They may have said that concerning the Jews yeah, but we as Americans said when we saw the Jews in the condition that they were in, "what a poor pitiful people these people are", and then we commenced to beating the hell out of those who said what you said these Germans had said when they looked upon these Jews in such a way.
There is a huge difference in context, and words mean things boy.
The Jews didn't commit atrocities on the German people that placed them into the situation that they were placed in, so they were innocent, and we as Americans protect the innocent.
No one gave a shit about Jews - neither before the Nazi's tried to exterminate them (around 6 million) - nor after 1945.
Are you aware that far more Slavic people (around 10-15 million) were murdered by the Nazi's? how come no one's heart bleeds for these Slavic people? Answer - they never had a political lobby in the USA in Britain, nor any other Western country.
To allow for the insane idea to let homeless European Jewish migrants after May 1945 - take possession of peoples land and homes who had been living there for the past 1600 years and much more, is simply preposterous. To simply (the USA) to acknowledge Israels self-declared independence in 1948, set the basis for an illegal state of Israel, and it's confrontation with the surrounding Muslim States and the factual local population - Arab Bedouins and the Palestinians.
Honestly - why didn't the USA allocate some mediocre 25,000mls2 in e.g. Arizona or Alaska or California as a homeland for those displaced 2 million Jewish people??
Why didn't Britain (in control of Australia) allow for some mediocre 25,000mls2 in 1945-1948? Thus both Britain and the USA avoiding the robbing of other peoples land and the following wars and persecution of homeless Palestinians? And please don't come up with that self written Jewish book and it's BC. 1150 claims.
However a State of Israel exists, and has in the meantime been acknowledged by the UN member States in vast majority. If Israel really want's peace (and not just take illegal possession) of all the former British Mandate territory of Palestine (a continuous process since 1948) + Israel having illegally annexed the Golan Heights - then why don't they simply allocate the Arab-Palestine territories as e.g. designated in the UN Partition Plan of 1947? which would represent far more territory then what the Palestinians are still fighting for. As such there would be enough "territorial" room to negotiate upon by both parties.
Offering the Palestinians the mediocre leftovers of Gaza (138mls2) whilst demanding another 3-4% of the separated West-Bank, is to be considered an "honest" attempt by Israel? and then used by Israel to state; the Palestinians refuse to accept our proposal. You got to be kidding me.
IMO - the " true solution" isn't a two state solution - but a single unified Jewish-Muslim Palestine. The only ones opposing that are the Zionists!! A radical faction such as Hamas or Islam Jihad, etc. could be easily subdued by the joint efforts of an Israeli-Palestinian Police and Army. But again the Zionist don't want that - all they want is a pure Jewish State, or at minimum an Israel controlled by Jews.
It took Ireland almost 700 years to regain it's independence from Britain via forming the Republic of Ireland - are any Protestants in Ireland being persecuted or suppressed? NO.
N-Ireland is still being "occupied" by Britain - has the Catholic IRA, or those Protestant Ulster brigades been active (terrorism) in the last 25 years? NO - because both Protestants and Catholics became sick and tired of them. When is N-Ireland going to be reunited with the Republic of Ireland?
Only when the English aka their Zionist like agenda towards other peoples territory is dropped.
Who are by far, the staunchest supporters of the Palestinian cause amongst Europeans and worldwide - yes exactly, the Irish, due to their own experience.
