Fun fact: lots of Nazis were Zionist. Their antisemitism included advocating for deporting Jewish people to Palestine and they worked with Zionist organizations to promote what people would now call “voluntary self-deportation”.
Fascilitating that was Eichmanns first job actually.
The deal was the following, if jews migrated out of the Reich they lost all their property within. If they migrated to palestine they received a fraction of the worth of their forfeit property in colonialisation equipment + training.
