31. Strike down the Nazi's no mercy
Dany ,   Amsterdam NL   (01.25.12)
I do not care if they are European they did already huge damages during the period 1933-1945 not only to Jews. If Germany still allowed Nazi to exist deserves a harsh punishment.
32. # 28 Can't you come up with a better
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (01.25.12)
answer ?.my question is still valid,it's obvious,you are embittered,the European welfare state is ending,so, who is going to feed you ?.instead of spewing hatred,you will have to get hold of yourself and start thinking rationally,and not blame others for your misfortune.
33. #3, #13
Fluffi ,   Germany   (01.25.12)
20% of the Germans are right wing nationalists and think they are better than others. So are AT LEAST(!!!) 20% of the Israelis and Americans, a group particularly seen writing talkbacks on ynet. Btw, in 1945 100% of the Germans were anti-Semitic (isn't that so?) and today "only" 20%. I call this an improvement and this although all our teachers are Nazis and we have a genetic deficiency...
34. Hahahaha...NEWSFLASH Germany hates Jews
Al   (01.25.12)
Ynet you have outdone yourself with this reporting. I've had my laugh for the night. Good night all...
35. Jews need to get out of Germany
k ,   US   (01.25.12)
how Jews can live in that country is beyond me
36. #33, Fluffi = the paradigm of German
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.25.12)
arrogance...These MORONS will never change !
37. 20% Germans anti-Jewish
BK ,   USA   (01.25.12)
News flash!: Sun rises in east, sets in west today. So, what else is new?
38. German antisemitism
sarah ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.25.12)
shocked, I'm just shocked! (sarcasm)...it's all over Europe. I recently had a Swedish guy earnestly assure me that there is no antisemitism in Sweden because, after all, if my name was Cohen I could get a job, but not if my name was Mohammed. Europeans barely like each other and look down on the rest of the world, and they hate Jews. This isn't news, friends.
39. That means about 80% do not
StevieT ,   USA   (01.25.12)
That is quite incredible when you think that WW II occured in many of our lifetimes.
40. Im native german, as my grandparents & none of us hate jews
Neo ,   EU   (01.25.12)
so whats wrong with us? :-D Also I never met anybody in germany talking really bad about jews... I have the feeling many jews are searching hard for anti-Semitism in the world and if you ask the right questions you may get the result of people you are searching for.. I have plans to one day visit israel and look if you people are suffering from paranoia like this comments here sometimes impy that impression or just are great people from a great land, what Im expecting
41. TRY A POLL IN ISRAEL
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (01.26.12)
OK, put the shoe on the other foot and take a poll in Israel that asked questions like: "Do non-Jews have too much power in Israel?" and see what kind of response you get. Bet there are plenty of "latent" anti-"goy"; anti-Christian; anti-Arab; etc. biases. All you need to do is set the definition of anti-whatever and then design questions to justify the answer sought. Totally bogus from a statistical standpoint but its done all the time. We are tired of similar "polls" commissioned here by the ADL in the USA which come out like clockwork reminding us all how anti-semitic they need us to be.
42. Spain, Norway and others much higher
David ,   USA   (01.26.12)
20 percent is not that big. Spain, Norway, Denmark are much higher last I checked along with Poland
43. Germany is a friend to USA and Israel
David   (01.26.12)
Stop treating Germans as an foe. The German peoples have redeemed themselves are are now a good ally of Israel and will never let any jews be put to death again. Not many nations in the world outside the USA that have helped JEWS like Germany has.
44. To all of you:...
Hansje   (01.26.12)
Please stop this BS, Germans nowadays are not more anti-semitic, then, lets say the Dutch or Belgians, even less! I presume that none of you were ever in Germany and have witnessed what they think or say. Did you know that there's not one single day that theire's national or regional television station isn't showing some documentary on the Holocaust. Germans are constantly showing regret and soul-searching. I would like to see that behaviour from the Dutch which were some great collaborators with the occupiers but after the war played the innocent...And don't forget the Austrians with their total amnesia.
45. TRUTH IS THE MORE YOU CALL THEM NAZI OR ...
PSYCHOLOGIST ,   EU   (01.28.12)
....OR ANTISEMITIC - THE MORE NAZI AND ANTISEMITIC THEY WILL GET ! BELIEVE ME ITS A PSYCHOLOGICAL THING ! IF SOMEONE CALLS YOU NEGRO OR JEW - YOU TURN YOUR BACK AND START LISTENING TO YOUR IMAMS OR RABBIS: IF YOU CALL GERMANS NAZIS THEY WILL START LISTENING TO HITLER (AGAIN) !
