Well there's a well-documented historical basis for 
'founding Jewish education on Eretz Israel', isn't there:


Memorandum to the Nazi Party by the ZVfD (Zionistische 
Vereinigung fur Deutschland (Zionist Federation of 
Germany)) on 21 June 1933:

?To attain its practical objectives, Zionism hopes it will 
be able to collaborate with a government that is 
fundamentally hostile to the Jews....The realization of 
Zionism is impeded only by the resentment of Jews from 
without against the present German orientation The 
propaganda in favor of Zionism currently aimed against 
Germany is essentially non-Zionist... should the Germans 
accept the cooperation of the
Zionists, these would try to dissuade Jews abroad from 
supporting the anti-German boycott."

against Jews (1933-1945)" Penguin books.1977. p.231-232.

"Hitler will be forgotten in a few years, but we will have 
a beautiful monument in Palestine. You know, the coming of 
the Nazis was rather a welcome thing...Thousands who 
seemed to be completely lost to Judaism were brought back 
to the fold by Hitler, and for that I am personally very 
grateful to him."

(Emil Ludwig quoted in Lenni Brenner, Zionism in the age 
of the dictators (1983), available from American Education 
Trust (1998) p.59)


Reinhardt Heydrich, Das Schwarze Korps, the official organ 
of the S.S. (1935) "The invisible enemy":

"We must separate the Jews into two categories, the 
Zionists and the partisans of assimilation. The Zionists 
profess a strictly racial concept and, through emigration 
to Palestine, they help to build their own Jewish 
State...our good wishes and our official goodwill go with 
them."

Doucment: "Basic principles of the military 
organization(NMO) in Palestine (Irgun Zevai Leumi) 
concerning the solution of the Jewish question in Europe 
and the active participation of the NMO in the war on the 
side of Germany."

The following are extracts :

It emerges from the speeches of the leaders of the German 
National Socialist State that a radical solution to the 
Jewish question implies an evacuation of the Jewish masses 
from Europe. (Judenreines Europa).

This evacuation of the Jewish masses from Europe is the 
primary condition of the solution of the Jewish problem, 
but it is only made possible by the installation of these 
masses in Palestine, in a Jewish state with its historical 
frontiers.

To resolve the Jewish problem definitively and to liberate 
the Jewish people is the goal of the political activity 
and the long years of struggle of the "Movement for the 
Freedom of Israel" (Lehi) and its national military 
organization in Palestine (Irgun Zevai Leumi).

The NMO, knowing the benevolent position of the Reich 
government towards the Zionist activity within Germany, 
and the Zionist emigration projects, considers that:

1) There could exist common interests between the 
foundation of a new order in Europe, according to the 
German concept, and the genuine aspirations of the Jewish 
people as they are incarnated by the Lehi.

2) Cooperation would be possible between the new Germany 
and a renewed Hebrew nation (Volkish Nationalen 
Hebraertum).

3) The establishment of the historical Jewish State on a 
national and totalitarian base, linked by a treaty to a 
German Reich, could contribute to the reinforcement in the 
future of Germany's position in the Middle East.

On condition that the German government recognizes the 
national aspirations of the 'Movement for the Freedom of 
Israel' (Lehi), the National Military Organization (NMO) 
proposes to participate in the war on the side of Germany.

The cooperation of the Israel liberation movement would go 
in the direction of the recent speeches of the Reich 
chancellor, in which Mr. Hitler stressed that all 
negotiations and any alliance should serve to isolate 
England and to defeat it.

Because of its structure and concept of the world, the NMO 
is narrowly linked to the European totalitarian movements.
