Ob ich dem deutschen Volk innerhalb oder außerhalb unserer Grenzen beim Sterben zusehe, ändert nichts an der Tragik.

[ThomasRenneis]

@HerrWagnerfreund Auch eine Ansicht...vielleicht sollten sie sich überlegen auszuwandern wenn sie mit der hießigen Population so unzufrieden sind...

[HerrWagnerfreund]

Mein Herr, in einer Zeit, wo alle Arschkriecher sind und man sich jeden Satz fünfmal überlegen muß, um ja niemanden zu beleidigen, ist Populismus etwas Großartiges und Befreiendes.

I'm German and you're wrong.

Jews were an important part of German culture and history for at least 1500 years.

They even developed a new language, called Yiddish, which is a mix of ancient middle high German and Hebrew.

Jews were deeply rooted in Germany ... until this lunatic monster came along and destroyed it all within a few years.

Fortunately about 200.000 jews have already returned to Germany, and again we have some very popular Jews here.
