Nazis Were Given ‘Safe Haven’ in U.S., Report Says

[scandal 951]

Let's take a step back and look at the cause of the Middle East crisis.

Yep, Israel, a country founded on land stolen from the Palestinians. If there was no Israel, there would be no Middle East crisis, no suffering, no deliberate genocide of the Palestinian people, which to this day only survive because of the neighboring nations.

Every country spoke out against Israel's Flottilla slaughter a few months back, except the US, of course. You may or may not know that the President's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is also an Israeli citizen, and that the Secretary of State's daughter is married to an Israeli citizen.

Draw your own conclusions; stating the obvious is tiring.

Oh, I've certainly drawn the obvious conclusions about you.

For the record - Rahm Emanuel is not an Israeli citizen. Not that there's any shame or anything wrong with being one, he just happens not to be one. He is Jewish and an outspoken supporter of Israel. Nothing wrong with either of those things either. Unless of course your name happens to be "Just Bob", then there's plenty wrong with being Jewish or a supporter of Israel.

Context is meaningful.

Most Japanese in this country (many non citizens) were located on the west coast. The West coast is exactly where we would expect Japan to enter or bomb the mainland from.

At that time the west coast was a large war-time manufacturing area ripe for effective bombing ... with the help of "on the ground" intel.

THough it may not have been known at the time IIRC, it was a Japanese national in Hawaii who was instrumental with providing Japan intel for that attack.

It wasn't irrational nor racial fear which prompted Roosevelt to relocate the Japanese....though as it turned out unnecessary.

I guarantee you if Japan had made it to our western shore line and we survived.... No one would have second guessed those internment camps for the Japanese, Italians or Germans.

As you say, context is meaningful, but Wikipedia, as a general source, often supplies little of it. That is the sanitized Daniel Pipes/Michele Malkin version of what happened. Both are White supremacists (Malkin thinks she's White).

less than 12,000 Germans as opposed to more than 10 times the number of Japanese detained. In context, and proportion, which was the larger population?

I wish I had more time to respond to this errant post, but I must run. I will return to do so later.

Gotta love the delusion that the ME's only problem is Israel and that without Israel it would be a land of peace, prosperity, and truly the land of milk and honey!

The facts are what they are: you suggested Italians and germans were ignored when many were in fact, deported and other detained.

It was also helpful that while a few repatriated themselves back to Europe, many volunteered to serve in the military without question, I believe Japanese Americans were willing to serve on a much lower scale though some did with great distinction.

You can simplify the Detainment of the Japanese and Japanese-Americans in both the USA and Canada as white-supremism but I think thats a lazy explanation toward a more complicated and very unfortunate response made at the time.

No doubt race was a factor..... but hardly the main one.

First of all, you need ALL the facts, not just the ones that conveniently support your position. In the absence of them from you, I will be back to provide them and show why Japanese received reparations and an apology for how they were treated.
