World War I Percolating to World War II; Will the Same Begin III ?

                                         Evening dress of Flappers on May 30, 1923

Good times were here; the days of the Flappers.  1929 came along with the Wall Street crash of 1929, also known as the Great Crash,  that was a major stock market crash in the United States which began in late October 1929 with a sharp decline in prices on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and ended in mid-November.  People committed suicide of they owned stocks which crashed.  

Jews came together and spoke with the English,  the side of the Allies  who wrote the Balfour Doctrine, a paper promising to help create the Jewish Homeland which was due after over 2,000 years of waiting.  Then English were given the 30 year mandate to police Palestine; and wound up keeping Jews out while allowing Arabs in at a time when Jews were rounded up by Nazis and murdered by gas and by bullets.  At the end when the mandate was up and English left, the new state of Israel was pronounced to the world.  The English did not keep their word, either.  

Zelensky has had his taste of broken promises as well with Russia, so knowing and studying history, realized he had better have a dependable contract to show his people with the USA.  No doubt he had been warned by his people.  

The Paris Peace Conference was a set of formal and informal diplomatic meetings in 1919 and 1920 after the end of World War I, in which the victorious Allies set the peace terms for the defeated Central Powers. Dominated by the leaders of Britain, France, the United States and Italy, the conference resulted in five treaties that rearranged the maps of Europe and parts of Asia, Africa and the Pacific Islands, and also imposed financial penalties.  Notice at the time who the leading countries of power were;  Britain, France and the USA.  Italy had taken sides with the Axis and had been a loser in WWII.  Actually, The five great powers at that time, France, Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States, controlled the Conference. 

The "Big Four" leaders were French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, US President Woodrow Wilson, and Italian Prime Minister Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. Together with teams of diplomats and jurists, they met informally 145 times and agreed upon all major decisions before they were ratified.                     

     Red teardrop is Ukraine, evidently

Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Serbia,  Bulgaria, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Latvia, Slovakia:  all in danger.  

It is life or death for Ukraine and those neighbors nearby when a monster is trying to gobble up the largest one, Ukraine first.  Poland will be next, etc.  Russia is trying its hardest to become like the USSR again and have control over all those rights of peoples' mineral deposits, water rights,  and financial bank accounts, not to mention taking away their peoples' freedoms.  To be a "slave" to Russia is not a cheerful thought.  

Trump's first 'Peace Conference" taped for TV, pleased him with all the yelling at Zelensky that was plainly shown.  As it is, it showed all of us viewers just how it came about with Vance butting in out of the blue with no connection to what Trump was saying that Zelensky was trying to correct.  

Sadly, Trump's team never thought about the fact that Zelensky, who must have practiced his English even more for this meeting across the ocean on his plane was at a handicap being a native Ukranian speaker, not an English speaker.  He did have a translator standing by in tense moments, though.  Flight time from Kiev to Washington, DC is 11 hours 48 minutes (12 hours if lucky). Distance from Kiev to Washington, DC is approximately 7880 kilometers or 4896.4049948 miles.

WHY SUCH A SURGE OF WORLDWIDE ANTI-SEMITISM

by ALAN DERSHOWITZ

Why are so many of the grandchildren of Nazis and Nazi collaborators who brought us the Holocaust once again declaring war on the Jews?

Why have we seen such an increase in anti-Semitism and irrationally virulent anti-Zionism in Western Europe?

To answer these questions, a myth must first be exposed. That myth is the one perpetrated by the French, the Dutch, the Norwegians, the Swiss, the Belgians, the Austrians, and many other western Europeans: namely that the Holocaust was solely the work of German Nazis aided perhaps by some Polish, Ukrainian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian collaborators.

False.

The Holocaust was perpetrated by Europeans: by Nazi sympathizers and collaborators among the French, Dutch, Norwegians, Swiss, Belgians, Austrians and other Europeans, both Western and Eastern.

If the French government had not deported to the death camps more Jews than their German occupiers asked for; if so many Dutch and Belgian citizens and government officials had not cooperated in the roundup of Jews; if so many Norwegians had not supported Quisling; if Swiss government officials and bankers had not exploited Jews; if Austria had not been more Nazi than the Nazis, the Holocaust would not have had so many Jewish victims.

In light of the widespread European complicity in the destruction of European Jewry, the pervasive anti-Semitism and irrationally hateful anti-Zionism that has recently surfaced throughout Western Europe toward Israel should surprise no one.

"Oh no," we hear from European apologists. "This is different. We don't hate the Jews. We only hate their nation-state. Moreover, the Nazis were right-wing. We are left-wing, so we can't be anti-Semites."

Nonsense.

