Zionists partnering with Nazis/Antisemites have been well known. I don't know that the Stern Gang in particular directly reaching out was as well known. But Jabotinsky working with antisemitic Polish fascists was known at the time. And even at the Eichmann trial there was a really awkward point where Eichmann explained that he got a job in the SS because he was so enamored with Zionism that he learned to read Yiddish to read Zionist newspapers, so his proposition to the SS was that he was an antisemitic Christian Aryan that knew the "language of the Jews". Also similarly, more documents were released last year revealing about how much Eichmann traveled to the British Mandate of Palestine to meet with the Haganah to discuss the logistics on how the Third Reich could smuggle weapons to them.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Shamelessly linking my post from last year about Theodor Herzl: https://hexbear.net/post/6892956
Never underestimate the antisemitism of the zionist project.
The zionists themselves would have personally killed every last non-European Jew themselves if they could have figured out how.
That's not an exaggeration.
The hope was to work them to death in concentration camps after tricking them into coming to Israel as the first settlers.
If they weren't allowed a Zionist state, those undesirable Jews would have to be exterminated more directly so good white Jews like Herzl could integrate better.
They were they were white supremacists who hated "lesser" Jews and Israel still operates on that logic today.
None of this is new. Google "a nazi goes to Palestine". I remember reading this on the old sub /cth
For some reason I thought the Stern Gang seeking alliance with Nazi Germany was a known fact for years. Maybe it was an open secret of sorts?
Yep, I'd first heard about them maybe 20+ years ago. I believe the actual news here is that certain documents pertaining to that group have now been 'declassified.'
Same.
I was expecting this to be about some fresh new type of zionist fuckery.
This isn't news. This is genuinely olds. We've known this for a while. We also know that they tried to ally with the italians
