Reneging On A Deal
At first Hitler wanted the Jews to leave, “For all I care, on luxury liners.” But no one wanted them.

World leaders met at the French resort town of Evian, source of the famous mineral water, in 1938. Delegates drank water. Delegates passed water. But delegates did nothing else.
.
With minimal exceptions, no nation would accept Jewish refugees. Only then did Hitler decide on the Final Solution.

The re-establishment of Israel after World War II and the Holocaust is a direct result of the Evian Conference. The world promised that never again would Jews die by the millions because they had nowhere to go.
.
The world appears to be reneging on the deal. People who renege on a deal deserve our contempt.
