Do you think (in the future) that you could possibly attach your images via the attachment option if that's not too much of a hassle? This way the image is never lost![]()

Really? What a stitch up. How about the US or Canada or even Birobidjan? How about China, Africa, Australia or New Zealand?
Further on in one of the reports Senator Wagner says 'The Jewish nation home in Palestine has been a world sanctioned experiment in democracy...'
Really said who? Who voted in this exercise in democracy, which middle eastern nationals were asked to vote, how many times did the peoples of Palestine get to cast a vote?
This Jackson was a zionist stooge as was clearly demonstrated by all the zionist nutters who were all around him. He used his allegiance to the zionist agenda in Nuremberg without a doubt, thus proving if more proof is needed, that Nuremberg was simply a stitch up to clear the decks of truth and pave the way for the millions of jews, who would later be claimed as holocaust dead, to flood into Palestine.
Louis Lipsky (November 30, 1876 – May 27, 1963) was an American Zionist leader, President of the Zionist Organization of America, magazine editor, and author of books on Jewish culture and politics.

Louis Lipsky, Dean of American Zionist Movement, Dead; Funeral Friday
May 28, 1963
NEW YORK (May. 27)
Louis Lipsky, dean of American Zionists, friend and colleague of the late Dr. Chaim Weizmann in the building of the State of Israel, died today at his home here after an illness of two months. He was 86.
[...]
His death ended a career of 60 years as principal Zionist architect, theoretician, orator, builder and writer in the United States. His life and career spanned the entire history of the Zionist movement in America from its beginnings at the turn of the century to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
He was American Zionism’s helmsman throughout, first as secretary of the Zionist Organization of America, later as president of the ZOA; as a member of the World Zionist executive committee, and of the executive of the Jewish Agency, serving in London, Jerusalem and New York, and as a speaker and writer. He played a vital role in creating the climate in America which led to Woodrow Wilson’s espousal of a Jewish national homeland, followed by the issuance of the Balfour Declaration,
In the stormy years which followed, he organized a powerful movement to support the Palestine Jewish settlement against Arab terror and British violation of the Mandate. World War II saw him in the forefront of the movement to mobilize the entire Jewish community in support of a Jewish State at the war’s end through the American Jewish Conference.
He helped to create the American Jewish Conference and served as co-chairman of its interim committee from 1944 to 1949, using its platform to mobilize support for partition of Palestine and, after the United Nations Palestine partition resolution was adopted, to prevent its attrition.
[...]
Mr. Lipsky was the editor of the American Hebrew from 1900 to 1914. He resigned that post to become secretary of the Federation of American Zionists. He was the first editor of the first Zionist publication in English, The Maccabean. During his Zionist career he served at various periods as president of the Zionist Organization of America, chairman of the Palestine Foundation Fund, chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, chairman of the American Zionist Conference, chairman of the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs, vice-president of the American Jewish Congress, and chairman of the Central Committee of the World Jewish Congress.
During the Hitler period he was in the forefront of the anti-Hitler movement, together with the late Dr. Stephen S. Wise, and served as one of the heads of the American Jewish Congress, which he had helped to found.
Committed to the democratic way of life, Mr. Lipsky sought to introduce democratic methods and concepts into the organization of Jewish life in America, and led many of the stormy battles of the first decades against the concept that devotion to Zionism and the use of the vote in Jewish organizational life involved dual loyalty. He was one of the founders of the World Jewish Congress in 1936.
In 1929, he helped Dr. Weizmann created the enlarged Jewish Agency. In 1930, he became the president of the Eastern Life Insurance Company, a post he held until his retirement in 1959. He came to know every American President from Theodore Roosevelt to Eisenhower.

American Jewish Conference was an ad hoc organization that first met in Pittsburg in January 1943, and had its first official conference in August that year. The initial meeting included delegates from thirty-two national Jewish organizations. It was called to decide upon the role that the American Jewish community would play in representing Jewish demands after the war and helping to build Jewish Palestine.[1] The result was the creation of the American Jewish Conference, which consisted of sixty-four Jewish groups, including American Jewish Committee; it constituted the most representative gathering of American Jews ever.

