WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY News Journal Update - (en) Italy, UCADI #178 I-6 - The anarchist communists, the Jewish and Palestinian questions I. - The Schoah and the " necessary migration" (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Starting from the so-called Arierparagraph decree of 7 April 1933 and

even more after the enactment of the Nuremberg laws ("law for the
protection of German blood and honor" and "law on citizenship of the
Reich"), promulgated on 14 September 1935 , the policy of forced
emigration of German Jews to Palestine suffered increasing difficulties
due to the resistance of the English, holders of the mandate over
Palestine, to allow access to the fleeing persecuted people. ---- This
was as the Jewish population within the German area of influence
continued to grow due to Hitler's expansionist policies. It is a fact
that from 1933 to 1938 approximately 150,000 Jews emigrated from the
territories controlled by the Germans and in 1939 Eichmann's office, by
exerting strong pressure, managed to emigrate 78,000 people thanks to
contacts between Zionist agents and German secret agents of the SD .
When it occurred, however, it raised Hitler's concerns about the
possible rebirth of a Jewish nation in Palestine, but thanks to the
British refusal to accept more Jews due to tensions with the Arabs, the
program was stopped. This happened while other nations traditionally
hospitable to Jews such as Switzerland and Sweden reduced the reception
of Jews fleeing from Poland, Romania, Hungary where anti-Semitic
demonstrations were growing, as indeed in France, the United States and
England where Immigration laws were tightened. The Jews of central
Europe had no choice but to flee eastward via Lithuania and the Soviet
Union and even Shanghai and Japan, while others had to go to Spain and
Portugal to find hospitality. The flow of migrants from the territories
under German control became so small that in 1941 just 13,000 Jews
managed to reach Palestine, via the Romanian ports on the Danube. Of the
400,000 refugees who fled from Germany and German-dominated territories,
approximately half settled in European countries and when these became
subject to German occupation they ended up falling back into persecution
at the hands of the Germans at war. Meanwhile in Palestine the settlers
had created, in the aftermath of the Balfour declaration, a Jewish
military organization, as a development of the already existing armed
groups for "defense" (Hebrew Haganah) of the Jews by Arab terrorism who
opposed the seizure of their lands. According to the report of the
Anglo-American committee of inquiry of April 1946, it could count on
over 60,000 well-armed and disciplined units and its own radio. His
mobile squads (Palmach) were made up of around 2,000 men in peace and
around 6,000 in war. The action of the Haganah aimed at militarily
defending the Jewish colonies in Palestine; to support immigration.
Alongside the Haganah which formed the basis of the future Israeli army,
the Irgun Tzvai Leumi, in Hebrew "National Military Organisation", a
Zionist paramilitary group known as Etzel and considered terrorist by
Great Britain, operated from 1931 to 1948. The organization founded by
Avraham Tehomi argued that «every Jew had the right to enter Palestine,
that only active retaliation would intimidate the Arabs and that only a
Jewish armed force would secure the State of Israel», the group carried
out attacks terrorism and retaliation as a central part of its initial
efforts.
The Irgun differentiated itself from the Haganah, dissociating itself
from socialist ideology and the prevailing strategy of the Havlagah ,
and resorted to the use of terrorism in defense of the Jews in Palestine
and the project of forming a Jewish state. Its overriding objectives
were to offer a non-socialist and distinctly nationalist alternative to
the leadership of Zionist organizations; eliminate or reduce the danger
of Arab attacks against Jewish targets, ensuring harsh retaliation in
response to any attack; put an end to British Mandatory Government.
Jewish terrorism soon engaged in a no-holds-barred fight against the
English occupiers which was interrupted with the outbreak of the world
conflict and resumed in February 1944, under the new leadership of
Menachem Begin, future prime minister of Israel). The organization
resumed hostilities against the British authorities, carrying out the
attack on the King David Hotel in Jerusalem (91 dead, including 17
Jewish civilians) and the assault on the British prison in Acre (16
April 1947). Following these attacks, numerous Irgun activists were
captured, imprisoned and some were sentenced to death and hanged.[10]

But the climate had now changed; with the arrival of the Allied troops
in the territories occupied by Germany, the world became aware of the
horrible massacre carried out in the extermination camps which should
have allowed the Third Reich to begin the final solution to the Jewish
problem. When the photos and videos portraying the Schoah survivors were
made public and horrified the consciences of all those who had been
quiescent towards the campaign of hatred unleashed against the Jews, it
happened that many of those who had remained silent or simply turned
away on the other hand, thinking that such a terrible fate would not
befall them, they decided to clear their consciences by allowing the
Jews who wanted it and had the means to do so to flock to Palestine.
Thus the bad conscience of Europe and the world allowed one people to
build their own identity at the expense of another, expropriating the
land in which they were born and had lived for centuries, claiming it as
their own and exclusive. Thus, after the British decision (February
1947) to refer the Palestinian problem to the United Nations and the
failure of the proposed solution of the creation of a single
non-denominational and pluralist state as envisaged in the White Book on
Palestine of 1939 prepared by the titular state of Mandate, the victory
of the Zionist forces in the military conflict with the Arab forces led
to the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948.

[10]The history of Zionist terrorism is long and complex and has seen
several phases. This is not the place in which to reconstruct it, since
it presents particular and specific characteristics that are independent
of the purpose of this document except for the fact that it attests that
when a people is subjected to an attack that calls into question its
very existence, it also resorts to terrorism to defend itself and, in
doing so, ends up digging a furrow of unquenchable hatred with the other
side, as is happening today with the work of Palestinian terrorist
organizations.
