| #3 Perhaps the person meant that British antisemitism drove them to refuse to allow Jewish immigration to the British protectorate of Palestine, thus trapping them in Europe and condemning most of them to death. Nor was Britain alone in this; Hitler predicted the world's indifference to his genocidal policies after watching the world's non-response to Turkey's genocide of their Armenians. A sin of omission rather than commission, but a sin nonetheless. The point is legitimate, although it wanted fleshing out a bit to make intelligible to most readers. |

| #2 You're absolutely right, unless you consider turning a blind eye to it for 3 years a form of culpability. U.S. included too. |

| #1 The article was interesting, but it made one major bullshit statement that is so wrong they better change it. "The perception of some of the Israeli right wing is that Britain is pro-Arab, a hostage to Muslim opinion, and also partly responsible for the Holocaust." The first two are absolutely true. Responsibility for the Holocaust? That is unmitigated self centered bullshit. That implies that people making this statement may have read History, but don't understand it. |
