saving" Jews' lives and, above all, who did the obsolete minimum to fight the Nazis! On the other hand, we admit it: Zionists were way ahead of their time, taking heroic selfies at the front! Mazeltov dear Zionist Jews; now give yourselves a big hand!

You would think Zionists had contemplated Adolf Eichmann's offer to save a million Jews a few years after Haavara ended in late 1941 (see Joel Brand & The Seventh Million). Eichmann's offer wasn't even considered! Is it possible it wasn't considered: A) since Eichmann's offer contained zero financial incentives? Or B) since the offer required payment of 10,000 winterized trucks & other provisions? Or C) because "the would-be saved Jews" were penniless and weren't guaranteed to immigrate to Palestine? D) What if the British Mandate guaranteed those Hungarian Jews the right of citizenship (not refugee status) in Palestine? Do you've any doubt that Zionist leaders would've moved heaven and earth to make a deal (as they did 11 years earlier when Zionists signed Haavara with Hitler in 1933)? Wasn't that exactly the LEVER (i.e., exploit a refugee crisis) that Ben-Gurion often spoke of for years?

To get an idea of how Zionists reacted to Adolf Eichmann’s offer, you have to read Joel Brand's account of how Jewish Agency's (the "Jewish state" body before Nakba) heads treated him with contempt & indifference (zero urgencies); it was chilling to read on Wikipedia (pay attention to section May to October 1944; see also Beit-Zvi's take as well). Please keep in mind that one of the most tragic moments during the Holocaust was the deportation of the Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in 1944. What was ironic was that Zionist leaders in mass refused to rescue those poor souls, even to Palestine, but under the status of refugees. Zionists insisted that Jewish refugees must have full political rights on day one. Zionist leaders fought tooth and nail to torpedo such a resolution in the US Congress; you won't believe it until you read the boring details (Aaron Berman, p. 118-123 and The Bergson Boys, p. 298 - 299). The treason was repeated sooner after on July 2^nd, 1944 by David Ben-Gurion when the War Refugee Board (WRB) suggested shipping some of the same Jews to Libya; Zionists strongly objected.

What is tragically funny about this fact is that Israel received over a million immigrants after the Soviet Union collapsed, were 70% of those were not even Jewish! Now, do you understand how Joel Brand's mission was torpedoed and his mission was leaked to the British press? Would you be surprised if it were Zionists who leaked Joel's mission to the press? Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl seems to have a similar story for those curious.

Let us do a little of Kapos' math using Dr. Kastener's methodology:

How does justifying the Haavara Agreement way after the fact doesn't resemble Dr. Rudolf Kastner's defense (for what happened on Kapos' chief infamous train) but at a much larger scale?

-How Kastner's deceptions and lies (to 437,000 Hungarian Jews about their fate who were the last batch to go to Auschwitz) justify "saving" the selected few (himself, his closest family members, Zionist friends, and other wealthy 1,600 Jews)!

-In a similar fashion, Zionist leaders "foresaw" the calamity and spoke of the Holocaust in the past tense before it happened, so-called "they felt helpless, defenseless, wanted to make the best out of a bad situation" of course, fomented antisemitism to accelerate the calamity, they stayed quiet about it during the war by suppressing & downplaying & it in the Zionist and American presses, diverted 7/8th of the rescue fund to build the state ahead of its time, weaponized Jewish refugees' pain & suffering (in the displaced persons --D.P.-- camps) as a LEVERAGE after WWII was concluded to achieve political gains and to save face they made a mediocre contribution to fight the Nazis at war's end. YES, ladies and gentlemen, Zionists "saved" 53,000 out of 6 million; much of whom would have been saved with or without Haavara (see Jews For Sale?, p. 17)! Mazeltov, Zionist Jews, give yourselves a big hand!

-What a heroic accomplishment! Both (Kastner and Zionists) were two sides of the same coin, and most importantly, both survived the Holocaust and painted themselves as the heroes. On the other hand, if they died (which could have been a real possibility if Rommel made it to Palestine, especially with the British defeat in Greece and Crete coupled with Vichy's presence in Syria and Lebanon), then both would've been portrayed as a traitor (Kapos). Ask yourself: those who survived Kastner's Train were thankful, but who speaks for the dead? Oddly, the Palestinian is speaking for the dead!

