I'd like to know the reasons or the sentiment expressed by both government and population at the time.

Does anybody know the facts? It just can't be that everyone was born an anti-semitic or that they consumed too much fake news at the time.

I tend to believe that there was a huge bias against the Jewish Folks because of their prominent role within the financial sector prior to the Stock Market collapse of 1929 and the Great Depression.

So you do not think Trudeau should have to apologize?

Hi! EagleSmack

You asked if I thought that the Trudeau should apologize to the Jewish Folks?

My Reply:

I really don't care if he did or did not. It was almost a century ago. The Palestinian People are enduring a holocaust at this very moment in history. I might feel a bit more sympathy towards the Jewish Folks if they had not committed the exact same crimes that Trudeau is apologizing for.

What really puts me over the edge is that at the same time (1948-1949) when the world was parading pictures of holocaust survivors within the media, the Prime Minister of the newly formed government of Israel was promoting and encouraging a holocaust against the Palestinian's.

These are the words spoken by the very first Prime Minister of Israel ....

“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”
–-David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978--
--Israel Koenig, advisor to the Israeli Knesset, The Koenig Memorandum (Al Hamishmar newspaper, September 7, 1976)--

The holocaust against the Arabs was actually foretold by David Ben-Gurion in 1937 ....

"The compulsory transfer of Arabs from the proposed Jewish State could give us something we never had ... Any doubt on our part about the necessity of the transfer ... may lose us an historic opportunity."
"We will expel the Arabs and take their place."
Letter from David Ben-Gurion to his son Amos
Obtained from the Ben-Gurion Archives in Hebrew, and translated into English
by the Institute of Palestine Studies, Beirut
October 05, 1937

That is almost exactly the kind of statements which Hitler screamed when speaking about the Jewish Folks!

And worse ..... Ben-Gurion said this at the same time that our media was parading holocaust victims across the universe and showing Jewish Folks crying and screaming “Never Again”.

In 1948, with Hitler dead less then 3 years, .... At the very heart of the newly formed country of Israel, .... at the highest levels of government, .... within the Israeli cabinet, the Jewish folks were actually talking about committing a holocaust against the Arabs and which is the exact same crimes as Hitler was being chastised for.

Following the Hitler Trip and the horrible experiences of the Jews, many left Europe and invested heavily into media and Hollywood.

It was some of these people who "Fabricated" American history on film. Some of the same people who had just experienced and fled from the discrimination, stereotyping and racism by Hitler, only to commit the identical crime in America .... and making films about black and native indians in North America.

Hollywood committed huge harm to Aboriginals and Blacks.

They were said to be inhuman and a bunch of savages.

Blacks as a criminal element and Aboriginals as untrustworthy with forked-tongues.

Meh, I'm OK with apologies. Don't hurt nothing, and if it makes some people feel better, why not?

Besides, ain't "Sore-ree" the official motto of Canada?

And it doesn't burden the taxpayer too much except for the time spent apologizing in Parliament that could have been invested elsewhere. Meh.

how is doing your job preventing you from doing your job?

The main job is making and revising legislation.

That said, apologizing is among the less expensive things the government can do with its time, and it makes many feel good. So it might be a wise use of the government's time after all.

Groveling before power is standard policy for Canadian Prime Ministers. That apologizing for alleged actions against those people will soon become unnecessary in the west.
