The greatest crime of the Zionists, such as Ben Gurion and Greenbaum, was committed against the European Jews themselves. There is an abundance of documentary evidence that the colonists who had already settled from Europe in Palestine knew their best hope of “gaining world sympathy” for a settler-colony in Palestine was to sacrifice the six million European Jews in ghettos and camps. The Nazis repeatedly demanded a ransom of £20,000 which was less than half the £50,000 the Zionists were holding in their Palestine fund. The Zionists made the deliberate decision not to pay that money, calculating that they would acquire such a deep line of sympathy credit from the world that they would be granted virtually anything they asked for.
