31. Remember the Berlin Wall
(11.16.06)
32. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
DEFT ONE ,   dubai, UAE   (11.16.06)
atlast the guilt and the fear is cracking among the germans. Germany has admitted its mistakes over and over again. its time for them to be free of their fathers' actions. Plus they have a consience and they see what israel has done to the palestinians through out the last 50 years. The holocoust lasted 5 years, but the palestinian holocust has been going on for 50 years now, and most unfortunately is being committed by those who were victims of such cruelty, i have nothing but respect for these professors. i hope their influence reaches their foreign ministry. bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo

Jack ,   Palestine   (11.16.06)
And you call Germans murderers!!Palestine was stolen from the Palestinians, dear. Just tune to History Channel to know how the Palestinian Culture was flourishing prior to the British intervention and following immigration of so called 'Jews'. Its been always the case..you've been brainwashed otherwise.. Once again tune to History Channel to see illitrate Jews sweeping the streets of Europe for a living.. Palestinians simple villagers, how funny?!!!! Proud to be one Ynet (with a full brag)..
34. Viva Germany!!

A.C   (11.16.06)
those illiterate villagers u t talking about were back in 1930 the most educated and modernized society in the arab world, they had tier own schools, colleges. newspapers, a radio station and their own currency (palestinian pound). they even had a football team who almost played in the World Cup 1930. (where was israel at that time). reread the arab history of palestine and learn something for good instead of repeating what u hear from ignorants like u.
36. Heil Who???
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (11.16.06)
Y'all just don't understand. These clerics, I mean, academics, are attempting to kill three flies with one stroke. 1. They''re trying to wash the blood off their collective hands. 2. They're hedging their bets, just in case the new crop of Nazis gets anywhere. 3. They're trying to "make nice" with the Muslims inside Germany who are getting more and more demanding. (Give 'em what they want, as long as they won't burn my Mercedes.) Add to that a tremendous influx of Eastern Europeans whom they despise, and these poor guys don't know which way they want the wind to blow. Most of all and speaking geopolitically, they desperately want to be right just once about something.
37. German academics
Robin ,   Sydney   (11.16.06)
It will be a longtime coming for Israel to have a “friendship free from past burdens" with Germany. Genocide is a serious crime and doesn't disappear after 60 years. Many Nazis are still alive and many Holocaust survivors are still living. To gain trust in any relationship takes time. The murder of six million innocent men woman and children is not forgotten or forgiven easily.. Nazism didn't appear in a vacuum. The culture needs people to cultivate it. Support who or whom you wish Germany, but you will be held accountable for a long long time to come.
38. Germany is included in the Gog-Magog coalition
(11.16.06)

39. THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY THEY'RE NO LONGER

ENSLAVED BY THE BERLIN WALL! REMEMBER ALL THOSE GERMANS FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES DREAMING OF FREEDOM RISKING CLIMBING OVER AND UNDER BARBED WIRE WHILE GETTING SHOT AT & UNDER GUN TOWERS TO GET TO THE WEST?

