On Monday, the popular German newspaper Bild will print a kippa on its pages that can be cut and worn on the head. The newspaper's unusual action is to protest against the remarks made by Felix Klein, the government official responsible for combating anti-Semitism in Germany, who warned Jews throughout the country, "Unfortunately, I can not recommend that Jews wear a skullcap anywhere in Germany."
Bild's chief editor said on Twitter, "If there is even one Jew in Germany who does not feel he can wear a skullcap without risk, our only answer should be that we all have to wear a skullcap. ...

What’s the over and under for how long it will take for someone to attempt an attack on their newsroom? I applaud their courage.
After the sympathetic gentiles and secular Jews get bored with this, put away their paper beanies, and go on to something else, give it a week before the paper’s attacked. Pity, really.
Being born with a bull’s eye on your back is a full-time job, whether you accept it or not, and whether you wear a yarmulke or not. Expressions of solidarity as such are greatly appreciated, however short-lived.
But life will go on. The paper will recover from the attack or not. Charlie Hebdo is still publishing, but never recovered from the massacre. They’ve lot their nerve. The Bild, I hope, will fare better.
Ultimately, it is too dangerous to wage war against Islamofascism from a newspaper with a name, address and phone number, and known employees. A more secure enterprise would be anonymously published sheets, pasted to walls and lamp posts, with simple articles, exposing perfidy, deriding thuggery, exposing lies and propagating the truth, and whose distributors are legion. The Irgun did something like that during their uprising against the Mandate. Boys who were caught were imprisoned, in one instance summarily executed, in another mistreated and denied medical attention until the boy contracted sepsis and died. But the papers continued to be distributed. Even the might of the sun-set-less empire couldn’t shut it down. Same could be done to combat these thugocratic invaders and their agenda.
Hope someone in the EU is reading this.
This is only because they refuse to all circumcise themselves for solidarity. Chickens. Lol.
Well, someone who did that would be a cut above the rest;-)
Wouldn’t it be nice if this were more than a gesture? If the Germans are really tired of being pushed around by the muslims and their own globalists in government, they can help the Jews celebrate their holidays...i.e. a Yom Kippur candelabra in every window.
They can adopt it as their own symbol of defiance, and “up yours” to their oppressors, like the King of Holland did in Leon Uris’ novel with the star of David patch. What a turnaround.
It is solidarity when you call the mohel instead of the fist bump. ;)
The Danish King, and the Danes generally, were very supportive of their Jews. The King didn’t wear a yellow star, but neither did the Jews who lived there. When the Germans got fed up with resistance activity in 1943, and said they were going to round up all of the Jews, the Danes hid them — about 7000 Jews and 700 non-Jewish relatives of Jews — and then ferried them to (neutral) Sweden. And when the Germans caught 500 Jews and sent them to Thereseisenstadt, the Danes made such a fuss that the Germans didn’t send the Jews to the killing centers in Poland. see here: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/king-christian-x-of-denmark
And the Danes deserve praise for that. In the case of Germany, with its odious past behavior, the question is how to be cleansed of it and go forward. I suspect Merkel is determined to destroy Germany as some sort of atonement, and to hell with her. But showing both solidarity against the invaders and with Jews living in Germany, emulating the Danes’ example, would be a redeeming act of the highest order, imho.
On the other hand, on a more series note, Muslims also practice male circumcision, so it could be interpreted as solidarity with Islam. Perhaps have it monogrammed with a Hebrew letter;)?
He’d be in greater danger wearing a MAGA cap in almost any American city.
But it’s all part and parcel of the same sickness. We don’t like your religion/political affiliations/choices of any kind. So we attack you. It’s like a virus that makes regular people into zombies, looking to rule the world.
Don’t hold your breath.
But seriesly, those showing solidarity with Islam can use an Arabic letter for their monogram, and those just wanting a cuter-looking dingus can use a gothic letter. And who would know anyway, other than a girlfriend or wife, or other men in a public lavatory.
