 HIR | How the mainstream Jewish leadership failed the Jews in WWII
For example, we may consider that Bergson was the political leader of the Irgun, a Jewish underground army in British Mandate ‘Palestine.’ The ideology of the Irgun was that all Jews were equal, and that the Irgun should represent and defend them all.
The Jewish people was being exterminated; compassion by Jewish leaders towards Hitler's Jewish victims cannot be construed as ‘double loyalty.’ The refusal of these leaders to act, and their sabotage of those who did defend the European Jews, was disloyalty to the Jewish people, and loyalty to the antisemites.
Even if these Jewish leaders were right that they would have been accused of ‘double loyalty’ for defending their European brethren, the right thing to do was still to fight to save Hitler's victims with all their energies.
