Historian: New evidence shows FDRâs bigotry derailed many Holocaust rescue plans
In his book about Franklin Roosevelt and the Holocaust, Rafael Medoff finds links between the US president's anti-Japanese stances and his policies against Jews fleeing Hitlerwww.timesofisrael.com
Roosevelt's attempt to torpedo Jews coming to the US when he knew Jews were being rounded up and murdered is well documented.
I think most know that FDR imprisoned innocent Japanese Americans, just because of their race, but I think less know how he was anti-Semitic as well.
âRoosevelt used almost identical language in recommending that the Jews and the Japanese be forcibly âspread thinâ around the country,â Medoff told The Times of Israel. âI was struck by the similarity between the language FDR used regarding the Japanese, and that which he used in private concerning Jews â that they canât be trusted, they wonât ever become fully loyal Americans, theyâll try to dominate wherever they go.â
During these key years before Roosevelt entered the White House, he also wrote and spoke about âthe mingling of white with Oriental bloodâ and preserving other forms of âracial purity.â According to Medoff, all of this was part of a long-held worldview that later guided Roosevelt during his three terms in office.
But yet those in academia and the media constantly refer to FDR as one of the top 5 Presidents in US history, despite being complicit in the extermination of millions of Jews.
Why?
He didn't shake Jesse Owens hand!
He banned hemp because he didn't want white girls dancing to jungle rhythms with darkies
AND THE AMERICAN TALIBAN LOVES AND ADORES HIM LIKE HE WAS LBJ!!!
