German government backtracks on Jewish skullcap warning, urges everyone to wear it ahead of anti-Israel protest

The German government urged people to wear the Jewish kippa in the wake of an upcoming anti-Israel protest, backtracking on the warning that Jewish people should conceal their religious identity and avoid wearing the religious skullcap.

Felix Klein, the government’s anti-Semitism commissioner, sparked international controversy after saying in an interview with a regional press group that he “cannot recommend to Jews that they wear the skullcap at all times everywhere in Germany.”

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin promptly called out the German government, saying it shows that Jews are increasingly unsafe in the country and called the statement a “capitulation to anti-Semitism.”

“The statement of the German government’s anti-Semitism commissioner that it would be preferable for Jews not wear a kippa in Germany out of fear for their safety, shocked me deeply,” Rivlin’s statement said.

“We will never submit, will never lower our gaze and will never react to anti-Semitism with defeatism -- and expect and demand our allies act in the same way.”

U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell also condemned the statement and urged Jewish people and others to wear a kippa.

“The opposite is true. Wear your kippa. Wear your friend’s kippa. Borrow a kippa and wear it for our Jewish neighbors. Educate people that we are a diverse society,” he tweeted.

Damn straight. Same exact thing. People should arm themselves with street weapons, like saps and brass knuckles, in case they need to defend themselves from the fascists for either wearing yarmulkes OR MAGA hats. And they should also have enough discipline to practice restraint unless they are attacked.

Attacks, in Europe. I don’t believe that either. Or in the US, though they can use the Synagogue shootings to make the case in the US. But also false in the context of risk. I don’t believe there’s any “right wing” organized operatives in the US. Islamist, hardly worth discussing, Hizbollah and Hamas are here. As is Iran, outside the aforementioned terrorist organizations. But they’re not here to kill a handful of Jews. Just Americans.

More thoughts on the self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s been done before. Stalin, when he set out to starve the Ukraine into submission to collectivization, used Jewish communist party members to do the dirty work. Result: The back-lash was directed against the Jews, and when the Ukrainians openly collaborated with the Nazis during their occupation, their nationalism in later years became suspect, because linked with anti-Semitism and Nazism.

Likewise, this time around they managed to slime UKIP candidate “Tommy Robinson” with a canard, that he’s “extreme right” and anti-Semitic. It was all lies and guilt by former association with the EDL, which he renounced and walked out on when it was coopted by bigots. And the leftardians got away with it this time. And it worked.

But the rapefugee invasion’s designed for a self-fulfilling prophecy. The globalists wanted a back-lash, because of the tendencies of many Jews to reflexively support left-wing causes, such as open borders, the back-lash will ultimately be artfully directed at the Jews, thereby retroactively making the Tommy-Robinson-style canard true and discrediting the right wing forever, just as falsely labeling Nazis as right-wing worked so well for so long. It worked in the Ukraine in 1939. It’s at work in Germany and other vassal states of the EU in 2019. Hitler-evil manipulation on a grand scale.
