As A Jew
7 min read
These diverse historical figures are all dead. Sadly, antisemitism did not die with them.
Some of history’s most accomplished men and women revealed their repugnant antisemitic nature.
Will that knowledge about their character change how you think of them? Should we excuse them because antisemitic sentiment was so prevalent in their time? Will you still be able to admire and appreciate their creations when you’re aware of this poisonous part of their souls?
Coco Chanel has long been admired as a fashion and feminist icon. For her reputation as an antisemite—less so. Despite having used Jewish investors to fund her fashion empire before World War II, she had a notorious affair with a Nazi officer. At one point, she fled to Switzerland to avoid criminal charges for her collaboration as a Nazi spy.
Chanel was “often given to antisemitic outbursts” about the "greedy" and "aggressive" nature of Jewish people. The French editor-in-chief of Marie Claire observed after a conversation with Chanel, “Chanel’s antisemitism was not only verbal; but passionate and often embarrassing.” But she did popularize the Chanel tweed suit and the little black dress, so there’s that.
No, not the Black leader Martin Luther King who shares part of his name but thankfully not his prejudices. This is the Martin Luther, the Father of the Protestant Reformation. In terms of his antisemitism, let’s just say that subtlety and humanity weren’t Luther’s strong points. In his 1543 treatise, "On the Jews and Their Lies," Luther called for synagogues to be burned, Jewish homes to be destroyed, and Jewish people to be expelled from their communities.
There is something uncannily adaptive about antisemitism: the way it can hide, unsuspected, in the most progressive minds. Author James Lasdun
So, while he gets points for establishing the Lutheran Church, we’ll have to deduct points for his referring to Jews as "venomous beasts" and "rejected and condemned by God." Apparently, as Luther saw it, spreading love and peace is not all-encompassing.
Ezra Pound was a distinguished poet and writer, but pound for pound, he was also a malignant antisemite. He believed Jews to be responsible for a multitude of the world’s problems and embraced stereotypical conspiracy theories about Jewish control of the media and banking industries.
Pound was an ardent supporter of Hitler and Mussolini, going so far as to give radio broadcasts for the Italian Fascist government during World War II. He described the U.S. president as “Franklin D. Frankfurter Jewsfeld,” and the Chinese leader as “Chiang Kike Chek.”
He had an impressive “ear” for words, a faultless sense of cadence, and appealed through the sheer beauty of language “to people who would rather talk about poets than read them.” And yet this was the same man who said things like, “The Jew alone can retain his detestable qualities, despite climatic conditions.”
T.S. Eliot was a poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary critic, editor – and antisemite. One of the most acclaimed poets of the 20th century, T.S. Eliot, actually incorporated his antisemitism into his poetry. In his poem "Burbank with a Baedeker: Bleistein with a Cigar," Eliot wrote, "The rats are underneath the piles, the Jew is underneath the lot. Money and furs."
In his private letters, Elliot referred to Jews as "unpleasant people" and "a race that has no sense of proportion." As Joseph Black observes, “Few published works displayed the consistency of association that one finds in Eliot’s early poetry between what is Jewish and what is squalid and distasteful.” And during a 1934 lecture in Virginia, Eliot stressed the importance of social “unity of religious background…. Reasons of race and religion combine to make any large number of free-thinking Jews undesirable.” Apparently, we can rule out “Torah study” for what the T.S. in his name stood for.
Charles Lindbergh was one of the greatest American heroes. He was an aviator who made the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. He was also a Nazi sympathizer and unapologetic antisemite. In a speech in 1941, Lindbergh claimed that Jewish people were trying to drag the United States into World War II for their own benefit. He even gave speeches in which he warned of a Jewish "stranglehold" on America and praised Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews.
As late as April 1939—after Germany overtook Czechoslovakia—Lindbergh was willing to make excuses for Adolf Hitler. In a 1941 speech, Lindbergh said of the Jews, “Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government." Perhaps the thin air and lack of oxygen while doing all that flying, affected his brain and reason. But you didn’t hear it from me.
