What Americans thought of Jewish refugees on the eve of World War II

A friend says: “There seems to be some serious misunderstanding about life for Jews in Germany. The restrictions placed on Jews were no worse than those on Blacks in the South under Jim Crow laws. That is not to diminish the impact of institutionalized anti-semitism and the Nuremburg laws, on Jews who had been well integrated in all levels of German society, but there was no indication in 1938 or even for the first two years of WWII (From September 1939 until the summer of 1941) that Jews would be subject to internal deportation, slave labor and murder. Jews may have wanted to leave Germany, but they knew when they boarded the St. Louis that it was not likely the U.S. would let them disembark.”

Because of the Holocaust, we can’t have nice things, such as a safe country.

When the USA had high unemployment during the 1930s, they had no need for immigrants. It’s not America’s responsibility to act against its self interest to save people fleeing persecution.

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Europe and the U.S. can’t refuse the refugees because you never know when the Jews are going to be refugees again. The fact that there’s a Jewish homeland doesn’t seem to matter.

Hold on a second, I have to admit, the author isn’t Jewish. He looks to be a second-generation Indian. But he was raised in NYC and went to Yale, so he’s got the pedigree. Also looks like he’s the kid of an Indian politician and intellectual.

What’s going on here. Are Indians picking up the slack for lazy Jews or something. Perhaps, Indian and other smart minorities have figured out that white guilt works best when you bring up blacks and Jews, and not so well when you bring up Indians and Chinese.

Ishaan Tharoor writes for the WP:

The results of the poll illustrated above by the useful Twitter account @HistOpinion were published in the pages of Fortune magazine in July 1938. Fewer than 5 percent of Americans surveyed at the time believed that the United States should raise its immigration quotas or encourage political refugees fleeing the fascist states in Europe — the vast majority of whom were Jewish — to voyage across the Atlantic. Two-thirds of the respondents, meanwhile, agreed with the proposition that “we should try to keep them out.”

To be sure, the United States was emerging from the Great Depression, hardly a climate where ordinary folks welcome immigrants and economic competition. The events of Kristallnacht — a wave of anti-Jewish pogroms in areas controlled by the Nazis — had yet to take place. And the poll’s use of the term “political refugees” could have conjured in the minds of the American public images of communists, anarchists and other perceived ideological threats.

But look at the next chart, also tweeted by @HistOpinion. Two-thirds of Americans polled in January 1939 — now well after the events of Kristallnacht — said they would not take in 10,000 German Jewish refugee children.

WSJ: Charges Announced in J.P. Morgan Hacking Case

kipa

From the Wall Street Journal:

In one of the biggest cybercrimes in history, federal prosecutors say, three men stole data on more than 100 million people from a dozen companies’ computers and used a vast global network of accomplices to turn it into hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal profits.

Indictments unsealed Tuesday in Manhattan and Atlanta accused the men and hundreds of their accomplices of carrying out last year’s big data breach at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and a host of other crimes around the world—involving computer networks in South Africa and Brazil, money laundered through Cyprus and illegal credit-card payments processed in Azerbaijan.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara on Tuesday said this “diversified criminal conglomerate” was “breathtaking” in the size and scope of its hacking.

The indictments allege the three defendants and their associates hacked into banks and other companies to obtain customer information that they later used in a pump-and-dump stock scheme. Meanwhile, the computer-hacking operation made possible a network of other criminal activity, including illegal Internet casinos, a payment processing service for other criminals and an unlicensed bitcoin exchange, prosecutors alleged.

Among the most lucrative was a pump-and-dump scheme, where the men would artificially inflate prices of penny stocks and then trick investors into buying them by sending spam to the email addresses they had stolen during the hacks. To further the scheme, the defendants sometimes engineered mergers with shell companies to create publicly traded stocks that could be manipulated, prosecutors said.

The mastermind of the enterprise, prosecutors allege, was Gery Shalon, a 31-year-old Israeli citizen and resident. The indictment described moments where he bragged about the success of his schemes, including the pump-and-dump one, which he allegedly called “a small step towards a large empire.”

When asked by a co-conspirator whether buying stocks in America was popular, Mr. Shalon allegedly responded: “It’s like drinking freaking vodka in Russia.”

ISIS Is Islam

ISIS is not the only form of Islam but it is fair dinkum authentic Islam.

