That's doubtful.  "The United States remains the largest donor to the United Nations today. In 2025, it was responsible for 22 percent of the UN regular budget, which finances the day-to-day operations of the organization and its primary activities, and approximately 26 percent of the UN peacekeeping budget."   https://www.cfr.org/article/funding-united-nations-what-impact-do-us-contributions-have-un-agencies-and-programs

As I stated in an earlier post, Jewish claims about persecution were disbelieved by governments, organizations and the general public in the 1930s and 1940s.  It's an undisputable fact many governments refused to accept Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.   Below are just a few examples, there are many others.

 

The most notable example was the conference on the International Refugee Problem in Evian, France, in July, 1938.  "Representatives from 32 nations*, plus 39 private organizations, gathered for 8 days of speeches, meetings, and grand displays of good will. More than 200 journalists covered the event. It was a big deal. "
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/refugee-crises-and-the-sad-legacy-of-the-1938-evian-conference/

 

However, nothing came of it.  Only one country- tiny Dominican Republic- agreed to take a substantial number of Jewish refugees.  Many excuses were given by the other nations (https://www.facinghistory.org/resource-library/evian-conference) but the underlying reason was disbelief the Jews faced real danger.

 

Of course, if you prefer to think these nations were convinced Jews faced lethal danger but refused to admit them anyway, that would be the rawest form of antisemitism.  So which was it?  These 31 nations didn't believe the Jews faced elimination at the hands of the Nazis or they did believe but didn't care?

 

"Even efforts by some Americans to rescue children failed. The Wagner-Rogers bill, an effort to admit 20,000 endangered Jewish refugee children, was not supported by the Senate in 1939 and 1940. Widespread racial prejudices among Americans—including antisemitic attitudes held by US State Department officials—played a part in the failure to admit more refugees."

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-evian-conference

 

"In April 1943, Britain and the USA held the "Bermuda Conference" to deal with the issue of wartime refugees, following pressure by Jewish lobbies, but this too proved unproductive. The Americans refused to consider changing their strict immigration quotas to let in more Jewish refugees, while the British refused to consider Palestine as a safe haven for Jewish refugees, and thus nothing was accomplished."  https://www.yadvashem.org/holocaust/this-month/july/1938.html

There was no government that disbelieved the Jews in 1940, apart from Germany, which is rather funny as Israel are the only country that deny war crimes and genocide, oh apart from USA, for said Israel lobby only.

The Israeli navy has intercepted boats carrying aid to Gaza and detained the activists aboard, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.

Israel's Foreign Ministry said several vessels that form part of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) had been "safely stopped" and that those aboard were being transferred to an Israeli port.

I'm on the side of history that defends the right of Jews to have a homeland and to live free of antisemitic oppression.  If that is the wrong side of history for you, there's nothing I could write that would make a difference.

 

The government of Israel and the IDF are no more evil than there counterparts in the U.S. and U.K.  During WWII, the U.S. and U.K.  bombed Germany and Japan intensely, causing hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths,  Churchill and FDR weren't evil, nor were the officers and enlisted men of the British and U.S. armed forces.  They did what they had to to win the war.  It's the same with Netanyahu and the IDF; they do what they have to defeat Hamas and sometimes this causes non-combatant deaths.

 

Yep, proudly supporting genocide and ethnic ckeansing.

When someone else decides who and what gets to enter and leave, is it really their own state?

 

By that definition, the Warsaw Ghetto had their own state, too.  The Nazis left it to the Polish Jews to run things inside the Ghetto.  They just controlled who and what was allowed to enter and leave.


History treats their particular uprising a lot differently.

By comparing the "Warsaw Ghetto" to Gaza shows plainly your support for terrorism.

Since 2005 Gaza ran their own affairs and it is up to any neighboring  state who enters their country for work since Hamas were too busy building tunnels and not any viable infrastructure.  Hamas even built 2 tunnels below the 'Ramallah border crossing with Egypt, why no criticism of their 'Arab' Egyptian brothers who built higher walls than Israel to contain their Arab brothers/sisters.

 

Population of Gaza in 2005 were 1.7m, in 2024 were 2,1m and rising.  Majority is 19yrs or younger.

'Warsaw Ghetto' population from creation to annihilation never rose only fell.