Wilhelm Richard Wagner was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas. Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. He also openly articulated his antisemitic views in a number of publications. Wagner wrote that the German people were repelled by Jews due to their 'alien' appearance and behavior. The favorite composer of Adolf Hitler, Wagner often found a scapegoat—such as the Jewish population—to account for his personal and musical misfortunes.
Victims of Hitler have associated Wagner and his music with Nazism to such an extent that in Israel a ban on public performance of that music is upheld to this day. Perhaps karma kicked in, however, as payback for his views: Until his final years, Wagner's life was characterized by political exile, turbulent love affairs, poverty, and repeated flight from his creditors. What a life he might have had if there were no Jews!
Charles Dickens was an English writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read today. His works, however clearly have their antisemitic aspects.
For example, along with Shakespeare’s Shylock, Dickens’s Fagin is probably the best-known Jewish character in English literature — and perhaps also the most repellent. He is described in Oliver Twist as “a very old shriveled Jew whose villainous-looking and repulsive face was obscured by a quantity of matted old hair.” In the book, in case you didn’t get the message of the character, Dickens refers to the odious, criminal Fagin as “the Jew” more than 250 times in its first 38 chapters.
In other works, Dickens describes the dirty ways, thieving tendencies, and lisping accents of Jews, along with Jewish “mammas” who are obese and averse to using soap and water. Dickens even refers to a situation in which he wanted to borrow money and was offered a loan at an outrageous interest rate of 120 percent by a Jew of “decidedly Israelite caste of countenance.” To paraphrase Dickens’ opening of A Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the most prejudiced of times.”
Much beloved author Roald Dahl is celebrated for his whimsical children’s books, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda. He is understandably less known for his darker side, illustrated by a number of antisemitic comments he’s on record for making throughout his life. He referred, for example, to Jews as, “a filthy, dirty, noxious, and repellent race” and “the hardest people to teach a lesson to.”
Dahl said, “There’s a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews.” Sounds like a guy who might go so far as defending Hitler? You betcha. Said Dahl, “I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.” Well, firstly, I believe that what Hitler did went lightyears beyond “picking on them.” And secondly, apparently, the Holocaust was our own fault.
These diverse historical figures are all dead. Sadly, antisemitism did not die with them.
are there any other top ten lists? this is a pretty good compiling of remarkable talents but there’s surely more prominent noticers nowadays?
Wasn't Dahl introduced to his future wife by someone who was Jewish?
Ford, the founder of the FORD motor company was a Hitler sympathizer. Not everybody knows it. His grandchildren did not support his views. The donated toward the building of a ford company in Nazareth that is employing both Jews and Arabs.
Henry Ford was a traitor having motor vehicle plants in Germany during WWII.
Ford was a hero to the common man. He built a car that the common man could afford for only $500.
I am glad that the Chanel company is very remorseful for the truth of their founder, as they have made major donations to Israel - they wanted to be on the right side of history and try to do what they can
Any decent person who covets a Chanel bag should think twice.
wonderful article. Little did i know. Time to set history straight.
Thanks
This is a bit oversimplifying history.
Charles Dickens for example discussed Fagin in a Jewish Chronicle interview. His Jewish fans demostrated to him that his repeated derogatory comments on his Jewish characters amount to antisemitism and he revised his writing, creating positive Jewish characters too.
When discussing his antisemitism, these elements have to be considered to understand the complexity of the problem.
I read Oliver Twist every few years because the writing is of high quality, but Dickerson clearly was participating in antisemitism. So, there really is no complexity of a problem.
Gerhard Falk wrote a book titled The Jew in Christian Theology in which he translated Martin Luther's vile writings from old German to English. Falk escaped from Nazi Germany as an adolescent and is bilingual. It's worth reading. Falk, at one hundred, continues to write and speak about antisemitism. He certainly has first hand experience.
Dickens was basically inexperienced with snd ignorant about Jews. Subsequent to the first edition publication of Oliver Twist he learned more and thus deleted his vitriol. And he continued delitions in further editions.
