ben ,   israel   (05.16.11)
britain 3 germany 0 yes I think you are right ghostq. As Wittgenstein lamented after joining the Austro Hungarian army in WW1 ...''the central powers will lose because the British race is the greatest race that ever walked the earth''. He shifted to Britain after the war.

tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (05.16.11)
"Arab revolutionaries from Palestine" and Sudeten Germans, inspiring a regional violence much before 1948. The influence of Amin Al Husseini, Palestinian Hitler's collaborator is intentionally underplaid as marginal. However Prof. Eduard Said wrote that Husseini's vews were very popular, actually he was a Palestinian vox populi durind WW2. Let alone Hitler"s love admiration for Islam.

If the management of Deutsche Bahn was anti-Semitic they would never even have started said cooperation. I don't like that they bowed to the Palestinian pressure. After all it's a private company. It's not their task to help anybody's political agenda (neither Israels nor the Palestinians). However if they fear getting entangled in an unclear situation of international law I can understand them backing down. It's not brave – but it doesn't make them Nazis either. And as for the rest of us Germans: If we're all still (or again or whatever...) such anti-Semites – why did we just just see public celebrations of the Israeli national holiday in more than 50 German cities and towns? Why do German citizens wave Israeli flags in counter-demonstrations when Islamic extremists gather in our streets?