-Ironically, the earlier viable scenario (about both Ben-Gurion and Kastner) was exactly what happened to their fellow Polish Zionist activist Chaim Rumkowski, who was killed by other Jews in Auschwitz (pay attention to how Wikipedia still hides the fact that Chaim was a Zionist activist like Kastner). Both abused the concept of "saving lives" to not only deflect away from their treason, but also to show off their "heroism"!

-On the subject of Kastner's Train, we are compelled to ask: How Ben-Gurion's infamous antisemitic hate speech (when he incited the murder of German Jewish children a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom) wasn't much worse than Rumkoski's "give me your children" speech which he made during WWII in Lodz's Ghetto? The only difference was the little luck that Rommel didn't make it to Palestine, little timing, place, four years, and how both died. It should be noted that what consumed Zionist leadership during the critical years of 1942 and 1943 wasn't confronting the threats from the Nazis or how to save Europe's Jews. On the contrary, what consumed them was how to garner political support for the creation of their "Jewish state", especially in the US during the Biltmore and the American Jewish Conferences. This policy continued even after the end of the war, for more details, please read what Peter Grose wrote, p. 168.

-To add salt to injury, the Jewish Agency sent Dr. Kastner to the Nuremberg Trails to defend genocidal Nazis (Adolf Eichmann's aids, chief among them are the infamous SS officers Hermann Krumey, Kurt Becher, and Dieter Wisliceny) "allegedly to recover hidden Jewish wealth" (assuming you are gullible enough to believe this fish story, how that was not a crime by itself), and suppressing Nazi-Zionists ties or some quid pro quo deal with West Germany had nothing to do with it. For God's sake, can we contemplate this counterfactual scenario: what if Adolf Eichmann hadn't escaped to Argentina after WWII; then it would've been logical for the Jewish Agency to ask Dr. Kastner to testify in Eichmann's defense too; why not? It is all "good" guys; don't make a big deal out of it; it was done to "save Jews' lives", and of course to "recover Ali Baba's stolen Jewish treasures"! Pay attention to how the Jewish public at large was furious with Jewish Agency's conduct when it sent Dr. Kastner to defend the Nazis who managed the execution of the Holocaust. Based on our research, Zionists' treason was (and still is to a large degree) an open secret in Jewish communities around the world. The amount of gaslight that Jews have been consuming since WWII ended must have been at an industrial scale. We wonder how long this shall last? This treason must have been covered in the Jewish press; we are investigating this incident as we speak; we are willing to pay for news clips; stay tuned!

-Is it too hard to say both wanted to serve their interests and to save their skins? Are you surprised how Ben-Gurion & Co. went on a limb to defend Dr. Kastner? Why not! To accept treasonous charges against Dr. Kastner implicates the Zionist leadership too! If the charges stood against Kastner, that implied Zionists are complicit! Then it would be logical to assume that Kastner was liquidated on purpose, especially when the assassin was a former Shin-Bet informer and Hurtists! Does that explain why the Israeli Supreme Court still insists to this date on not opening Kastner files because it could harm Israeli "national security"?

-It should be noted that much of the Zionist & Israeli archives have already been opened for decades, and a lot of them destroyed, most of the Zionist myths the "Jewish state" was based on. Therefore, we are forced to ask: what could the Kastner trials' court proceedings contain that is much more damning than releasing the whole Zionist archive?

-If you are interested in the boring details about Kastner, we urge you to watch Lenni Brenner and read Faris Yahya, Ruth Landau, and Tony Greenstein (p. 200-208), who all have taken this subject to the next level.

Since Haavara was signed in 1933, Nazi repression only increased, and Zionists didn't even contemplate pausing it during its nine years of life; not even after Nuremberg Race Laws & Kristallnacht pogrom! You would think Zionists would've reassessed their appeasement policies. On the contrary, they doubled down on Haavara as if there was no tomorrow! It should be noted that the British stopped the trading portion of Haavara in early 1940 (but the financial portion of Haavara continued until late Dec 1941 when FDR shut it down), and if it wasn't for Great Britain, Haavara would've continued unabated!

On this point, we are forced to ask: How wasn't Haavara the FIRST willing passenger on the appeasement train that ended up destroying Europe? How did Zionists manage to monetize Nazi repression? Is it possible that similar tactics were used to nudge Arab Jews to force them into immigrating to Israel after Nakba? God forbid, you would not think Zionists fomented antisemitism (hoping it would create a refugee crisis) that would act as a political lever in the service of creating the "Jewish state"? (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants By Aviva Halamish, p. 128-9) Here are the boring details.

