Against Our Better Judgment: The hidden history of how the U.S. was used to create Israel

by Alison Weir

Americans have given far more of our tax money to Israel than to any other nation, and to the region in general. In addition, the U.S. government frequently vetoes international initiatives on Israel that virtually all other nations endorse. As a result, our support for Israel has created growing hostility against the United States,

since I felt that to understand a current situation, it is essential to understand what created it.

Agreed

U.S. connection to Israel as one of the most critical issues in the world today,

Ya think?!

They were simply outmaneuvered and eventually replaced.

In memo after memo, year after year, U.S. diplomatic and military experts pointed out that Zionism was counter to both U.S. interests and principles.

Germany‘s submarine warfare, Germany’s sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania,

This sinking was a complete accident. The ship, if I can remember was completely misidentified.The U-Boat Captain profusely apologized & was arrested/detained along with other sailors on that U-boat.

Diverse documentary evidence shows that Zionists pushed for the U.S. to enter the war on Britain’s side as part of a deal to gain British support for their colonization of Palestine.

(Benjamin Freedman 1961 speech—see youtube)——By 1916, Germany won WW1. Britain had about a weeks worth of food left, France had no ammo or arms left to use, Russia didn’t want to play war anymore & packed up. Germany held off the foreign invaders & not one shot or enemy infiltrated German soil. A Banker/Newspaper owner? ...I believe? in return for getting the US into WW1, they wanted British help with a jewish colonization of Palestine(hence now Israel). What is now Israel was a British colony. After 1916, propaganda against Germany began.

(although they were told that Jews could settle throughout other parts of the Ottoman empire and become Turkish citizens).[65]

telling the British government that Zionists in the U.S. would push America to enter the war on the side of the British, if the British promised to support a Jewish home in Palestine afterward.[69]

In 1917 British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour issued a letter to Zionist leader Lord Rothschild. Known as the Balfour Declaration, this letter promised that Britain would “view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people” and “use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object.”

Leopold Amery, a British official who, it came out later, was a secret and fervent Zionist.[74]

“gentleman’s agreement” had been made in 1916 between the British government and Zionist leaders:

Weizmann

“Jewish help that brought U.S.A. into the war on the side of the Allies,” thus causing the defeat of Germany.[79] He went on to state that this had “rankled” in Germany ever since and “contributed in no small measure to the prominence which anti-Semitism occupies in the Nazi programme.”

US State Department officials considered that Zionists had worked to scuttle this potentially peace-making mission and were unhappy about it.[92] Zionists often construed such displeasure at their actions as evidence of American diplomats’ “anti-Semitism.”

Wow......if u just mention the word “Jew”....u will be labeled as an anti-semite. Even of u repeat what others say, or reiterate research others did, ur an anti-semite.

The Allies stripped the defeated Empire of its Middle Eastern holdings and divided them between Britain and France, which were to hold them under a “mandate” system until the populations were “ready” for self-government. Britain got the mandate over Palestine.

The commissioners stated that the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine could be accomplished only with “the gravest trespass upon the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine,” pointing out that to subject the Palestinians “to steady financial and social pressure to surrender the land, would be a gross violation of the principle [of self-determination] and of the peoples’ rights…”[100]

“with the burial of the King-Crane Report, a major obstacle in the Zionist path disappeared.”[105]

The idea behind Zionism was to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape anti-Semitism.[108] Combined with this was the belief that all Jews would and should come to the Jewish state in a massive “ingathering of exiles.”[109]

You can’t really blame anyone for wanting a home. But how it was went about...just didn’t seem right. I understand through out history (I have read & heard) they were persecuted to a point of being kicked out of countries, but why were they kicked out. What happened in that time frame. It just can’t be all discriminating reasons? Can it? There’s gotta be more to the story, there always more.

Even if they decline to help, we will bring the youth to Israel; but I hope that this will not be necessary.”[110]

Now why would he say this? I just don’t get it.

There are various documented cases in which fanatical Zionists exploited, exaggerated, invented, or even perpetrated “anti-Semitic”

Is it right to use others against their will to ur own end?

Historians have documented that Zionists sabotaged efforts to find safe havens for Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in order to convince the world that Jews could only be safe in a Jewish state.[115]

Morris Ernst, FDR‘s international envoy for refugees, wrote in his memoir that when he worked to help find refuge for those fleeing Hitler, “…active Jewish leaders decried, sneered and then attacked me as if I were a traitor.

