61. THEY DIDN"T SAVE JEWS!
(12.28.11)
Only the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee actively saved Jews. The USA DID NOTHING! Remember the USA did KNEW about the camps and did nothing. Remeber there were quotas to enter the USA and the USA left them in place Remember the ship the MS St. Louis. The Jews on that ship saw the lights of Miami were denied entry and went back to Germany to die!
62. Americans never did anything to stop the Holocaust in WWII
Alex   (12.28.11)
Roosevelt is on record as not using the genocide of Jews as an excuse for war. The allies knew about the Holocaust, but refused to bomb the rail tracks to the death camps. I guess times have changed and now the Americans need the Jews, if only for their vote - expediency rules the day in American politics.
63. The semi-fascist hypocrites NEVER entered war to save jews!!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.28.11)
64. #13 cameron
solomon ,   bklyn   (12.28.11)
Just for the record, I would like to point out that of the 16 posts that I now see, only one is from Israel, and that one #9, is both USA and Israel.
65. Nina, Americans did't save Jews in WW2, either
AK   (12.28.11)
US didn't enter the war becase they chose to. First Japan attacked the US then the German's declared the war against the US. There is still doubt if the US would enter the war in Europe, if Germany didn't act first. In any event, the party the US was protecting was UK, not the Jews.

" when did the jews ever do anything for americans?" I suggest you pick up a history book and learn about the very rich contributions that Jews have made to this country. For their numbers they have contributed far more than any other group...educate yourself before making stupid comments.
67. One thing Paul and FDR agreed on
Gabe F.   (12.28.11)
68. My dear americans...learn & Understand the logic.
Albert John ,   USA TX   (12.28.11)
After WW2 most intellects Jews flown to USA and USSR and so it became the world powerful country. NASA has most Jewish scientist how was it created !! Hey how about Hollywood...USA is forgetting what Jews contributed to our nation and they were not fools to liberate Jews from Germany. After WW2 those chosen Jews with grace of g*d flourished USA with fame and prosperity. "thy will be blessed if you help Israelite
69. wrong reason # 7
MARK ,   boro park   (12.28.11)
Hey Bob-you're wrong, ridiculously wrong. Jews don't vote for Republicans because Jews are liberal unlike the founding fathers and 70% of whites. If Hitler was a democrat he would get 75% of the Jewish vote. yeah Romney doesn't want jews in his country club. prove it. and that really matters? So that's why you guys voted for Obama because he loves Jews? And you voted for FDR because his country club admitted Jews?
70. # 68...You are from Texas...and that's
(12.28.11)
all anyone needs to know.. You don't know what your talking about...and really should 'shut up' rather then advertize your ignorance..... TATA
71. To put it directly and bluntly,Ron Paul stinks
yossi   (12.28.11)
Presidential material he is not. He would be a disaster for America and the world.This article shows plainly the stupidity of the so-called " major " media in the US -- same today!. To Ezra # 9, a piece of garbage is not accurate, today garbage is being recycled and is of great value to mankind. Ron Paul is below that. And to you James # 14, you should join him , same stench. Last but not least , to # 47: I would simply remove the word " politically " from your comment.
72. Well ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.28.11)
... there goes THAT presidential candidacy ....
73. To: Nibor at No. 59
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.28.11)
Better question is, whatever on earth would the Americans have done with tuberculosis and polio, were it not for the Jews? If they can answer that, we can further explore the issue of heart disease, cancer and other terminal illnesses. But I'd like to hear what America has to say first. I would ESPECIALLY love to know how many "Americans" are willing to pull out their pacemakers (another Jewish invention). Yeah. That's kind of what I thought.
74. That actually makes him no different from
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland, NZ   (12.28.11)
most world leaders. Besides he is an equal opportunity isolationist which at least makes him far less hypocritical than, say, one mr. Obama. I have to admit that I do not know much about Ron Paul, but since media gives him a Sarah Palin treatment, he' s got to be a decent person. Besides do remember that he is the only US government official on the record who voted against condemning Israel for taking out Osirac. That's got to count for something.
75. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.28.11)
In order to prove your credibility, I think it very important that you instruct all of your in-laws that they must never, EVER, agree to have their children innoculated against polio. After all, both vaccines -- Salk and Sabin -- are Jewish science, and we know how you feel about Jews. Hope you can get used to the sound of an iron lung, sweetie pie. You will need to. C'mon . Man up, as we say -- put your hummingbird ass where your alligator mouth is. Reject ALL Jewish contributions to civilization and humanity. Ask the ersatz "Palestinians" to come up with a vaccine against polio, why don't you? Until then -- good luck. You'll really, REALLY need it. While you're at the asking phase, see if you can find out how many Nobel Prizes the ersatz "Palestinians" have won in medicine, physics and chemistry. Boy, are YOU ever in for a let-down!