Selig Brodetsky (10 February 1888 – 20 May 1954) was a Russian-born English mathematician, a member of the World Zionist Executive, the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, and the second president of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
[...]
In 1928 he became a member of the World Zionist Executive and head of its political department in London. In 1940 he became president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the lay head of British Jewry.
For the last few years of his life, Brodetsky led a quiet life, in contrast to the hectic lifestyle he had led for most of his life. He died in his home on Cromwell Road in London on 20 May 1954 and was buried in the Willesden Jewish cemetery.
One of the dormitories of Tel Aviv University in Israel is named the "Brodetsky building". Before serving as a dormitory, the building served as living accommodations for new immigrants to Israel. In addition, a Jewish primary school in Leeds was named after him.

Nahum Goldmann (Hebrew: נחום גולדמן) (July 10, 1895 – August 29, 1982) was a leading Zionist and the founder and longtime president of the World Jewish Congress from 1948 to 1977.
[...]
Nahum Goldmann was born in Vishnevo, Russian Empire, a shtetl in the Pale of Settlement (now Višnieva, Belarus), the son of a teaching and writing Litvak family, whose father was an ardent Zionist. At the age of six, he moved with his parents to Frankfurt, Germany, where his father entertained leading Zionists and intellectuals. In 1911, while still in high school, he and his father attended the Tenth Zionist Congress. Goldmann went on to study law, history, and philosophy in Marburg, Heidelberg, and Berlin. He graduated in law and philosophy.[1]
In 1913, he visited Palestine for four months, publishing his impressions the following year in his book, Eretz Israel, Reisebriefe aus Palästina (Eretz Israel, Travel letters from Palestine),[2] which was published in two editions.[3] In the period 1916-18, Goldmann worked for the German "Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient", an intelligence and propaganda bureau related to the German Foreign Office, which tried to instrumentalize ethnic and religious nationalist currents within the Ottoman Empire such as Panturkism, Islamism and Zionism for German interests, to fight back increasing British and French influence in the region. In that period, the head of "Nachrichtenstelle" was Prof. Dr. Eugen Mittwoch, a leading German Arabist and Orientalist and at the same time a leading personality in Germany's Jewish community. During this period,[4] he attempted to enlist Kaiser Wilhelm's support for the Zionist ideal. In 1922 he founded the Eschkol-Publikations-Gesellschaft (Eschkol Publication Society), and was involved in publishing a Zionist periodical.
[...]
In 1936, Goldmann and Reform Rabbi Stephen S. Wise established the World Jewish Congress (WJC).
[...]
The worsening of the refugee problem after the Anschluss in 1938, however, created additional pressure, leading President Roosevelt to call for an international conference known as the Evian Conference, which met in France in July of that year. The conference goal was to find homes for the hundreds of thousands of displaced Jews. Goldman attended as an observer for the World Jewish Congress.[19] Of the 32 nations that attended, only the Dominican Republic agreed to accept additional refugees.[20]
In such circumstances, efforts were mainly directed towards the old programme of 'rehabilitating Palestine'. Goldmann called for an extraordinary Zionist conference in 1942 to form a cohesive strategy to attenuate the devastating effects of Nazi policies on European Jews, and the outcome was the Biltmore Program, which called for, among other things, unrestricted Jewish immigration to Palestine.
[...]
In January 1945, Goldmann was instrumental in the creation of a committee combining the efforts of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and the Jewish Agency for the rescue and rehabilitation of the remnants of the Jewish people in Europe.
[...]
After the war he worked actively with David Ben-Gurion towards the creation of Israel
[...]
From 1951 he was the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Jewish Agency. In that year, he convened a meeting in New York City of 23 major national and international Jewish organizations to address the task of negotiating an agreement with the West German government for the reparations to Jews for losses caused by Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (also known as the Claims Conference) was the organization that emerged from this meeting. On September 10, 1952, after six months of negotiations, a reparations agreement between the Claims Conference and Konrad Adenauer's government of West Germany was reached.
[...]
Goldmann served from 1948 to 1977 as president of the World Jewish Congress, the coordinating body for many Jewish organizations outside Israel. [...] From 1956 to 1968, Goldmann served as the President of the World Zionist Organization.

