    Is there any way to verify that now? My understanding is that Zionists bankrolled the war to accelerate the creation of official state of Israel

      Hell no they didn’t. Hitler and crew didn’t need any help massacring everything that moved, and they were backed by German moneyed interests (you know, the people that stood to gain from his rule), not a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. In the first place, WWII didn’t contribute nearly as much as you’d expect to the creation of Israel; if anything it made the British acquiesce to Palestinian demands to secure their support. WWII was the culmination of European great power politics; besides, interwar Poland was one Zionists’ most important patrons, and its loss almost destroyed the whole project.

      How is that your understanding? What information or sources did you base that on?

      To be frank this theory you are positing is absurd.

      Did a disparate group of people connected by religion have the same influence as the entire modern state of Israel? Absolutely not.

        You are the one linking it to an entire religion. Zionists have long pre-dated Israel and have had significant power. That’s literally why Israel exists!
