Comments on: The Jews of Germany and Europe: why didn’t they leave in time? https://thenewneo.com/2013/10/04/the-jews-of-germany-and-europe-why-didnt-they-leave-in-time/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 25 May 2021 03:21:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: John C.Pomeroy https://thenewneo.com/2013/10/04/the-jews-of-germany-and-europe-why-didnt-they-leave-in-time/#comment-800524 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 22:47:17 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=32236#comment-800524 God has made a promise to Abraham, that he would bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel.
God is still keeping that promise. President Roosevelt wrote a letter to the king of Saudi Arabia in April 1945. He told the king that he would not support Jews going to Palestine. The President died that month. PresidentTruman supported Israel when Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948. He was elected President in November 1948 by a very thin margin.
In October 1991, President Bush went to the Madrid meeting. They discussed divideng up Israel. Bush’s home was destroyed in Maine.
In 2005, Bush called for the Jews to leave the Gaza strip. When all Jews left the Gaza strip, we got hit with Katrina in September 2005.
The Japanese helped Iran with their Nuclear program. In March 2011, Japan was destroyed by a bad storm.

That’s a great story.

When I was a kid, I knew a Jewish girl whose LAST name was “Christian.”

Never quite figured out what that was all about.

Many years ago, a friend told me story. They were serving as the gabbai at a synagogue. This synagogue usually invited new people up for an aliyah. One shabbat, a man showed up for the first time there. He was invited up. On the bima, they asked his name: “Christian.” The first thought was “Oops.” But he had on a tallit… He explained: His parents had fled to Denmark during the war. While his mother was expecting him, they were among the Jews in Denmark who were spirited out to Sweden. His parents were so thankful to the King of Denmark for everything he did, that they named their son after him. So, he was a Jewish Christian.

A better example of “No True Scotsman” couldn’t be found.

After learning from the bad example of the USA prior to WW2, I look forward to Israel accepting millions of evangelical Christian refugees from this Obamunation.

In 1935, our hypothetical family manages to get out of Germany and get asylum in France. After France is overrun in 1940, they somehow make it to Italy, where the Italian Fascist regime had not *yet* adopted the full panoply of Nazi-level anti-Semitic policies. But in 1944, as these policies did come into effect, they are rounded up and killed.

Germany, France, and Italy all *looked* reasonably civilized and reasonably safe in the time periods I hypothesized for their migration.

It really is stunning.”

It has long been known that the majority of Jews killed in the Holocaust were from the areas further to the East (eastern Poland/western Russia) which had large concentrations of Jews. That is also the area which is ancestral to the majority of American Jews including myself.

Although a lot of Canadians and anti Americans, or pro European Union guys, like to downplay Vichy France’s crimes against humanity.

That leaves 5,500,000 Jews (approx 90%) who were not from Germany and were killed in the Holocaust. It really is stunning.

Actually, until some time in 2007 this blog was on Blogger rather than WordPress, and I had far fewer tools to effectively ban trolls if the trolls were persistent enough. A lot of them were very persistent. That’s why I took the trouble to move my entire blog to WordPress, where I have many more effective ways to ban commenters if I choose to. That’s actually what happened, rather than that I used to have such high tolerance for trolls. I just didn’t have as many effective ways to deal with them back then.
