Abstract: Teveth thoroughly dismantles the theory of Ben-Gurion's complicity in the Holocaust. He argues that, despite the pleas of Zionist leaders, the American and British governments refused to attempt the rescue of European Jews or the aerial bombing of nazi death camps, mainly for fear of mass jewish immigration to the United States, England, and Palestine.
