25. Most of what you've written here is inaccurate.

The governments of the world didn't set aside a tiny sliver of land as a Jewish homeland because they felt guilty or wanted to make amends.

If they felt that way, they would have opened their own countries to Jewish refugees. They didn't. It's taken 75 years and Jewish people are still trying to get back the money, art, and other belongings that were stolen from them by the Nazis and stashed in countries you're portraying as feeling guilt.

Jews were being massacred in the Middle East and had been wiped out in Europe. Half the population of an already tiny number of people were wiped out. And most of the world did not care.

Also I'm giving side eye to your comment about "true and fiction." What parts do you think are fiction?
