Several well-established American companies aided Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, directly profiting from the atrocities perpetrated against the Jewish People. These include well-known businesses like IBM, which supplied data processing systems to the Nazi regime, and Ford, whose German subsidiary produced military vehicles for the Wehrmacht. The majority of individuals involved in the decision to do business with Nazi Germany were motivated by greed rather than anti-semitism. The question remains whether or not these corporations should continue to be held responsible today for the role they played in the murder of Jews during World War II.

We’re talking about the Altalena affair. This event, which has gone down in infamy and the effects of which still reverberate through Israeli society to this day, pitted two of Israel’s greatest leaders - David Ben Gurion and Menachem Begin - against each other in a power struggle the likes of which had never been seen before. Once it was over, both sides would bury their dead, the Israeli army would finally be unified and Israeli society would be left asking important questions about the very fabric of its being. This is a story that could so easily have ended differently. But could it - and should it - have been avoided altogether. Did the affair strengthen Israeli society, or did it bring about divisions that remain today? Could Israel descend into civil war again? Let us know what you think about the Altalena affair in the comments below.