All maskerade must end and we have to face our enemies.As for Holocaust:we are herein the Holy Land because of the Bible, and not becuase Germans and Europiansfeil guilty.No favors from them.
41. ahmadinejad opened the way
dovdevan ,   ashdod;israel   (11.16.06)
the iranian president just told a few month that he was wondering why the german people should pay for what their ancestor have done !!! so they are following their mentor the master of the left wing extremism and antisemite like mr chavez !!! how you can see there is a link between the extrem left and the islamofascist !!
42. Can't compete with Jewish brilliance...
(11.16.06)
so they seek to hide it. Who's the fool? Imagine some dumb "intellectual" confronted with a Jew. The Jew sets about unlocking the secrets of the atom, the laws of the universe, science, cures for too many medical ailments upon mankind to list; how can ego and ignorance abide the Jew who pioneers novel, vibrant, prestigious and prosperous innovations previously unknown to mankind in every field of world endeavor? Since such "intellectuals" also tend to be completely godless, what would a pathologist know of Jesus the Jew who raised the dead, rose from the dead, and claimed to be the sole means of salvation for all mankind - a Jew even!? What would they know of the God of Israel who said He'd bless those who bless Israel (Jews) and curse those who cursed Israel (Jews)? Dang right! they don't want Jews around, much less publishing their work. Jews make them look bad. How convenient to latch onto oil fueled arab media-political deceptions of oppression to remain in the "intellectual" and egotistical "safety" of haughty cronyism and mediocrity. Anyone dealing with such a Jew will have to RAISE their standards because Torah has left its indelible mark on even the most godless Jew through culture and heritage. Torah is God's universal laws of good success. * The world's way is to pull others DOWN to and beneath their standard for ego comfort. Stereotypical labels grant labelers unmerited "supremacy". An impossibly achieving and militarily super powerful Jew insults European failings' and stereotypes. Thus, the constant chipping, hostility and undermining to bring Jews DOWN TO and always beneath. The Bible shows the current violence and world intrigues against Israel will exponentially worsen. Israel, the arabs, and eventually the world will suffer terrifically. Yet, the Bible also shows that these cataclysmic events are the precursors of the rightful ascendancy of the Jewish people and nation into ultimate blessing and reconciliation with the true Jewish Messiah Y'shua. God promised, "..you [Israel] will no longer bear the shame of the Gentiles [the world]..." Y'shua said, "We are in the world, but not of the world; as strangers passing through." Jesus was in all ways an observant Jew. "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from Torah until everything is accomplished." Matthew 5:18 Jesus was saying, Torah stands powerfully in its entirety, He is the propitation as "...Mighty God.." "For unto us [Israel] a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and His name...Mighty G-d, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 Y'shua said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish Torah or the Prophets [Tanakh]; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:17 Y'shua removes the Deuteronomy 28:1-68 "curses of Torah" and releases the "blessings of the Torah" on those who like the Israelites of Egypt posted the Paschal lamb on their doors and were saved. Those who did not, whether Jew or Egyptian, perished. The door posts and windows of are the heart and mind covered with the Paschal lamb indicating faith in the God of Israel. God bless Israel. http://know-messiah.blogspot.com/
43. #26 Channa's propaganda
Metatron   (11.16.06)
"The Jewish people built the state of Israel out of what had been a wasteland for almost 2000 years. " This is so not true. Just Zionist propaganda, like "a land without people for a people without land". You are trying to justify land theft.
44. America
USA   (11.16.06)
America was built on the land of savages on the backs of slave labor. Israel built its cities on the land of the palestinans with the blood of their people and the blood of the palestinians. How dare you people sit here and call everyone who dosnt agree with you an anti semite. According to your logic everyone is an anti semite even the many jews who dont support israel. I hope the real jews of the world can teach you something about democracy. You guys are hipocrites at least germany is helping you israeli's. Dose any one think israel is going to help the palestinians? Im talking about real help. And nothing your government dose now counts because your killing and stealing their land so giving them some care after blowing off their arms only makes you even. And those you kill well maybe israel should become and ally of palestine for 6 million years. Soon that will be how many you have killed with your uranium bullets and experimental weapons.
45. Germany unification a disaster for Jews
Ralph ,   London   (11.16.06)
The Germans pretended to be all humble and nice and repentant, until they were re-unified. Now the masks are off.
46. YES INDEED - FAVOR ISRAEL BECAUSE ITS BETTER
andrew ,   miami,fl   (11.16.06)
47. ISRAEL WENT HOME - THEY ARE NOT EUROPEAN
ANDREW ,   MIAMI,FL   (11.16.06)
48. See what Kais reads in Qatar
Barry   (11.16.06)
