Germany to assist Israelis in states where they have no embassy

Germany is to offer Israeli citizens consular assistance in states such as Indonesia or Malaysia where Israel has no official diplomatic representation, under a new deal to be signed by Angela Merkel when she visits Jerusalem next week.

As a funny side note: 1.5 (or so) percent of all Israelis also have German passports (dual citizenship, as is their birthright if they have ancestors from Germany), so they'd probably already use that one for travel to Indonesia or Malaysia.

Interesting factoid. But also a great move by Merkle if, for no other reason, than for getting into the faces of the Islamofacists.

You’ll forgive me if, as someone born Jewish that I’m not inclined to immediately go into the room that Germans tell me to go into.

It’s no secret that Germany has also helped to provide advanced defense equipment (along with France...surprise).

Just watched all 6 ep of “Auschwitz” on Netflix.

How God could allow such evil to reign for so long escapes me. And the red army who initially went in wasn’t much better than the nazis.

Amen, amen. Going from the Nazis to the Communists was like going from Stage 4 cancer to Stage 3. לעולם לא תשכח - Never forget.
