In 1943, Joseph Goebbels wrote an article titled “The War and the Jews."

The arguments he makes in it justifying the nazi genocide of the Jews are identical to the arguments the zionists make today justifying the zionist genocide of the Palestinians.

🧵with some examples.

"The Jews are our destruction. They started this war and direct it. They want to destroy the German Reich and our people. This plan must be blocked."

"The Jews are to blame for each German soldier who falls in this war. They have him on their conscience, and must also pay for it."

"The Jews are responsible for the war. The treatment they receive from us is hardly unjust. They have deserved it all."

"The Jews enjoy the protection of our enemies. That is all the proof we need to show how harmful they are for our people."

"They knew the good-natured German Michel in us, always ready to shed sentimental tears for the injustice done to them. One suddenly has the impression that the Berlin Jewish population consists only of little babies whose childish

helplessness might move us, or else fragile old ladies. The Jews send out the pitiable. They may confuse some harmless souls for a while, but not us. We know exactly what the situation is."

"They will never give us rest. If they could, they would drive one nation after another into war against us."

"Don't be too good natured, since our enemies are not noble enough to overlook our mistakes.If this advice applies anywhere, it apples to our relations with the Jews. Carelessness here is not only a weakness, it is disregard of duty

and a crime against the security of the state. The Jews long for one thing: to reward our foolishness with bloodshed and terror. It must never come to that. One of the most effective defenses is an unforgiving, cold hardness against the destroyers of our people,

against the instigators of the war, against those who would benefit if we lose, and therefore also against the victims, if we win."

Slight correction, the above tweets are from Joseph Goebbels' 1941 article, titled “The Jews are Guilty!”

The following tweets are examples from Goebbels' "The War and the Jews."

"The naivete, not to mention ignorance, with which certain European circles see the Jewish Question in the fourth year of this gigantic struggle is astonishing.
quote cont.

They cannot or will not see that this war is a war of the Jewish race and its subject people against Western culture and civilization. Everything that we Germans and Europeans, defenders of the principle of a moral world order, hold dear is at risk."

"Our state's security requires that we take whatever measures seem necessary to protect the German community from their threat. That leads to some difficult decisions, but they are unavoidable if we are to deal with the threat.
quote cont.

This war is a racial war. The Jews started it and they direct it. Their goal to destroy and exterminate our people."

"When dealing with the Jews there are only two choices: to surrender to them or to fight them. We have chosen the latter. As our enemy attacks without mercy, so do we. The future will prove who is right."

"There is nothing that they would not do to us if they had the power. We cannot therefore give them even the slightest bit of power. More than that, it is our duty to tell the world of their nature and their depravity.

We must again and again prove their sick role in beginning and carry on this war."

"The Jews laughed in Germany too when they first saw us. They are not laughing any longer. They chose to wage war against us. But that war is turning against them. When they planned a war to totally destroy the German nation, they signed their own death warrant."

For clarity: the extended spaces in some of the tweets are due to an unintentional issue with formatting while copy+pasting, not due to alteration of the quotes in any way.
