Thread: Germany doing their Nazi thing again

    Default Germany doing their Nazi thing again

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.488acaa3348b

    "BERLIN — Protests against Israel, sparked by President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as its capital, are once again forcing Germany to weigh the value of free speech against the burden of its Nazi past.

    Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have been burning Israeli flags in the center of Berlin while chanting anti-Semitic slogans threatening violence against Israelis. One protest Friday took place only 100 yards from the city’s somber Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a reminder of Germany’s responsibility for the worst mass murder in history."

    I'm sure this doesn't come across as a surprise to many. Germany is quite tolerant of violence against Jews both historically and in recent years.

    "On January 13, 2017, a German regional court ruled that a lower court had been correct to find no anti-Semitism in the attempt by a group of Muslim men to burn down a synagogue in the city of Wuppertal.

    The failed firebombing attack had occurred in 2014, during the Israeli conflict with Hamas in Gaza. In 2015 the lower court found that the men had intended their actions as a protest against Israel—with the result that the adults in the group deserved to have their sentences suspended, freeing them from jail time. And now, after review by a superior court, the German legal system has affirmed that German synagogues are legitimate targets of protest against Israel."

    Is it any wonder that Germany voted against the Jews again with the UN vote. While freely allowing anti-Jew terrorism and arson, voting against Israel every chance it can and seeing ever increasing calls for violence against Jews isn't NEW for Germany it is troubling considering their history.

    I wonder if they will continue on this path or if America needs to make Dresden our bitch again.

    Lewk, stop being a troll. Germany is probably the most pro-Israeli country in Europe. The same action would be perfectly legal in the US. And the US is no less prone to anti-Semitic incidents than Germany.

    We release people from prison because arson and terrorism as a means of protest against Israel is just fine?

    Well Germany is quite aware of the amount of Nazis lurking so they made it illegal to actually display Nazi symbols. Is it to try to curb the appeal of Nazis or to hide it because its embarrassing? The world may never know.

    Actually, my dear, that was a law forced on us by the US.
