In your first paragraph you say that America had the room to take the emaciated Jewish survivors from the Holocaust. In your second paragraph you say that America didn't want to take in the Jewish survivors. You see what I mean by, racial and religious hatred blinds you?

Thomas, I have heard that there was a lot of anti-Jewish sentiment in the United States (among other places) in the World War II era. Given that, what proof is there that it would have changed the outcome if Rabbi Wise had supported U.S. acceptance of WWII Jewish refugees? Even if it would have, that does not make it the fault of the entire Jewish people, nor of the refugees, and certainly not the fault of their descendants. I thought Arabs were supposed to be against "collective punishment."
