Talking point

Happened to see a news report from 2018, quoting Jewish organizations, which report stated that “the most antisemitic cities in Europe…” [were/are]…”London and Paris“.

The cities with the most Jews in Europe are…London and Paris!

How strange, or perhaps not.

The Gorton and Denton by-election.

I have blogged my views in previous blog posts over the past month or so. Now the voters are voting, and the result will be known tonight or tomorrow. All three main contenders —Reform, Green, Labour— are neck-and-neck.

[“A few details the jew below ‘accidentally’ left out for obvious reasons:

  • The Struma was actually originally a steam-powered luxury yacht but was old and was being used as a cattle transport on the Danube before being outfitted with a cheap old second-hand diesel engine for the voyage.
  • The jews on board all paid the Betar movement (the Revisionist Zionist Youth Movement) large amounts of money for their tickets to go to Palestine and Betar handled everything else. Originally the Haganah were going to use the Struma for the same thing but from Bulgaria to Palestine.
  • The jews on board were from Romania not the Third Reich plus 60 members of the Betar movement and their leaving Romania had the support and encouragement of the Romanian government.
  • Betar lied to the jewish passengers and claimed they were just going to make a short stop in Turkey to ‘collect their visas for Palestine’.
  • Betar only put two lifeboats on the Struma for 791 crew and passengers.
  • Betar packed the bottom of the ship with bunkbeds so as to cram as many jewish passengers in as possible.
  • The diesel engine immediately failed when the Struma was getting out of the harbour in Romania.
  • The Romanian navy towed the Struma at Betar’s request out to sea and through the Axis minefields to make sure they were okay. Then the Romanians left while Betar tried to repair their diesel motor.
  • Betar failed to repair the Struma’s diesel engine and signalled distress. The Romanian navy returned and Betar demanded the Romanians fix their engine for free; the Romanians refused and requested to be paid for their time and the parts. Betar refused to pay the Romanians so the passengers paid the Romanians with their wedding rings instead; the Romanians then fixed the Stuma’s engine.
  • Two days later the Struma’s engine promptly failed again and she was towed into Istanbul harbour by the Turkish navy on 15th December 1941.
  • It was then revealed that Betar hadn’t arranged any visas to Palestine at all for the passengers or the Betar youth. The British refused them permission to migrate to Palestine as illegal immigrants (per the British White Paper of 1939 on this) and Turkey refused to grand them entry as illegal immigrants (so as to not encourage more such immigration and burden their tax payers and ports).
  • Weeks of negotiation followed between the British and Turks; the jews then ran out of food and refused to let Turkish police board the Struma. The result was the British honoured expired visas for Palestine held by a couple of the passengers plus granted visas to any jew who was 11-16 years old. While the Turks hospitalized one jew who was ill but the bulk of the jews didn’t fit this criteria. However neither the British or the Turks agreed to take these jewish illegal immigrants.
  • The Turkish government spent weeks trying to repair the Struma’s engine but failed. Eventually the Turkish authorities had had enough of jews demanding things from them (food, immigration visas, free repairs etc) so they towed the Struma out to international waters for jewish organizations or another country to sort out.
  • The Struma floats around a bit with no engine; jewish groups make no attempt to rescue the crew and passengers.
  • Soviet submarine Shch-213 on secret orders to engage in unrestricted submarine warfare sinks the Struma which is still overcrowded and only has two lifeboats.
  • The Turkish navy tries to effect a rescue but are too late.

In other words: the Struma disaster was almost entirely the fault of the Betar Zionist Youth organization and nothing to do with the Axis whatsoever with the only minimal blame going to the British, the Soviets and the Turks.“]

We shall know soon enough.
