Nor any perceived by anyone but the jews, who would blame their own

Which is a problem created by the inaction of the peoples of Europe.
Surely you don't suggest that the Nazi couldn't have been thwarted in
their endeavor to rid Europe of jews before they became the dominate
force in the area. Hell, ya'll claim that we weren't needed to defeat
the Nazi, so ya'll must have been able on your own.

Or the rest of Europe didn't look the other way.

 WD> No blood?     Better think twice.

I have. I'm sick and tired of people belly aching because they think Jews
are the innocent lambs led to slaughter by those who had nothing to do
with it.

Not so. WW2 Nazi' are being hunted down to this day.

Yeah, but he didn't get started until after the fact. Where was he and his
kind when they were needed to take in those Jews who needed sanctuary,
before the fact?

Seems to me to be the least involved with the most to gain. Vaults full of
Nazi war treasure speak volumes. Swiss banks the heir apparent.

 WD> was ultra poor at that time.

Still, it was a Norwegian protectorate before the war. Where were the
Norwegians? Making heavy water for the Nazi?
