.> ... my guess is that it[Israel] would have happened without the Holocaust.
.> Also it’s worth remembering that the Holocaust was not a big issue in the 1940s. On the contrary; it became a big issue after 1967. If you take a look at the Holocaust museums, the Holocaust studies programs, it’s post-’67. It’s very striking in the USA.
.> the Holocaust was considered a way to damn the enemy, but it was not a meaningful concept. When the first scholarly study of the Holocaust came out, by Raul Hilberg, it was condemned. “Let’s not bring out all that stuff; we do not want that.”...
.> It’s in English too. But it’s been so suppressed that nobody knows about it. It’s deeply hidden but it does exist. The translation of the Hebrew title is “Good Human Material.” The idea was that the good human material was going to be cannon fodder. Nobody studied it, but you can be pretty sure that coming to the US was what they would have chosen. That’s what the Holocaust meant. You can see it in propaganda. Truman is very much honored because he was trying to force the British to send Jews to Palestine. Nobody asks why Truman did not say, “Okay, let’s take a hundred thousand Jews here.”
.> ... off to Palestine. The first book on this, which has been a suppressed topic, appeared a couple of years ago, a Yosef Grodzinsky book.
