31. Re #14 How many?
Andrew Brehm   (10.14.10)
Judging by election results, very very few.
32. Don't believe any statistic you yourself haven't forged
Dimitri ,   Freiburg, Germany   (10.14.10)
Oh, I love statistics! The most important thing is to omit the most important facts: 17% of anti-Semitic prejudices is more or less the lowest value among the European or Western countries. Again important is the fact that it is unchanged for decades (in the last years it actually was somewhere around 18%) and the sociologists agree that it is almost impossible to get it lower. With other words: in spite of the victories of the German neo-Nazi Paty NPD etc. the Germans remain anti anti-Semites. :) But let's stop thinking, it is destructive for our ignorance and prejudices. ;)
33. Full report
Igor ,   Germany   (10.14.10)
The report has been commissioned by the social democrats, who are traditionally pro-foreigners and anti-Israel. Therefore, I suppose the general racism/xenophobia are less dramatic than the report says, but anti-Semitism is probably higher (they certainly don't count anti-Zionism as an expression of anti-Semitism). But an interesting point is to see WHO is most anti-Semitic: It's Turkish and Arab immigrants! For those of you who read German, here is the full report: http://www.kfn.de/versions/kfn/assets/fob109.pdf

Oh boy, this is juicy: 1. While liberals like you seem to think it's OK to equate Jews with the actions of Israel, you scream and cry when people don't like Muslims based on the vast number of deaths Islam causes in dozens of countries (far more deaths than those caused by the evil Joooz). You can't associate European Jews to the evils of Israel and then say we can't associate European Muslims to al-Qaeda. It's called hypocrisy. 2. Please elaborate on "all Arabic-Muslim people", because surely you can't mean the 1 billion muslims in the middle-east. Israel's beef is with the Palestinians and any non-Palestinian Arab aggressor (Hezbollah). Look at a map. 3. Please describe what you know about Talmudic Judaism...other than what you read on stormfront. There is no idea of Jewish supremacy, despite what you want to make up. It's time you realize that PEOPLE MAKE UP PURE LIES about Jews. And obviously people like you are willing to believe the lies without doing any independent thinking. 4. I can't believe, in this day and age of the internet, that people can't look at an online Hebrew dictionary and lookup the definition of "goy" (http://www.babylon.com/definition/גוי/English). Who are you people that insist is means "cattle" (because I've seen this ludicrous statement many times)? Are you seriously stupid? Better yet, go to a bookstore, and in the "foreign dictionaries" section, look up גוי. It means "a nation, a people". It has come to refer to non-Jewish nations/people. So quit this "jews think we're all cattle and spit on us" crap. It's bull and you know it.
38. Sadly, Islam is making this inevitable.

German Nazism, Italian fascism, etc. have nothing to do with right or conservative right. This a product of leftism which could extreme or just left: leninism, trotzkism. maoism, national-socialism - all their agendas are mostly the same and methods are pretty much too. First learn. And you are correct that Germans voted for left and extreme left - a state will take care of everything. To start education: Jonah Goldberg:" Liberal Fascism - from Mussolini to the politics of meanining".
40. Forget it!
Rahel ,   Suarez   (10.16.10)
How would you react if your children come home from school and are telling you that they were insulted as Jews there, that being a Jew is ugly.......and all this in an Israeli school?!? Do not come up with this n- word, I am Jewish, living in Germany and seeing the reality! We are not insulted by the christians but by the muslims here!
41. Imagine...
Rahel Suarez ,   Frankfurt, Germany   (10.16.10)
Germany is a country of immigration as Israel is but there is one difference: people who are coming to IL have the same religious background and the same values, and they are coming because they feel at home in IL. They get well integrated because of all the programms that the administration offers.Germany lets people in with a completely different religious and cultural background but, and this is the problem, there was nothing like a substantial integration programm during the recent decades. Germany has not linked any conditions to immigration as other countries did, like exams and the requirement to learn the local language. Now they are facing the situation that there are children who are still not able to speak German when they start in school, even when their parents were born here. Muslim women who are lucky enough to have a well integrated family are studying and make a career, and as a result they are not "muslim enough" anymore for the men that are looking for a bride uproad then. Those are raising their children in their mother tongue and under their own muslim values with the result that we have a group here now, that is proclaiming the Sharia instead of standing behind the German constituion which is garanteeing the freedom of each single one. The administration is more and more sensitized for the matters of the muslim culture with strange results: 1. Many schools provide different lunch meals for the pupils, normal and halal. In one school a muslim kid asked the teacher if the meat he had on his plate was pork, the teacher was not sure about it and told him so. The muslim parents became furious with the result that the teacher was fired and there will be only served halal food in the school in the future - for all pupils. 2. A catholic friend told me that there were some muslims who sent their kids to the same catholic kindergarden where his boy was. When it came up to decorate a christmas tree the muslim parents sent in a petition that they do not want any christian celebrations and rites in this kindergarden. So why do they send their kids to a clearly defined catholic kindergarden? Imagine, if it was allowed for muslims to learn in a Yeshiva in Israel and they would complain about the Sukah that is build up in the garden, how would we react? 3. We are sending our kids to privat schools,some of us only did, after the kids where insulted as Jews by muslims in their public school. You really have to recalculate your income and your expenses then, that you can afford a privat school for your kids, that takes in the average 13,000 Eur a year per child. And more and more christian Germans do so as well, with the result that there are public schools in the big cities where you have a muslim majority and where the phrase "you christian" has become an insult and where girls and female teachers(!) are terrorized because they do not wear headscarves. Imagine, that the phrase "You Jew!" would become an insult in Israeli schools! How would Israeli parents react? 4. My muslim friends are well integrated, doctors and lawyers, and they are really concerned about muslims that do not want to integrate. We have demonstrations by muslims in Europe that are asking for the death of those who insult islam (http://www.henryk-broder.de/foto_des_tages/bobbies.html). Imagine this picture in the streets of T"A, how would we react? 5. There was also a poll in Germany where kids and teenagers where asked. The result was, and the German authorities were not happy about as we are all living in a nice Multi-Kulti-Society, the more religious Jewish and christian kids and are, the more peacefull are they. But muslim kids were more and more ready for violence the more religious they were.