To see what Kais spends his time reading in so called 'newspapers' in Qatar and why he has an affinity with Germany see http://www.adl.org/main_Arab_World/asam_jan_june_qatar_2006.htm Al-Watan (Qatar) – Al-Watan is one of the five Qatari dailies. Al-Watan's chairman is Hamad bin Sahim al Thani, a member of the so called royal family (All of the papers are owned by different branches of the so called royal family and there is no free press so how does Kais cannot help be so ignorant. The Foreign Minister, Hamed bin Jasem bin Jaber al Thani, owns half of the newspaper.
49. Palestine was a wasteland before Israel
Paolo Ortenzi ,   Rome, Italy   (11.16.06)
In particular there were a couple of VIPs telling it: Mark Twain and Goethe, who visited the Holy Land before it was turned (again...) into Israel. Another witness was Karl Marx, that certified the presence of Jews in Jerusalem. Before 1920 aliyot (and following) arab emigration FROM Palestine was high, because was a neglected land. After the Jew started land redemption, the immigration flow inverted: Arabs were immigrating FROM arab countries to Palestine. And these are FACTS.
50. Just an attempt
Neo ,   Czech   (11.16.06)
to rewrite own and others´ history on basis of an "original" interpretation. Einfach Deutsche Historieschmerz...
51. Missing the point
Abdullah ,   Morocco   (11.16.06)
First off. one cannot discount the possibility that these academics are motivated by latent anti-semitism. not b'cos they're german but b'cos they're not jewish and history shows that anti-semitsm is prolem for non-jews whether german, arab or southern baptist. But that is just the "dirty bath water" of this article. The "baby" is the point that "europe and germany are responsible for the most grotesque cuelty to the jewish people" and this millenia of cuelty has directly led to the suffering of palistinain arabs in the last 6 decades. There are tow victims here, Jews and the palistinian arabs. And europe needs to atone for its sins by ensuring that Jews and arabs live in peace in the land of israel - free of bigotry and hatred. It is not sufficeint to support israel to continue in a state of conflict Nor is it acceptabel to to take a passive attitude towards palistinian - this only increases hatred against israel. None of this is good for the traditional jewish way of life. This conflict must end, so Jews can live as Jews in israel and be fully part of the middle-east. That's the "baby", and someone needs to address this. Preferably not an anti-semite.
52. Paolo - Great! Facts.. so vital and important! Thank you.
Truth ,   USA   (11.16.06)
53. It's About Time!
World Citizen ,   the world   (11.16.06)
Good for the Germans. All this hand wringing over something that happened 60 years ago. And if 90 percent of the Jews in Europe hadn't been Bolsheviks it would have never happened. Hitler was at war with Bolshevism, not world Jewry. This is a history lession that needs to be taught throughtout the world.
54. A 'new' announcement from the birthplace of the Shoah
Arie ,   Afula   (11.16.06)
55.  kais you are the descendant of the mufti of jerusalem ?
dovdevan ,   ashdod,israel   (11.16.06)
this is just a little amount of the money that have been stolen from all the jews in europe by the nazis !! remember that the mufti of jerusalem was the allies of the nazi regime that was rising an army for hitler !!
56. it's about time. Germany extremely biased towards Israel
fanny ,   amsterdam, holland   (11.16.06)
it's about time. Germany is extremely biased towards Israel
57. #53...you're an idiot....not a world citizen
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.16.06)
Your post is disgusting. Hitler hated the Jews regardless of what they stood for at the time. Saying that it would not have happened if this or that is just pathetic. People like you who try to downplay the holocaust are the exact reason for why Jews need to remind the world that it happened forever...if you can't see that, then your hatred is stronger than your will to have peace...trully pathetic.
58. Oy gevalt!
The Raccoon   (11.16.06)
Germany is a dying country. The natives are getting older, the barbarian invaders are multiplying. By 2050, if current trends continue, Gemrany will be an Arab Muslim country. They can favor whomever and whatever they like - in a short while, they will favor Shari'a. Thank you for Tristian and Isolde, Deutschland... und Gute Nacht.
59. Germans
Petra ,   USA   (11.16.06)
Did the Palestinians lose 6 million to their allies, Nazi Germany?? What ruined Germany is the same hatred now fostered by the neo Nazi sympathizers that continue to rail against Jews. Germany, Wasn't WW11 enough for You? Do You like living with Your allies, the PLO? Are they not also a part of Your past? No wonder Europe is going downhill, imported neo Nazis who takeover Germany like they do everywhere they go. Shall Germany become an Islamic state? Israelis make better partners for peace than the Pals. Think about it.
60. Idiot 53, what are u talking about
Jewish American ,   USA   (11.16.06)
HITLER WAS NOT AT WAR WITH THE JEWS!!!! I also bet you say the Jews staged the Holocaust because that never happened either right!! Hitler was at war with everyone who was not his definition of an Aryan (and ironically enough he was a small ratty looking guy). He hated the Jews most of all, I don't know what history you have been reading pal, but it seems like you need a new lesson. Hitler issued decree's outright blaming the Jews for the loss of WW1 and Germany's economic depression. He was "at war with the Bolsheviks" because he wanted to expand Germany to all of Europe. Where have you heard that 90% of Jews were Bolsheviks, al-jazzeera or the BBC!?!?! Hitler hated the Jews most of all, YOU need to read history and take a few new courses in it b/c you sound no better than a Holocaust denyer.
