JewsWakeUp ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.05.12)
Speak to most true German friends of Israel and they will tell you nothing really has changed hatred of the Jew is "too deep" No doubt the good Mayor and the others all have Nazi grandparents with "illutrious" pasts'' re Germany Jews and the rest of the world that suffered at their hands must always keep a wary eye on Deutschland .
2. austrian and german politicians
sobieski ,   wellington nz   (06.05.12)
as everywhere else it is not so much about nationality as it is about political views.The left-socialists and communists hate Israel and play the useful idiot part for islam.Conservatives - mainly christians are on the good side of the barricades.....

ian ,   texas   (06.05.12)
Do you ever wonder why Israel consistently ranks as the most hated country throughout the world ? It's not the country that we hate. It's its citizens
4. Its because israel always likes to play the role of the
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (06.05.12)
Crying wolf...Has been like this with regards to gods chosen people from day 1.... How dare you even compare the peaceful nature of the Austrian people to a state and people that are known worldwide for harassing others on a daily basis.

Alan ,   SA   (06.05.12)

7. The wonderful folks who brought us Hitler and Eichman
Alfredo ,   Raanana   (06.05.12)
now bring us Darabos and Schroter!
8. how is it they find time to hate?
moron ,   galut   (06.05.12)
this is a no-brainer! the haggadah tells us 'in every generation'..often because,as now, business is bad but the jews prosper because the torah creates a strong way of life
9. Hitler's little, evil spawn lives!
Taz Man ,   USA   (06.05.12)
These little, demonic devils make me sick! May God bring judgment!!! God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem! A Christian Zionist

ab   (06.05.12)
ngske" yesterday. European Jew-haters are egged on by Israeli or ex-Israeli Lefties
11. Consumed with Jew Hatred
Shotgun ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
Why look at the gentiles? Who is more consumed with hatred of Jews than YNet (who will undoubtedly filter this comment)? Any anti-Semite would be proud of the lies and stereotypes the Ynet circulates about settlers and Charedim, both of whom are the heart and backbone of Israel and the Jewish people.
12. But don't we just love the BMW/Audi?Merc?! On the other hand
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.05.12)
-why shouldn't Jews enjoy "Forschprung durch Technik"??! Let the miserable Germans/Austrians and the British go to hell with their incurable antisemitism; and believe me: they will!
13. Why? Mainly because of the islamo-arab BDS Movement
Susya Bar Dror ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
I hope that Europe will soon realise that there is is a huge danger in view: Morbus Islam
14. I agree with author, but...
Dan ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.05.12)
he should have left out Iran and merely focused on why is so much attention focused on Israel, when a myriad of real problems exist in European and in Germany and Austria. There are hundreds of conflicts throughout the world, many with worse consequences and deaths than this one. It truly is obsession.....but aslo, who cares what these officials say, Europe as a whole is weak.
15. Why Israel spent so much time care for single opinions of
David ,   Deutschland   (06.05.12)
arround the world from unpopular people? Why those people prefer to criticize Israel instead of Iran? Because its more easy and perhaps because they want to expect in their eyes "just the best" from democratic israel, while iran allready is a popular illegitimate state.. Maybe its coming from a bad german conscience, in israeli view we have always been the criminals, so "look how they behave now by themselves"..
16. Mr. Schröter is an idiot and
German   (06.05.12)
a local politician of a relatively small East German town and "represents" 0.12% of the German population. Are there more German majors that call for boycotts against Israel? No, yes, how many? Next time I would like to read an article on ynet that 99.9% of the German leaders support buying Israeli products. How about that? But that doesn't fit into your "everybody hates us"-agenda.
17. Is Meotti suffering from writer's block?
Tomek ,   Poland   (06.05.12)
Thank God a replacement could be found just in time.
18. Darabos and Schröter are Nazis, like 70%
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.05.12)
of ALL Germans according to the last poll...
19. I just sent a nice e-mail to Pax Christi and
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.05.12)
Schröter...anyone interested in it ?
20. Simple answer !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.05.12)
They are posessed !. The enemy of HASHEM has different Angelic beeings for His purpose - Socialistic and Roman Catolic ones, among others. Arn.Sweden.
21. As an Israeli Christian
Johnny ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
I'm offended by those so called Christians. Instead of occupying themselves for combatting the persecution of our Christian brothers in the islamic countries, they focus on Israel. Israel the only county in the ME in which Christians have real freedom and rights/religious rights, we have a Christian judge in Bagatz . Jesus called these people hypocrites. Why they're not denouncing the East Jerusalem Christian persecution by Muslims. Muslim landlords are closing churches in East Jerusalem. So please just shut up, and stop bowing to the sons of Satan. What they want from Israel ? They massacred and kicked out the Jews from Europe, now they don't want them in their own and only land. Hypocrite and filthy people. Long live Israel and the Jewish poeple, as the Pope John Paul II said "The jews are our big brothers". God Bless You
22. Wow Ynet, this story is so original. Do you have a template
Realist Israeli   (06.05.12)
For these we are victim stories...? It's embarrassing.
23. And yet talkbackers spend their days decrying Obama
Sam ,   UK   (06.05.12)
Perspective isn't one of their strong points, is it? Obama, who has spent years pushing sanctions on Iran (and pushing other nations to follow) gets a large amount of animosity on this talkboard. Well, these German officials are the alternative. And if you don't like them, there's always the entire Arab/Muslim world to consider. And if you don't like them, there's always Russia and China (who are actively supporting entities which seek Israel's destruction.) But hey, why bother to confront your enemies when you can spend your days whining about your friends?
24. I live in Austria
Mira ,   Vienna   (06.05.12)
and of the amount of antisemitism in the comments on newspaper article you have no idea! Some of them are disguised as "Anti-Israel" as is the fashion now. We have a percentage of right wing populist voters with Nazi ideas of about 30%. It is all about Jew hating, they are not FOR Iran, but AGAINST Israel and take in any possibility to bash her! And this goes right through all political colours. Nothing has happened here which could not happen any time again!
25. To: Chris at No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.05.12)
I would LOVE to read your e-mail, Chris. Should we be dusting off the gallows at Hameln prison? I'm pretty certain that avowing Nazi ideology still carries the death penalty in Germany and Austria. One or two hangings will take care of the problem, I should think.
26. In the mix... He is trying to justify his parents bad deeds.
Efraim ,   in Virginia   (06.05.12)
I lived in Germnay during the 70's and witnessed how many still have the nazi virus in them.
27. Anti Semitism in Germany & Austria! Who would have guessed?
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
28. So what?!
F---in' proud jew!   (06.05.12)
This is germany. Get over it. Some people change and some dont. Germans will never get smart.
29. #1...It is as you say !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.05.12)
30. A Simple Response!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (06.05.12)
"How is it that German and Austrian leaders can expend so much energy decrying Israel?" Because it's in their DNA. It's another reason why, at the age of 65, I go out of my way to avoid setting foot in either country.
