“The Haavara Agreement was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist German Jews signed on 25 August 1933.
The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany. The agreement was designed to help facilitate the emigration of German Jews to Palestine. While it helped Jews emigrate, it forced them to temporarily give up possessions to Germany before departing. Those possessions could later be re-obtained by transferring them to Palestine as German export goods. The agreement was controversial at the time, and was criticised by many Jewish leaders both within the Zionist movement and outside it. Hitler’s own support of the Haavara Agreement was unclear and varied throughout the 1930s. Initially, Hitler criticized the agreement, but reversed his opinion and supported it in the period 1937-1939.” This is the language of the Hitler and Nazi apologists. The German Jews wouldn't have had much of a choice. Pretty much from day one of Hitler's regime, Jews were second class citizens. They were banned from public office, banking, the media... Just Checking is right. I don't know about their possessions but it was stated Nazi policy not to allow Jews to take any money with them to Palestine. |

Scratch the surface of an anti-Zionist and you'll usually find an anti-Semite underneath. Absolutely spot on For the frankly totally clueless ebulgery, have you heard of " the final Solution " well that had not been thought up at the time hitler wanted to ship the Jews off to a far away land. |

From the Guardian
. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/commentisfree/2016/apr/30/labour-antisemitism-ken-livingstone-george-galloway?CMP=twt_gu ..."It is astonishing that you have to, but you must learn the worst of leftwing history now. For Labour is not just led by dirty men but by dirty old men, with roots in the contaminated soil of Marxist totalitarianism. If it is to change, its leaders will either have to change their minds or be thrown out of office. Put like this, the tasks facing Labour moderates seem impossible. They have to be attempted, however, for moral as much as electoral reasons. Allow me to state the moral argument as baldly as I can. Not just in Paris, but in Marseille, Copenhagen and Brussels, fascistic reactionaries are murdering Jews – once again. Go to any British synagogue or Jewish school and you will see police officers and volunteers guarding them. I do not want to tempt fate, but if British Jews were murdered, the leader of the Labour party would not be welcome at their memorial. The mourners would point to the exit and ask him to leave. If it is incredible that we have reached this pass, it is also intolerable." |

not a fan of Red Ken - but I do remember a few pre war films - leslie howard and charters/caldicott and the like? Hitler was expelling the jews. If they had the cash to bribe their way out.
He changed his mind quick though and turned on the gas.Don't know if he wanted a Jewish Nation? Sounds like that might make Hitler's head rotate. Ken has always been vocally pro Palestine. That's just stupid - the people who have the land.... have the land. Until they don't. Tell the Norman's to give the land back to the picts. Tell Henry the eighth to give the French back their lands. It's dream politics. This scandal is very near the London Mayor election - RED KEN was a labour mayor. It's his only claim to fame. So Put mud on Ken, sticks to labour. Tory votes for mayor go up. |

Some of see the terrible suffering and cost in human life that has resulted from the creation of Israel.
This is where our sympathies lie...a human being is a human being I fully understand the Jews desire for their homeland, I would if I was Jewish, but that does not make it right. They were gone too long, it was somebody else's country not theirs. I see a devil's pact between Israel and the United States. I agree with Trump I want to see more neutrality from the United States. |

Also more neutrality from Britain.

If anything it was God's plan to bring the Jews back to their land. I say their land? If you believe the bible it was given to them by God forever. God's Promise. If you leave your house for any length of time, it's still your house. You have the deed. They are the only people on the planet that have a deed from the owner of everything. |

ebul - I would refer you to my post yesterday (quote by Hitler from Mein Kampf).
Also (from Wiki): During the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine, ties were made between the Arab leadership in Palestine and the Nazi movement in Germany.[32] These connections led to cooperation between the Palestinian national movement and the Axis powers later on during World War II.[32] In May 1941 Amin al-Husayni issued a fatwa for a holy war against Britain. In 1941 during a meeting with Adolf Hitler Amin al-Husayni asked Germany to oppose, as part of the Arab struggle for independence, the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine.[33] He received a promise from Hitler that Germany would eliminate the existing Jewish foundations in Palestine after the Germans had gained victory in the war.[34] During the war Amin al-Husayni joined the Nazis, serving with the Waffen SS in Bosnia and Yugoslavia.[21] In addition, during the war a joint Palestinian-Nazi military operation was held in the region of Palestine. |

If you leave your house for nigh on 2000 years you might find it is not yours. So Israel has a right to exist because it says so in the Bible.  .and we claim the Muslims are religious nutters. I have not read the Quran, never will, perhaps it says Palestine belongs to them.???????? We liberated the area from the Ottoman Turks in 1918, it should have been handed over to those that lived there 80% Palestinian Arabs 10% Jews 10% Christians Instead we stayed and decided to set up Israel. Can you imagine what it did the Palestinian Arabs they were helpless in their own country and had to watch while we British Jewish immigration, and half of their country was going to be handed over to the Jews In 1936 - 1939 the Palestinians Arabs tried to revolt but were defeated. My sympathy is with the Palestinians Arabs it always will be. I thought that was a good idea all Israel's Jews go and live in the United States. Sadly that wont happen. I accept Israel exists as a fact. I have urged the Palestinian Arabs to accept this. I would like to see peace throughout the Middle East |

As I keep saying anti Zionism is not anti Semitism, although I see it is being used the Tories to discredit Labour. |

It is a mistake to think that Israels jews should go to live in America, for one simple reason.
America is a christian country and the jewish people know they would not be safe. It would be a mistake for Israels jews to go and live in Russia, or Holland, or Britain or any muslim country anywhere on the earth. Now they have a shared piece of land, and everyone in Israel is an equal citizen. They must never give up this safe haven. |
|
By:
Now you say what about the arab muslims. Well they have many countries were they can live in safety and peace, including Israel.