76. 14
k ,   US   (12.28.11)
it should not be the responsibility but the US was the land of the free then in the early 1900s the racist and anti semites got control of the US and helped pass laws that prevented Jews and other minorities from coming as well as many influential people preaching anti-semitic attitudes and "conspiracies" that you hear today These same people worked hard to prevent Jews from immigrating to the US as well as worked to prevent a war with the Nazis Ultimately they were the cowards who were hoping the Nazis would do the work for them These people have died in the last 70 years but they are being re-born with the Ron Paul camp
77. #68 Hollywood
(12.28.11)
you claim Americans are ( or should be) grateful to the Jews for creating Hollywood. Are you not aware that the Jewish influence in Hollywood is one of the bigger complaints white Americans have about ''the Jews''....i.e. that they have debased American culture with tacky movies and porn?
78. Israel Must Rely on Itself
Rube Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (12.28.11)
Ultimately, all countries operate out of self interest. Ron Paul does us a favor to remind us that it is up to us to stop the "next" Holocaust (from Iran) and relying in the US or anyone else is a dangerous game.
79. It seems Obama.......
Robert ,   Australia   (12.28.11)
...............is now looking good in Jewish eyes compared to the rest of the presidential hopefuls.
80. #31 Ron Paul gets creepier by the day
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.28.11)
Nothing patriotic about him. He's desperate to win and tells the crowd what they want to hear. These comments were probably meant for his White Nationalist and Stormfront supporters. You like him because of his spineless position on Iran and statements about Israel. His loose lips will sink him. Can't wait for the next debate.
81. The allies knew
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (12.28.11)
The Allies - Brits, americans et al., knew just where the concentration camps were but wouldn't spare the bombs or the time to destroy even one of those chambers of horrors. Jewish suffering was never a priority of the west.
82. What don't you understand?
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (12.28.11)
No-one is saying tha tit was or is the responsibility of americans to save Jews. However on dozens of occasions the allies flew over or very close to many of the concentration camps. Dropping a few bombs wouldn't have been out of place.
83. Human life
Rami ,   Canada   (12.28.11)
Are Jewish lives worth more than that of the American soldiers going to fight? IF an American wanted to prevent the holocaust he or she could go to Europe and fight but why force the entire country into war? RON PAUL 2012!
84. for anyone who know history he is just like FDR
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (12.28.11)
85. Looking at it another way
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (12.28.11)
All things being equal, I trust that we can defend ouselves and should not rely on a third party to come to our rescue.. That said, I am in no way easy about Obama releasing forces portentially likely to want our destruction tipping balance of power against us. Ron Paul is a pathetic old politician out for a jolly and is 500:1 against getting to last 2 candidates. Obama has done plenty of damage, and his re-election would give us a hard time. Energy of those who care should work to continually expose Obama for Harm done to us todate,
86. but today
ale ,   italia   (12.28.11)
usa do not stop palestinians Holocaust. just seeing Qualqilya or Hebron or Jerusalahim settlements situation to knows that palestinians are suffering a new holocaust. like in the past, today, usa are blind! if u think that usa entered in WWII for jewish....you are wrong too.
87. #22 Karl from Munich
A ,   Belgium   (12.28.11)
"Ron Paul's right. Jews wouldn't die to save the US either " 550,000 Jews served in the US Armed Forces during World War 2. 11,000... thats right Adolf, read it again... 11,000 DIED while in service. In your own country, 12,000...thats right Adolf, read it again...12,000 Jewish soldiers died defending the "Fatherland" in World War 1. Now what were you saying about Jews?
88. The U.S. entered the war covertly way before the Holocaust
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (12.28.11)
The U.S. were shipping military aid to Britain before the war began.By the time the U.S. entered the war the Holocaust had begun and over 2 million Jews were killed
89. Soul USA
zichron   (12.28.11)
What is the soul of the usa after its destruction of the american indian and the enslavement of blacks under the banner of white christian supremacy .Redemption flows from the tikun olam the world becoming a better place no starvation genocide prevention medical healing shelter and psychological wellbeing. The USA has many volunteers for these tasks from the army to the Peace corps and although the USA has been guilty of immense war crimes paradoxically it is lesser of the greater evils.
90. Jeffrey Shapiro posted a 2009 interview he held with the GOP
split ,   US   (12.28.11)
The same "jurnalist" Jefrey Shapiro that was supposed to have a proof that Silverstein wanted to demolish WTC7 on 9/11 ,...
