President Truman – 1947
Had ten minutes conversation with Henry Morgenthau about Jewish ship in Palestine. He had no business, whatever to call me. Henry brought a thousand Jews to New York on a supposedly temporary basis and they stayed. The Jews have no sense of proportion nor do they have any judgement on world affairs. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as DP as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political neither H!tler nor Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the under dog.
President Truman was very angry because the Jews were calling him on the phone to ask him to allow 10,000 European Jews to enter America. At that time, Truman was forcing the Arabs to allow 100,000 European Jews to enter Palestine.