Robert writes on FB: Good to know: al-Azhar University (Cairo) refuses to deem ISIS terrorists as heretics. Al-Azhar is the closest equivalent for Sunni Islam as the Vatican is for Catholicism. BTW, al-Azhar’s main publication, “The Reliance of the Traveler,” explicitly endorses female genital mutilation — and in lovely, fully descriptive detail.
Yet time and again we’re fed the egregious lie that these terrorists have nothing to do with Islam.
I rarely use Facebook, and I almost never post anything political, but I refuse to be silent anymore. I also just read in the Washington Post (hat tip, Matthew J. Peterson) that it is on *us* to prove that Muslims can peacefully coexist in Western societies. Unbelievable. I’ll stick with Alexis Tocqueville who studied the Koran thoroughly and who, in intellectual caliber, leaves in the dust our moral pygmies berating and shaming us into complaisance:
“I studied the Koran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. So far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.”
and:
“Jihad, Holy war, is an obligation for all believers. … The state of war is the natural state with regard to infidels … [T]hese doctrines of which the practical outcome is obvious are found on every page and in almost every word of the Koran … The violent tendencies of the Koran are so striking that I cannot understand how any man with good sense could miss them.”

You will never guess how the U.S. is ‘vetting’ Syrian refugees

From American Thinker:

Both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have called for the US to accept more Syrian refugees, as long as they are properly "vetted", of course. But what does it mean to "vet" a refugee?

Normally, if someone wants to come into the United States, say, from France or Germany, our government can check with the French or German government to see if this person has a criminal record, or even is who he says he is.

But when it comes to refugees from Syria, what is called "vetting" relies mostly on one source of information: the refugee.

“The UNHCR referral is a crucial first step to gaining admittance to the U.S., but the candidate must then pass “the highest level of security checks conducted on any category of traveler to the United States,” a State Department official said.”

The highest level of checks! And then only after the United Nations has assured us that each refugee is okay! Very reassuring!

“The State Department will first collect biographical information about the candidate and determine whether they qualify for refugee status.”

Since there is no government to consult (unless the State Department wants to check with ISIS or Hizb’allah), there is only one source of information: the refugee. As long as the refugees don’t lie, I expect this system will catch all would-be terrorists.

“The case is then passed to the Department of Homeland Security, which will send a representative to conduct an in-person interview to further screen the applicant for security concerns and to determine whether the applicant is otherwise admissible, a State Department official said.”

You see? A terrorist would have to lie to not one but two branches of government to get into the country. So we’re perfectly safe.

And that’s the complete process. That’s all the vetting. As long as the terrorist isn’t an awful liar, anyone can get in.

I want a president who is going to look out for the security of the United States first. That means Donald Trump, Ben Carson, or Ted Cruz. All have said that they would not take in more Muslim refugees. Jeb and Marco either don’t know what they’re talking about, or they are being purposely disingenuous because they don’t care if we are “love-bombed” by Middle Easterners.

SPLC: Time to finally end mandatory sentencing minimums

The Southern Poverty Law Center hates white America and they wage war on the decent while protecting criminals.

Here are some of their recent tweets:

* Governor Robert Bentley has made it clear: Alabama is open for business, but is closed for compassion.

* These are the states that say they will not accept Syrian refugees…

* Medicaid Expansion Would Help More Latino Families Succeed

* Washington state takes a stand against fear and for compassion. Good on Gov. Inslee.

* Why Missouri Has Become The Heart Of Racial Tension In America

* Congress to hold first-ever forum on violence against transgender people

* Indiana now… It’s a race to the ugly bottom.

* Governors of Ala., Texas, Mich., and now La. have announced they will not help resettle Syrian refugees. Shameful.

Terror is just a tactic

It’s a tactic Jews used to create the modern state of Israel. Some terrorists are enemies of the West and some terrorists are not.

Islam has shown itself to be an implacable enemy of the West for more than 1300 years. Even if Muslims were all law-abiding and charitable, the West has no interest in having them in its midst because they are enemies.

Aiming for Clarity writes:

Let’s take a sort-of metrics-based analysis. I worry that the author of this thesis – Dr. Peter Hammond, who wrote “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat”- may be/ is a biggot. But it’s hard to argue with these numbers:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in: Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and ***ya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

COMMENT: This led to a book on Amazon and a review of the contents of said book: “Among the interesting items in the book:
– one of Muhammad’s wives was 6 when he married her and 9 when he consummated the marriage.
– most of the historical Biblical stories related in the Koran are factually incorrect.
– Muslims are forbidden from having Jewish or Christian friends.
– Jihad is the second most important duty of every Muslim.
– only 5% of all slaves involved in the slave trade were sold in the United States.
– half of all children born today in Belgium are Muslim.
– there may be as many as 25,000 Al-Qaeda supporters in the UK.
– Muslims comprise 4% of the population in Denmark, but consume 40% of the welfare spending.
– 75% of the convicted rapists in Denmark are Muslim.
– Muslims comprise 95% of the convicted rapists and 85% of the convicted murderers in France and Italy.
– the average European woman has 1.5 children, the average Muslim woman living in Europe has 7 children.
– non-Muslims have virtually no rights in Muslim countries.
– since 1948, the 21 Arab countries have been involved in 30 wars, 63 successful revolutions, at least 75 failed revolutions, and the assassination of 36 heads of state.”

