shocker


Heh !
Good one.

The Jews couldn’t spirit themselves much less their hard assets out of the country . These were ‘supposedly ‘ entrusted to the safe keeping of the Roman Catholic Church until they could later be reclaimed. The Roman Catholic Church was pretty much the soul surviving Chr*stian Church entity to remain somewhat whole in Germany and other occupied countries during those turbulent years.

When the Jews were relocated to camps, etc. and failed to return to collect those entrusted hard assets,,,,,,the present day Israelis want to have a look and an accounting of the records that were kept.


Just so we're clear, getting out and starting over wasn't what they were after.

Going back to claim abandoned property, that changed hands during a literal world war is what drives the Elly Weasel society?

Does that apply to farms, houses, etc. of everyone else affected by the belligerents? I don't think the jews have a monopoly on that.........



Okay.


Not being a prick, I'm serious. I have enough of Abrahams wayward wanderers in my background I'd not have promoted in the Nazi party. wink

I don't do victimhood well. Life is what you can carve from it. Perpetuating the perception of "justice" when all they're after is abandoned property seems to fit a stereotype eh? IMHO

But what do I know, I'm only an American.



American myself.

Some would posit that theft is theft. Victimhood can often accompany things like that. Then there’s living family members of those who had their entrusted possessions stolen from to be considered.


The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.

What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