When Irgunists in the US (a.k.a. the Bergson Group), attempted to mobilize public opinion and the American Jewish community to fight Hitler between 1941-43, you would think Ben-Gurion and Co. gave them a big helping hand! On the contrary, you cannot be further from the truth. To discredit the Bergson Groups, Rabbi Stephen Wise and his buddies were quick to point out those Irgunists were neo-fascists (which was true) and the collected funds would be stolen. Actually, Rabbi Wise and his buddy Nahum Goldmann lobbied the US government to financial audit the group by the IRS and to draft their leaders into the US army (see Wikipedia for boring details). Although Rabbi Wise and his cohorts provided zero evidence about Bergson Groups, what was tragically funny was that it was Rabbi Wise's buddies in Palestine who diverted much of what was collected for rescue, away from rescuing Europe's Jews! When the records are examine, it became clear Zionist leaders were terrified that the Irgunists' plans could divert donations and other resources from building their future state (Aaron Berman, p. 130-31 & 118-123). Honestly, how could you argue that such policies and actions didn't murder Jews? If you are interested in the boring details all sourced from primary sources (as if Wikipedia wasn't good enough), here are the boring details. You may lose your religion; you have been warned.

Concerning those Irgunists, please keep in mind that although their policy and actions were honorable, they pursued conflicting policies. One that mobilized the public against the Nazis in the US, and the other policy advocated bombing the Allies' war efforts in the Middle East. Imagine yourself hungry, thus you decide to eat a couple of your fingers! These policies were the perfect display of cognitive dissonance on steroids, especially when we factor in that Zionist leaders' families were being gassed in Poland during this period!.

If Haavara "saved” Jews, then according to this preposterous logic: A) England exterminated Europe’s Jews since England halted the trading portion of Haavara in late 1939 (after the Nazi occupation of Poland)! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 378). B) The same ridiculous logic could be applied to the US shutting down the money transfer portion of Haavara in December 1941! C) Let us see where this preposterous argument ends: Should Jews thank Hitler for bailing out the Jewish Agency when it was almost bankrupt during the great depression? Wasn't it Hitler who kept Europe's doors open for Jews to leave until late 1941 and offered to ship Jews anywhere a luxury liners? Wasn't it Hitler's terror during Kristallnacht that pushed a third of Germany's Jews to leave in early 1939? Well, love it or hate it, based on this farce of an argument, the Nazis "saved" six to eight times as many Jews in comparison with Haavara!

What was tragically funny was that Adolf Eichmann used such an argument in his defense (during his trial in the early 1960s) to prove that he "saved" Jews' lives when he coordinated with Aliyah Bet between 1938 and 1941! Did Eichmann "save lives"? Technically, the answer is yes. On the other hand, he willfully killed hundreds of thousands, too. In our humble opinion, Eichmann's motives should be examined, and this is how Haavara should be judged! Shamelessly, Zionist Jews have the habit of abusing the English language where the words, such as saving lives, valor, or peace, have been flipped on their heads. Reckless endangerment of Jews is equivalent to "saving" them! As we have seen earlier, such an excuse was also used by Dr. Rezo Kastner (the head of Kapos in Hungary during WWII) to paint himself as a hero instead of being a sellout!. This is Orwell's Ministry of Truth on steroids.

As you contemplate the earlier arguments and facts, please keep in mind that Jewish Agency offices in Germany were only closed as late as May 1941! (Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, p. 276). On this note, don't you find it odd how Zionists and Nazis wanted to continue Haavara even after the invasion of Poland? On top of that, Zionists never waste a moment to remind us how Chamberlain appeased Hitler, although it was Zionists who did far worse FIRST and continued to appease Nazis for 7-9 years with no interruptions! This warped sense of reality can only exist, be justified, and promoted in the Zionist mind! There is no logic, no sense of humanity, only winning at all costs; that is their bottom line from day one. Always risk it all, even when it is not a life-or-death situation!

What's truly tragically criminal is that many Zionist Jews look back in the rear back mirror with little regrets, even when they know in advance that enabling the devil resulted in the genocide of millions of Jews and other Europeans! (The Transfer Agreement, p. 250) All this risk-taking was done to build an apartheid state (which borrowed much of its racial laws from National Socialists) to "save" 53,000 lives, much of whom would have left Germany anyhow. In return: A) tens of millions perished, B) the "Jewish state" ended up dispossessing and ethnically cleansing millions, C) and most importantly ended up locking Jews and Arabs into an eternal struggle! D) How this enterprise wasn't a high-stakes poker game at its worst! Is it hard to admit it: Haavara was done to serve Zionists' goals irrespective of the risks?

