Kissinger says it was 'grave mistake' for Germany to take in so many migrants amid pro-Hamas protests

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger says it was a "grave mistake" for Germany to allow so many migrants in, warning that it creates a "pressure group" in a country — just as Germany has seen pro-Hamas celebrations in the streets.

"It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that," the 100-year-old former U.S. diplomat said in an interview with Germany’s Welt TV.

He was responding to a question about scenes in Germany where Arab protesters in Berlin streets had, according to Welt, celebrated the recent Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and handed out candy to participants.

Germany most recently took in significant numbers of migrants, including many from Muslim-majority countries, during the 2015 European migrant crisis — with then-Chancellor Angela Merkel declaring, "Wir schaffen das" or "We can do this." Kissinger did not specifically mention the 2015 crisis in his remarks.

There have been scenes of pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian protests in multiple countries, including the U.S., United Kingdom and France. In the U.K., Home Secretary Suella Braverman recently issued guidance to British police chief constables to urge them to monitor such protests.

The numbers matter little if the ones migrating arrive with an enthusiastic intent to fully integrate and be assimilated. On the other hand, a handful with zero intent to assimilate but every intent to destroy will tear the country up.

I came here hoping to see a picture of those three dumb German girls holding the “Welcome” sign, written in English.

Take a moment to admire Mr. Kissinger’s profound understanding of the glaringly obvious.

The first one reminds me of the sort of sign the girls in high school band would make to welcome a visiting school’s “exchange program” musicians.

Merkel is the proud recipient of the Kalergi prize.

An as official a source as it gets:

https://www.bundeskanzler.de/bk-en/news/european-prize-for-the-chancellor-477196

No one can feign surprise at what followed.
