Episode 304: NEVER AGAIN

Let’s be cleat about several things:

1. The Jews are not the only religious group that has been targeted in the course of human events. And, the results have been disastrous in nearly every case.

2. Internment camps were established in the United States for all US citizens who could trace their roots back to a belligerent power. Japanese, Germans, and Italians were all sent to internment camps in the US. Their property was confiscated, and many livelihoods were destroyed.



What distinguished the US camps from the German camps was the overall wealth available to sustain them. One has only to look at the way prisoners were treated in Japan during World War II and in the United States during Lincoln’s War of Consolidation to understand that in times of economic hardship, the first to go are those who are viewed as potential threats to the nation. World War II devastated both Germany and Japan economically. Many Germans starved to death while Jews were being slaughtered in an effort to close the camps that were no longer sustainable.


3. Jews were not the only ones who were interned under the Third Reich. Communists were met with a similar fate. The most important leaders of the communist movement in Germany were Jews. Like many European nation’s at the time, the Germans were horrified by the events that were taking place in the Soviet Union. They did not want the communist political element in their own nation, and indeed, many Jews were communist.


4. Not only were Jews the top German communist leaders, but Jewish Zionists were also among those who played a leading role in the unfair treatment that the Germans received at the Treaty of Versailles during which Germany was used as a scape goat to cover for British imperial aggression.


5. Not only has the holocaust been, historically speaking, blown way out of proportion, but it has been used as a cover for Israeli atrocities against Arab Palestinians while they built the Israeli nation on the land of those whom they drove from their homes after they evicted the British.


6. Finally, I believe that the Nürnberg Code is correct, but it arose out of a show trial that was very similar to what occurred in Japan in the aftermath of World War II. It was the Allied victors washing their hands of their own wartime atrocities and throwing the dirty water at the feet of the Germans.

In the end, it is not the Holocaust that I find repugnant, although it surely was; rather, it is the way it has been used by the Israelis and their American and European Jewish counterparts as a cover for Israeli aggression against the Arabs.

It is the hypocrisy against which I rebel when it comes to any discussion of the German internment camps both before and during World War II.
