THE ROLE OF ZIONISM IN THE HOLOCAUST
Article by Rabbi Gedalya
Liebermann - Australia

"Spiritually and Physically Responsible "

From its' inception, many rabbis warned of the potential dangers of
Zionism and openly declared that all Jews loyal to G-d should stay away
from it like one would from fire. They made their opinions clear to their
congregants and to the general public. Their message was that Zionism is a
chauvinistic racist phenomenon which has absolutely naught to do with
Judaism. They publicly expressed that Zionism would definitely be
detrimental to the well being of Jews and Gentiles and that its effects on
the Jewish religion would be nothing other than destructive. Further, it
would taint the reputation of Jewry as a whole and would cause utter
confusion in the Jewish and non-Jewish communities. Judaism is a religion.
Judaism is not a race or a nationality. That was and still remains the
consensus amongst the rabbis.

We were given the Holy Land by G-d in order to be able to study and
practice the Torah without disturbance and to attain levels of holiness
difficult to attain outside of the Holy Land. We abused the privilege and
we were expelled. That is exactly what all Jews say in their prayers on
every Jewish festival, "Umipnay chatoenu golinu mayartsaynu" - "Because of
our sins we were expelled from our land".

We have been forsworn by G-d "not to enter the Holy Land as a body
before the predestined time", "not to rebel against the nations", to be
loyal citizens, not to do anything against the will of any nation or its
honour, not to seek vengeance, discord, restitution or compensation; "not
to leave exile ahead of time." On the contrary; we have to be humble and
accept the yoke of exile. To violate the oaths would result in "your flesh
will be made prey as the deer and the antelope in the forest," and the
redemption will be delayed.

(Talmud Tractate Ksubos p. 111a).

To violate the oaths is not only a sin, it is a heresy because it is
against the fundamentals of our Belief. Only through complete repentance
will the Almighty alone, without any human effort or intervention, redeem
us from exile. This will be after G-d will send the prophet Elijah and
Moshiach who will induce all Jews to complete repentance. At that time
there will be universal peace.

THE
UNHEEDED CRY

valiant holocaust leader who battled both Allied indifference and Nazi
hatred.

All of the leading Jewish religious authorities of that era predicted
great hardship to befall humanity generally and the Jewish People
particularly, as a result of Zionism. To be a Jew means that either one is
born to a Jewish mother or converts to the religion with the condition
that he or she make no reservations with regard to Jewish Law.
Unfortunately there are many Jews who have no inkling whatsoever as to the
duties of a Jew. Many of them are not to blame, for in many cases they
lacked a Jewish education and upbringing. But there are those who
deliberately distort the teachings of our tradition to suit their personal
needs. It is self understood that not just anyone has the right or the
ability to make a decision regarding the philosophy or law of a religion.
Especially matters in which that person has no qualification. It follows
then that those individuals who "decided" that Judaism is a nationality
are to be ignored and even criticized. It is no secret that the founders
of Zionism had never studied Jewish Law nor did they express interest in
our holy tradition. They openly defied Rabbinical authority and
self-appointed themselves as leaders of the Jewish "nation". In Jewish
history, actions like those have always spelled disaster. To be a Jew and
show open defiance of authority or to introduce "amendment" or
"innovation" without first consulting with those officially appointed as
Jewish spiritual leaders is the ideal equation to equal catastrophe. One
can not just decide to "modernize" ancient traditions or regulations. The
spiritual leaders of contemporary Judaism better known as Orthodox rabbis
have received ordination to judge and interpret matters pertaining to the
Jewish faith. These rabbis have received their rights and responsibilities
and form a link in the unbroken chain of the Jewish tradition dating all
the way back to Moses who received the Torah from Almighty G-d Himself. It
was these very rabbis who, at the time of the formation of the Zionist
movement, foresaw the pernicious outcome that was without a doubt lined
up. It was a man possessing outstanding Judaic genius, and a level of
uncontested holiness who enunciated the Jewish stance regarding Zionism.

