Benjamin H Freedman 1961: The United States was not in the war at that time. We were fresh; we were young;
we were rich; we were powerful. They [Zionists] told England: “We will guarantee to
bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you
will promise us Palestine after you win the war.”
In other words, they made this deal: “We will get the United States into this war as
your ally. The price you must pay us is Palestine after you have won the war and
defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey.”
Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United
States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever. It's
absolutely absurd that Great Britain — that never had any connection or any interest or
any right in what is known as Palestine — should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the
Zionists for bringing the United States into the war.
However, they made that promise, in October of 1916. October, nineteen hundred
and sixteen. And shortly after that — I don't know how many here remember it — the
United States, which was almost totally pro-German — totally pro-German — because
the newspapers here were controlled by Jews, the bankers were Jews, all the media of
mass communications in this country were controlled by Jews, and they were proGerman because their people, in the majority of cases came from Germany, and they
wanted to see Germany lick the Czar.
The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this war. So the
German bankers — the German-Jews — Kuhn Loeb and the other big banking firms in
the United States refused to finance France or England to the extent of one dollar.
They stood aside and they said: “As long as France and England are tied up with
Russia, not one cent!” But they poured money into Germany, they fought with
Germany against Russia, trying to lick the Czarist regime.
Now those same Jews, when they saw the possibility of getting Palestine, they went
to England and they made this deal. At that time, everything changed, like the traffic
light that changes from red to green. Where the newspapers had been all pro-German,
where they'd been telling the people of the difficulties that Germany was having
fighting Great Britain commercially and in other respects, all of a sudden the Germans
were no good. They were villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross
nurses. They were cutting off babies' hands. And they were no good.
Well, shortly after that, Mr. Wilson declared war on Germany.
