Thanks again for this, Librarian. Always useful to have a timeline, even with some questions.
I know you're not addressing the Holocaust, but I wondered if you knew the source for this:
"1942 On 20 January, a plan for the annihilation of Europe’s Jews was finalized by the German Government at Wannsee, just outside Berlin. Over the next three years, some 6 million Jews were systematically and ruthlessly killed in extermination camps throughout Europe. On 11 May, an extraordinary conference of American Zionists at the Biltmore Hotel in New York City passes a resolution calling for the whole of Palestine to be established as a Jewish commonwealth."
I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that no document has ever been presented that shows Hitler gave orders for or was aware of any plan for the extermination of European Jews. I know this with certainty because Deborah Lipstadt's $13M defense team of lawyers only needed to produce it to defeat David Irving's libel suit. They never did and were reduced to very flimsy and contradictory evidence like coded language even though he was talking about a resettlement of Jews in Madagascar and deferring the question until after the war. Was Hitler at that meeting? Was that plan documented?
I have not finished reading the Kattan book where this came from. The three focuses of the book are the Jewish point of view, the Arab point of view and the British point of view, and their respective actions. The League of Nations and United Nations are also mentioned. There are 100's of references, but he is not talking about Germany or the specific instances of European anti-Semitism, (except in Britain).
It's curious the way he wrote the entry for 1942. He starts with Jan 20 in Wannsee. Then he jumps ahead to the end of the next three years. Then he jumps back to May 11, 1942.
He's inserting the narrative of 6M "systematically and ruthlessly killed in extermination camps" as a justification for the Jewish commonwealth, but that hasn't happened yet, if it happens at all--where I know we disagree.
What it shows is that this narrative is needed to justify the May 11th "extraordinary conference of American Zionists." Without "a plan for the annihilation of Europe’s Jews," the Resolution is a clear intent of international aggression, an organized plot to enact either expulsion or genocide against the residents of an entire country.
