The Allies risked their lives (many soldiers died in the process) to save the Jews, that`s what they did. Israel would exist today if it wasn`t for the Allies, so please don`t be so ungrateful, many died just to save the Jews.
If you think Israel should get special treatment because of the holocaust, then you really need to read up on the history of other nations who have endured far greater genocides than the Jews, does America owe all of them as well? Futhermore, you really think America owes Israel because some Jew who helped finance the revolutionary war, well guess what, the jews also helped finance the Black Slave Trade in America. Your own rabbi talks about it here;
"During the eighteenth century Jews participated in the `triangular trade` that brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and there exchanged them for molasses, which in turn was taken to New England and converted into rum for sale in Africa. Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750`s, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760`s, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760`s and early 1770`s dominated Jewish slave trading on the American continent.In fact, in all the American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently dominated.Slave auctions were postponed if they fell on a Jewish holiday"-Rabbi Dr. Marc Lee Raphael is the editor (since 1988) of American Jewish History
Malcom X and Martin Luther kings, both of whom played an integral role in liberating the black people, agreed that the Jews were the main force behind the black slave trade. In fact, the Jews played such a major role in the black slave trade that only on Jewish holidays were no slaves traded. So please don`t tell us about Obama and America owing anything to Israel, please buddy.
Americans are fed up of helping Israel and Obama represents those sentiments as he continues to distance himself from Israel.
Hey Lovemaker, where is this Rabbi Dr. Marc Lee Raphael? I can only find reference of him on anti-semetic websites. I can`t find out where this guy is from. I looked him on Wikipedia and it says there is no page for him? If he so reknowned, why is he unknown? He`s my rabbi? Lovemaker, you come across like a genuine anti-semite. I never heard of him. There were Jewish slave owners, and Jews involved in slave trade, but it was minimal. The garbage you quote is from the Nation of Islam`s book, the Relationship between Blacks and Jews. We all know where the Nation of Islam is coming from. Sounds like the same place you are coming from, buddy.

This article is about involvement of Jews in slavery and slave trade. For slave ownership rules and practices in Judaism, see
Judaism and slavery.
Like their Christian and Muslim neighbors, Jews owned slaves and participated in the slave trade. In the middle ages, Jews were minimally involved in slave trade.[SUP]
[1][/SUP] During the 1490s, trade with the
New World began to open up. At the same time, the monarchies of Spain and Portugal
expelled all of their Jewish subjects. As a result, Jews began participating in all sorts of trade on the Atlantic, including the slave trade.
In 1991, the
Nation of Islam published the book
The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews which alleged that Jews dominated the North Atlantic slave trade. Several scholarly works were subsequently published refuting that thesis.[SUP]
[2][/SUP] These scholars demonstrated that Jews did not dominate the slave trade in Medieval Europe, Africa, and/or the
Americas,[SUP]
[3][/SUP][SUP]
[4][/SUP] and that Jews had no major or continuing impact on the history of New World slavery.[SUP]

[6][/SUP] They possessed far fewer slaves than non-Jews in every British territory in North America and the Caribbean, and in no period did they play a leading role as financiers, shipowners, or factors in the transatlantic or Caribbean slave trades.[SUP]

Slavery historian Jason H. Silverman described the part of Jews in slave trading in the southern United states as "minuscule", and wrote that the historical rise and fall of slavery in the United States would not have been affected at all had there been no Jews living in the south.[SUP]
[8][/SUP] Jews accounted for 1.25% of all Southern slave owners, and were not significantly different from other slave owners in their treatment of slaves.[SUP]
