#4 A foreign ministry spokesman, Jens Ploetner, told reporters that Germany had made clear that as the country responsible for the Nazis' crimes it found any statements questioning Israel's right to exist or the fact of the Holocaust to be "shocking" and "unacceptable".

Which certainly gives Germany the edge over Japan in coming to terms with its past and not indulging in any revisionism.

"We condemn any attempt, in the past or in the future, to give a forum to those who relativise or question the Holocaust," he told a regular government news conference. Germany "bears a unique responsibility toward the victims of the Nazis, in particular the victims of the Holocaust," he added.

Then what the fuck are you doing participating with the UNFIL forces in Lebanon. One might easily consider that an unacceptable degree of collaboration with those who seek to perpetuate the Holocaust.

Kofi Annan said this week that he would deplore
