Oh, history!

I am wondering what Jewish pogroms did the author find in the Communist Russia of 1920s and 30s. The Communist govt was fiercely internationalist and antisemitism as well as Zionism were prohibited. Now, the idea that European Jews somehow were trapped because they were not allowed to go to Palestine is bizarre to say the least. European Jews were either predominanlty secular or under the Communist ruling and as such never even considered Palestine. It is reflected in numerous books of those times.By the way, the idea that 'people have to emigrate somewhere from the place they were born' is an insult to the human rights.
The tragedy of the European Jews is the tragedy of betrayal when citizens, other ones betrayed their own brothers due to cowardice and malice. In fact, those who died from Germans are first just people and only after that Jews. That's how they identified themselves and that is how we all identify ourselves. Honestly, maybe we should stop using all that ethnic stuff and instead look into politics, driving forces and money? That pertains also to the description by the author of the Zionist ideology. Zionism is politics. It has nothing to do with God. It has also nothing to do with Jews, paradoxically as it seems. It has everything to do with money, power, malice and greed.
Why won't we see that?