You would think Zionist leaders had softened their hearts after WWII was concluded, and they stopped weaponizing Jewish pain & suffering as a lever (hoping it would create a refugee crisis) that could be used to create their "Jewish state"? On the contrary, Zionist leadership doubled down on closing off any possible safe havens for Jews in the displaced persons' camps, except for Palestine. Don't take our word for it; here it is from the NY Times' editor (Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, one of the most prominent American Jews in New York City) who stated on October 27th, 1946:

"it is unfair to carry on this political controversy at the expense of the miserable tenants of the D.P. Camps," Mr. Sulzberger emphasized.
"Nor will the philosophical and political ideal for Jewish statehood die by reason of delay if it deserves to live; but refugees will die if humanity too long delays their rescue" "I cannot rid myself of the feeling," he added, "that the unfortunate Jew of Europe's D.P. Camps are helpless hostages for whom statehood has been made only acceptable ransom."
 

"I acknowledge," he continued," that those who view Jews as a race instead of as faith and faith only, as I do, have reasons for national aspirations which I don't share."
"I acknowledge that those to whom a Jewish state has been a life-long goal can be expected to pursue it even when the costs are high, but it seems to me that the cost of statehood today in terms of human suffering is greater than people can be asked to bear." [Click here for the full article. Well, you may learn a thing or two about Zionists' fake valor!

If the subject of the DP camps after WWII is of any interest, then we recommend reading James D. Clowes 1988 thesis, you might learn how Polish Jews were nudged into leaving as the Iraqi Jews have learned after Nakba!

It is stunning how Zionists Jews argue both sides of the argument: Zionists can deal with and enable the devil to "save Jews," but the same twisted logic can't be applied to Mufti's collaboration with Nazis when he wanted to save Palestinians from Nakba! Of course, Palestine (the most important land bridge in human history) was empty and romantically waiting for 2000 years until Zionist Jews populated it, bloomed its Negev desert (for the first time since the ice age), and above all, Palestinians never existed who willingly abandoned their homes, farms, businesses, and lands! Once you drug yourself with such fantastic big lies, it becomes much easier to justify genocides and Nakbas. Do you understand from where this ideology was borrowed from? Do you understand why Zionists didn't condemn the Nuremberg Race Laws? Do you understand why Zionists welcomed wearing the Yellow Star of David with the slogan of "Wear it with Pride"? What pride were these people were talking about? Only in the Zionist mind: shame is equated with pride; dishonor is equated with honor! Anyhow, in return for their Uncle Tom's loyalty, Hitler showered Zionists with privileges Aryans dreamed of!

If "saving German Jews" was paramount to Zionists, you would think they would speak openly about Haavara; you would think they are proud of their deeds! On the country, they attempted to hide its details from the start, and Zionist leadership rarely spoke of it; that is why it is a taboo subject. Labor Zionists (Ben-Gurion's party) denied they had anything to do with the deal during the 18th Zionist Congress (despite Nazi leaks to the German press), and only the 19th Zionist Congress adopted Haavara two years after it was signed. Ben-Gurion ensured his name didn't appear with Haavara, although he had already approved it. (The Transfer Agreement, p. xxi-xxii, p. 300-306). On the other hand, Zionists never waste a moment without reminding us that Palestinians (not Europeans who ganged upon them) are collectively liable for the Holocaust (as Nazis) because of Mufti Haj Amin's actions, which he did nine years after Haavara was signed! We hate to keep reminding the readers that the yishuv in the best case situation AVOIDED fighting the Nazis to the bitter end, and two of Israel's PMs ( (Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir) BOMBED WWII war efforts when Palestinians CEASED fighted GB. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Zionists' fake valor continued when they knew well that the Nazis were gassing their own families in Poland! Such twisted argument, such a wrapped sense of reality could only exist in the Zionist mind!