“little concerned about human blood if it is not their own.”[120]

There was even a certain amount of collusion between Zionists and Nazi leaders.

the “transfer agreement,” a 1933 pact

Adolph Hitler became the chief economic sponsor of Israel.”[128]

Israeli author Tom Segev explains that the agreement “was based on the complementary interests of the German government and the Zionist movement: the Nazis wanted the Jews out of Germany; the Zionists wanted them to come to Palestine.”[129]

According to Landman, Zionist actions were responsible for the U.S. entry into World War I on the side of Britain.

Benjamin Freedman iterated this in a speech he did in the 60’s. There is even a vinyl I heard you can buy.

the Jewish state in Palestine that the British had allegedly promised in return for Jewish help in winning the war.[132]

“in attempts to portray the Iraqis as anti-American and to terrorize the Jews,” according to author and former CIA operative Wilbur Crane Eveland.[134]

“Jews killed Jews.” He goes on to say that in an effort “to buy time to confiscate ever more Arab lands, Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their Arab neighbors.”[136]

As a Jewish writer pointed out in a Zionist journal, “...forcing foreign rule upon the majority of the population so that a minority may achieve political, economic and cultural privileges does not accord with the conscience of people bred in America and western Europe to the principles of free self-government.”[140]

financial resources: $14 million in 1941, $150 million by 1948. This was four times more than Americans contributed to the Red Cross and was the equivalent of approximately $1.5 billion today.[149]

Nor did they learn that during and after Israel’s founding 1947-49 war, Zionist forces attacked a number of Christian sites. Donald Neff, former Time Magazine Jerusalem bureau chief and author of five books on Israel-Palestine, reports in detail on Zionist attacks on Christian sites in May 1948, the month of Israel’s birth.

“The group’s statement said Arab forces had abided by their promise to respect Christian institutions, but that the Jews had forcefully occupied Christian structures and been indiscriminate in shelling churches,” reports Neff. He quotes a Catholic priest: “‘Jewish soldiers broke down the doors of my church and robbed many precious and sacred objects. Then they threw the statues of Christ down into a nearby garden.’ [The priest] added that Jewish leaders had reassured that religious buildings would be respected, ‘but their deeds do not correspond to their words.’”[169]

An American Christian Biblical scholar concurred, reporting that a friend in Jerusalem had been told, “When we get control you can take your dead Christ and go

Henderson elaborated further on how plans to partition Palestine would violate American and UN principles: “...[Proposals for partition] are in definite contravention to various principles laid down in the [UN] Charter as well as to

principles on which American concepts of Government are based. These proposals, for instance, ignore such principles as self-determination and majority rule. They recognize the principle of a theocratic racial state and even go so far in several instances as to discriminate on grounds of religion and race…”[182] Zionists attacked Henderson virulently, calling him “anti-Semitic,” demanding his resignation, and threatening his family. They pressured the State Department to transfer him elsewhere; one analyst describes this as “the historic game of musical chairs” in which officials who recommended Middle East policies “consistent with the nation’s interests” were moved on.[183]

He wrote that his views were not only those of the entire Near East Division but were shared by “nearly every member of the Foreign Service or of the [State] Department who has worked to any appreciable extent on Near Eastern problems.”[186]

In 1947 the CIA reported that Zionist leadership was pursuing objectives that would endanger both Jews and “the strategic interests of the Western powers in the Near and Middle East.”[187]

Former Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson also opposed Zionism. Acheson‘s biographer writes that Acheson “worried that the West would pay a high price for Israel.” Another author, John Mulhall, records Acheson‘s warning of the danger for U.S. interests:

Merriam added that without consent, “bloodshed and chaos” would follow, a tragically accurate prediction.

Truman‘s Secretary of State George Marshall, the renowned World War II General and author of the Marshall Plan, was furious to see electoral considerations taking precedence over policies based on national interest. He condemned what he called a “transparent dodge to win a few votes,” which would make “[t]he great dignity of the office of President seriously diminished.”[198]

Forrestal represented the general Pentagon view when he said that “no group in this country should be permitted to influence our policy to the point where it could endanger our national security.”[201]

No American political leader has the right to compromise American interests to gain partisan votes…”[204]

Truman wrote in his memoirs: “I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House as I had in this instance.” There were now about a million dues-paying Zionists in the U.S.[206]

While many Americans have been aware of Truman‘s come-from-behind win over Dewey, few people know about the critical role of Feinberg and the Zionist lobby in financing Truman‘s victory.