The hard left has a history of anti-Semitism as deep and enduring as the hard right. The line from Voltaire to Karl Marx, to Levrenti Beria, to Robert Faurisson, to today's hard-left Israel bashers is as straight as the line from Wilhelm Mars to the persecutors of Alfred Dreyfus to Hitler.

The Jews of Europe have always been crushed between the Black and the Red - victims of extremism whether it be the ultra-nationalism of Khmelnitsky to the ultra-anti-Semitism of Stalin.

"But some of the most strident anti-Zionists are Jews, such as Norman Finkelstein and even Israelis such as Gilad Atzmon. Surely they can't be anti-Semites?"

Why not? Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas collaborated with the Gestapo. Atzmon, a hard leftist, describes himself as a proud self-hating Jew and admits that his ideas derive from a notorious anti-Semite.

He denies that the Holocaust is historically proved but he believes that Jews may well have killed Christian children to use their blood to bake Passover matzah. And he thinks it's "rational" to burn down synagogues.

Finkelstein believes in an international Jewish conspiracy that includes Steven Spielberg, Leon Uris, Eli Wiesel, and Andrew Lloyd Webber!

"But Israel is doing bad things to the Palestinians," the European apologists insist, "and we are sensitive to the plight of the underdog."

No, you're not! Where are your demonstrations on behalf of the oppressed Tibetans, Georgians, Syrians, Armenians, Kurds, or even Ukrainians? Where are your BDS movements against the Chinese, the Russians, the Cubans, the Turks, or the Assad regime?

Only the Palestinians, only Israel? Why? Not because the Palestinians are more oppressed than these and other groups.

Only because their alleged oppressors are Jews and the nation-state of the Jews. Would there be demonstrations and BDS campaigns on behalf of the Palestinians if they were oppressed by Jordan or Egypt?

Oh, wait! The Palestinians were oppressed by Egypt and Jordan... Gaza was an open-air prison between 1948 and 1967, when Egypt was the occupying power. And remember Black September, when Jordan killed more Palestinians than Israel did in a century? I don't remember any demonstration or BDS campaigns -- because there weren't any.

When Arabs occupy or kill Arabs, Europeans go ho-hum. But when Israel opens a soda factory in Maale Adumim, which even the Palestinian leadership acknowledges will remain part of Israel in any peace deal, Oxfam parts ways with Scarlett Johansson for advertising a soda company that employs hundreds of Palestinians

Keep in mind that Oxfam has provided "aid and material support" to two anti-Israel terrorist groups, according to the Tel Aviv-based Israeli Law Group.

The hypocrisy of so many hard-left western Europeans would be staggering if it were not so predictable based on the sordid history of Western Europe's treatment of the Jews.

Even England, which was on the right side of the war against Nazism, has a long history of anti-Semitism, beginning with the expulsion of the Jews in 1290 to the notorious White Paper of 1939, which prevented the Jews of Europe from seeking asylum from the Nazis in British-mandated Palestine... And Ireland, which vacillated in the war against Hitler, boasts some of the most virulent anti-Israel rhetoric.

The simple reality is that one cannot understand the current western European left-wing war against the nation-state of the Jewish people without first acknowledging the long-term European war against the Jewish people themselves.

Theodore Herzl understood the pervasiveness and irrationality of European anti-Semitism, which led him to the conclusion that the only solution to Europe's Jewish problem was for European Jews to leave that bastion of Jew hatred and return to their original homeland, which is now the State of Israel.

None of this is to deny Israel's imperfections or the criticism it justly deserves for some of its policies. But these imperfections and deserved criticism cannot even begin to explain, much less justify, the disproportionate hatred directed against the only nation-state of the Jewish people and the disproportionate silence regarding the far greater imperfections and deserved criticism of other nations and groups including the Palestinians.

Nor is this to deny that many western European individuals and some western European countries have refused to succumb to the hatred against the Jews or their state. The Czech Republic comes to mind. But far too many western Europeans are as irrational in their hatred toward Israel as their for-bearers were in their hatred toward their Jewish neighbors.

As author Amos Oz once aptly observed: the walls of his grandparents' Europe were covered with graffiti saying, "Jews, go to Palestine." Now they say, "Jews, get out of Palestine," by which is meant Israel.

Who do these western European bigots think they're fooling? Only fools who want to be fooled in the interest of denying that they are manifesting new variations on their grandparents' old biases.

Any objective person with an open mind, open eyes, and an open heart must see the double standard being applied to the nation-state of the Jewish people. Many doing so are the grandchildren of those who lethally applied a double standard to the Jews of Europe in the 1930s and 1940s.

For shame!

