I was very happy to know that Frankfurt has the first Jewish mayor since the holocaust. Twenty percent of Germans are still antisemitic, non Israel related and one fifth of the young people do not know about Auschwitz. I do not feel the Germans should feel guilty. They have come a long way, but they should know about the holocaust and educated Germans do, just as Americans should know about slavery and at the same time we feel bad, not feel guilty. The idea is to restore, not dwell on the past and move on. I have to say that I was proud of Mitt Romney for speaking to the NAACP and as Wolf Blitzer said, "where was Obama?" I am not saying that I think Romney is a great politician. Maybe they are both bad or good. I do not know what I think now about our government and what is good or bad for it. I am just going to be at peace with it.
There was an article on a fb friend's wall about it now being illegal for Jews and Muslims to have their sons circumcised in Germany. I have no comment on circumcision, but I think that may be a ploy to get rid of the Jews and Muslims in Germany.
There is no such thing as Aryan in the way that the Nazis used the term. It actually means Iranian or Persian. Aryan white... is a made up fictitious theory that Hitler and the Nazis made up. The only place it exists is in white supremacy minds and in prison, where now they became so violent that any prisoner putting the white Aryan brotherhood tattoos on will be put in permanent lock down.
Believe it or not there are Nazi sympathizers today, and this I find disturbing. They are distributed around the world, and it is a bad thing.
This was not as well written as many of my other articles, because I was a bit frustrated when my first draft I had begun completely disappeared. But, at least it goes about saying what it was I wanted to say.
