Merkel: Ongoing need to protect Jewish institutions ‘a disgrace’
2018-01-28
[IsraelTimes] On Holocaust Remembrance Day, German leader warns of rising anti-Semitism in country, calls to create position of anti-Semitism commissioner.
Apparently it was Holocaust Remembrance Day, explaining the startling number of pious speeches recently reported about the Jews, including former president Obama’s extraordinary claim that he is basically a liberal Jew. But Frau Merkel’s oration raises the bar on lacking self-awareness.

#11  It can be strongly refraised without to much of a stretch.

Merkel: a disgrace. She has turned her nation over to the barbarian hordes. It's almost like she's a Minnesota Democrat.

#10  In many smaller communities in Western Germany, there are now effectively no Jews as well. My grandmother’s home village in Lower Saxony, which has a street named after one of her cousins, contained in 2010 when we visited precisely one living Jew, a convert who traveled to the nearest big city once a month to go to services at the synagogue there. Her boyfriend, who was not Jewish, did not understand why she chose this path she was not born to, and was not supportive. I wonder if she subsequently found a job in that city and moved there, as the younger generation of mostly Russian-German Jews from my mother’s home city of Hildesheim had been doing for years (along with their non-Jewish neighbours). The head of the very active and government-supported Jewish community there anticipated extinction in another generation.

The fact that Hildesheim was becoming a center of jihad-supporting Salafists was not then known, I think.

#9  ...She's not entirely sure how to handle it, because there effectively weren't any Jews in the DDR.

#7  At least this time the police didn't actively support the anti-Israel mob.

I’d forgotten about that incident, Elmerert Hupens2660.

#5  War is politics by other means.

Importing millions of Muslims is a 'final solution' by other means.

Just altering the means of accomplishing the same goal. The Pontius Pilate gambit.

#4  Nice little Jewish Institutions you have there. It is a disgrace that your basic physical security depends on the constant active goodwill shown to you by Germany's political leadership.

And you better remember that your basic physical security depends on the constant active goodwill shown to you by Germany's political leadership.

Israeli flags were burned in Berlin in December to protest the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.

At least this time the police didn't actively support the anti-Israel mob.

#3  Yes, it is. Any idea what you might do to fix it?

The traditional German way: no Jews, no Antisemitism.
