Rabbi Weissman: Betrayal.....Interview with Steve Rodan

 Zionist Betrayal Then and Now: Interview with Steve Rodan

The Holocaust, the Yom Kippur War, October 7, and everything in between are intertwined

Tonight I spoke with Steve Rodan, author of In Jewish Blood: The Zionist Alliance with Germany, 1933-1963, to shed further light on the historical information that follows below, and he delivered in a big way.

This special episode of Amalek and Erev Rav is embedded above and on Rumble here.

My first interview with Steve Rodan three years ago is available here.

There is no fluff in these programs; every second is worth listening to and sharing.

By any objective standard I received a fine Jewish education in my early years, culminating with several expensive and impressive-looking pieces of paper I never bothered framing. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until last week, when reviewing an essay by Rav Elchonon Wasserman, that I first came across the name Yitzhak Gruenbaum.

Rav Wasserman referenced the statement of a Zionist political leader, “A death blow to Orthodox Jews!” An endnote identified the person who said it as Yitzhak Gruenbaum. Intrigued, I looked him up.

Here are some brief citations from a cursory search:

From Wikipedia:

During the Holocaust, he served on the "Committee of Four" chosen at the outbreak of World War II to maintain contact with Polish Jewry and aid in their rescue. In 1942, when word reached the Yishuv of the mass extermination by the German occupying forces taking place in Eastern Europe, Gruenbaum was chosen to head a 12-member Rescue Committee comprising representatives of the various parties. Due to circumstances prevailing at the time, their rescue efforts failed to accomplish much.

Someone who openly pined for the death of Orthodox Jews seems like an odd choice to head a committee to rescue Jews from the Holocaust, wouldn’t you say?

Perhaps that had something to do with their failure to accomplish much? Perhaps that was the intention all along?

This is Gruenbaum’s bio from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

Yitzhak Gruenbaum (1879-1970), Zionist leader and spokesman for Polish Jewry in the interwar period. He immigrated to Palestine in 1933, where he served as a member of the Jewish Agency Executive. During World War II, in addition to his position as head of the Labor Department, he chaired the Jewish Agency's Joint Rescue Committee (1943-44). He was sharply criticized for his slowness in accepting the validity of early reports of the Final Solution and for his reluctance to pursue large scale rescue efforts because they stood little chance of success.

Sorry, not buying that bit of whitewashing.

Back on Gruenbaum’s Wikipedia page, here’s a famous quote at the end:

“I think it is necessary to state here – Zionism is above everything.” and “I will not demand that the Jewish Agency allocate a sum of 300,000 or 100,000 pounds sterling to help European Jewry. And I think that whoever demands such things is performing an anti-Zionist act.” Stated at a 1942 gathering in pre-state Israel (Yishuv) about rescue of Jews in Europe.

So we have the man charged with rescuing Jews from Holocaust emphatically refusing to earmark funds to save them, and calls such efforts an anti-Zionist act.

In case that wasn’t clear enough, on February 18, 1943 the Chairman of the Rescue Committee of the Jewish Agency said this in an address to the Zionist Executive Council:

“NO! and I say again, NO! Not one cow here for ten thousand Jews in Germany.” (Source)

The only reasonable conclusion is that Gruenbaum was hand-picked by his Zionist comrades (including Ben-Gurion) to sabotage rescue efforts under the guise of leading them.

Following his fine contribution to the Jewish people the Zionist movement, Yitzhak Gruenbaum became Israel’s first Minister of the Interior, was nominated for President of Israel in 1952, and had a youth village in Israel named after him.

It’s worth noting that Gruenbaum was passed over for President in favor of Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, who helped orchestrate the Zionists’ first (known) political assassination:

According to Avraham Tehomi, Ben-Zvi ordered the 1924 murder of Jacob Israël de Haan. De Haan had come to Palestine as an ardent Zionist, but he had become increasingly critical of the Zionist organizations, preferring a negotiated solution to the armed struggle between the Jews and Arabs. This is how Tehomi acknowledged his own part in the murder over sixty years later, in an Israeli television interview in 1985: “I have done what the Haganah decided had to be done. And nothing was done without the order of Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. I have no regrets because he [de Haan] wanted to destroy our whole idea of Zionism.”

The Haganah was later rebranded as the IDF.