Another prominent writer worthy of mention is Gertrude Stein, who was a big supporter of Marshal Petain and translated his speeches into English! Only her US Passport prevented Petain's goons from turning her over to the Nazis.
We should promote Rebecca, in Sir Walter Scott’s *Ivanhoe*. Probably the third most famous Jewish character in English language literature; she is the heroine of the novel.
Rebecca of York was played by the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor. I could watch it a few more times...
Jewish people are the chosen people of our Heavenly Father, and from my point of view, they still are. I think this creates envy in alot of people. GET OVER IT!
I wish you would explain yourself, but clearly you're not Jewish...
Thank you. Jews should be treated well because they are human beings like most others and contribute well above their percentage in the population.
Not exactly correct. G-D presented the 10 Commandments to others before the people of Israel. All refused them.
When he presented then to the Jewish people they accepted them. So we chose the 10 Commandments and thus are called the Chosen People. Maybe it should have been The People Who Chose.
Most or all of these people are gone. What stands out about this situation is academic freedom. Academic freedom has been weaponized in schools, colleges, etc. to the extent that you can say whatever you want about Jews, Zionists, etc. and it is called academic freedom. Free speech is fine but noone anywhere should pay these people for saying whatever they please, whereever they please without repercushions.
Academic freedom was never intended to protect fact free nonsense and bigotry. People who spout anti-Semitism from their academic positions need to be canceled, as do people who spout conspiracy theories denying the efficacy of vaccines or the danger of COVID. Unfortunately you find these in the same institutions as the anti-Semites. And too many Jews rail against "Cancel Culture" in academia not realizing that it is our JOB as academics to weed out the nutjobs who day the world is flat, that cigarette smoking isn't dangerous, that the Holocaust didn't happen, and and more hot button topics of today that are equally based entirely in fiction.
The cancel culture, are the same ones that side with Israeli's enemies and blame the Jews, for all Middle East problems.
They are the same ones that falsely claim to have absolute irrefutable proof that G-d (supposedly) "doesn't exist", and that teaching Torah, to one's children, is "child abuse".
They fully support canceling Jews, just for being Jews, in favor or pro Jihadist protesters, and are the same antisemites that wore PLO flag pins, at the Academy Awards.
They are also the same violent nut jobs that sent death threats to J.K. Rowling for saying that women in women's bathroom's should be safe from men pretending to be women who pose a potential threat to actual women.
They hate morality, decency, and want Western countries to be flooded with civilization destroying drug gangs.
Jewish people are chosen for a reason! It would be great when Jewish people start acting like it, but that's why we are here...
Stop money from Qatar and Soros and the Rockefeller foundation to determine what will be taught and by who.
Soros is 95 years old
Soros has long been a figure that antisemites use as an example of someone to hate. Actually he is only half Jewish. Only his mother was Jewish. I relate to him because I also have Jewish and non Jewish ancestors. His non Jewish father was able to save his wife and son from being exterminated in the Holocust, at great risk to all of them. Coming from a "mixed" family he was taught to respect all ethnicities, cultures and religions.
I was not aware of Charles Dickens true feelings about the Jewish People, thank you for posting.
Yeah, the character Fagin was truly flagrant to the senses, perfectly bathe in antisemitism.
Who's going to tell my kids' 4th grade teacher about Roald Dahl?
Hopefully you are.
Wagner has been performed in Israel for yrs. Jewish conductors like Bernstein and Levine conducted Wagner many times, and brilliantly.
Wagner was a vile person even if you discount his anti-Semitism!
