Two important matters that we have previously studied and taken action on are relevant background info for “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 & the Final Solution in Poland.”

Accordingly, there follow two sets of review questions with suggested amswers –

***************
A. Two Millennia of The Doctrine of Blood Guilt

Question 1

Was The Doctrine of Blood Guilt promulgated by St. Augustine (354 AD - 430 AD)?

Answer 1

Yes.

Question 2

Does it hold that any Jew alive at any time including the present, is guilty of the “murder” of Christ?

Answer 2

Yes!!!

Question 3

Was St. Augustine’s Doctrine of Blood Guilt based on the Christian Bible account of Christ’s trial before Roman Governor Pontius Pilate (Matthew Ch. 27) in which the Jews in attendance allegedly proclaimed when Pilate tried to release Christ – “His blood be on us, and on our children”?

Answer 3

Yes.

Question 4

Was Augustine not bothered by such niceties as what percentage of the Jewish population actually attended the trial AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT RIGHT ANYONE HAS TO CURSE THEIR OFFSPRING THROUGHOUT AN INFINITE NUMBER OF GENERATIONS?

Answer 4

Incredibly!!!

Question 5

Was Augustine’s Doctrine of Blood Guilt NOT revoked by the Roman Catholic Church until Vatican II in 1965?

Answer 5

Yes!!!

Question 6

Has Augustine’s Doctrine of Blood Guilt been revoked by the Orthodox Church of the Eastern Roman Empire or, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, by any of its resulting fragments (Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, etc., etc.)?

Answer 6

Not that I have been able to discover!!!

Though perhaps each fragment has quietly filed Augustine's Doctrine of Blood Guilt in a "Do Not Open" File!!!

Question 7

Has Augustine’s Doctrine of Blood Guilt caused two millennia of pogroms including Hitler’s pogrom (aka Holocaust)?

Answer 7

Obviously!!!

Question 8

Is there a good historical account of Augustine’s Doctrine of Blood Guilt and its unfortunate ramifications in the famous book "The Anguish of the Jews: Twenty-Three Centuries of Antisemitism" by Fr. Edward Flannery in 1965, published shortly before the promulgation of Nostra Aetate, aka the RCC Revocation of the Doctrine of Blood Guilt (also in 1965)?

Answer 8

Yes.

Question 9

Was the book famous because Fr. Flannery (1912-1998) was, inter alia, the FIRST director of Catholic-Jewish Relations for the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, a position he held from 1967 to 1976?

Answer 9

Yes.

Question 10

With that appointment, were the U.S. RCC Bishops serving penance, however inadequate???

Answer 10

So it would appear!!!

B. The BIG PALESTINIAN LIE Re United Nations Resolution 181

Question 1

Doesn’t THE BIG PALESTINIAN LIE claim that United Nations Resolution 181 of 11/29/1947 “stole” Palestinian land and gave it to the survivors of Hitler’s Holocaust because European nations (most of the UN’s current 193 members were still European colonies in 1947) did not want their Jewish survivors to return to their European homes (the last Nazi concentration camps did NOT close until 1951 – same camps but new management which, at least, turned off the ovens)???

Answer 1

Yes.

Question 2

Isn’t the truth that prior to World War I, the Ottoman Empire (which owned Palestine and the rest of the Middle East for 600 years prior to WW-I) had a policy that EVERYONE, regardless of religion or ethnicity, was welcome to purchase land anywhere in the Ottoman Empire, including Palestine???

Answer 2

Absolutely!!!

Question 3

And didn’t many Jews purchase land in Palestine IAW the policy of the Ottoman Empire???

Answer 3

Absolutely!!!

Question 4

So isn’t the truth that when the United Nations decided in the wake of World War II to terminate Britain’s Palestine “Protectorate” (a sanitary name for their COLONY resulting from their defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War, courtesy of Lawrence of Arabia) it created on 5/15/1947 the United Nations Special Committee On Palestine (aka UNSCOP) whose marching orders were to tabulate who owned what??? And that no major powers were members of UNSCOP???

Answer 4

Yes and Yes.

Question 5

And based on UNSCOP’s report of land ownership, United Nations Resolution 181 of 11/29/1947 declared that Britan’s Palestine “Protectorate” would terminate at midnight on 5/14/1948 TO BE SUCCEEDED BY AN ARAB STATE AND A JEWISH STATE BASED ON LAND OWNERSHIP – EVEN THOUGH EACH OF THE TWO COUNTRIES WOULD RESEMBLE UNCONNECTED SQUARES OF A CHEKERBOARD???

Answer 5

Yes.

Question 6

BTW, didn’t UNSCOP ascertain that there were only 1,077,000 Muslims out of a total population of 1,846,000 – or 58.3%??? Which reflected virtually no Jewish immigration during the British occupation 1918-1947 since the Brits were more interested in Arab crude oil than the survivors of Hitler’s Holocaust???

Answer 6

Yes, only 1,077,000 Muslims, or 58.3%.

And yes, the Brits permitted virtually no Jewish immigration during the British occupation 1918-1947 since the Brits were more interested in Arab crude oil than the survivors of Hitler’s Holocaust.

BTW, the 1960 Hollywood movie “Exodus” starring Paul Newman was a hoax that helps to fuel The Big Palestinian Lie that in 1948 the U.N. stole Palestinian land.

On July 11, 1947, the Exodus sailed from Sète, France loaded with 4,515 European Jewish Holocaust Survivors. It was intercepted by the British Royal Navy (1) in violation of international law because it occurred on the high seas, and (2) with loss of life including some Americans among the crew. It was escorted to Cyprus where the 4,515 European Jewish Holocaust Survivors were imprisoned briefly. The movie falsely shows the 4,515 European Jewish Holocaust Survivors (which the movie says numbered only 611), making a daring escape from the British prison back to the Exodus, and engaging in a hunger strike that forced the Brits to permit the Exodus and its human cargo to sail to Haifa. There was no escape or hunger strike in Cyprus. The Brits did sail Exodus to Haifa, where the Brits re-loaded the 4,515 European Jewish Holocaust Survivors onto three more sea-worthy vessels. The Brits then sent the 4,515 human cargo back to France. It was at Port-de-Bouc near Marseilles that on August 2, 1947, the 4,515 European Jewish Holocaust Survivors refused to disembark and engaged in their 24-hour hunger strike. In response, the French refused to force them to disembark. So the Brits sailed them to Hamburg located in the British occupation zone of Germany, from which the Brits transported the 4,515 European Jewish Holocaust Survivors to be imprisoned in the Pöppendorf Concentration Camp at Lübeck, Germany which was also in the British occupation zone.

Question 7

Didn’t Israel accept Resolution 181 on the basis of which it declared its independence on 5/14/1948 – and was immediately invaded by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon???

Answer 7

Yes.

Question 8

Wasn’t the 1948 War for Independence the first of 4-5 FAILED “Two State Solutions” over the last 78 years (including the 2005 withdrawal from Gaza which, technically, was a "1.5 State Solution") -- because Palestinians have never accepted Israel's RIGHT TO EXIST???

Answer 8

Yes!!!

Question 9

And when those university professors coach their students to chant “From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, Palestine Will Be ‘Free’” – aren’t they calling for the perennial goal of Palestinians to THROW ISREALIS INTO THE SEA WITHOUT EVEN REIMBURSING THE ISRAELIS FOR WHAT THEIR ANCESTORS PAID THE PALESTINIANS’ ANCESTORS FOR THE LAND???

Answer 9

Incredibly!!!
