If so, why did it send Jewish refugees back to Europe to die?

Wraeth, what is your source please? I know that Cuba turned them back fearing they were communist (irony huh?) but then the US truned them away from Miami, and then to add insult to injury they let the Wagner-Rogers bill die which could have saved 20000.
Your source please?

Gal From The Yellow Flat:
"The President did not answer a telegram from the passengers.
Now what does that have to do with Christianity?"
This was after Kristallnacht. The president of a self-proclaimed Christian country willingly ignored pleas for safe harbour and asylum, and turned them back.
Franklin Roosevelt, an Episcopalian, once slandered atheistm by saying:
"Selfishness is the only real atheism; aspiration, unselfishness, the only real religion. "
Yet he was the one that refused to answer the Jews when they begged for his help.

First, you kind folks are confusing Christianity with Christendom.
As a Christian I follow the words of Jesus.
When Jesus was asked by a scholar what was the most important commandment His answer is found in Luke 10:26-28.
Please notice the scripture does not mention a particular type of neighbor or race or religion it just said "neighbor" Christians realize that Jews didn't kill Jesus, Satan killed Jesus.
The Jews were the foundation of the Christian church. Paul Peter,James, John, Mark and others who penned the Gospel were Jews.
How can you hate someone that showed you how to understand the Creator?
Naw, it's Christendom you're referring to.
That so called branch that claims to follow Jesus but blesses bombs and sanctions wars.The branch that speaks on the sanctity of life but supports the death penalty (the rest of the scripture said "vengeance is mine said the Lord"
As far as The USA goes, there has always been a thin veneer of Christianity because it helps to ease the conscience if one tells them self that God is on their side.
But the proof is in the pudding.
You can tell a true Christian by what they do not who they claim to be.

That was Cuba, not America
Ms. Rahi
So I am a Moron by answering the question based on evidence provided? The article is about Refugees bound for Cuba, and the inherent distrust and political corruption in Cuba at that time. The only reference to America is about Newspaper Articles that apparently were mostly sympathetic to the Refugees plight. Maybe next time you can think before judging others.

If you read the entire article, you would read that it was Cuba that refused to admit the passengers to their country. The ship was not bound for the United States, and most of the passengers did not have visas for the United States.
The government didn't allow the passengers to come to the United States because of immigration quotas. The President did not answer a telegram from the passengers.
Now what does that have to do with Christianity?

Did some moron really just post
"that was cuba, not america" ?
If you're going to answer on behalf of your history, at least KNOW your history.
The US put a moratorium on all Jewish immigration.
The young american men fighting WW II were NOT there to save Jews. Most of them had no idea what was going on in the camps until the end, when the camps were 'liberated' just a bit too late.

nicely we are criticized as quickly as we contain ourselves everywhere interior the international so why could we? I say we end Iraq then pull out of the international,no distant places help, no protection rigidity help,no nutrition help no not something. If Iran nukes France the french can cope with it and if the folk interior the Sudan are being killed enable them to handle it, otherwise we can in basic terms help yet another team of folk in basic terms to be criticized for it if it would not pop out suited. And what appropriate to the UN why can not they cope with it,we supply them billions each twelve months enable them to handle it. of course the Sudanese human beings being murdered can not do something by using fact Amnesty international advises against arming victims of a genocide by using fact it makes for a quote unpredictable factor,and the UN in basic terms presently made a decision that reported that self protection isn't a user-friendly human authentic,so it feels like the folk in Sudan are screwed.

Back in 1937. I would say that christianity had a greater presence back then than it does today. Today, it much more acceptable to be of a different religion or to even have no religion at all that back then. Heck, 10% of the US population has a religion of "none" today.

Christians hate Jews. Where have you been for the past 2000 years?
People are so delusional. They think their religion is absolutely perfect and free of corruption. Wake up and smell the holocaust.