Jeffrey Sachs, Netanyahu's Enemy

 Nadene Goldfoot                                           

I just heard a 3 month old tape on youtube of Jeffrey Sachs speech and decided he's one of the worlds most hateful men who is against Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, blaming him for 7 wars "cleaning" out the Palestinians.  The sad thing is that he's highly educated, important to give this speech to politicians and is Jewish himself.

Sachs was raised in Oak Park, Michigan, in the Detroit metro area, and is the son of Joan (née Abrams) and Theodore Sachs, a labor lawyer. His family is Jewish. He graduated from Oak Park High School and attended Harvard College, where he received his Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, in 1976.  He went on to receive his M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from Harvard with his thesis titled Factor Costs and Macroeconomic Adjustment in the Open Economy: Theory and Evidence, and was invited to join the Harvard Society of Fellows while still a Harvard graduate student.

Jeffrey David Sachs  SAKS; born November 5, 1954), age 69, and 70 in November,  is an American economist and public policy analyst who is a professor at Columbia University, where he was formerly director of The Earth Institute. He worked on the topics of sustainable development and economic development.

For some reason he has it in for Netanyahu.  He spoke, mentioning and 

blaming Netanyahu for everything, so I have a feeling that he wasn't

adored for his work by Netanyahu, and he's got a grudge a mile long

against him.                              

In May 2022, Sachs said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 would be hard to beat and that Finland's moves to join NATO would undermine a negotiated peace: "All of this talk of defeating Russia, to my mind, is reckless." My comment is:He's very defensive and is all for Russia.  "In June 2022, he co-signed an open letter calling for a "ceasefire" in the war, questioning Western countries' continuing military support for Ukraine."

In 2022, Sachs appeared several times on one of the top-rated shows funded by the Russian government, hosted by Vladimir Solovyov, to call for Ukraine to negotiate and step away from its "maximalist demands" of removing Russia from Ukrainian territory.

Sachs ranted about Netanyahu's obsession to manipulate US foreign policy to "get 

rid of Hamas and Hezbollah" by removing regimes that support

 them via military  force.  (Thus, the 7 wars accusation.)  

'Dark son of a b****': Trump posts video of economist saying Netanyahu dragged US into wars."

US President-elect Donald Trump shared a video of Jewish-American economist

 Jeffrey Sachs on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Wednesday 

wherein Sachs called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a dark son of a b****”

 and of dragging the US into wars in the Middle East.(Jan.10,2025).  

Sachs then continued to allege that Netanyahu has manipulated Washington's foreign policy "from 1995 onward" in order to "get rid of Hamas and Hezbollah by toppling the governments that support them. That's Iraq, Syria, and Iran."  My gosh, that's a lot to blame on one teeny country!  Never mind that terrorists were trying to eliminate Israel with Iran's help !  That bit of fact seems to be   irrelevant to Sachs.  What was happening in 1995?  Rabin's funeral.  Rabin, the Prime Minister then,  was born in Jerusalem to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and was raised in a Labor Zionist household.  That's on the Left.  He was

assassinated.  

Rabin's funeral in 1995 was attended by many world leaders, among them U.S. president Bill Clinton, Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, and King Hussein of Jordan. Clinton delivered a eulogy whose final words were in Hebrew – "Shalom, haver" (Hebrew: שלום חבר, lit. 'Goodbye, friend').

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, the Jewish-American economist, has identified the source of all conflicts in the Middle East: Netanyahu. This sets new boundaries for hypocrisy and self-hating Jewish disconnect.  So said Anat Vidor of WIZO- Women's Internation Zionist Organization 

By: Anat Vidor, WIZO President

"To understand the speaker’s nature, let’s flip back in the same book. “Israel refuses the two-state solution,” the professor fires with moral rebuke near the war’s outbreak, “Israel is committing ethnic cleansing, genocide, massacre of tens of thousands,” “The world’s nations strongly oppose its policy except for the US, Micronesia, and Nauru. You’ll remain alone!” he threatens angrily like a modern-day prophet.

The truth apparently isn’t taught at the New York university that feeds on billions of Qatari dollars. The truth doesn’t interest the mob raging on campus, nor the confused Jewish professor watching them from his office window. So here’s the truth for those interested:

The Israeli government, with the people’s support, did everything to advance the “two states for two peoples” solution, an idea that collapsed due to the other side’s opposition, who won’t accept Jewish life in the Middle East in any form or size.

Israel transfers tens of thousands of aid trucks – a unique international demand from Israel – creates humanitarian corridors, and does everything to avoid harming innocent civilians, if there are any in Gaza. Apparently, despite the “genocide,” Hamas militants still control Gaza. Strange."

Thank you Anat.  

By doing this, Sachs is discarding our own Jewish history,  from our beginnings to today, fearful and falling into believing the anti-Semites of the world.  Being a professor and passing this along to students is one of the causes of anti-Semitism in the USA.