Stephen Samuel Wise (born Weisz, March 17, 1874 – April 19, 1949) was an Austro-Hungarian-born American Reform rabbi and Zionist leader.
[...]
Rabbi Wise was an early supporter of Zionism, and his support for, and commitment to Political Zionism was very atypical of Reform Judaism, which was historically and decidedly non-Zionist since the Pittsburgh Platform in 1885. He was a founder of the New York Federation of Zionist Societies in 1897, which led in the formation of the national Federation of American Zionists (FAZ), a forerunner of the Zionist Organization of America. At the Second Zionist Congress (Basel, 1898), he was a delegate and secretary for the English language. Wise served as honorary secretary of FAZ, in close cooperation with Theodor Herzl until the latter's death in 1904.[3]
[...]
When the Federation of American Zionists (FAZ) was originally established, Wise was appointed the position secretary. After the organization transformed into the Zionist Organization of America, Rabbi Wise fulfilled positions as both president and vice president during his lifetime.
Wise was a close friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who turned to Wise for advice on issues concerning the Jewish community in the United States. In addition, Wise had also acted a liaison to previous President Wilson.
In 1925 Wise became chairman of Keren Hayesod, while continuing efforts to bring the Reform movement around to a pro-Zionist stance. With the rise to power of Adolf Hitler's regime, Wise took the position that public opinion in the United States and elsewhere should be rallied against the Nazis. He used his influence with President Roosevelt both in this area as well as on the Zionist question.
[...]
Wise, along with Leo Motzkin and Nahum Goldmann, encouraged the creation in August 1936 of the World Jewish Congress
On November 24, 1942, [...] Wise held a press conference in Washington, D.C. and announced that the Nazis had a plan for the extermination of all European Jews, and had already killed 2 million; unfortunately, it didn't make front page news.[8] The information was based on the Riegner Telegram, a message sent to Wise in August 1942 by Gerhart M Riegner, then representative of the World Jewish Congress in Geneva, informing the Allies about the so-called "Final Solution of the Jewish question", the German plan to exterminate the European Jews, for the first time.