This raises the issue of the art verses the person who created the art. A lot of great artists were vile human beings using today's standards but they still created great art. Same goes for our founding fathers, the most famous being Thomas Jefferson who not only had slaves but had six children with one of his "slaves", known as Sally Hemmings. As far as I know he died a slaveowner and never tried to reconcile his lofty principals that "all men are created equal and endowed by their creater . ". Were people of African descent not "men" not "human"????? He also was NOT a fan of the rights of women to be treated equal in society even though he had daughters of his own (BOTH with his wife and his mistress Sally). He did only get together with Sally AFTER HIS WIFE DIED. He didn't remarry
A movie was made called "Jefferson in Paris" staring Nick Nolte as Jefferson. IT was an art film and did not do very well or maybe people just did not want to accept Jefferson as a slave owner. As was displayed in the film, Jefferson brought "Sally" with him to Paris. It appears that he did treat Sally well (for a slave) and while it might have been possible for her to escape while in Paris she choose not to. Again according to the movie she felt life as a slave would be better than being a "begger" or WORSE in France.
This shows that you can be a genius but still be despicable
Many vices by artists. Anti Semitism one. Just plain miserable to people is often the case.
I knew about each and every one of these Nazis.
You get a Dwarf hat.
Perhaps the antisemite most relevant to antisemitism today was the Jew Karl Marx who used the word "Jew" pejoratively in his earlier works in place of "capitalist." His ideological heirs, who use the simplistic reductionism of power politics and, like Marx, also believe that the end justifies the means, are running the universities, poisoning a whole new generation of young minds.
I have been in academia for three decades and while I have encountered plenty of people with nutty politics, I have yet to meet an actual Marxist. Marx is out of fashion. And that is a good thing.
Not at all. Marxism is "coming out of the closet". "With a vengeance". It is at the core of the "Woke" movement. Already, terrible damage has been done to this country.
I knew most but not Dahl. Therefore thankful that he didn't call the eccentric, sometimes mean spirited candy magnate something like Willie Weinstein.BTW - Wagner's anti-semitism is why many Jewish brides do NOT walk down the aisle to one of his more well known tunes, 'Here comes the Bride'.
God bless then one and all...
You have just proved that nazis atill exist.
We don't say Nazi, we say National Socialist. These quotes are barely scratching the surface. Take note that everyone who said something were Masters at what they did and highly intelligent
In our home, we would never buy a Ford because of Henry Ford's antisemitic leanings. I am a little surprised he isn't mentioned here.
wow, you sure are sticking it to a dead man who doesn't care or know who buys ford cars.
They're all dead. Even antisemites die. Btw, would you buy a car from someone who wanted you dead, your family dead, and your co-religionists dead?
Ford's grandkids did not follow in their grandfather's ways.
He later apologized to the Jewish people.
He was a traitor during WWII. He should have been charged with having factories in Germany during the war. I doubt he was making any cars.
Because Martin Luther was so influential in the Protestant Reformation, there has been reluctance to address his antisemitism. But in reading his book, On the Jews and Their Lies, one immediately notices the similarity to pogroms directed against the Jews by the Nazis. This is particularly enlightening when one realizes that in 1940, 54% of the population of Germany was Christian and Lutheranism was the predominant denomination since it was founded there by Luther, who was German. Could this account for the widespread acceptance of Hitler's Final Solution among Germans in the 1930s and '40s?
Luther and Nazism have been frequently linked by historians.
You forgot Henry Ford who included antisemitic material in each car he sold.
Henry Ford did not include antisemitic material in each car he sold. However, he did use his newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, to spread antisemitic views and conspiracy theories
Many years ago we bought cars at a faster pace. We walked around showrooms and made choices. One day we walked in a dealership that sold Fords and Volkswagens. Time on our hands I guess. I really did not want to buy either car because of what was I knew about the antisemitism connection. As I walked around I saw a name on a salesman's desk. His name was Daniel Bar Or. I went over to him and he addressed me in what seemed to be a German accent. My question to him. "What is the world would someone who has your name sell cars associated with hate and antisemitism. He stood up and said, " BECAUSE I CAN!!!!" He did not elaborate, he did not need to. And I bought a Volkswagen, because " I CAN."
leonard, you are sadly incorrect. In the early days of the Ford corporation, a copy of The Tractates of the Elders of Zion was indeed included with each motor vehicle sold .
How did he do that
How positively disgusting. The so-called Christians who didn't know that the Jews were and are THE CHOSEN; according to my Christian religion. Even the Jews know the "promised Messiah" is to come through their lineage.
