When the Japanese bombed the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hitler honoured his alliance with Japan and declared war on the United States.
Seeking to defend their unprovoked attack on Iraq in 2003 Tony Blair and George W Bush declared that in 1939 and 1941 Britain and The United States went to war with Germany to protect Europe’s Jews.
The two statesmen, in this instance, displayed less honour than Hitler. Besides there were no parallels between Iraq in 2003 and Germany in1939 or 1941.
Those who have read my BLOG “The Sinn Fein Rabbi” (Sept 26 2016) will have seen the story that when Palestine’s Chief Rabbi called on President Franklin Roosevelt to plead for help for Europe’s Jews his hair turned white between the start and the end of the meeting. Apparently FDR gave him very cold comfort. I was quoted a Wikipedia report for what it was worth. The date of the meeting was not established.
Anyhow the story put about by Blair and George W Bush is pure hogwash.
The United States Senate vetoed US membership of the League of Nations, whose big players were Britain, France, Japan and Italy..
All members of the League signed a solemn Covenant to combine together to defend each other from aggression .When Italy under Mussolini attacked Abyssinia, Winston Churchill, then out of office, heaped him with praise, as he had been doing for some years. Those in office in the UK facilitated the aggressors, and the Suez Canal Company, a prime British concern, profited from the tolls paid by the aggressors on the way to do their very dirty work.
Britain and France repeatedly ratted on their obligations to the League as did most of its members.
When Abyssinia’s Emperor, Haile Selassie addressed the League in Geneva, demanding that its members honoured their obligations. So far as I know only one of the delegates supported him and offered his own country’s armed forces to be part of an international defence of the attacked nation.
His name?
Eamon de Valera.
Has any academic or media commentator in “THE FREE WORLD” the guts to copy this?
Would Fintan O’Toole, Eoghan Harris, Fergal Keane, Roy Foster or any of the Monstrous Regiment of “Revisionists” dispute it?
