The argument that Feingold put forward

He argued that there were many situations that occurred that were beyond the capacity of Roosevelt's administration. These were

• The determination to liquidate Jews by Berlin.
• The decision to rescue a minority in a foreign land that the US did not owe any responsibility.

The argument that Heuvel put forward

Heuvel sternly said that it was ironic to put any blames on Roosevelt because he was not the one that caused the holocaust.

According to him, no one had any backgrounds to fault him for what was being done by Hitler because he was not the cause.

2. What Michael meant was that it was not a common occurrence for the president to be silent on issues that are as pressing as this.