"Even" the Jews? A messiah is a specifically Jewish concept and hope for Jewish security and world peace.
There are messianic concepts in Christianity and in some Islamic traditions.
The chosen big canopies and rat silouetes. Hilarious. With a lot of genetic degenerative issues such a high tendence for schizophrenia. Lol
That's when they were African
There was a time when every Jewish kid knew that Lindbergh (and his 'Wave of the Future'--Hitler endearing wife--Anne-Morrow), in addition to Coco Channel, Luther, Dickens, as well as so many other well known (and lesser known) public and historic figures were all vitriolic anti-Semitic bastards. So what happened? I believe that we chose to ignore our own history; and rather than teach our children about the predominantly anti-Semitic world, we hypnotized them and self hypnotized ourselves into believing that the mere recitation of the words, "Never Again," would be an adequate prophylaxis against Jew hate. October 7th instantly changed this view and brought us back to reality. Hopefully, this generation and the ones following it will not forget the lessons we've just learned!
Sometimes I am fiercely ashamed to call myself a Christian. Nonetheless, I personally am a member of a branch of Christians who hold the Jews in highest esteem. And I have been blessed for 50 years with being married to one of their most righteous daughters. In her defense for marrying a Christian; her marriage under the the chuppah did not go well.
We know how social justice is masked as Judaism. Do good stuff. You're Jewish.
FDR thought Lindbergh was an actual Nazi and said so. He prevented Lindbergh from playing any significant role in World War 2.
Meanwhile the Jews continued to love FDR who refused to bomb the tracks to Auschwitz which would have given the Allies enough time to win the war and save Hungarian Jewry. He also notoriously sneaked out a back door to the White House as a group of American rabbis tried to reach him to discuss what was happening to European Jews. So FDR saw through Lindbergh. Big deal.
Auschwitz was in Poland not HUNGERY. Therefore Polish Jews would have been saved NOT Hungarian Jews. I have Polish Jewish ancestors. Also Roosevelt was a politician first and foremost. Over the objection of the American people, Roosevelt gave aid to the British, before the US entered the war. Roosevelt wanted to go to war (to save the British not the Jews but it would have been great) but he was stopped by others from actually declaring war until Pearl Harbor.
Sorry, but each one of these people were well known anti-semites. Your article presents no new information.
@EPA18 While it may not be new information to you, it is new to others!
Yes, I am actually shocked at my own naiveté. I'm saddened but grateful to be better informed.
Most if not all of the people in this article were envious of Jews and used anti-Semitism as a defense mechanism to compensate for their sense of inferiority. For example, Richard Wagner thought that Felix Mendelsohn, born a Jew, was the greatest living composer of his time. Wagner copied Mendelsohn's orchestral style. Wagner sent a score of one of his compositions to Mendelsohn. Unfortunately, Mendelsohn never did respond, which Wagner took great offense to. Now, Wagner did write some nasty things about Jews, largely stemming from Mendelsohn's rejection of him, but that didn't change the fact that Wagner thought very highly of the Jews. When he wanted the best possible performances of his operas, for example, his preferred conductor was Hermann Levi, a practicing Jew.
If he made just one person be/act hateful toward the Jews it is hard for me to find he did anything positive!
I find this article extremely informative, shocking and very disturbing. As a Jew I don't understand all the hatred and jealousy. Very sad, very disturbing!
The main problem is this. Ever since the crucifixion of Jesus. Jews have been called "The Jesus Killers" Therefore people of a Christian persuasion have hated both the Jews and the Jewish culture.. Conveniently forgetting that at least in the Bible Jews are "The Chosen". . I believe that any man or nation that turns against, "God's Chosen" will suffer the wrath of Gof
Such a short list when there are thousands to choose from?
Worse yet.
There is only so many column inches available for this article. The lost of these reprehensible people could fill an encyclopedia sized book.
Thank you for the article. The irrational hatred among our supposed betters is mind boggling.
