That's correct. During the 1930s, there was a strong "non-involvement" streak in US politics and the intention was to stay out of the war. There was also strong anti-immigrant sentiment and the US refused to accept many Jewish refugees. The most notorious case was the M.S. St. Louis in 1939. The US government refused to allow the ship with 900 Jewish refugees to land in Miami. After Cuba revoked most of the visas and refused to allow the refugees to land, the M.S. St. Louis went back to Europe and 1/3 of the passengers were eventually murdered by the Nazis. It's because of the Holocaust that the modern refugee and asylum programs were sent up under international law and which are now being objected to by some participants on this forum.sojourner wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2024 6:11 pmAs I recall, the US did'n't wait to enter the war until enough Jews were killed. They entered the war after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Originally, I believe it was the US's intention to stay out of the war.mike wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2024 4:36 pmWhat I said.slave wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2024 4:31 pm
Professor Antony C. Sutton:
America knew what the Nazis were, yet America financed them. It was all planned by America. They even knew of the Holocaust but did not stop it. America was the world power number 1 since 1900. They had the power to crush nazi germany, but they did decide to wait until enough Jews were killed.
US policy was anti-Semitic and it didn't enter the war to save Jews from the Holocaust, but that's a far cry from the claim that the US installed Hitler as a puppet. That's ridiculous.
