Your equating the creation of the Jewish state with the Holocaust is total nonsense.The creation of Israel in Palestine was begun with the Balfour Declaration in 1917,which recognized the need for a Jewish state.The San Remo conference in 1920/1921 confirmed the need for a Jewish homeland,as well as the British Mandate for Palestine.The UN accepted the responsibility for encouraging the creation of a Jewish state by accepting the British Mandate and the rest is history.Indeed, any comparison of the creation of Israel with the destruction of European Jewry is pure bull dust, and tells more about the bigotry of "German" than anything else.
