Declassified Files Expose Pre-State Zionist Groups' Alleged Nazi Contacts
Declassified Israeli files allegedly show pre-state Zionist militias, specifically naming Lehi's Yair Stern, attempting alliances with Nazi Germany during World War II.
The prevailing sentiment among commentators is that the core claims—Zionist cooperation with fascist powers like the Nazis and Italians—are recycled, well-known history. Users like 'radio_free_asgarthr' cite precedents, mentioning Jabotinsky and Eichmann's discussions, while 'Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt' told users to search for prior coverage. A more extreme thread saw 'JustSo' advancing a claim that the entire 'Zionist project' operates on white supremacist logic.
Ultimately, the consensus is that the revelation of the *material* is not news; the controversy hinges solely on the *act* of declassification. The division remains between those who view the release itself as the key event and those who dismiss the content as stale history.