Does this explain why the Zionist press downplayed the Holocaust as it was in progress? (Abraham Burg, p. 74). Zionist leadership knew of the mass killing as early as mid-1942 (Rabbi Wise knew way before FDR informed him). From our investigation, Zionist leaders ONLY reacted to public pressure once the news enraged Jews (especially in Palestine and the US), and only then did they bother themselves to release statements to the press (see the first five to six chapters in Dina Porat's book). In Palestine, we've found a few demonstrations during WWII that Zionist leaders led. On the other hand, when the British High Commissioner in Palestine refused to grant entry visas for Jewish refugees, they didn't hesitate to demonstrate and ask for his head. Why did they go the extra mile to keep it out of the press? What more harm could have been done by warning Jews of the calamity heading towards them? Does this explain why Ben-Gurion & Co. kept the so-called Yishuv out of the war? Does this explain why only a few of the Yishuv saw action at the war's end? Why enrage the public, who could end up forcing them to risk creating the state? (such as fighting Hitler). Just imagine if public opinion forced them to deploy their precious so-called Yishuv in defense of Jewish honor at the meat grinder on the Italian, Tunisian, and Libyan fronts! How many would have been left to fight the real enemy: That Indigenous Arab who doesn't exist! Here are the boring details!

Do you think Ben-Gurion would've "saved" 53,000 Jews via Haavara if there were ZERO incentives? Does that explain why Jabotinsky was against Haavara? Revisionists got ZERO incentives, especially after Haavara V1 (Sam Cohen started that) was stolen from them. It should be noted that the Jewish Agency was on the verge of going bankrupt in 1931 & 1933! All Zionist enterprises were on the ropes! The noose was around their necks!

Do you think Ben-Gurion would've "saved" 53k Jews via Haavara if the financial, political, and military foundations of the "Jewish state" were already in place? All these were absent before Haavara; the Jewish Agency was on the verge of bankruptcy, as we have pointed out earlier!

Can you honestly name one rescue scheme that was engineered to save Jews to any haven other than Palestine that Zionists didn't attempt to either destroy, torpedo, annihilate, or frustrate? You cannot. To rob salt into the wound, Zionists portray themselves as the hero who fought Nazis & saved Jews' honor at Warsaw's Ghetto Uprising. Of course, the train of big lies continues and is passed on from generation to generation!

We were stunned to find a JTA report on Feb 16th, 1943 which cited the Jewish Agency had anticipated the defeat of the Axis powers by the end of the year! Therefore, the Jewish Agency had allocated 10% of its annual budget ($4,608,000) to help transition yishuv's life and economy from war to peace footing! Just think about it for a minute: why spend a lot of money to rescue Europe's Jews when the war will be over soon? Remember, this happened when the last two million were still alive! Since the war ended 2 1/2 years later, may we know what happened to this money? How many Jewish lives were lost because of such policies?

To prove that Zionist knew what they were doing from day one and the risks their policies entailed, it is worth quoting Lenni Brenner who cited Rabbi Stephen Wise in a speech at a World Jewish Conference at Geneva in 1934 (yes, eight years before the Final Solution). Wise attacked the Labourites (a.k.a. Labour Zionists or MAPAI) who had become the dominant force in Palestinian Zionism:

One leading Palestinian put it over and over again at Prague: Palestine has primacy. This conference must clearly state that while Palestine has primacy over all other factors in the equation, its primacy ceases when it comes into conflict with a higher moral law. (Dr. Stephen Wise on Policy of World Jewry, World Jewry, London, 24 August 1934 -- p. 395)

Wise had identified the rot in the World Zionist Organization (WZO): the land of Israel had become far more important than the needs of the people of Israel. Labour Zionism had become, in the fullest sense, a utopian cult. They saw a new Jew in the old Jewish land as the only way for a Jewish nation to continue to exist. The real Jewish people, the millions of Jews of the Diaspora, were no more than a reservoir from which they would pick young immigrants to build their state. The Diaspora, as such, was doomed: either the Jews would be driven out, as in Germany, or assimilated as in France. With this strange perspective that Jewish survival stood or fell with them in Israel, the Zionists were driven to seek more from the Nazis to make their vision into a reality.

