Peter ,   Canada   (08.15.11)
1. Please answer a simple question- can a person with dark complexion, typical Jewish features and Kippa feel good in Germany 2. Together.to website has problems- it is impossible to leave a comment
62. don't Demonize true patriots.
Malcom ,   Chicago   (08.15.11)
If you look at what the left and the multiculturalists have done to Germany you can see how Germany is being overrun with liberalism, muslims and other trash. We Need our Patriots.
63. Believing Gemans are surely
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (08.15.11)
firends of Israel and the jewish people.But Germany as a whole has a problem of accepting the jews as the chosen people and Israel as the promosed land which leads to big envy and blind hatred.
64. Nazi's

"Springtime for Hitler and Germany?"
65. #62 thats what Hitler said too
marc   (08.15.11)
Hitler got rid of all the homosexuals, communists, socialists, and non-Aryan citizens of Germany to create a racially and culturally ''pure'' German homeland for ''real'' Germans. The extent to which his beliefs coincide with today's right wingers, such as many of Ynets own talkbackers , is kind of ironic.
66. Ynet, please educate your silly American talkbackers

A new revision of history is emerging from America. It makes the idiotic claim that the Nazis were a leftist, socialist party. It is based on the fact that Nazi society was totalitarian ( like communist Ruissia ) and that the Nazi party stands for ''National Socialists''. The lack of understanding about the definition of ''right wing'' and ''left wing'' is seriously disturbing. Considering that is was 'far right'' thinking that led to the Holocaust I believe it is imperative that young people understand what ''far right'' actually means. The assertion that the National Socialists were ''socialists'' is turning up everywhere online and it is as disgusting as it is ignorant. Hitler's first act on taking power was round up all the socialists and torture/kill them
67. #45 Nazism is not communism !!
(08.15.11)
Hitlers main goal was to defeat communism especially in communist Russia. First into the concentration camps were homosexuals and socialists. Please read about the history of the Nazi party and the second world war in Europe. Its appalling to think that just 70 years after WW2 anyone could be as confused as you are about the most basic facts underlying the conflict. Hitler was a response to communism- he was most certainly NOT a communist. 20 million communist Russians died defeating him compared to 454,000 Americans ( in Pacific and Europe )
68. is this rubbish about another submarine?
seth ,   deering usa   (08.15.11)
It is a stretch to associate a slogan clearly designed to say, "Let's get the country moving" with events few voters were alive during. It is a boilerplate exaggeration of the sacred holocaust INDUSTRY. Play the victim card for the zillionth rimw. What are you looking for another FREE submarine to arm with nuclear weapons to TERRORIZE people with? Shameless, thy name is israel.
69. @61
Lars ,   Germany   (08.15.11)
Hi Peter, to answer you two questions: 1. There are no typical Jewish features, per se. In Germany we now have many different nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. Also people with "dark complexion". I think they would not feel any different than I felt when I lived in Korea. I looked different. People looked at me, because I looked different. But not because they did not like me. Just because I was something "unusual". The group of American Jews (also some Iranian Jews among them) did not feel "uneasy" in Germany. 2. Yes, you can comment on http://together.to But you have to register ... you can imagine that a website like this does not only have supporters. After the blog post I wrote on the Israel Chamber Orchestra playing Wagner, the first comment that was written was full of hate, stupid accusations, racism, etc. The email address used in the comment form was fake. So I had to limit comments to registered users. But anyone can register, as long as it is done with a valid email address. :)

