Young Israel's New Love Affair with Germany

[Skybird]

Welcome to the twisted German mindset!

What did Broder say in the link I posted above? (Es) "ist längst der deutsche "Sündenstolz" (Hermann Lübbe) an die Stelle der deutschen Scham getreten, wenn es die je gegeben hat. Wir waren die größten Schurken, jetzt sind wir die größten Büßer." - : Shame over past sins has been replaced by pride over being such an outstanding sinner. We've been the biggest villains, no we are the biggest penitents.

There is plenty of truth in that.

And a bit later he said: "Das deutsche Interesse an den Juden ist das eines resozialisierten Kriminellen, der zum Bewährungshelfer mutiert ist und seine ehemaligen Opfer mahnt, nicht in seine Fußstapfen zu treten." - :The German interest in the Jews is that of a resocialised criminal perpetrator who has mutated to a probationer who warns his former victims not to follow his criminal example.

There is plenty of truth in that also.

Damned Israelis, stealing our women!


The only time though I had an argument with an Israeli living here is when she disapproved of my IDF shirt and we argued about Israel's politics, it was a little like reverse world for the listeners. However she was not the younger generation, but in her mid-40s.

Yep, there were many half-assed moments there, for example the thing about the Caritas. Though the best moments are when he is one on one, like with the guy from the Middle East institute, or when he visited the different religions. The part when he argued with the peace movement wankers was just brilliant!

I can recommend to check out "durch die Nacht with Broder und Diekmann"(the Bild guy), not very deep but quite entertaining. And he mentions that he is still a leftie

I disagree with Broder here. Germans have become just like the rest of the world: Paternalizing and preaching from the high horse. Everyone knows better than the Israelis what's in their best interest... Just like you have to explain to a little child what's good for it.
Yet German politicians are the first ones who demand laws that restrict our freedom when terror attacks happen even in neighboring countries. Just take a look at the demands here after Breivik went ape**** last year. The Norwegians basically said: fu, Anders, we won't restrict out freedom, but counter with more democracy; while German politicians demanded the opposite.
