1. Please explain this one
DSM ,   USA   (01.30.19)
Britain's Jews, worried about Brexit, are coming to terms with memories of the Holocaust and therefore applying for German passports to come full circle ? What do they think will happen to them again should Germany's economic situation deteriorate or another German nationalist comes to power. And they worry about their grandchildren. They truly are nuts.
2. WOW: running FROM GB to Germany? One must be scared shitless
(01.30.19)
to do that, especially when there's a logical/plain option of coming home& joining us here, in Israel!
But go figure....people do dumb things all the time.
3. God forbid they should contemplate Israel? This shows you
(01.30.19)
what kind of PR our 'little shitty country' has, even among our brethren!!!!
Oy vey, the stupidity of folks...
But then again: many clung to good old Europe in the thirties and up to the very outbreak of WW2.
We NEVER believe our enemies, when they outline IN DETAIL their plans for "Our kind", do we?
4. Like a drum
(01.30.19)
Waking up to holocaust and going to sleep with holocaust. Aren't you sick and tired of brain washing. I was six, I played in girls orchestra. Me too I played the saxophone at 7 in Morocco and left with a suitcase. Where is my monthly cheque componsation?
5. Hasten slowly!
Brendan Cleary ,   Brisbane   (01.30.19)
This woman is taking a very big risk! Germany is actively importing hundreds of thousands of people whose fundamental religious beliefs are both anti Semitic and seminally terrorist. She needs to remember the reason so many more Jews were slaughtered in The Holocaust: they believed the Germans! They were rounded up, aided and encouraged by collaborating Jews, and assured they would come to no harm. Germany is part of a Europe which kowtows to Islam and despite the past, harbours no deep sympathy for Jewish sentiments. I suggest Israel is a better option!
6. dishonorable, self-serving lot
Cameron   (01.30.19)
Such is the value of British citizenship & loyalty eh?

Pimps bailing out.

Disgraceful.

May those opportunists on the move wind up having their British passports taken from them, then shredded & burned.
7. German passports
Thomas Ellner ,   new york   (01.30.19)
Disgusting !
8. Boaz
Boaz   (01.30.19)
Hmmmm. Always thought Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviets. Is it already that long ago that we have forgotten a basic historical fact?
9. LOL how pathetic and undignified is that?
Jake   (01.30.19)
10. MAKE ALIYAH TO GERMANY ???
CAPTAIN SARCASTIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (01.30.19)
11. LET'S FACE IT
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.30.19)
Israel is not " european " enough for these confused british jewish snowflakes.
12. OUT OF THE FRYING PAN ,IN TO THE FIRE !
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (01.30.19)
Have these british jews never heard of Israel ? the JEWISH state .
13. THE FAILURE OF ISRAEL
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED GENIUS   (01.30.19)
When jews prefer to emigrate to any other country rather to emigrate to Israel , that speaks volumes about the failure of Israel to be attractive to jews.
14. THERE IS NO CURE FOR MADNESS....
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (01.30.19)
15. German passports?
tiki ,   belgium   (01.30.19)
Good decision, for in Germany there is no anti Semitism.....LOL!
16. And the mind boggles ..let these “ Jews” go bye bye
MentallIllness ,   Jerusalem   (01.30.19)
17. She & Her Family will discover Berlin Is not real Germany
ShesInForASurprise ,   Jerusalem   (01.30.19)
Check out her family ‘s history in Germany probably had no connection to the Jewish community and more so were self hating Jews
So no loss to the Jewish People they will soon discover “ Berlin” is not the real Germany not even the suburbs of Berlin
18. Proof Old Age does not always bring wisdom
TheWomansAFool ,   Jerusalem   (01.30.19)
Proof also the cello drives most people mad crazy
19. I still cannot make the proper connection between Brexit,
(01.30.19)
Shoah, Germany of today and the need for jumping ship....?!
what am I missing?
20. Sanctuary in Germany ????
lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (01.30.19)
As Brexit looms, UK Jews seek sanctuary in Germany ...just goes to show that we Jews are just as stupid as the rest of humanity.
To go to Germany of all places which has not changed intrinsically one jot from its antisemitic historical past, only that they camoflage it better.
I have a better suggestion that perhaps they might consider Saudi Arabia where there is no equivocation, ifs nor buts about their hatred of Jews
21. Its easier to get a German passport also open up whole EU
(01.30.19)
These applicants can move anywhere in the EU with a German passport so its more benefiting for the past evil done against them.
22. BREXIT SHMEXIT....
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (01.30.19)
23. These are Jews
Steven ,   Rockville MD USA   (01.31.19)
that born in Germany, thus, they are 80-90 years old, retied, will get financial help from Germany, speak German but not Hebrew. With all fairness they will live under better conditions.
24. stupid Jews going back to the scene of the crime.
OLEG ,   florida   (01.31.19)
25. Make Aliyah
Hinda ,   San Francisco   (02.02.19)
Leave Eur-arabia to it's migrants -- come HOME! It's time to come home! Let them fester in their dung that they created. You do not have to worry about history repeating itself - now you have Israel! Join the thousands of European Jews who are leaving Eur-Arabia! Go UP!
26. But how many Muslims have entered Germany in recent years?
Alan   (02.03.19)
They are full of hatred to Jews in Germany . There is a cocktail of good old fashioned German Anti Jewism and Islamic hatred..
27. There is absolutely no Anti Jewism in Germany-guaranteed!
Alan ,   SA   (02.03.19)
28. All Jews living in foreign lands.....
The Archives ,   Kuala Lumpur   (02.03.19)
should have mastered krav maga or other forms of martial arts to defend themselves, then they won't be so fearful of all this. As one who knows how defend oneself, I became more confident of the dark and ruthless world.
29. Brexit is their main concern?! No surprise they consider
(02.05.19)
Germany as an option.
People dumb enough to ignore Muslim invasion happening right under their noses, are likely to engage in other inane actions& thoughts....
