#2 I doubt it, MacNails. That's a particularly unpopular stance in those parts.

#4 I had to read the lede twice. I was expecting to read "solidarity" with Iran or some such orcish pest-hole. It has become shocking to me that anyone would demonstrate in favor of a liberal democracy.

#5 German guilt drives just about everything here. Or I should say, conspicuous public displays of guilt. Honestly, 700 isn't all that impressive as Berlin demonstrations go. But good for them.

#6 Agreed, exJAG. There may well have been a large sprinkling of Israelis taking part as well. For some reason I kept running into Israelis who'd settled in Germany; one of my doctors in Frankfurt for instance. And, they don't have the retiring turn of mind of so many of the European Jews.
