Property Restitution Unjust Enrichment Jews Did Also To Other Jews Eldad

The First Tithe, by Israel Eldad. 2008

“Acquisitiveness” of “Post-Jewish” Property By Jews Themselves! Jewish Spies for USSR. Jews Desert Anders’ Army en Masse: No Concept of Loyalty to Poland

The translator points out that Eldad was born in 1910 in Eastern Galicia, and his family lived in Lvov (p. 9) [Lwow, Lviv]. The author was in the Betar. Disappointingly, he has little to say about the Betarim in Poland, and most of his book is about anti-British violence in the Yishuv. Other reviewers have focused on this, and I will not repeat them.

Some takeaways from this book (not listed according to chronology of events):

THE REAL REASON FOR “JEWISH PASSIVITY’ DURING THE HOLOCAUST: UNJUST ENRICHMENT AT THE EXPENSE OF EARLIER-MURDERED JEWS

Authors such as Jan T. Gross, and the media that have been giving them uncritical coverage, have painted Poles “greedy” and “anti-Semitic” for their “unjust enrichment” at the expense of the Nazi-German murdered Jews. Ironically, the same could be said about later-murdered Jews in relation to the earlier-murdered Jews!

Thus, author Israel Eldad comments, “A lot is said about the heroism of the ghettoes. But not much is said about the lateness of this heroism, of the Warsaw Ghetto and Vilna [Wilno, Vilnius] Ghetto uprisings. Why did the Jews wait until they remained so few in number? Why was the revolt delayed? The answer is well known, and cruel: After every transport, after every ‘action,’ those who remained consoled themselves that now the beast of prey had satisfied itself. Those who remained were, it seemed to them, inscribed for life—and those who remained agreed and were happy to live at the expense of those who were taken. This is a horrible truth, but it is the truth.” (p. 367).

This has unmentioned implications. Were the Holocaust Industry successful in forcing modern Poles to pay for their ancestors’ “unjust enrichment” at the expense of the Jews, then also the Holocaust Industry would have to force the descendants of Holocaust-surviving and later-murdered Jews to pay for “unjust enrichment” at the expense of the earlier-murdered Jews. Of course, this would never happen, but this goes on to show the unsound nature of the whole Holocaust Industry setup.

THE “WE ARE GLAD THAT HITLER DID THE DIRTY WORK FOR US” HOLOCAUSTSPEAK MEME

Jewish Polonophobia commonly features the innuendo that Poles are happy that the Germans “solved the Jewish problem” in Poland. Eldad also repeats this scurrilous accusation. However, he also expands this accusation to encompass the Russians and even the French and British. (p. 193). Everybody is a demon.

JEWISH DISLOYALTY: THE MASS DESERTION OF JEWS FROM GENERAL WLADYSLAW ANDERS’ POLISH ARMY

The author tacitly acknowledges that the Jewish mass desertion was, first and foremost, motivated by the absence of Jewish loyalty to Poland. He comments, “Even the hundreds and thousands who deserted from the Polish army not in order to serve the Hebrew nation but just ‘because,’ merely to discard uniforms their hearts were not in, merely to be Jewish citizens in Eretz Israel among other Jews, even they were not deserters. Anyone who asked me for advice—to desert or not to desert—I unhesitatingly answered: Desert. And I helped many do so. What have we to do with these Polish uniforms? Throw them away along with the whole Diaspora and the whole Diaspora mentality.” (pp. 111-112).

As if to rationalize this disloyalty to Poland, Eldad then levels this vile calumny at General Anders’ Polish soldiers, “How much more so in the case of General Anders’ army, most of whose soldiers and officers would certainly have been participating in the slaughter of Jews had they but remained in Poland.” (p. 112). What Polonophobic rot!

JEWS CHOOSE BETWEEN COMMUNISM AND REVISIONIST ZIONISM

Israel Eldad rejects the common exculpatory notion that Jews in Communism were some kind of marginal or extremist phenomenon. He comments, “A Jewish youth, revolutionary and extra-territorial in character, was ready to join either an extra-territorial world revolution or a revolution to territorialize the Hebrew people…As it was, the best of the Communist movement was Jewish, but if not for these trials [of Trotskyites in the USSR], the boredom and frustration within the Jewish community would have pushed many more thousands into this foreigner’s revolution. Betar became the alternative for the revolutionary, dynamic spirit of the youth, and Betar grew tremendously in the mid-1930s.” (p. 29).

LOCAL JEWS EXTENSIVELY HELPED SOVIETS SPY ON THE LOCALS

After the German-Soviet conquest of Poland in 1939, Eldad, along with Menachem Begin, found themselves in Red-occupied Vilnius. He suspects Communist connivance in what happened then, but, in doing so, he acknowledges the extensive pro-Soviet intelligence work of local Jews [which made it easier for the Soviets to identify and round-up valuable Polish citizens for murder or deportation to Siberia]. He revealingly quips, “Too many Jews worked for the secret police, too many people knew about the forged visas and passports. The Soviets must have known. Yet the government feigned ignorance, allowing us to leave. One cannot seek logic here.” (p. 63).