Slowly now.  In the 1930s and early 1940s, many governments, including the U.S., as well as organizations and people, didn't believe Jews faced extermination at the hands of the Nazis and their allies.  That's why Jews attempting to flee  Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe were denied asylum in so many countries. 

After the existence of death camps was established beyond doubt in the final stages of WWII and during the post-war trials,  Jews were believed regarding Nazi oppression.  In my previous post, I gave numerous links to reputable sources that proved governments initially disbelieved Jewish accounts of Nazi atrocities.

\Miriam Adelson is a dual U.S. and Israeli citizen.  She was a major donor to Trump's campaign, but she in no way determines U.S. foreign policy.  She didn't rise to prominence and wealth until she married Sheldon Adelson in 1991 and the U.S. had supported Israel long before that.

The reason the U.S. has backed Israel so strongly is that  during the Cold War the U.S. wanted a reliable ally in the Middle East to help counter the influence of the Soviet Union in the region.  The various U.S. administrations felt they could depend more on Israel than any Arab nation.  After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Israel was seen as a strong force against Iran and other Islamist forces.

No one doubts it was their right, but it was the not  the right thing to do.  Had other countries accepted Jews, hundreds of thousands of Jewish lives could have been saved.  Moreover, I was referring to the situation in the 1930s and early 1940s, not today.  Very few  Jews are seeking asylum in countries other than Israel in 2025.  

 

And Jews have adapted very well when they have emigrated to other countries.  "Jews in the Diaspora have generally been less involved in crime than the populations among which they lived. Their closely knit communities, cohesive family life, high educational standards, moderation in the consumption of alcohol, their solidarity, consciousness of mutual responsibility, and readiness for mutual help are regarded as the main causes for the generally low crime rates among Jews."  https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/crime

 

Studies in the U.S. bear this out,  U.S. Jews have lower crime rates and higher economic standing compared with other religious groups and the general population.

Now the world is flooded with propaganda which is focused on creating the atmosphere to make governments and their citizens around the globe disbelieve the persecution of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

In the 1930s and 1940s the coverup of the horrors of Nazi persecution of Jews could be denied as there was virtually no media coverage, just rumors.  Well, until the Allied troops won the war and then the facts of the horrors became known - the murder of Jews, Slavs, Roma, and those whom the Nazis consider Untermenschen or "sub-human.

In the 2020s, the persecution of Palestinians by the IDF is recorded on smartphones and uploaded to social media in real-time. All the propaganda claiming that there is no persecution of Palestinians is belied by social media posts of the IDF leveling most buildings in Gaza with GBU-28/B bunker buster bombs as well as now loading APCs with thousands of pounds of explosives and driven into building and detonated (https://www.jpost.com/defense-and-tech/article-866041)  The world sees first hand that the IDF goal is to level and ethnically cleanse Gaza.  Ethnic cleansing is called voluntary as the IDF levels every livable building in Gaza including apartment blocks.  Most food and water have been cut off, and when the Israeli government allows food into Gaza, often "settlers" will block the road and the IDF stands down.  There is nothing voluntary about it - it's "leave or die."

All of this and more can be sourced from main-stream news sources as well as by viewing social media accounts of those in Gaza documenting the destruction (persecution) of Palestinians. In the meanwhile journalists are routinely killed with over 189 journalist being targeted and eliminated since Oct 7, 2023, including reporters from Al Jazeera, Reuters, Associated Press, France 24, AFP, Ain Media.  (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp89rp48246o  )

Picture source: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/ng-interactive/2025/sep/01/israel-gaza-war-media-palestinian-journalists-killed-cpj

Why target journalists?  Because they report on inconvenient facts on the ground.
In the meanwhile, Israel and the US are in talks with countries (Ethiopia, Indonesia, Jorden, Libya, South Sudan, and Egypt.) to relocate Palestinians to their countries.  Some countries have denied involvement in relocation talks.  US and Israeli officials deny that ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing.  It's Orwellian.

 

There is broad coverage of in both mainstream media and social media of the persecution of Palestinians today.  The difference.  Both Israeli and US officials will look you in the eye and tell you that the pictures documenting what is happening in Gaza aren't factual.  Leveling Gaza isn't ethnic cleansing, it's called "eliminating terrorists."  The women and children killed are little but collateral damage.

History will be the judge.
