Labor MK Shelly Yachimovich said on Tuesday she intends to shun German Chancellor Angela Merkel's speech before the Knesset plenum, in protest of what she called the "insensitive" decision to let her address the house in German. "Germany is our friend," Yachimovich said, "but in this day and age we should respect the survivors' injured soul." Israel Radio quoted Yachimovich as saying she would stay absent from the speech because it was "insensitive" toward Holocaust survivors to hold it in German, "the language of their torturers - SS officers, camp commanders and the Gestapo." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/965602.html Maybe Germany should discard their language altogether. What do you think?
The Jews that were murdered were German, spoke German and were born German. Why is it insensitive to have someone that speaks their national language shouldn't be allowed to do so. :shrug:
Your comment: Maybe Germany should discard their language altogether. Perfect riposte. Destroys her argument completely. But every parliament is going to have some firebrands. Even good MPs occasionally suggest something stupid. If the parliament agrees to this suggestion, then there is a problem, otherwise not.
Maybe you should forward your suggestion to the Knesset. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
i wonder if your hate for jews comes from religious belief, or just hatred. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Well, there's no question that modern jews are using the holocaust to gain political good for themselves. I'm sorry that Germany often is so PC to buy into it, however in this case the jew has gone insane.
mmmm...indeed. somebody should do something about them Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Shelly Yachimovich is an idiot. What language should a German leader speak? There is nothing wrong with German people or their language, I've had German friends.
she didnt said there is something wrong with it-she said its an insensitive decision in refer to the holocaust survivors as german was the language of their tormentors. i think that if you gonna criticize someone, you should first understand what he says. but as i said, i dont think this is really the real topic of this thread. no coincidence the thread opener put it on free thought instead of world events.
So, are jews such pussies they start crying or get upset whenever hearing anyone speaking German? Any rational person wouldn't connect language with the behaviour of some persons a lifetime ago.