Yitzhak Gruenbaum, the man who pined for the death of Orthodox Jewry and sabotaged efforts to save them from within, had a son by the name of Eliezer. Eliezer was a kapo:

At the war's end, he endured a personal crisis involving his son, Eliezer Gruenbaum. The latter, a Holocaust survivor, was accused in Paris by two other Holocaust survivors of having served as a Kapo and acting with cruelty towards Jewish prisoners. During his son's detention and trial, Gruenbaum remained at his side. When the case closed, Eliezer immigrated to Palestine but continued to be attacked by right-wing and religious groups eager to discredit his father.

The accusations are far more credible and significant than the above paragraph makes it seem. The following is excerpted from Eliezer Gruenbaum’s Wikipedia page:

Eliezer Grynbaum or Eliezer Gruenbaum was a Polish Jewish communist activist. During World War II, he was a kapo in the Auschwitz concentration camp. After the war, he wrote memoirs about his experiences.

In 1942 he was arrested, as a communist, not as a Jew, and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp. In Auschwitz, he became a kapo, a title given to prisoners supervising forced labor or carrying out administrative tasks. He survived the camp, and after the war he was accused of collaboration with Nazi Germany, and of “mercilessly beating inmates”. He was also accused of murdering “tens of thousands of Jewish prisoners”.

He defended himself claiming that he only accepted the position at the request of other Jews, who wanted one of their own in the position, which was otherwise often filled by antisemitic non-Jewish people, including German criminals. Research based on analysis of his memoirs, however, concluded that he became a kapo due to “intervention by communists”…

In 1945, after the war, he was tried by a communist tribunal on charges of participating in violent beatings, but was shortly acquitted. He resumed his political activities, advocating for the communist takeover of Poland, but he was soon arrested again, in France, accused by fellow Jews of having been the “head of the Birkenau death camp.”

In a trial that lasted eight months, he was acquitted again, because the French court concluded that “neither the accused nor the victims were French”.

Yitzhak Gruenbaum was not an outlier. He represents the very identity of the Zionist movement, the very fabric of the un-Jewish state that these enemies of the Jewish people with Hebrew names created. That’s why they honored him and his comrades, and ensured their ilk would continue to occupy the highest positions of power.

This hasn’t changed.

Also see this lengthy article (ironically, from a Marxist archive). The Zionist leaders wanted lots of Jewish blood to be spilled to further their ambitions for an un-Jewish state.

It is no accident that those who were responsible for protecting the Jewish people on October 7 pulled a Gruenbaum. As always, they have their own agenda, and have no compunctions about Jewish blood being spilled to further it.

In light of all this, consider today’s propaganda from state flunkies:

“You’re asking for an exemption from the knock on the door at four in the morning. We can’t give you that anymore. Not after October 7.”

Lapid is literally demanding Orthodox Jews join the failed army so they can be killed and their families can be bereaved.

That’s the takeaway from October 7. Not that the entire leadership must be held accountable. Not that the IDF is no longer worthy of our trust and support. That Yeshiva students should be forced to join the army that failed to protect our people — by design — so they can be killed too.

It’s not just fair; it’s their moral duty after October 7.

As far as I know, Lapid hasn’t gotten any knocks on the door at 4 AM.

Here’s what his Wikipedia page says about his own “service”:

Lapid spent most of his mandatory military service in the Israel Defense Forces as a military correspondent for the IDF's weekly newspaper, Bamahane ("In the base camp"). He has given different versions of how he began his service in the IDF before being transferred to Bamahane, alternatively claiming to have begun his service in the Armored Corps until he was transferred after suffering an asthma attack due to a smoke grenade and to have started his service in the Israeli Air Defense Command before being pulled out due to suffering an asthma attack from dust and haze during basic training.

The Zionist establishment sure takes care of their own, even when they can’t get their story straight, then sanctimoniously demands we die for them and their agenda.

Sergeant Major (Res.) Ran Hirschorn, a platoon sergeant in the Karmeli Brigade, passed away unexpectedly after collapsing last week due to a stroke, which was followed by a heart attack.

Ran, who was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and was sedated after the stroke, passed away after extensive efforts by doctors to save his life. He was 32 years old, married, and the father of two. After his death, his family, in accordance with his wishes, decided to donate his organs.

First of all, once again, they can’t get their story straight. He died suddenly of a stroke, but later had a heart attack, and then died in the hospital after “extensive efforts by doctors”, and the organ removal was most definitely not what actually finished him off.

I’m old enough to remember when healthy 32-year-olds didn’t have strokes followed by heart attacks.

If the Erev Rav don’t get them killed in orchestrated suicide missions they have other ways.

Finally, there’s this:

This will be great for the Jews. They couldn’t find anyone else...

Surely just a coincidence.