I didn't know about Dahl. My youngest daughter loved his books. I feel sick.
There is also Peter Stuyvesant who wanted to kick the Jews out of New York until he was convinced by the Town Fathers that they were a valuable economic asset. A deal was struck wheerin the Jews could stay as long as they kept out of sight when they prayed.
Peter Stuyvesant was told by the founders of the Colony to lay off the Jews for a d*mn good reason:

When the medium of exchange vocalizes, the intact male bovine excrement begins locomotion.
Dickens is the one person in this article who abandoned anti Semitism in his lifetime.
I think almost everybody knows Wagner was anti Semitic
You are correct. Charles Dickens expressed the British antisemitism of that time ( and even today). He was startled when he had business dealings at which there was a Jewish lawyer and that the lawyer was not representative of the traits that Dickens had taken for granted to be "typical" Jewish traits of underhanded business dealings, duplicity, etc. Dickens got to know this lawyer and his wife and was moved and abashed when he was told of the bad feelings in the Jewish community engendered by his writings, especially the figure of Fagin in Oliver Twist. To make up for this Dickens wrote a heroic Jewish figure in his next book Our Mutual Friend.
True, but Oliver Twist is a famous, much-read book while Our Mutual Friend is read by very few. Many avid readers haven't even heard of the latter.
Thank you.
That's why he was Hitlers favorite composer.
No, Wagner wasn't an anti-Semite the way, say, Ezra Pound was. Wagner thought that Felix Mendelsohn (born a Jew) was the greatest composer of his time and he even copied his orchestral style. And Wagner's go-to conductor for his operas was Hermann Levi (a practicing Jew). And Hitler's favorite opera wasn't written by Wagner. Hitler's favorite opera was The Merry Widow, composed by Franz Lehár with the libretto by Viktor Léon and Leo Stein--all Jews.
The Wagner Levi relationship was the subject of an absolutely brilliant play a few years ago:
https://www.wagneropera.net/articles/articles-newyork-2018-my-parsifal-conductor-bravo-casas.htm
The playwright, Allan Leicht, is an Orthodox Jew who lives in my neighborhood and learns Daf Yomi. The play deserves to be performed more. Perhaps someone reading this can arrange for another performance!
When did he do that, and how do you know?
Very odd that he knows all of this little trivia about h*tl*r.
I have read that Dickens regretted that his novel encouraged anti-Semitism and tried to explain that he was merely showing the spirit of the times. Supposedly he tried rectify the ill feelings his book had added to. I don't know if this is true.
It is.

How come no one asks why people were antisemitic
Are, not were. Jealousy.
100%
#JewEnvy
Yes, but more properly, envy.
Were and are anti-Semetic, to be exact! Definitely, jealousy is a cause, and what further contributed to that jealousy is the writing of The Tenach, wherein it states Jews are Hashem's chosen people, which is greatly misunderstood. The Jews chose Hashem, and inturn became Hashem's chosen people, not to mean Jews are better than other people, it meant that Jews were to be a light unto the nations.
Thus is the attitude that makes people dislike jews
Right, Hedda Louella, Christians would NEVER say that their religion is the best and that it is only they who are, in fact, God's chosen. And you'll never find a Muslim to tell you that only THEIR religion is the perfect word of God and that it's their duty to relay that to the world--by force if necessary. Too bad you're not famous, Hedda Louella, or we could add you to the list.
Nonsense. Islam is claimed to be based upon God's final words and that it supercedes all previous words.
I wish we could teach this to the world. Maybe they would hate us less!
Refusal to admit that a stereotype is actually has a reasonable validity.
An admission of one's faults is not a common trait.
We know where you're going with this. Student for Justice in Palestine will be glad to hlp you.
It's obvious. They look on Jews as Christ killers.
Lots of people ask why people were/are antisemitic. I myself ask why people are anti-semitic, and I ain't nobody. In fact, I ask anti-semites why they are anti-semitic and after a little probing, I discover that they don't know themselves.
