TFJ Series 1 Episode 37 - The Birth of Israel 

When the British refused to allow 10,000 Jewish children to escape Europe and come to Palestine, it could not be that that they did not understand that barring their entry meant subjecting them to their annihilation. Images from Kristallnacht had been broadcast across worldwide media. And still Britain issued the White Paper agreeing to all of the Arab demands meaning that there would be no haven in Palestine for Jews fleeing for their lives and that the home for the Jews promised in the Balfour Declaration could not be realized. 

TFJ examines the plight of three doomed ships from this period which vividly highlight that Jews had nowhere in the world to escape to and the establishment of a Jewish state was a matter of life and death. As the British were unconcerned about this reality, Palestinian Jewry, most notably the Haganah, the precursor of the Israel Defence Forces, worked to smuggle in what the British deemed illegal immigrants. If they were caught, the British, ironically, like the Nazis, placed them in camps behind barbed wire.

Just as Neville Chamberlain bought shame to himself and the British government by his policy of appeasement a the Munich Conference; likewise the British Mandatory Authority foolishly engaged in a policy of appeasement with the Arabs in Palestine. The policy intended to calm the Arabs and curb further violence did nothing of the sort and the untold lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews, likely millions, paid the price. The Peele Commission proposed offering the Jews just a small sliver of land and the balance be awarded to the Arabs, but even this outrageously advantageous solution was rejected out of hand by the Arabs.

Teller From Jerusalem is very pleased to welcome “America’s Rabbi” to the show, Shmuley Boteach. Author of 31 popular books, outspoken media guru, Shmuley always has what to say and there are no holds barred. The episode with Shmuley was recorded in May 2021 during the midst of Operation Guardian of the Walls when Israel repelled the missiles fired from Gaza by Hamas terrorists. It was an opportune time to ask Shmuley about the arch Palestinian terrorist, Haj Amin el-Husseini.

Al-Husseini admired the way the Nazis were exterminating Jews and conducted meetings as to how their perfected system could be imported to the Middle East. And before even waiting for Erwin Rommel and the Afrika Korps to invade Egypt the Jerusalem mufti joined hands with the Nazis to parachute terrorists into Israel to start and Arab revolt against the Jews and the British. Al-Husseini had the copyright and the Germans had the logistics, fortunately, it did not work.

Teller from Jerusalem Series 1: Episode 31

The rise of a pro-German government threatened the Jews of Iraq who learned in 1941 that antisemitism was not just confined to just their European brothers and sisters. The situation was exploited by Muslim leaders who made it very clear to Iraq’s Jewish community that was so integral in creating Iraqi culture, that they had no present or future in a land where they had lived for 2500 years.