Lars ,   Germany   (08.15.11)
One more thing about your second question. You will have to click the activation link in the eMail that was sent to you. Check your eMails. :)
71. There is a disproportionate number of stupid comments here.
Ben ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.15.11)
Honestly.
72. Left Wingers
John ,   Queretaro   (08.15.11)
So the left wingers are trying to call the Nazi's far right wing??? Last time I checked, the Nazi's were far left wingers. Well, that is typical left wing propaganda, say something over and over and long enough, you will rewrite history and people will believe it.
73. alexander...#57
rashi ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (08.15.11)
To put it plain...you rock. kol hakavod. Why any Jew in his/her right mind would ever ever live in Germany today is beyond unbelievable -- and then they ask, "how do we deal with antisemitism in Germany"? We are supposed to be a smart people, aren't we??
74. Glen Beck and history 101
marc   (08.15.11)
any Israelis who still think Beck is a credible spokesman for Israel , please take note-- it is people like Beck who are spreading this idiotic theory that the Nazis were a genuine socialist party of the far left. As a result of this nonsense we now have young ignorant people in America who are openly racist and who don't know racism is wrong or that racism was the essential ''far-right'' part of Nazi ideology. Fascism plus racism plus extreme nationalism equals Nazism.
75. Lars@70
dmitry ,   Israel   (08.15.11)
There are like, 30 German postdocs and students just at one of the universities here in Israel. You can hear German spoken pretty much every day on campus. Plus there are plenty of Israelis who live in Berlin. I think the two countries are already pretty close. Of course, some arsim will probably take advantage of your offer to have a free holiday host in Germany. Even I would and I speak German already, read German papers, and was there before. I don't need to be 'closer' to Germany unless I want to sucker someone for a free holiday. So, be careful with that.
76. #6 Willing confusion
Raphael ,   Netanya   (08.15.11)
No wonder that a crazy leftist such as Horst Mahler, former leading member of the Bader Meinhof gang, is now part of the NPD leadership, and his case is no exception.
77. #72 ''Right wing'' definition
marc   (08.15.11)
In America ''right'' and ''left'' nowadays seems to refer exclusively to the amount of government intervention in peoples' lives. But in the wider world, outside America, for the last 100 years or more ,the beliefs which are characterised as ''left'' and ''right'' have not relied on that simple measure, but on a whole spectrum of beliefs. Fascism is the far-right equivalent of communism. Both exhibit a high level of state interference in the lives of citizens. Read a definition of ''right wing'' on wikipedia or somewhere....it is different from your incorrect definition.
78. Socialists
AmericanBandWidth ,   USA   (08.15.11)
Nazis are NOT Right wing. They are Leftists. Nazi means National SOCIALIST Workers Party. They are Socialists. "To be a socialist", says Goebbels, "is to submit the I to the thou; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole." "What we have established in Germany is the ideal system, SOCIALISM."
79. Don't be paranoid about Germany
Sean Green ,   Pasadena, USA   (08.15.11)
Most Germans especially the westerners like Jews and are ashamed of the Holocaust. The generations since WW2 have had a huge change. Only idiot felons in eastern prisons support neo nazism. They are a hated minority. Talk to a German someday and learn.
80. Wikipedia??? (#77) ROFL

germany should forbid the german national democratic party.
82. Sort of, but not even close.
Ed Coyne ,   TX, USA   (08.15.11)
Characterizing the Neo-Nazis as "far-right" is about as accurate as me being called a Marxist. Nice try, chooch.
83. 74-Tell a black person was no racism in US before Beck prg

Hope your insurance is paid up.
84. Reply to No. 58
pmxpilot ,   Houston, USA   (08.15.11)
"Gas geben" normally means "Speed up", or "Step on it". It also can mean "Give gas" or "Administer gas". It is unclear what the political poster really means, but the sinister under tone is definitely there. Because of the intended ambiguity, I consider the slogan threatening, especially to family members of those who suffered and died at hands of the Nazis.
85. @9 and @14
Erica ,   Miami, USA   (08.15.11)
I'm Jewish and I also used to hate Germans and Germany, but now, while I will never forget the holocaust, and never forgive the perpatrators, I realize it is unfair to condemn people who weren't even born when it happened. How is that different than someone stereotyping me or villifying me for being Jewish based on what another Jew did? Alot of people hate Americans these days, but I refuse to apologize or wear any shame because of the nation I was born in. Lars, thank you for your support of Israel and the Jewish people and while you will not convince all Jews and some will always hate Germans, I know not all Germans are bad and some are very good people.
86. Nazis are from the Left!
Bob ,   Detroit, USA   (08.15.11)
Far Right is Anarchy (no government), far left is total government. How are Nazis Far Right!? They controlled the people and industry amongst other things. This is leftist propaganda to call them far-right!
87. spectrum
Bob ,   Joliet, USA   (08.15.11)
Ongoing romantacism . The left is so overpowered by it since the French revolution, they cant think right. Romanticism cancels cognative disonence.
88. Individual Liberty does exist
jmstettner ,   Springfield, USA   (08.15.11)
The act of submitting to the necessities of living in society, of living in a community, does not by it's nature deny one's individuality or one's liberty. That is an illogical argument.
89. Sorry marc
jmstettner ,   Springfield, USA   (08.15.11)
marc, you are the one spouting non-sense. Any cursory examination and comparison of the party platforms and stated goals of the US Democratic Party, the Soviets, the Maoists, the Nazis, and the Fascists will clearly expose their similarities. Denying history doesn't change it.
90. Let's be clear, the neo-Nazi's are leftist
Kirby-man ,   Chester County, PA,   (08.15.11)
Were these bozos promiting anarchy, they would be right wing extremists, but fascism, naziism, socialism, and communism where the state has "control" are all left wing idealogies.