Grand
Rebbe Teitelbaum

This charismatic individual, the Rebbe of Satmar, Grand Rabbi Joel
Teitelbaum, did not mince any words. Straight to the point he called
Zionism "the work of Satan", "a sacrilege" and "a blasphemy". He forbade
any participation with anything even remotely associated with Zionism and
said that Zionism was bound to call the wrath of G-d upon His people. He
maintained this stance with unwavering bravery from the onset of Zionism
whilst he was still in Hungary up until his death in New York where he
lead a congregation numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Grand Rabbi
Teitelbaum, scion to a legacy of holy mystics and Hassidic Masters
unfortunately had his prediction fulfilled. We lost more than six million
of our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters in a very horrible manner.
This, more than six million holy people had to experience as punishment
for the Zionist stupidity. The Holocaust, he wept, was a direct result of
Zionism, a punishment from G-d.

IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT ALL THE SAGES AND SAINTS IN EUROPE AT
THE TIME OF HITLER'S RISE DECLARED THAT HE WAS A MESSENGER OF DIVINE
WRATH, SENT TO CHASTEN THE JEWS BECAUSE OF THE BITTER APOSTASY OF ZIONISM
AGAINST THE BELIEF IN THE EVENTUAL MESSIANIC REDEMPTION.

But it doesn't end there. It wasn't enough for the Zionist leaders to
have aroused the wrath of G-d. They made a point of displaying abysmal
contempt for their Jewish brothers and sisters by actively participating
in their extermination. Just the idea alone of Zionism, which the rabbis
had informed them would cause havoc, was not enough for them. They made an
effort to pour fuel on an already burning flame. They had to incite the
Angel of Death, Adolf Hitler. They took the liberty of telling the world
that they represented World Jewry. Who appointed these individuals as
leaders of the Jewish People?? It is no secret that these so-called
"leaders" were ignoramuses when it came to Judaism. Atheists and racists
too. These are the "statesmen" who organized the irresponsible boycott
against Germany in 1933. This boycott hurt Germany like a fly attacking an
elephant - but it brought calamity upon the Jews of Europe. At a time when
America and England were at peace with the mad-dog Hitler, the Zionist
"statesmen" forsook the only plausible method of political amenability;
and with their boycott incensed the leader of Germany to a frenzy.
Genocide began, but these people, if they can really be classified as
members of the human race, sat back.

"No Shame"

President Roosevelt convened the Evian conference July 6-15
1938, to deal with the Jewish refugee problem. The Jewish Agency
delegation headed by Golda Meir (Meirson) ignored a German offer to allow
Jews to emigrate to other countries for $250 a head, and the Zionists made
no effort to influence the United States and the 32 other countries
attending the conference to allow immigration of German and Austrian Jews.

On Feb 1, 1940 Henry Montor executive vice-President of the United
Jewish Appeal refused to intervene for a shipload of Jewish refugees
stranded on the Danube river, stating that "Palestine cannot be flooded
with... old people or with undesirables." [Source]

Read "The
Millions That Could Have Been Saved" by I.Domb

It is an historical fact that in 1941 and again in 1942, the German
Gestapo offered all European Jews transit to Spain, if they would
relinquish all their property in Germany and Occupied France; on condition
that: a) none of the deportees travel from Spain to Palestine; and b) all
the deportees be transported from Spain to the USA or British colonies,
and there to remain; with entry visas to be arranged by the Jews living
there; and c) $1000.00 ransom for each family to be furnished by the
Agency, payable upon the arrival of the family at the Spanish border at
the rate of 1000 families daily.

The Zionist leaders in Switzerland and Turkey received this offer with
the clear understanding that the exclusion of Palestine as a destination
for the deportees was based on an agreement between the Gestapo and the
Mufti.

The answer of the Zionist leaders was negative, with the following
comments: a) ONLY Palestine would be considered as a destination for the
deportees. b) The European Jews must accede to suffering and death greater
in measure than the other nations, in order that the victorious allies
agree to a "Jewish State" at the end of the war. c) No ransom will be paid
This response to the Gestapo's offer was made with the full knowledge that
the alternative to this offer was the gas chamber.

