The Nazis used these councils to facilitate their plans to annihilate the Jews and these councils comprised the elders and prominent men of stature in the community. These people were tasked with compiling lists of all the Jews in their community of which they had extensive knowledge and all information pertaining to the people on their lists such as their worldly assets.
In addition the councils were tasked with conveying and helping to enforce the Nazi decrees pertaining to the Jews, even supporting the myth that transportation to the ghettoes was a benign measure.
So, which Jews agreed to serve on these councils knowing full well that they merely served to do their masters’ bidding? They knew that they were facilitating the transfer of their own to the indescribably foul conditions of the ghetto and, from the ghetto, to their deaths.
Surely, any self-respecting person would refuse to serve such a purpose? Those who agreed to serve, fell into three broad categories, namely 1: Those who did it out of fear for themselves and their family; 2: Those who enjoyed the sense of authority provided by their office; 3: Those who felt that they might be able to ameliorate the conditions of their brethren and, perhaps, even save some Jews from their ultimate fate.
To their credit, some pitifully few were saved by their efforts. Unfortunately it is no secret that some six million Jews, including members of the Judenratte, went up in smoke. Perhaps some, maybe more than those saved by the compassionate of the Judenratte, would have escaped, had they not been on the lists compiled by those selfsame Judenratte.
Compare this with a not inconsiderable number of Jewish lives saved by non-Jewish Frenchmen who obstructed the compilation of lists when requested by the Nazis.
So, why would I call this “the modern-day Judenratte”? Those Jews who are active supporters of movements such as BDS, JFJP, Open Shuhada Street, Not in My Name and all the other like-minded movements, have been (incorrectly) called Nazis, traitors, self-haters and the like.
It is my opinion that the correct appellation is that of members of the modern-day Judenratte (irrespective into whatever category they may fall) and you may, correctly, deduce who are the real Nazis seeking the annihilation of the Jews.
Am I being too extreme in my interpretation of the aspirations of the Jihadists? I think not. Just consider the frightening rise of anti-Semitism throughout most of the world. And consider this: the Jihadists deny their anti-Semitism, citing the many Judenrat members of their associations.

‘What makes these leftist diaspora Jews think that their lives are so much more important than that of Jews in Israel.
I
think it is high time that we dealt with, and stopped tolerating, Jews
who turn on their own people, i.e. Left-wing anti-Zionist, anti-Israel
Jews. What these leftist anti-Zionists are practising is a form of
racism against Israeli Jews. The fact that they are born Jewish does not
excuse this violent and revolting racism.
These self-hating Jews
do incalculable damage to the struggle of Israel to survive, and they
encourage Arab terror. They are completely heartless, lacking any
compassion for Jewish women and children murdered by the Palestinian
terrorists in Israel.
It is time we exposed and isolated these
despicable Judenrat Kapos. They should be completely isolated from the
Jewish communities in every country in which they are found.
How
can human beings , let alone Jews, show solidarity with the perpetrators
of the murder carried out by the PLO and Hamas and their positions?
How
can they have anything positive to say of those monsters who can calmly
assemble a device designed to mutilate the bodies of children , and
destroy countless human lives?
I cannot and will not keep company
with those who make common cause with modern-day Arab Nazis who shoot a
pregnant Jewish woman at point blank range before executing her four
terrified small daughters.
I shall always shun those who show any
acceptance of the perpetrators of such atrocities and will continue to
condemmn those whose twisted ideas suggest any equivocation of Israel’s
self-defence with brutal Arab terror.
Seriously , I pray that all Israel-haters and anti-Zionists burn in hell forever.’

‘The real Nazi’s are \”you know who\”. Believe it or not. Europe is finding out quickly. The jihadists do it with the blessing of \”you know who\”. They are encouraged by their communities who do nothing to prevent terror and death. ‘

‘One of the most unfortunate developments in the exile was the loathsome moser (informer), the negative counterpart of the shtadlan (intercessor) who intercedes with the authorities who speak for the Jews to those in power. \”The Jewish community was always hostage to it’s unhappiest members who stood to gain by serving the powers that be
