German Opposition Leader (and possible successor to Merkel): Israel = Apartheid-Regime
2012-03-15
Facebook post by German leader of the opposition Sigmar Gabriel (who is currently visiting Israel):
"Sigmar Gabriel, SPD
Ich war gerade in Hebron. Das ist für Palästinenser ein rechtsfreier Raum. Das ist ein Apartheid-Regime, für das es keinerlei Rechtfertigung gibt."
Google's translation:
"I was in Hebron. This is a legal vacuum for Palestinians. This is an apartheid regime, for which there is no justification."
My translation:
"I've just now visited Hebron. For Palestinians this is a space where they enjoy no legal protection/rights. This is an Apartheid regime for which there is no justification whatsoever."
Perhaps Mr Gabriel is sorry the Juice didn't learn their lesson from the Hebron Massacre.
Apparently not one of his party's heavier thinkers, he spent a number of years as SPD's "Representative for Pop Culture and Pop Discourse".

Germany is not really judenrein. There are thriving jewish communties in several German cities. However, the jewish population is only about 0.2% compared to the 4.0% of the country that is moslem.

and thus for a politician with no honesty who wants to be elected, it makes sense to appeal to the moslems

#4  Apparently he's never driven through an "apartheid regime" in his own country - housing projects where "asylum seekers" (illegal immigrants) live, at taxpayer expense, while awaiting approval of their applications. Pleasant little neighborhoods, until the Paleos moved in. Everywhere they go, they turn it into a slum. Germany remains pretty much Judenrein, so whose fault is it?

#3  It is true that Gabriel spent some time in the wilderness when he was demoted to Pop Culture rep.

However he is a professional politician, the archetypical 'sleazy politician.'

He's the leader of the Social Democratic Party now, no back-bencher, and this was a calculated escalation in the German political establishment's anti-Israel rhetoric.

#1  Well, not only are the Nords acting stupid, but now the KRAUTS have decided to join the "kill the juice" band wagon AGAIN?

I think I know what to do with the nuclear stockpile if I hear this steaming shit from Germany again.

Not three Germany's are worth one Israel. Remember that and do not forget I was on German soil for four year protecting you assholes that started two world wars from the Russians.

Fuck you Germany. Just fuck you. And fuck the Nords too.
