The following video shows an excerpt from the live-stream coverage of a protest during a recent visit to Dresden by Chancellor Angela Merkel. A large crowd of anti-immigration demonstrators — supporters of PEGIDA and AfD — gathered alongside the route to greet Mrs. Merkel with banners and shouted slogans.
Irony of ironies, while all this was going on, a breaking news report appeared on the crawl ribbon at the bottom of the screen about an Afghan with a knife who was terrorizing downtown Dresden (see “The Knife of Peace Comes to Dresden”).
Kind of says it all, doesn’t it?

For me, it’s sad to watch them lose their country and culture, but many Americans don’t have any sympathy for the Germans today, for what that country and culture did to the Jews.
[I disagree with you.]
There was a time Americans hated Germans for what they did to Jews.
That was a long time ago.
Today Americans hate Germans for what they are doing to themselves.
They hate Germans because Germans hate themselves.
Because Germans have lost their will to live.
Historically, you are right, but I am not sure if emotionally, the Americans were so compassionate with the Jews. It is a phenomenon I can not fathom, but why is it that Jews were and still are not welcome in many country clubs?
Where they would never apply, according to Groucho Marx.
That’s one rule Trump defied in his resort places: Jews allowed, always. And blacks, too, iirc.
I know many people who love and hang around Jews, and they still don’t like the Germans after all these years. Ask the Jews in the US if they feel sorry for the Germans right now and you’ll see.
It depends on how far left they are. American radical Jews don’t differ from other American radical leftists. In fact, they support BDS policies. Suicidal.
Yeah, I’d be a “radical Jew” too, if my whole family had been wiped out. I don’t care how long ago it was.
So you’d be in favor of the BDS against Israel, often promoted by radical American Jews? Can you elucidate the consistency of your position in this suicidal activism?
We cannot let Germany fall…The German people have no voice…if they speak out against the invasion they are called NAZI…
Is it so wrong to want to protect your own culture
We are suppressed … those that want to speak out
Keep suppressing and we will react against the states…
