Translation of original article in German.

The President of the Jewish Central Council of Germany Charlotte Knobloch- "insinuations which were right at the border of anti-semitism. "

German Bishops have caused frictions on their visit to the Near East, Charlotte Knobloch says that the statements made by them were “at the border of anti-semitism”. The Bishops had compared Palestinian towns with the Warsaw Ghetto.

Bishops equate Israel's actions to Holocaust [6 barfies]

Yep. Saw some the comments in another post earlier today. The bishops see no "purpose" to the wall - as if stopping the killing of Jews isn't a legitimate "purpose."

So the Jewish Central Council of Germany thinks that criticizing Israeli policies and practices (no matter how unwarranted the criticism) is the same thing as anti-semitism?
