Ok I apologize to Skybird, I'm sure he is not a nazi. However there is this grey area about things that can be percieved as hate speech. The laws about these things vary from one country to the other, from what I know Germany these days is pretty strict about fighting racism, hate speech, etc. Well, I don't know this for sure but I hope this is the case.
And back on topic, the strike by Israel on the UN buildin in Gaza was yet another example of not wrecklessness but sheer maliciousness. It was deliberate, they meant to hit that building. Casualties are way over 1000 dead and probably many thousands of wounded in Gaza.
Thomen,
why are you so should I say amazed? I come from Lapland, and the
Lapland war was a nasty war that left a deadly legacy in the forests of Lapland. It didn't exactly endear the Lappish people to Germans. If you go around anywhere in Europe and tell you are a German you will get a pretty negative reaction from most. Especially in the east. Does this surprise you somehow?
Oh, and

I don't think so. There's been plenty of coverage in the Finnish press about people protesting in the Westbank, for awhile it looked like another full-fledged Intifada. That may come too one of these days.