However make no mistake, the beginning and end of all things is that Israel must be and must always be a majority jewish homeland.
Until the nature of man changes. |

If we take Britain as an example, and the Labour pary. Or the tories. Or the millions of British citizens. Take a look around and would you trust them?
No, i can`t imagine doing that. |

By:

well that is very sad, and I would hope they would feel safe here I do not think we have Jewish discrimination here now. It is nice to have somewhere we can call home, but I don't think we had to give them half of somebodies else's county. We had no right to set up Israel. It is an awful situation, but I must say what I think is right or not right, and you have the same right lfc1971. |

By:
Ebul you are putting too much importance on countries. They are almost a thing of the past and even now may no longer exist.
Do you consider yourself British and if you do why? Should anyone consider themselves British, what does that mean. It might be better to pretend you live in Japan or some other country. |

Interesting point made by the editor of Jewish News on LBC. Prior to 1948 there were 100,000 Palestinian Arabs in the area of what today is Israel. Now there are 1.6 million.
In the surrounding Arab lands there were 900,000 Jews. Today, there are virtually none. |

The state of Israel was declared independent 68 years ago almost to the day (14 May 1948).
It's a bit rich now to say that it shouldn't exist. |

I am not shocked in the slightest that the Labour Party is now embroiled in an anti-Semitism scandal. The only thing which has surprised me is that it hadn’t happened sooner.
After all, the Labour Party has been captured by a bunch of hard Left middle class activists who have a visceral hatred of Israel. These are the people who joined the Labour Party in their droves last summer, with the sole intent of voting for Jeremy Corbyn in the leadership contest. At the time, a number of Labour Party grandees voiced their concerns about the huge influx of activists, but they were swept aside as ‘Blairite’ stooges who were opposed to the party shifting Leftwards. The Blairites lost and the hard Left won with the election of Corbyn, and now Labour is reaping what it has sown, because they elected a leader who has dallied with Islamist organisations for a number of years. For example, he is a known supporter of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood affiliate that terrorises Gaza. Indeed, Corbyn once said that Hamas was ‘an organisation that is dedicated to the good of the Palestinian people and bringing about long term peace and social justice and political justice in the whole region’. Interestingly, the Hamas Charter, drawn up in 1988, states that ‘our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious’ and goes on to call for an ‘Islamic State’ of Palestine. Note that the struggle is not with the state of Israel, but with the Jews. Some peace, Mr Corbyn. Corbyn is also known as a ‘friend’ of the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah, whose Deputy Leader Naim Qassem said: ‘The history of Jews has proven that, regardless of the Zionist proposal, they are a people who are evil in their ideas.’ Two years ago, Corbyn also signed a letter in support of CAGE, the Islamic ‘advocacy group’ run by former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Moazzam Begg. Last year the group famously described Jihadi John as ‘a beautiful young man’. In 2014, the Jewish group the Community Security Trust warned the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust – who at the time were funding CAGE – of a number of anti-Semitic articles on CAGE’s website, including one that claimed the September 11 attacks in New York were an insurance scam organised by a Zionist billionaire. Corbyn is also a leading supporter of the Trotskyite group, the Stop the War Coalition. He was the Chairman of Stop the War until he became the Labour leader. Last year Corbyn ignored the advice of many of his fellow Labour MPs and kept his engagement as the keynote speaker at the Stop the War Christmas dinner. In recent years, Stop the War has had to delete articles from its website, which range from claims that the Jews control the banks, the media, the United States and even FIFA. Its insinuation that somehow the horrendous Paris terrorist attacks were somehow justified by the West’s intervention in the Middle East even led to the resignation of the Green MP, Caroline Lucas, from its ranks. But not Corbyn. In 2012, the Labour leader co-sponsored the visit to Britain and to Parliament of an Israel-based anti-Semitic extremist, Sheikh Raed Saleh, who claimed that Jews use the blood of gentile children to make their bread. Corbyn is also a ‘good friend’ of radical preacher Ibrahim Hewitt, who believes that apostates should be killed and adulterers stoned to death. As well as being the chairman of the Hamas-linked Interpal, Hewitt is also the ‘Senior Editor’ of the Middle East Monitor (MEMO), which has made anti-Semitic claims including that the Jews control Westminster. Examples of Corbyn’s links to anti-Semitic organisations or individuals go on and on, and on again. A fish rots from the head down, and the Labour Party’s problems with anti-Semitism are a perfect example of it. |

The state of Israel was declared independent 68 years ago almost to the day (14 May 1948). It's a bit rich now to say that it shouldn't exist. Does the passage of time change the argument? I think anti-Zionism is a perfectly valid belief, then and now. We now live in a society where if a lie is repeated often enough it is believed. Our views are being subtly changed over time. People assuming anti Zionism = anti Semitism is an example. My views have never changed from the 1960's, I liked them so I stick to them. Also it is called the right of free speech. |

So Ebulgery you would deport something like six and a half million people? How does that sound to you? Have you heard of "ethnic cleansing"? Most of the people living there weren't even born when the state was founded. So you would dispossess them and give the land and everything in it to others who were neither born there or born at the time it was founded?
What about all the other states in the Middle East which were drawn up as a result of 20th century wars, do they have a right to exist? |
|
By:
Well all the Jewish people could move to the United States it is not unfeasible, I did not say anything about ethnic cleansing.
Other countries were drawn up in the Middle East by the League of Nations in 1923. Iraq was one, that has worked out very well.  Syria was originally administered by France, another winner there. I do not believe the Jews will be going anywhere, but as a matter of justice I still believe we were wrong to create Israel. I think it is important to say the truth as I see it. |
