Allies Antisemitism before WWII
Have not been registered of course, German, Italian and Austrian act of antisemitism but also Romanian, Polish and Czech because they were so numerous it was pointless to list them.
Nazism was not limited to Germany but was an International that covered all the white christian world. Even blacks, Muslims and Soviet Union would make strategic alliances with their common enemy.
Everyone should always remember, including the Israelis: The enemy of my enemy is not necessarly my friend.
When the purpose of the enemy is absolute power, no bargains, no treaty will in the end provide you with anything. They are tactical moves of the enemy you must never condone.
The military solution is never the best. But you must always stand up against that kind of enemy.
