And to some extent, at the behest of Jewish groups.
I've posted this often...
In the 1990s, a few years after German reunification, Germany announced a new law restricting Turkish Muslim immigration.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center raised the alarm, announcing that Germany was reverting to its racist Nazi past. (I still remember hearing the news report on KABC-AM on my car radio.)
Germany quickly rescinded the law, reopening its doors to Muslims immigrants, eager to prove to Jewish groups that Germany was no longer a racist, Nazi nation.
And Jewish support of Muslim migrants in Germany has continued...
In Germany, Jewish funds help keep Mediterranean migrant rescue missions afloat.
Pushing for Muslim immigration and then complaining about anti-semitism is called...
Chutzpah.
“Chutzpah is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. A close English equivalent is sometimes “hubris””
Thisis coming from the same batch of arseholes who doomed Germany with their asinine prohibition on Holocaust denial. Once you ban some speech, let the gov’mt say that is “hate” speech, you slide into ultimate tyranny.
Many Germans blamed WW2 on the Versailles treaty. Total BS since the punishments in that were no worse than previous treaties. Regardless, this attack on ANY measure of free speech is equivalent. And, the result will be catastrophic.
> Yes.
This flies in the face of every single allied leader of World War 2. As Dwight Eisenhower said: "Germany is not going to forget who won World War 2." You can bet your sweet a$$ that he meant both Nazi symbology and Nazi anti-Semitism.
We toppled statues of Saddam Hussein the very day our forces entered Baghdad. Was this wrong too? Should we have first taken a vote?
How about Afghanistan? Should we have turned around, perhaps a month after 9/11, and allowed monuments to Osama bin Laden, or celebrations of "heroic martyrs" the 9/11 attack?
Should Ho Chi Minh and his henchlings have been allowed to "peaceably" organize the Communist Party of South Vietnam in the year 1965-73? How about Pol Pot in Cambodia?
Losing wars of terror and aggression always means curtailing of freedom of action of the losing side, and rightly so. Only an absolute fool and patsy would do otherwise.
The First Amendment is a uniquely American invention and current policy (with obvious errors in practice like “hate crimes”).
But in Europe, your betters are allowed to lock you up for wrong-think.
I’d argue for a real freedom of speech there than any sort of obstructions like this one.
Von Alpen zu der Nordsee, Deutschland wurde Frei sein!
Excuse my German, it’s rusty.
“what have been total foreign aid and military aid dollars of all kinds from America to Israel and Ukraine over the last 3 years?”
Grok:
Israel: $29.9B
Ukraine: $175.0B
All in all, I’m okay with cutting aid to Israel so that they can run their own policy without Washington’s interference.
So how about that Ukraine spend? Do you spend 580% more time criticizing it? Or just Israel?
I'm sure it does.
But it's been 80 years.
We toppled statues of Saddam Hussein the very day our forces entered Baghdad. Was this wrong too?
1. We should never have attacked Iraq. Stupid, pointless, expensive war, based on lies.
2. It's been 22 years. Let them have statues of Saddam if they want.
How about Afghanistan ... month after 9/11 ... "heroic martyrs" 9/11 attack ... Ho Chi Minh ... Communist Party of South Vietnam in 1965-73 ... Pol Pot ...
It's been 80 years.
Losing wars of terror and aggression always means curtailing of freedom of action of the losing side, and rightly so.
Like we imposed on the Confederacy for 12 years. And then Reconstruction ended.
WW2 ended 80 years ago
It's long past time to end all free speech restrictions in Germany.
Interesting decision considering the Zionist origins of the phrase.
Are the Germans going to ban Irgun emblems as well?
Many of us have had an incredible number of posts attacking spending on Ukraine over the past couple of years.
For that we get attacked as Putin Puffers or something.
You just cannot win around here.
My point is that Liz seems intent on anything that can be framed against Israel. So she focuses on the spending on ISRAEL but never (to my review) UKRAINE.
Thereby I sense and essentially prove a unique bias she has.
I’m totally not involved in the Ukie / Russ flame wars. The whole thing is an absolute waste, in my opinion. Peace should have been grabbed a couple of years ago.
One stupid posting here -— an annoying Israeli ***-kisser
—— says he’s “okay with cutting US aid to Israel.”
Not to give US taxpayers a break, mind you
but to let frickin’ money-grabbing Israeli parasites
run “their own policy without Washington’s interference.”
This creep “pledges allegiance to a foreign country”
......Israeli pigs feeding at the tax-paid govt trough.
US patriots, Call Congress

Message: More of our tax dollars pouring into the Middle East hellhole is asinine. The US Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) has stupidly established an “international office” in Tel Aviv, Israel but, predictably, there is no information available to let taxpayers confirm the exact date of its establishment.
US taxpayers already pay plenty for a US government presence in US-dependent Israel.......which has been ongoing for decades. The US Embassy Branch Office opened in Tel Aviv in 1966. Not to mention the billions subsidizing Israel’s military and economy.
Reality Check
Taxpayers subsidize the broader security partnership between the US and Israel through legislative acts like the 2012 Enhanced Security Cooperation Act and the 2014 Strategic Partnership Act, which have fostered “cooperation” on matters such as joint cyber-security projects.
Even as Israel failed US taxpayers miserably
not giving the US intel about 9/11 planned in Israel’s backyard.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office in Tel Aviv: Specific establishment dates for the DHS international office in Tel Aviv are not available in the provided search results.
US-Israel security partnerships:
The United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 strengthened military cooperation, including joint training exercises and access to U.S. military hardware, as reported by whitehouse.gov.
The US-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014 designated Israel a “major strategic partner” and led to the establishment of a center for joint cybersecurity projects, according to a report from AIPAC.
Ongoing cooperation exists through initiatives like “US security assistance programs” and “joint exercises,” says the obedient US Dept of State.........they are the people who gave us USAID.
