HaKatan,
I’m a Zionist and read Perfidy. As you (should) know, the Zionist Ben Hecht wrote it as a hit piece on Israel’s Labor Party immediately before an election, headed by Ben Gurion and which Kastner was a member of. You remind me of Simon Wiesenthal’s cover for Kurt Waldheim because of partisan loyalty, despite Waldheim’s Nazi past. (Read Betrayal by Eli Rosenbaum if you don’t know what I’m talking about.)
Let me ask you, was collaborating with the Zionist Peter Bergson (Hillel Kook) so wrong? If Zionists caused the Holocaust, did Bergson cause the Holocaust?
Do you think Rav Eliezer Silver, Rav Avraham Kalmanowitz, Rav Moshe Feinstein, and hundreds of other Rabbanim did the wrong thing by collaborating with Bergson/Kook?
Bonus question, did the socialist Zionist (Hashomer Hatzair leader) Mordechai Anielewicz cause the Holocaust?
I look forward to your direct reply!
