90% Anti-Semitic Crimes Germany by Far Right

The positive aspect of this official report (as per this article from an Israeli newspaper) is that the vast majority of Germans aren't Anti-Semitic. However, 20% are. Of the crimes that are committed against Jews, 90% are by the far-right, which number a mere 26,000 (but is still a lot of racists, ...

Re: Poll: Muslims Less Likely To Justify Violence

What I was after was highlighted in my post above - which itself was taken from the original post which stated that eh should re-read the question and post it in full. He's the one who introduced the Pew survey on pg1 and seems to be insisting on misrepresenting the findings. The findings clearly sh...

Re: 90% Anti-Semitic Crimes Germany By Far Right

According to the report, Iran's anti-Semitic ideology not only manifests itself in propaganda within the country, but also influences Germany. That's an interesting claim. What would the linkage between Iran and the far-right in Germany committing 90% of anti-semitic crimes be? Are the far right in...

BM - welcome back. Try and refrain from trolling and stick to the topic at hand. (And go back and read what I posted first and Mel's reply.)

Re: 90% Anti-Semitic Crimes Germany By Far Right

Interesting that eh chose to leave out the part of the 2010 article which dealt with Germany: Germany, Russia and the Ukraine do not seem to have been affected by the trend in the West, and may even have seen a decrease in incidents for 2009, the report found. It is unclear if the difference is real...

Re: 2 Billion Dhs Debt 'wiped Out'

The article is a bit confusing - if the debts are to be still paid off by 25% of salary, then they haven't been wiped out, just transferred to the 'state' - unless I'm misunderstanding the explanation. Regardless, it does go to show that the fundamentals always apply - debt for consumption (rather t...

Re: 90% Anti-Semitic Crimes Germany By Far Right

Why do you always seem to resort to personal insults when confronted with facts? Strange that. This thread is about anti-Semitism in Germany and how 90% of the anti-Semitic attacks are by the far-right. Now, we know you are right-wing, perhaps that is behind your need to insult rather than address t...

Re: 2 Billion Dhs Debt 'wiped Out'

Benwj - that makes sense. But as the interest free loan is now with the state, the debt has been transferred and not wiped out (I presume the banks will be paid by the state to 'wipe out' the bank loan). You may be right about payments - but given that it will be taken from salaries, it appears they...

Still failing to back up your wild claims.

In the Pew surveys you brought up, the majority Muslims around the world were ag...

This thread is about the German report about the 90% of anti-Semitic attacks by right-wing Germans. The interesting thing is why the Tel Aviv report you quoted (from 2010) got it wrong about German anti-semitism. Given that Germany has over 4 million Muslims and only 26,000 far right members, it is ...

Agree with Dillon on pretty much all of his post above -- the NPT and the observation about the nuclear powers who haven't signed up, the sabre rattling and indeed the good wishes for the Iranian people.

Re: National Socialists (Nazi's): Left Or Right?

This is a curious argument.

On the one hand, it appears a legitimate historical question. The ...

Re: National Socialists (Nazi's): Left Or Right?

Bingo.

The Nazis having an official Christian church does NOT make them Christian. Their right wing ideology does make them right wing.

Current day Right wing pointing to some policies they view as left wing, does not make the Nazis left wing, any more than they are 'Christian'.

The main characteristics of ...