Jews were called "Jesus Killers^ The only reason that the Stark Raving Mad Christians needed
I knew some of these, but seeing the quotes was a valuable reminder, as was the overriding message...that antisemitism didn't die with them.
All of the normalization of race hate which was embedded in public life, cultural events and literature in so many ways, still has influence...so no...it's not old news...plenty of people know these names without knowing how they used their platforms or personal influence hatefully, and forgetting the lessons of history is what would leave us wide open to repeating it.
I'm surprised that you missed Henry Ford & Agatha Christy!!!
Not just them. Dorothy Sayers filled her mysteries with antisemitic references.
I would like to know more about Christy's antisemitism.
don't forget walt disney
Some edits to suggest: Coco Chanel in her later years, after her star had faded completely, was effectively "rescued" by Stanley Marcus of Neimann-Marcus fame (and whom I used to know personally--a truly lovely and humble man). He knew of her anti-Semitism but extended the hand of friendship and support, reviving her career. This caused her to reevaluate her feelings toward Jews. Charles Dickens was a man of his times and was deeply embarrassed by the accusations of anti-Semitism and spent the rest of his career trying to make amends. Lindbergh, too, had a change of heart after he saw what H*tler wrought and the horrors of the Shoah. The rest you cited were absolutely vile human beings, and you left out Henry Ford who, in many ways, outdid his early 20th C. contemporaries in nastiness.
coco calliborated with the nazis (Goerring) to squeezed out her jewish partners and 'steal' the business from them. The nazis knew how to use money to make 'friends' calliborators, and traitors.
From what I read, when Lindbergh saw the death camps, his attitude was 'they brought it on themselves.'
Interesting but really it's old news. The antisemitism of these people has long been known and not just inscholarly or Jewish circles. But thanks for the reminder.
Perhaps we need to focus on the antisemites alive and well among us. THE SQUAD for one example.The entire middle east which has sought to destroy Israel since her inception.
Well said!
What a broad biased brush you use
Your "broad biased brush" was used to paint swasticas.
Let's talk about Jared Kushner then who does business dealing with the Saudis. The Saudis know everthing, including 9/21. Isreal Prime Minister did not have intelligence of the Hamas attack ahead of time? The majority of the Jewish people do not support Israel systematically taking away lands from Palestinians along the Gaza Strip.
This article forgot to mention Frank Trump who belonged to the German American Bund and supported Hitler. He never severed in WWII because he was a Nazi sympathizer.
Trump hates Jews and was taught to use them.
Let's not forget The Squad.
.you are the bigot
Guess
he hates his daughter and grandchildren.
Israel left Gaza for good in 2005.
Israel leaving Gaza( Kush Katif) in 2005 was beyond a mistake, the residents of Kush Katif said" if you kick us out you won't have peace but terrorism", and they were absolutely right 100%, the former residents of Kush Katif saw danger coming when they were forcibly kicked out, and what the former residents of Kush Katif predicted ended up coming true unfortunately and sadly on October 7, 2023, and the only one that was right was Kahane( obm) and his( obm) book " They Must Go" before they massacre Jews like they did on October 7, 2023, he( obm) was not controversial but knew the warped and twisted minds of our enemy which are know better than Nazi( may their name be erased) when spoke German and these enemies speak Arabic, they both have the same goal a " Judenrein" world
You have zero empiracle independently verifiable unbiased irrefutable proof objective proof that Netenyahu knew about October 7, ahead of time.
The Jews are the real and original Palestinians.
Jews have been living nonstop and continuously in their ancestral land for over 3000 years.
When that land was first called "Palestine" Only Jews were living there, at that time.
Before 1850, not even one Jihadist wanted to be called by such a Jewish name.
Not till they realized the propaganda value of stealing that name from the Jews, aling with all the land they had spent hundreds of years, stealing from the Jews.
No one calls a non Jewish land by a Jewish name like Judea.
Donald Trump, is the president, who actually moved the US embassy in Israel, to it's rightful place in Jerusalem
I agree with all your statements 109%
Perhaps this is new information for younger people who hadn’t known before.
