Merkel gov’t continues UN assault against Israel, snubbing German Jews
It’s like Germany is schizophrenic on the subject, on the one hand banning Hizb’allah and selling Israel nuclear (or is it nuclear-capable?) subs at a deep discount, on the other pulling this kind of nonsense.
[Jpost] Germany’s UN ambassador has voted again for an anti-Israel resolution, ignoring pleas from the nearly 100,000-member Central Council of Jews in Germany and the Jewish state to change its voting pattern.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean for the human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
organization Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Jerusalem Post: "Having Germany again vote for a UN Resolution labeling the Jewish people’s holiest site ‐ the Western Wall in Jerusalem along with Solomon’s Temple Mount and the historic Jewish Quarter of the Old City as ’occupied Paleostinian territory’ ‐ is an outrage and intolerable."

He continued, "It begs the question: Are these anti-Israel UN votes at the behest of the German Foreign Ministry? Does this vote reflect the views of Chancellor Merkel? If the answer is no, the German ambassador should be removed. If the answer is yes, we urge the chancellor to immediately order a review of its Middle East policy. No German government should ever be involved in delegitimizing Jewish history and presence in Jerusalem."

Germany’s government has engaged in an orgy of diplomatic attacks on the Jewish state over the last two years, including voting against Israel a total of eight times in November. Germany voted 16 times at the UN in 2018 to condemn Israel.

The November 19 resolution that Germany voted for, titled "The right of the Paleostinian people to self-determination," was sponsored by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Egypt, Nicaragua, Zim-bob-we and State of Paleostine. Egypt helped draft the resolution on "behalf of the State Members of the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
that are members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation," according to the resolution.

UN expert Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, wrote on Twitter in October that "Germany introduced 0 condemnations of China, Cuba, Pakistain, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
, Venezuela
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeds places like Honduras and El Salvador, and a significant proportion of the populace as refugeed to Colombia and points south...
, etc." He asked German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas why he is singling out Israel and ignoring repressive, closed nations for diplomatic rebukes.

After over 130 Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, rockets were fired on Israel in March, Germany’s UN ambassador Christoph Heusgen equated Israel’s counter-terrorism strategy with the US- and EU-designated terrorist entity Hamas: "Civilians must live without fear of Paleostinian rockets or Israeli bulldozers," said Heusgen.

Israel’s government says it only bulldozes the homes of Paleostinian terrorists.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center announced last month that it is considering including the anti-Israel comments made by Heusgen in its top 10 list of the worst outbreaks of antisemitic and anti-Israel activities in 2019. Heusgen has frequently used his bully pulpit at the UN to join the ongoing orgy of diplomatic targeting of the Jewish state for opprobrium.

The German Foreign Ministry told the Post that Heusgen is not antisemitic.

#2 I heard an answer to your question, 3dc, long time ago. And it stuck in my memory: "Whatever differences there are between Nazis & rest of Europeans - they're not in basic attitude toward the Jews". Or, I might add, Americans.

#4 Apropos schizophrenia:
WJC President Ronald S. Lauder awarded Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel with the Theodor Herzl Award on Monday. He said she was “the symbol of all that is good in post-war Germany.”

He called Angela Merkel “the icon of this incredible success” and said she was “the guardian of democracy, the guardian of civilization and the guardian of Europe”.

Lauder told Merkel she had always supported the Jewish community in Germany and stood by Israel. “You are a German leader who has become a one-person dam. A dam against instability. A dam against irrationality. A dam against extremism. A dam against hate. A dam against racism. A dam against antisemitism”, he said two days after he had visited the Synagogue of Halle.

#7 Thimp -- his point is Europeans are as anti-American as they are anti-Jewish. They've just had more time and opportunity to take out their failings on Jews.

#8 UN is so patently anti-Israel that it is a disgrace. But, maybe Jared Kuschner with his SCI clearance can get the real low-down on this.
