Actually, Fischer is not a anti-semite, and I find it strange somehow, that you call a politician an anti-semite just because he support a peace solution for both sides of the conflict in Israel/Palestine.

Mr. Fischer is highly respected in the German Jewish community, and he was awarded with the Buber-Rosenzweig-Medal for his efforts.

I cannot understand why he is so popular here, either. Maybe it´s just that the people don´t blame him for:
- the US/German rift,
- the economic recession,
- the serious financial problems in our health and pension systems.

They probabaly think: we´re not at war with another nation, so the Foreign Minister is doing fine. LOL

I'm going by this Michael Kelly column in the Wash. Post:

Here is an excerpt:

In 2001, the German government put on trial your old friend Hans-Joachim Klein, who had been an underground ``soldier'' in the Revolutionary Cells, an ally of the Red Army Faction and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The Revolutionary Cells helped in the murder of the Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich in 1972, and Klein himself took part in a 1975 joint assassination operation with Carlos the Jackal in which three were killed.

During your testimony at Klein's trial, you were accused of having harbored Red Army Faction members in your Revolutionary Struggle house, the Frankfurt center for the group Revolutionary Struggle, which you co-founded with housemate Daniel ``Danny the Red'' Cohn-Bendit. You were forced to admit there was some truth in the accusation after it was revealed, as Berman reported, that Margrit Schiller, ``who had served jail time for her connections to the Red Army Faction,'' had in her memoirs ``plainly stated that she had spent a `few days' in the early 1970s living in the Revolutionary Struggle house.'' (After your testimony, you shook hands with your old terrorist-friend Klein. Sweet.)

In 1969, you attended the meeting of the Palestinian Liberation Organization in which the PLO resolved that its ultimate aim was the extinction of Israel--that is to say, the extinction or expulsion of the Jews of Israel. Seven years later, Revolutionary Cells terrorists led by your Frankfurt colleague, Wilfried Boese, hijacked an Air France plane to Entebbe. The hijackers intended to murder all the Jewish passengers on that flight, but were killed by Israeli commandos. ``Suddenly,'' Berman wrote, ``the implication of anti-Zionism struck home to (Fischer).

What did it mean that, back in Algiers in 1969, the PLO, with the young Fischer in attendance, had voted the Zionist entity into extinction? Now he knew what it meant.''

So, that's who you are, Mr. Fischer, the man we haven't convinced. You are the man for whom Munich wasn't enough, the man who needed Entebbe to convince him that Jew-murder was wrong. You ask to be excused. You have been excused.

And here is the link to the rest of the article:Mr. Fischer, who are you?
