I’m equally sorry that you are exhibiting liberal-like behavior. I didn’t deny whatever factual stuff you brought up; I do not see the relevance to the Bundesrepublik’s foreign policy, nor has same been demonstrated.

BTW, did you happen to read this, dating back to last month?
As lively as these debates are, they have also been repeated ad nauseum. Why all this constant rehashing of Hitler and the past, some ask? But it’s really about the present. Hitler isn’t the problem. The problem is our society.

The scandal isn’t that Nadja Drygalla was part of the German rowing team. The scandal is that young Germans in the 21st century feel the need to be neo-Nazis. The scandal is that neo-Nazis now dominate a neighborhood in the Ruhr region, a region that, ironically enough, was long proud of its capacity to integrate different ethnic groups. The scandal is that for years a terrorist group was able to pass undetected as it shot and killed people from immigrant communities, and that some public servants couldn’t or wouldn’t see what monstrosities were taking place in Germany.

Does it happen elsewhere? Of course it does. Other countries, like Hungary, the Netherlands, France and Denmark, even have radical right-wing parties represented in their national parliaments. Does that mean it isn’t really all that bad in Germany? No, it is. Even after almost 70 years, it does make a difference whether an act of xenophobia happens in Germany or in Spain. We remain a special case, because Hitler is one of us. …
There is also this, from back in May of last year.
A large majority of Germans (59%) view Israel as “aggressive” and think Germany no longer has a special obligation to the Jewish nation, according to an opinion poll released Wednesday ahead of a state visit by Germany’s president. …

Seventy percent said they believed Israel pursued its interests without consideration for other nations, Stern said in a pre-release of its Thursday edition, up 11 percentage points from three years ago. …

I quoted and responded to your oddball statement: "they are not our friends"

You, in turn, have failed to substantiate what you posted.

All you have to play is the Nazi card, just like a sick minded liberal who plays the Race card.

As if we don't constantly see the BBC attacking Israel and siding with Palestinians.


Here is link about Jewish people... Now you can post the UK is not the friend of America.

As a Brit, I am ashamed of what is happening in my country.
How long before British universities do something about the safety of their Jewish students? A new survey reveals that Jewish students at one of Britain’s top institutions face a “toxic atmosphere” in which they are forced to hide their identity.

BTW, you are not an American, are you?
You have no State flag. Nor an About Me page with even a single American ideal and you display a hysterical antagonism against Germany that can only be the product of the Hitler infatuated British press.