Robert Houghwout Jackson (1892 – 1954), chief United States
prosecutor at the trial of the Major War Criminals in Nuremberg
On Sunday, January 15, 1939, Jackson addressed the 1,500 American Zionists gathered for the 'National Conference on Palestine' at the Mayflower hotel in Washington D.C. The full speech can be read here, but following are a few extracts:"The plight of the Jews in the world today is a challenge to the Christian conscience to make good the promise of a Jewish National Home in Palestine."
"The Jewish hopes in Palestine today rest not only upon "ancient historic connection" but also on very practical and modern considerations. The dispossessed Jew, driven from many nations of the earth, finds most doors closed to an immigration of such unprecedented character. Whether rightly or not, many nations fear that their own economy and polity might be disrupted by extending a right of sanctuary. There are few peoples left in the world who have that calm assurance in their own adequacy to meet their own problems which bids them dare accept the responsibilities of the refugees. And apart from the uncertainty which men of good will feel, also, in many of the countries, there are currents of racial hate and suspicion, milder perhaps than in the countries which have dispossessed and evicted the Jew, but still strong enough to deny him a refuge from his pursuers. Looking at the world realistically we cannot be blind to the fact that the days of free and easy emigration are past. There remain few frontiers that invite settlement and challenge men who do not fit in older communities to share the adventure of founding new ones. Even our own Statue of Liberty no longer beckons the oppressed of other lands to come and live beneath the warm sun of freedom. Other lands, like our own, have all but shut their doors or have rationed their hospitality on a quota basis.
But in Palestine today there is room for more refugees than in any other country in the world. The Jews there already number 450,000. They constitute a community which has successfully carried on one of the most difficult colonization projects in the history of mankind. They have reclaimed arid wastes, built new cities, drained swamps, established industries, and breathed new life into an old and neglected land. In decades they have made strides that elsewhere have taken centuries. They have established institutions capable of absorbing the refugees. Here a sober, industrious, and self-disciplined people may sympathetically accept their kinsmen and resettle them in the land of their fathers. Here by great sacrifice and hard labor the Jew may of right escape oppression and bondage and renew an interrupted culture, and give to the world new evidence of an historic mission.
Those who profess Christianity cannot fail to see in this movement something of the fulfilment, to the people of the Bible, of the prophecies of the Bible, as declared by Isaiah, Ezekiel and Amos."
"Democracy in America is under a heavy debt to individual Jews. There are those who think of the Jew only as a man of trade and who picture him as concerned only with the accumulation of wealth. That is a false picture in America, at least. Our great banking houses are guided by Yankee thrift and no Jew could better the commercial instruction of the Yankee. In the financial and industrial corporations there are relatively few Jewish directors.
The predominant contribution of the Jew to American life is intellectual. In the law it is doubtful if the contributions of any man of our times may be measured against those of Mr. Justice Brandeis or the late Mr. Justice Cardozo. Given to the nation, against an incredibly bitter opposition, by Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Justice Brandeis with his associate, Mr. Justice Holmes, almost alone sustained the spiritual courage and the intellectual integrity of liberal political thought in America during the dark and futile days from 1920 to 1932."
"The pledge that in Palestine your indestructible people would find a national home after eighteen centuries of exile, dispersion, and suffering is a challenge to the Christian conscience. What American would not rejoice to see the reunited Children of Israel resurrect the life and culture of the people of the Bible in that little land which has shaped our faith? Who can fail in sympathy with exiles who turn, as their fathers turned of old, to Palestine as a Promised Land where bondage will be broken, where they may find tranquillity of spirit. This masterful stock after its long Odyssey of dispersion and suffering has yet the astonishing tenacity of spirit that the Egyptian taskmasters found in the Children of Israel of whom Exodus tells us "the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew."
I can easily understand the anxiety and distress of Jews everywhere, as in land after land, your people are subjected to a policy of afflictions which we had supposed had long been renounced by all civilized governments.
Yet I believe that there should be a stirring of Christian anxiety even deeper than your own. A terrible debit is being written in the great book of history against the non-Jewish world, and those who have faith in ultimate justice fear that it is the Gentile rather than the Jew who should seek deliverance.
It is the non-Jewish world that is earning for itself a day of retribution and leaving its children a legacy of shame. To earnestly carry out the promise and help to fulfil the hope of a Jewish National Home in Palestine might be a powerful help on the Day of Atonement.
The Jew, as of old, is again on the rack of persecution. But the farseeing know that persecution, like fire, purifies the spirit. Among a persecuted people, noble forces come to the top and bloom in a finer culture and a nobler life. They forgive old grudges; they forget the feuds of more prosperous days; they draw together and achieve a solidarity in sacrifice. Smarting under a sense of wrong, they hand on a legacy of nobility and courage and spiritual exaltation which comes only of suffering."
"But I am urging you as leaders of your people to summon the wisdom of the ages and lift up your hearts. Your race is again on the anvil, taking that terrible hammering which has made the toughness of character that has so influenced mankind."
Incidentally, the previous day, Zionist leader Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver told the conference that 'it is impossible to evacuate six million Jews.' Stephen 'six million Jews' Wise also addressed the conference, and a message from Chaim 'six million Jews' Weizmann was read to the conference. Jackson would have his first dealings with the six million figure of Jews six years later, noting in his diary June 11, 1945: 'I was particularly interested in knowing the source and reliability of his* estimate (six million Jews) as I know no authentic data on it.'
