Your link gives no evidence of what Alexander Gaulandread said about Israel.

Hearsay isn't evidence. I did do a search on Gaulandread and Israel nothing of relevance came up.

Except, the article directly quotes Gaulandread.

You are overrun by Moslem rapists and you think Israel is your problem?

Really?

Overun by muslim raptists? Not really.

But you are having hundreds of people shot dead in Chicago alone. A major sports league in shambles on the very question of patriotism, mass shooting in a church but you think the vast majority of peaceful refugees in Germany is your problem?

Checked a second time. I do not see a quote from Gaulandread that questions the existence of Israel.

I see a quote that questions if Germany should send troops to Israel.

In German. Gauland says siding with Israel's right to exist puts Germany in danger of having to send soldiers to fight and die for Israel.

Gauland questions if Germany should have this position* anymore: That Israel has a right to exist. Because it puts Germany at risk of sending troops if Israel is attacked. He says: Unles you are sending troops why say Israel has a right to exist.

You have already stated that I'm possibly criminally stalking you. Which makes conversations with you impossible.

Police hands being tied does make me upset. But it's not a threat to the country as with the invasion is in Germany.
They're not comparable.

Because you made me into actual criminal for having a conversation with you I can't legally or ethically talk with you anymore.

I have notified FR administration of the charges you put against me.

Well....for the record, Haaretz is a fairly liberal newspaper out of Israel. It’s generally viewed as liberal left.

I’ll also point out that around a quarter of the ownership of the newspaper....goes oddly to a German media company...M. Dumont Schauberg (they own and operate around ten major newspapers in Germany). The slant from those ten German newspapers over AfD over the past year? Mostly all negative.

If you did ask a hundred Germans on their view of a ‘special relationship’...out of a thousand priorities...it won’t even make the top 500 worries with most of the group.

peaceful refugees in Germany is your problem?

Not our problem. Germany's and Europe in general's problem. Only if you think Europe's problems concern us could it be our problem.

Everybody knows anything that happens in Europe could not possibly affect the rest of the world. That's what my grampaw told me anyway, when he got back from world war two.

Criminally? LoL!

We are supposed to be posting about the issues but you stalked me with a chip on your shoulder and attacked me personally.

Her post is in German. go read it. She said she was upset about moderates being called a Nazi and other things.

What I don't understand about your link is how you a freeper can believe anything the media says?

Just like you did right now saying it is impossible to post with me. On what basis that? We were posting here fine. Until you just went off the rails with this personal attack.

But I see what you are doing and reporting you for abuse. You don't like the news items I post about AfD so you simply want me off FR.

said, "(you stalk) Criminally? LoL!... you stalked me"

Stalking is a crime even on the internet. I've made it clear that I've read and responded to post we both have an interest in. That isn't stalking.

You're claiming I'm stalking you. Which is a criminal accusation.

You're laughing suggest I'm not stalking. Then you state again that I am. You're like an old woman. Make up your mind.

Who says Israel's right to exist has to be a top issue in Germany?

Seems top priority goes to those who don't want that position.

Btw, you are posting to me and Steve Van Doorn who claims in post 10 of this thread:

Because you made me into actual criminal for having a conversation with you I can't legally or ethically talk with you anymore.

Doesn’t Merkel do this, too, by her widespread acceptance as refugees of Muslims who hate Jews?

I really know nothing about German politics, but that is a question I have.

Merkel, on paper, may accept Israel as a legit state. But her actions (or, perhaps, inaction) are moving the nation to a demographic that won’t. Am I wrong?

Obviously you are stalking me with a chip on your shoulder.

Proof: We were posting here fine till you out of the blue attacked me on a post I made to someone other than you.

You are still personally attacking me. I get it, You don't like me. But I do find this very funny:

Because you made me into actual criminal for having a conversation with you I can't legally or ethically talk with you anymore.

LoL!

I don’t see that war refugees are calling for Germany to question the Israel right to exist policy. I see AfD who have seats in the Bundestag now questioning that.

You're not wrong. Actions is the only thing we should pay attention to when it comes to politicians. Words of politicians are meaningless.

Islam is required to be angry with other beliefs including Judaism. Qur'an 1:7.

Also note the way Gauland worded it. Its like a legal statement. If we recognize Israel we're obligated to defend Israel. The statement must be taken as a whole. I don't know the rest of the conversation to put it into context but that one statement doesn't question Israel's right to exist. It questions if Germany should defend Israel.

"Obviously you are stalking me"

Stalking on the internet is a criminal offense. You're only laughing at the laws which makes me believe you're abusing the law.