These treacherous Zionist leaders betrayed their own flesh and blood.
Zionism was never an option for Jewish salvation. Quite the opposite, it
was a formula for human beings to be used as pawns for the power trip of
several desperadoes. A perfidy! A betrayal beyond description!

In 1944, at the time of the Hungarian deportations, a similar offer was
made, whereby all Hungarian Jewry could be saved. The same Zionist
hierarchy again refused this offer (after the gas chambers had already
taken a toll of millions).

The British government granted visas to 300 rabbis and their families
to the Colony of Mauritius, with passage for the evacuees through Turkey.
The "Jewish Agency" leaders sabotaged this plan with the observation that
the plan was disloyal to Palestine, and the 300 rabbis and their families
should be gassed.

On December 17, 1942 both houses of the British Parliament declared its
readiness to find temporary refuge for endangered persons. The British
Parliament proposed to evacuate 500,000 Jews from Europe, and resettle
them in British colonies, as a part of diplomatic negotiations with
Germany. This motion received within two weeks a total of 277
Parliamentary signatures. On Jan. 27, when the next steps were being
pursued by over 100 M.P.'s and Lords, a spokesman for the Zionists
announced that the Jews would oppose the motion because Palestine was
omitted. [Source]

On Feb. 16, 1943 Roumania offered 70,000 Jewish refugees of the
Trans-Dniestria to leave at the cost of $50 each. This was publicized in
the New York papers. Yitzhak Greenbaum, Chairman of the Rescue Committee
of the Jewish Agency, addressing the Zionist Executive Council in Tel Aviv
Feb. 18 1943 said, "when they asked me, "couldn't you give money out of
the United Jewish Appeal funds for the rescue of Jews in Europe, I said
NO! and I say again, NO!...one should resist this wave which pushes the
Zionist activities to secondary importance." On Feb. 24, 1943 Stephen
Wise, President of the American Jewish Congress and leader of the American
Zionists issued a public refusal to this offer and declared no collection
of funds would seem justified. In 1944, the Emergency Committee to Save
the Jewish People called upon the American government to establish a War
Refugee Board. Stephen Wise testifying before a special committee of
Congress objected to this proposal. [Source]

During the course of the negotiations mentioned above, Chaim Weizman,
the first "Jewish statesman" stated: "The most valuable part of the Jewish
nation is already in Palestine, and those Jews living outside Palestine
are not too important". Weizman's cohort, Greenbaum, amplified this
statement with the observation "One cow in Palestine is worth more than
all the Jews in Europe".

And then, after the bitterest episode in Jewish history, these Zionist
"statesmen" lured the broken refugees in the DP camps to remain in hunger
and deprivation, and to refuse relocation to any place but Palestine; only
for the purpose of building their State.

In 1947 Congressman William Stration sponsored a bill to immediately
grant entry to the United States of 400,000 displaced persons. The bill
was not passed after it was publicly denounced by the Zionist leadership.

These facts are read with consternation and unbearable shame. How can
it be explained that at a time during the last phase of the war, when the
Nazis were willing to barter Jews for money, partly because of their
desires to establish contact with the Western powers which, they believed,
were under Jewish influence, how was it possible one asks that the
self-proclaimed "Jewish leaders" did not move heaven and earth to save the
last remnant of their brothers?

On Feb. 23, 1956 the Hon. J. W. Pickersgill, Minister for Immigration
was asked in the Canadian House of Commons "would he open the doors of
Canada to Jewish refugees". He replied "the government has made no
progress in that direction because the government of Israel....does not
wish us to do so". [Source]

In 1972, the Zionist leadership successfully opposed an effort in the
United States Congress to allow 20,000-30,000 Russian refugees to enter
the United States. Jewish relief organizations, Joint and HIAS, were being
pressured to abandon these refugees in Vienna, Rome and other Europiean
cities. [Source]
The pattern is clear!!! Humanitarian rescue efforts
are subverted to narrow Zionist interests.

There were many more shocking crimes committed by these abject
degenerates known as "Jewish statesmen", we could list many more example,
but for the time being let anyone produce a valid excuse for the above
facts.

Zionist responsibility for the Holocaust is threefold.
