Those that do not study history are condemned to repeat it. Anti-semitism takes many forms and has many contributing factors. To say it’s this reason or that reason alone is disingenuous. In the early 20th century there was a rise in antisemitism for a number of reasons: 1) Antisemitism was part of European culture for over 1000 years, mostly due to Christian Europe despising the Jewish treatment of Christ - the messiah. Note the pogroms of Eastern Europe and the treatment of Jews huddled in ghettos (e.g. merchant of Venice) where Jews would be locked in at night. 2) German Jews despite having been given preferential treatment due to their level of education and skills/trade that were of great use during the industrialisation of Germany in the early/mid 19th century. Following the defeat of Germany in WW1, a number of Jews turned up at the Treaty of Versailles on the Allied side of the table despite being German. The reasons for this are of course the agreement between the Zionist federation and the British government to get America into the war on the British side. What they wanted was of course Palestine which Britain was ruling under mandate. Hence the Balfour declaration being addressed to Lord Rothschild in 1917. 3) The systematic destruction of the Weimar economy through economic warfare. As anyone knows, periods of oppression have always been preceded by periods of economic depression. The Great Depression was generally thought of as a consequence of the failure of Governments, banking and traditional economic theory. Most successful industrialists were considered to be Jews - rightly or wrongly, the perception was there. 4) Communist threat to Royalty, Western democracies and Churches. Communism was generally regarded as a Jewish phenomenon since most of the leading bolsheviks were also Jewish (even though most of them had rejected religion). Examples include Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Zinoviev, Sverdlov, Radek, Litvinov, Uritsky and Kamanev amongst others. Following the capitulation of tsarist Russia, communism began to spread rapidly, polarisation of ideology occurred and a once liberal nation was thrust between the two extremes. 5) Most of the perceived corrupting influences on society were Jewish. These included porn theatres, cabaret clubs, pornography (printed), homosexuality amongst others were mostly owned by Jews. Reference an excellent talk by Rabbi Yaron Reuven here on YT to understand better. For all these reasons and many more, a fruitless attempt to exterminate an entire race through collective punishment. Despotism, oppression and violence against a people will never work. Evil will never prevail. Just a shame that Israeli Jews are going down the same path the nazis did. Most of today’s antisemitism is actually fuelled by Israeli treatment of Palestinians. The reason given is that Jews have a superiority complex over this land and that God has promised it for them, and as they are God’s most favoured nation, they can do as they please to the Goyim. Just as the whole nazi infrastructure was demolished, so shall the Israelis be, it’s just a matter of time. At some point the Muslims will put their differences behind them and unite on their religion. When that happens, the non-Muslim world is in trouble. And when that happens, you will know who to blame.

My mom saw Hitler in Italy. She was there in Rome that day when Hitler was visiting Mussolini. She couldn't understand how such an unremarkable person could cause so much trouble. The ignorance in the USA is sad. Get an education people.
Remember people, this genicide happened less than 80 years ago. I am sick of hearing Americans complain about our Government. We are such a free country. He is alarmed because of how divided and hateful we have become, specificallyin terms of our Government and politics. Meanwhile, we are nowhere near as bad as this was, and we protest over the dumbest shit.
Google Tiger Legionnaires who were 4800 East Indians who fought alongside the Germans in German uniform, the Germans had all kinds of different races in their army’s!!!
