Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said migrants are a factor behind the rise of antisemitism in Germany, vowing to combat “this problem.”

    Typical CDU Nazi-Shit.

    Do we have antisemitic immigrants? Yes. Do we have racist Germans? Yes. Do we have antisemitic Germans? Also yes.

    CDU: Should we do something about the “bio”-German Nazis? Nah, let’s just blame foreigners, lest we offend our voter base or party members.

    And corrupt conservatives are an even bigger factor. Especially the ones that stoke the fires of fear and injustice.

    Again and again this flawed logic where you either approve of everything Israel does or you are an antisemite… it’s high time we start distinguishing between the country of Israel and people of Jewish descent (Jewish people should learn the distinction too, seeing how this “antisemite” argument has been repeated by Jewish communities outside Israel).

    As for Merz (and Germany, and Europe, and - alas - apparently the world in general), it’s a real shame that the moronic dichotomy of humanity into arbitrary “us” and “them” (and subsequent blaming of everything on “them”) is becoming mainstream rather than staying relegated to the far right (and groups of kids that bully other kids).

    Ironically, this is the same exact world vision that gave us that nazi-fascism that so thoroughly embraced antisemitism and so methodically acted on it.

      Hating on immigrants and ethnic minorities hardly started with the US and is far from an exclusively American problem.

    says the guy from a country known/infamous for thier anti-semitism.

    i think peoples misinterpretating this comment: im saying hes the one to talk calling people antisemties, when his country was the hotbed for it in the past. hence the word infamous.
