About the Eerie Collaboration between the Zionists and the Fascist Dictators

Preface by: Dieter Elken
With the creation of the myth about the foundation of Erez Israel in 1948 almost all evidence of entanglements of the Zionist circles with the Fascist dictators of Europe was destroyed or justified afterwards as necessary to save the Jews of Europe. Israel should become a home for all Jews, especially for those who had been persecuted by the Fascists.
Against this backdrop, is it imaginable that Jewish organisations did not only make most lucrative deals with the murderers of their own people, but also helped them actively and passively? Can it be imagined, that they betrayed members of the Jewish resistance to the Gestapo? Is it possible, that the Jewish newspapers welcomed not only Hitler’s seizure of power but also the Nuremberg Laws?
Lenni Brenner did some intensive research and came up with some deeply disturbing answers to these questions.

die Rolle, die Walters bei der Vorbereitung jeder Konterrevolution spielte
Das Buch ist eine Gemeinschaftsarbeit.
Ernst Langrock, von Hause aus Naturwissenschaftler, wurde auf die Rolle nicht
nur des US-amerikanischen Geheimdienstes, sondern speziell Vernon Walters
durch das Buch "Das RAF-Symptom" von Wisnewski, Landgraeber und
Sieker aufmerksam, die die Rolle der RAF bei der Ermordung von Herrhausen
und Rohwedder in Frage stellten Als Mitglied der Redaktionskommission der
Reihe "Spurensicherung" lernte Langrock Klaus Eichner kennen, der
seit 1974 in der HVA des MfS tätig gewesen und seit 1987 bis zu dessen
Auflösung Leiter des Bereichs Auswertung/Analyse der Abt IX (Gegenspionage)
war. Langrock gelang es, Eichner der ja aus der Zeit vor 1990 genügend
Material kannte, für das Thema Vernon Walters zu interessieren. So entstand
dieses Buch.
Ziel war es herauszustellen, "was für ein US-amerikanischer Experte
der Destruktion und Infiltration die Fäden an einem der schicksalsträchtigsten
Vorgänge von Bonn aus zog" (S. 14 f.) Denn Vernon Walters war vom
Präsidenten der USA mit den Worten "Dort wird es um das Ganze gehen",
gebeten worden, ab April 1989 als Botschafter der USA in Bonn zur Verfugung
zu stehen. Dieser Präsident aber war George W. Bush, der frühere
CIA-Direktor.
Und Vernon Walters war von 1972-76 stellvertretender Direktor eben dieses
US-amerikanischen Geheimdienstes, inzwischen eigentlich bereits im Ruhestand.
Aber Anfang 1989 definierte er die ihm zugedachte Rolle selbst zutreffend:
„Ich werde nicht geschickt, wenn ein Erfolg wahrscheinlich ist. Eine
meiner Hauptaufgaben ist es, die Letzte Ölung zu geben, kurz bevor der
Patient stirbt." (S.19)

Die Nachkriegsgeschichte
Berlins unter alliierter Besetzung ist bis heute Gegenstand zahlreicher Fachpublikationen.
Zu diesem Thema hat nun ein Intimkenner einen weiteren Beitrag geliefert:
Joachim Mitdank, Mitarbeiter des DDR-Außenministeriums seit Ende der
fünfziger Jahre, von 1968 an ein Jahrzehnt Leiter der Abteilung Westberlin,
danach Botschafter in Finnland, dann in Großbritannien und Irland. In
seinen Lebenserinnerungen beschreibt der Autor überzeugend seine persönliche
Annäherung an das Berlin-Thema, beginnend mit dem Studium an der Arbeiter-und-Bauern-Fakultät
1950.... on top
Who told a Berlin audience in March 1912 that "each country can absorb only
a limited number of Jews, if she doesn't want disorders in her stomach.
Germany already has too many Jews"?
No, not Adolf Hitler but Chaim Weizmann, later president of the World Zionist Organization and later still the first president of the state of Israel.
And where might you find the following assertion, originally composed in 1917 but republished as late as 1936: "The Jew is a caricature of a normal, natural human being, both physically and spiritually. As an individual in society he revolts and throws off the harness of social obligation, knows no order nor discipline"?
Not in Der Stürmer but in the organ of the Zionist youth organization,
Hashomer Hatzair.
As the above quoted statement reveals, Zionism itself encouraged and exploited self-hatred in the Diaspora. It started from the assumption that anti-Semitism was inevitable and even in a sense justified so long as Jews were outside the land of Israel.
It is true that only an extreme lunatic fringe of Zionism went so far as to offer to join the war on Germany's side in 1941, in the hope of establishing "the historical Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, and bound by a treaty with the German Reich." Unfortunately this was the group which the present Prime Minister of Israel chose to join.
That fact gives an extra edge of topicality to what would in any case be a highly controversial study of the Zionist record in the heyday of European fascism by Lenni Brenner, an American Trotskyist writer who happens also to be Jewish. It is short (250 pages), crisp and carefully documented. Mr Brenner is able to cite numerous cases where Zionists collaborated with anti-Semitic regimes, including Hitler's; he is careful also to put on record the opposition to such policies within the Zionist movement.
In retrospect these activities have been defended as a distasteful but necessary expedient to save Jewish lives. But Brenner shows that most of the time this aim was secondary. The Zionist leaders wanted to help young, skilled and able-bodied Jews to emigrate to Palestine. They were never in the forefront of the struggle against fascism in Europe.
That in no way absolves the wartime Allies for their callous refusal to make any serious effort to save European Jewry. As Brenner says, "Britain must be condemned for abandoning the Jews of Europe"; but, "it is not for the Zionists to do it." Edward Mortimer, The Times (London)

Office of the Secretary General, United Nations, in 2006.]
