Dear Chaim,
I think your criticism of Germany today is misplaced. Germany is one of the best friends that Israel has in Europe. Germany is Israel’s largest European trading partner, it cooperates closely with Israel in the area of defense, intelligence and hi-tech R&D.
Newest addition to Israel’s navy are the latest German Dolphin-class submarines. Germany also supplied Israel with Mig-29 & T-72 tanks from GDR stock. The technical analysis of the seeker technology and engine solution of the Soviet missile AA-11, resulted in the development of the Israeli Python-4 and German IRIS-T air-to-air missile.
Latest Merkava MK 4 tank uses German 400 MTU-engines with Renk transmissions. Merkava’s 120mm smooth bore lethal gun was developed by German company Rheinmetall.
Israel is a trading nation and, as important, Germany is a key to trading and cooperating with Europe.
The problem is not that Germany supports Israel suicidal policies - all countries do. The problem is that the voting majority of Israeli Jews do. You can not expect Germans to be more pro-Israel than Jews who live there.

Shalom Chaim.
I can't remember the statistic you quoted. What % of schvartzas have criminal records? (I know it's high)

Shana Tova Chaim,
What ethnic background was Rav Meir Kahane, ZT"L, HY"D? Was he an Ashkenazi? I read somewhere that he was of Lithuanian descent. May you clarify this for me?
As always your a gentleman and a scholar.
Next year in Jerusalem!
