Law seeks to expose rail bidders’ war actions

Why stop there? Why not ban the state from doing business with all entities that ever once supported the Third Reich? General Motors, Ford, IBM, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Krups, the list goes on. Oh, yeah, we should also ban the state from doing business with Israel. After all, the Zionist Yishuv collaborated with the Third Reich from 33 to 39, and sabotaged the Jewish-led boycott of same. Now we can feel really self-righteous.

The false claim that Zionists collaborated with the Nazis is an anti-Semitic canard passed along either with malice or through ignorance. “The abusers of Holocaust memory rely on two strategies. Either they deny that it happened at all, or they admit that it did happen, but “Zionist” Jews were to blame.” For an excellent article about the history of this lie see: http://www.engageonline.org.uk/journal/index.php?journal_id=14&article_id=58

Anyone passing this slander along should either apologize or be banned from this site in my opinion.

Califlefty doesn’t know his history and apparently doesn’t care, but would rather scream antisemite and Holocaust denier at every opportunity. The link he cites deals with idiots denying the holocaust, not Zionist collaboration. I suppose he also denies that during WW2 Yitzak Shamir as head of the Stern Gang proposed fighting on the side of the Nazis against Britain in exchange for recognition of the Zionist state? And that the Irgun under Begin also mounted terror attacks against the British during WW2.

But more to the point:

Read “The Transfer Agreement” by Edwin Black, a book blurbed by Yav Gelber of Yad Vashem, among other Zionists (and try for the 1st edition). Black lays out with clear evidence how the Zionist Yishuv deliberately sabotaged the 1933 American Jewish-led boycott of the Third Reich in collaboration with the Nazis in exchange for the Transfer Agreement: German-Jewish money bought German goods shipped to Israel and supposedly the German-Jews supplying the money would be allowed to leave for Israel. Black points out that the Yishuv was far more interested in their cadre than the Middle-class Jews who supplied the dough; that the Zionists kept the double-dealing a secret from the boycott while pushing their way into the leadership and stalling the boycott’s progress; that the Yishuv even formed a corporation with the only purpose of seeking out markets for German goods; that the Yishuv continued to ship agricultural products to Europe in Nazi-flagged ships until 1939; that the Nazi goods so obtained formed the basis of Israeli industry and saved the Third Reich from economic collapse, and Hitler from ouster by his industrial backers. 

Anyone calling this slander should either apologize or be damned as a fool.

The article cited by Califlefty does in small part mention collaboration with the Nazis, although the majority of the article deals with holocaust denial. As is not unusual the effort is to conflate holocaust denial with the charges of ruthless opportunism on the part of Zionists. Nowhere are the charges refuted but merely made to appear part and parcel of holocaust denial. The fact of the matter is that the Zionist Yishuv behaved horribly toward the victims before, during, and after the Holocaust and continue till this day.
