WRONG, tough guy. The election of the US president effects the ENTIRE world. The fact that you think there isn't much difference between Kerry and Bush shows that you have not been receiving the full story in your German media (no surprise there).
P.S. Israel has ZERO reason to trust Germany's judgment with regard to terrorism.
I think I haven´t been clearly.
First, I don´t criticize that Israel forced Lufthansa down to Cyprus, I applaud it and would want the same at any other place under the circumstances.
Second, I didn´t neglect that the presidential race affects the entire world, but I said it is not CRUCIAL for my life, unlike the election of the Federal Parliament here.
Third, Germany is an ally of Israel, maybe more than the most other EU members. This is because of history. Germany has been a vocal and active supporter of the existance right for Itrael, and helped that state by exporting armament and paying billions of DEM (not only as compensation for crimes against humanity). And finally - what the article does not say, but German media - the terror threat was sent to the Berlin City Government and the City of Frankfurt, which have informed security authorities and Lufthansa.
