#1 “There is no other nation that Israel considers more of a friend that Germany ... I would be very happy if Germany participated,” he said.

....less the Horst Wessel song of course.

#3 What does Olmert have against Germany? Uh, never mind.

#4 It would be fitting for Germany to send 15,000 real soldiers to South Lebanon, fighting soldiers, who would have to battle Hizb'Allah and sometimes die while protecting Israel. Give them a 50-year UN "mandate" to hunt down and kill Islamofascists in Lebanon.

#5 Germany : Chancellor Merkel
France : President Chirac

Do we need to say anything else, people?

#7 At the very least they could provide the locals with much more accurate translations of the ever-popular "Mein Kampf."

You're talkin' some serious poetic justice there, Kalle. Bravo.

#9 Kalle pegged it. twobyfour, Chancellor Merkel has at least some ideas about backbones, and sometimes employs it appropriately. The next election in Germany should be interesting -- as I recall the Conservatives barely won last time, which really limited what Merkel could accomplish; the next election will reveal what the Germans really want to have done.

Chiraq, on the other hand, combines all the worst stereotypes of the French is one smarmy package.

#10 Yea, the irony doth drip heavily.

#11 Israel needs Peacekeepers that will be seen as non-partisan and who will actually do the job. Germany needs to prove they've moved beyond WW2.

German peacekeepers are a brilliant idea.
