Philosopher, Pure Yiddishkeit, and Chaim87 – Everyone writes their own history after the fact, especially when facing trial and possible consequences for their actions. So I would take anything Kastner and Verba said with enough salt to kasher a pig, but I wouldn’t throw ALL the blame on Kastner either. The official Satmar account of the Kastner episode in ?????? ?? ????? is actually more nuanced. The worst offenders were actually creatures like Yitzchok Greenbaum of ‘Mapam’ who openly said “one cow in Palestine is worth more than all the old Rabbis in Europe” ????. There WERE in fact real opportunities to save Jews, especially in Hungary when the Nazis were already desperate, mostly through the efforts of Frum [and Revisionist Zionist] people, but the Labor Zionists and American Reform, who held the purse strings, refused to do almost anything.
But, as Yankel Berel has correctly pointed out, none of this has anything whatsoever to do with the current war.