If prior arguments and facts haven't dismantled this big lie yet, please contemplate how Zionist Edwin Black described Zionists' mindset before Shoah and during the 1930s as follows:

"In the minds of Zionists, Jewish life in Germany could not be saved, only transferred. Even if Hitler and the German economy were crushed, Jewish wealth in Germany would be crushed with it...[as if Mr. Black implies that crushing Nazi Germany early on doesn't serve the Zionist cause!] ..The wealth had to be saved. Through the speedy liquidation and transfer of that wealth, the Jewish homeland could be built, thus creating the refuge needed for a mass transfer of the people. Zionism had declared from the moment of Herzl that antisemitic regimes were to be opposed. They [antisemitic regimes] were to be cooperated with in the transfer of Jews and their wealth." (p. 226)

Note how Mr. Black contradicted himself on pages 379-380 when he claimed that Zionists in the 1930s had no way of anticipating a genocide of German Jews. However, here he assumed that Zionists thought that German Jews' lives couldn't be saved, although the majority of them left! Tom Segev (p. 102-104) has found that Zionists used to talk about the Holocaust in the past tense (see for yourself how many Zionist leaders subscribed to Catastrophic Zionism which was a kind of apocalyptic cult); way ahead of its time in the 1930s (actually, Ben-Gurion called Kindertransport that saved ten thousand Jewish kids useless "Witch Doctor's Medicine" which was a month after the 1938 pogrom). Therefore, very little could be done to save Europe's Jews! In the Zionist mind, the Holocaust had already happened, and there was one thing left for them to do, which was to exploit the calamity to be in the service of building the "Jewish state"! What was tragic and criminal was that when Ben-Gurion recognized that German Jews were voting with their feet and immigrating to countries other than Palestine (that was a month after the Kristallnacht pogrom); he was so angry and hoped they drop dead. That said, this analysis is in sync 100% with Aviva Halamish's finding too (Palestine as a Destination for Jewish Immigrants, p. 128-9); as if they wanted Shoah to happen, therefore converting Jewish suffering into a political lever (by creating a refugees crisis using Ben-Gurion's sinister terminology) that will enable them to achieve their goals! If Jews were already dead in their minds, then fomenting antisemitism would make little difference; they were dead anyhow! Here is another instance where Ben-Gurion spoke forcefully to defend Haavara on December 11th, 1935. Note how he spoke of the destruction of German Jewry 6 years before the fact; despite this assertion, David & other Jewish Agency executives allocated under 16% of the immigration certificates to German Jews:

Only Eretz-Israel can serve as a cure for German Jewry, even if not for all of them; any other "cure" is a false hope. We cannot topple Hitler; perhaps he will be toppled some other way. We must be concerned with the fate of the children and women, who are choking in this destructive hell. There is one way to rescue them-- to bring them to Eretz-Israel, with their capital. Their capital -- that is, merchandise, and by this, I do not mean French or English merchandise. The only question is whether the money will return to Germany. This is not German merchandise; this is Jewish capital, belonging to Jews who are going to their destruction ... we have no other honor except by rescuing Jews and bringing them to Eretz-Israel.'" (The Yishuv In The Shadow Of The Holocaust, p. 104)

In a nutshell, those Jews who didn't immigrate to Palestine and chose to be saved somewhere else, they were as good as dead to him! Tragically, that is exactly what Ben-Gurion articulated a month after the 1938 pogrom as we outlined earlier. It should be noted that David never retracted his antisemitism, and Zionists turned it into a policy during WWII!

If you are still convinced that Haavara was signed with Nazis to save Jews' lives, we urge you to contemplate Baruch Vladeck's (editor of Forward) rebuttal to this deal which he wrote in January of 1936.

We hate to reiterate it again and again: the vast majority of German Jews were assimilationist, liberal & socialist BUND who were anti-Zionist and considered Zionists to be the enemy from within. You won't believe it until you read the details.

Here is the unvarnished truth: all the prior facts and arguments prove that this ridiculous of an argument (that Haavara "saved" lives) was concocted as a gaslight (a.k.a. the art of Hasbarah in Hebrew) way after the fact, especially when it doesn't correlate with the actual events! 

Only in the Zionist mind could reality be warped to such a degree where murder, cowardliness & treachery are equated with heroism! 
Only in the Zionist mind the meanings of saving & endangering are synonymous!

God forbid, if you still give Zionists the benefit of the doubt, and you feel that we have not made the case against Zionism; we urge you to watch Johnny Harris (the famous YouTuber who is a known supporter of the "Jewish state") for two minutes explaining how Zionism has been a failure and how it has created a state that provided the opposite of the security and safety it promised the "Jewish people":


How is Mr. Harris' conclusion not in sync 100% with Albert Einstein's prediction (a day after the Deir Yassin massacre) when he predicted that Zionists would bring a Nakba upon Jews? Let us hope Mr. Harris won't get canceled for telling the truth to the powerful.

Zionism: What a terrible disease of the mind!