HIAS Statement on Paris and Beirut Attacks
NOV 16, 2015BLOG POST
WASHINGTON—Mark Hetfield, president and CEO of HIAS, the global Jewish nonprofit that protects refugees, released the following statement in response to the attacks in Paris and Beirut last week:

“All of us at HIAS extend our deepest condolences for the people of Paris and Beirut, for the families who lost loved ones. We pray for the recovery of the wounded. Words alone cannot express our sadness over these events.

“HIAS condemns these monstrous acts of terror and the mass murderers who committed them. May they be brought to justice.

“We at HIAS are also saddened to see politicians citing these tragic events as a reason to put safe haven further out of reach for refugees. The world needs to stay focused on fighting terrorism and hatred, not on building walls of brick as well as paper to keep refugees out.

“Refugees resettled to the United States are already subject to multiple layers of security screenings. Of course, the United States must continue to rigorously screen refugees to ensure that terrorists are not disguising themselves as refugees to gain access to resettlement. But as a rule, refugees do not bring terror, they flee terror. And at this tragic time in human history, where there are more refugees and displaced persons than at any time since the Second World War, we must take care to protect refugees and asylum seekers, not scapegoat them.”

Hetfield is scheduled to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, on Thursday, November 19.

From January 7, 2014 HIAS testimony:

A major obstacle to resettling Syrian refugees in the United States is likely to be the application of the Terrorism-Related Inadmissibility Grounds (TRIG) to Syrian refugees. This could bar from resettlement anyone who provided even the most minimal levels of “support”—including a meal or a night of lodging in one’s home—to anyone who engaged in resistance against the Assad regime. Children are not exempt from the TRIG bars to admission.

Since the USA Patriot Act expanded the definitions of “terrorist activity” and “terrorist group” in 2001 to include any armed opposition or support for armed groups, regardless of the goals or aims of the group or whether the United States also provides them with support, thousands of bona fide refugees have been kept from resettling or receiving permanent legal status in the United States.

The U.S. government must ensure that Syrian refugees who are otherwise eligible for resettlement and need protection are not barred because of overbroad terrorism definitions that should not be applied to them.

IRAP and HIAS endorse recommendations listed in the RCUSA Statement for the Record and urge the Administration to implement the authority Congress has granted it to exempt Syrian refugees from the TRIG provisions of U.S. law.

Jewish Elite Solution To ISIS: Invade Middle East, Restrict Free Speech

Rabbi Abraham Cooper writes:

Someone’s boots—perhaps NATO’s— will have to get on the ground so that the ISIS snake can be beheaded, not innocent Christians, Muslims, and Yazidis. Large-scale ISIS casualties and destruction of their training bases will destroy their nexus to extremists who have returned to Europe. A NATO force would also help secure an immediate humanitarian goal of establishing a safe-haven/no fly zone for the millions of displaced Syrians that would at least slow the flood of humanity storming the shores of Europe…
Finally, social media giants must join the war against terror. When will Twitter finally wake up? Why do they continue to allow themselves to serve as the key platform for the cheerleaders of depravity? And Silicon Valley leaders may want to take note that the apps they are generating are not only allowing teens to hide their sexual antics from their parents, but enabling mass murderers to threaten us all.

Jewish Actor Seth Rogen Takes on Macklemore for ‘Anti-Semitic’ Costume

REPORT:

Comedic actor Seth Rogen on Sunday derided rapper Macklemore after the Same Love singer donned a costume during a performance that some criticized as “anti-Semitic.”

“@Macklemore, first you trick people into thinking you’re a rapper, now you trick them into thinking you’re Jewish?” Rogen, who is Jewish, wrote on Twitter.

Macklemore’s offending outfit, worn on Friday, included a fake wig and beard, and an over-sized prosthetic nose. He unveiled the look at a surprise concert with Ryan Lewis in his hometown of Seattle, which was held at the opening of a new exhibit at the city’s EMP Museum called “Spectacle: The Music Video.”

While Seattle Weekly reported that the Grammy winner’s disguise was an attempt to avoid detection prior to his two-song performance, Macklemore’s look was roundly criticized for portraying negative Jewish stereotypes.

Jewish human right group B’nai B’rith International said the “costume choice by singer Macklemore, in which he wore a hook nose while singing a song about frugality called Thrift Shop, is deeply offensive and propagates Jewish stereotypes.”

“His costume choice and subsequent response demonstrate an utter lack of sensitivity. Stereotypes are dangerous and offensive. Stereotypes dehumanize— removing individuality and promoting intolerance,” the group added.

Comments on Twitter:

* But it is OK for @Sethrogen to mock a Christian holiday. Mocking Christians = edgy. Mocking Jews = HATE.

* His latest movie has him vomiting in church
