    I think you are talking about this?
    If so, the Zionists did not have control over how many could go to Palestine(I believe Britain severely limited it due to Arab pressure), they we're given a certain number that was allowed to come over, and chose to have the youngest healthiest individuals that would have the best chance of adapting. Cruel? Yes. I don't blame the Zionists for that though, I blame the Nazi's.

    then he goes on to say,
    I don't agree, I think they did the best they we're capable of, at that time. The Transfer Agreement was a controversy, but it seems like everyone had good intentions. I've actually just spent hours searching, trying to find proof of what you are trying to say, but am just coming up with dubious websites that make blanket claims with no proof. If you consider Zionists dealing with Nazi's in an attempt to save Jewish lives as Nazi collaborators, then OK, but beyond that I really don't see what point you're trying to make.

    You may want to be reminded that the topic of this thread is The day Israel used a boy aged 13 as a Human Shield. Maybe we can stick to this thread rather than attack each other?

    Is this what you think, or what you believe, or what you wish, or the truth?

    This is Fact.


    The British government placed limitations on Jewish immigration to Palestine. These quotas were controversial, particularly in the latter years of British rule, and both Arabs and Jews disliked the policy, each side for its own reasons.

    I bet, though it was the worst option for holocaust victims.

    the question was very direct, but I will ask it again, was Palestine the only option to save as many Jews as possible?

    edit: your answer says no, but in indirect way, could you please explain more?

    So they couldn't go to America for example, right?
    The only safe place for them from Holocaust was Palestine, right?

    Well obviously Alaska was too cold of a place, Russia too evil, Germany scary, hmm Palestine sounds like the best choice!

    I am interested in that research, because, I have found else,

    it would have been much easier, and cheaper, and faster to find a close place even if temporarily before moving to Palestine, or to allow US to help when they offered to help instead of telling them no need.

    Talk about closing the barn door long after the cow's out.

    Althought to be fair I'm researching a similar topic. I wanna know why the heck the pilgrims didnt take a left before hitting Plymouth Rock... I'd much rather have been raised in Cancun. Do we get historical do-overs too?
