Title: What do people here think of Germans?
Post by: mainestategop on October 08, 2008, 04:19:41 PM
I was wondering what people here on JTF thinks of Germans in general. I noticed a lot of resentment against them, no doubt due to the holocaust and World War II. I was also wondering if it is okay for Jews and righteous gentiles like myself to attend Oktoberfest? Theres a church down in Augusta celebrating and was invited to attend.

Pheasant is a righteous German--from Germany, in fact--but 99.8% of Teutons, at least in their own land, are scum of the earth to this day. Few European nations and their publics are as committed to Hamas, Hezbollah, and "land for peace".

On the other hand, in my experience most German-Americans are not bad at all.

I believe that German's represent the largest nationality in America.   Something like 30%.

BTW, German central Europe has an extraordinary history, that shouldn't be trivialized by what Hitler did.  I think that there is evil everywhere... and because of ignorance and extraordinary circumstances, evil can gain political control.

Just like with Obama... many who support him... arent evil, they are ignorant.  They just don't think its even a possibility that Obama has been a member of a Black supremacist Church.  I dont think its fair to say that the USA is evil if he is elected.  We are just ignorant and are fearful, which is what both Obama and Hilter feed upon.

I have to disagree. The history of Germany and the Teutonic people is one of satanic racism (derived from their pagan Odinism) and malevolent anti-Semitism--which did not start with, but was certainly typified by, Martin Luther some 500 years ago (and 400 years before Hitler ys"vz). Adolf Hitler won with nearly 100% of the German popular vote in a free and unfettered election (remember, this was Weimar Germany at the time--a completely modern and fair constitutional democracy) specifically because he campaigned on the issue of anti-Semitism and promised to put a stop to the horrible Jews who were swindling the German Gentiles and "enslaving" them. The German public just ate this up. They had never had a candidate before who said so very openly everything they had always felt and wished for.

Americans for Obama, on the other hand, are divided between those who are truly evil and are voting for him because they know what he stands for (i.e. all his black and Arab supporters and at least a third of his white supporters) and those who are stupid, selfish, greedy, and ignorant and support him because they actually believe John McCain and Sarah Palin are responsible for the bank meltdown and think that Obama will bring "change". So, I think it's apples and oranges.

It depends on the individual. We cherish righteous people of all races and creeds and religions and nations.

We hate evil people and evil behavior.

As far as Germany..they perpetrated the most horrible murderous actions against the Jews murdering 6 MILLION!!!!!!!  Till this day they are unapologetic about it since they support Islamic nations and encourage Israel to surrender...therefore, Germany as a nation, JTF will never forgive nor forget.

But once again, individual Germans who are righteous, we love like brothers..IT's a person by person basis.

I do not have a problem with German people per se, particularly those who were not around during the war.  I am somewhat more suspicious of Germans who may have been tainted by the period.  I do try however, to be fair with people.  So I don't have a real problem with Germans.

On the other hand, I do have a problem with Germany.  Because it was Germany as an entity that our people, our language, and our culture.  I think Germany will be forever cursed for what it did to Jewry.  How does this translate into day to day life?  I choose not to invest in Germany, or visit it, or celebrate its festivals.  I neither forget nor forgive Germany, nor will I ever.  

This may seem abstract because like I said, I don't have a problem with German people.  But that is for me to deal with.

I disagree.  Again... ALL of Europe and Russia was horrifically anti-semitic in its past.  Russia was in my opinion the worst. 
However... Germany was by far the most accepting of Jews in Central Europe around the turn of the century, and this is why so many Jews emigrated there during this time (which is one of the horrific ironies of the Third Reich)

My grandmother's family lived in Germany before its collapse, and they had fairly good treatment there, as compared with their previous generation, that lived in Russia.

By the way, to this day.... I will always be skeptical of any nationalist move coming from Germany or Russia  I can't say that about any other western country.

I think there is a curse, because of the holocaust. It is obvious.

The majority of the people seem to be unable to live without big gouvernment and socialism. And this attitude always to tell people what they have to do. Even to tell the Israeli gouvernment, after all what happened, what is the proper way. It is shameless.

Imo all this problems, that Europe in general and Germany particular have are founded in the fundamental rejection of God and in the twisting of the natural economic order.

They have a lot of weird ideas how to redistribute the wealth, how to do social engeneering, how to force people what they have to believe and they think this will bring them the garden of eden in this world.

But through this they have broken western civilisation and have created a zoo.

Even a lot of people who reject Islam, are doing this not because it is insane and criminal, but because Islam, of course only theoretically and outwardly, is rejecting immoral behaviour.

I really don't know whom I despise more. The murder-muslims or the gay, prostitution & feminist leftist activists who fight against it in order to fight for their immoral behaviour.

I have given up to convince people about this. My loyality to this bolschewist state is zero.

I'm part German and I'm proud of my heritage. My German ancestors came here to TX in 1845 and there are lots of people with my surname in TX now. There even used to be a dialect of German called Texas German, which is mostly a dead language now, but some people are trying to archive it so it won't be completely lost to history. Sometimes there are still a lot of festivals in New Braunfels, where most German immigrants passed through when they came to TX. I'd love to go to Oktoberfest if it was a family-friendly event, but I dont' think it would be good to go to some of those festivals if they're just an excuse for people to drink. I went to an Italian festival once even though I'm not Italian, and earlier in the day it was great and family friendly but by the afternoon it became a crowd of drunks, so if you go to a festival choose your festival and time wisely.

There's a lot of good stuff in German history like literature (Goethe, Grimm fairy tales, etc.), inventions (like the printing press for one) classical music (Handel, Bach, etc.), modern music (Kraftwerk) art, (http://www.artcyclopedia.com/nationalities/German.html)  scientists and engineers, etc. It also has some great food (who doesn't like pretzels?) Also as people mentioned there are really wonderful JTFers on here from that country!

The Holocaust was absolutely horrible, possibly the worst thing that ever happened in history! There's absolutely no excuse for that, and I'm sure that's why the nation of Germany and many other areas of Europe are being punished by God. God is allowing the Muslims and socialists to take over probably because of the sins of European nations. I grieve for the fact that the German nation and other Europeans sinned so badly and hurt and killed so many people, and that they are being punished now.

Likewise, I grieve for the fact that America is being punished and that America sinned. America and other Allies could have done something to stop the Holocaust but they didn't. America and the Allies could have bombed the rail lines, or even the death camps themselves, stopping the murder of Jews and other people there. They let that go on. Chaim has talked about this on his show before, about how the Allies failed to stop the Holocaust in progress and turned their back on the Jews. Another grave sin that America has committed involves the millions of innocent babies that are murdered every year through abortion. God can't look at that and pretend it didn't happen. So even America has done horrible things that deserve harsh punishment from God.

My hope is that all Western nations will one day turn their face to God and begin behaving in a righteous manner, so that God will lift the curses from us and begin to bring blessings instead.

The first step in turning this situation around for the West (America and Germany included) is to pray for and to bless Israel as best we can. We must begin to support Israel and we must fight worldwide anti-Semitism. This will merit God's blessings, and more importantly, it's the right thing to do.

We must also do all we can to protect the innocent and weak, whether they are babies in the womb, disabled people, or our elderly. The way we treat the weakest and most helpless among us is a mark of our civilization and we must strive to be kind and generous.

I think the example that Germany gave the world is that even the most civilized nations can turn absolutely evil. No nation should ever consider themselves safe from corruption or safe from evil leadership or think they're too good to be punished by God for evil actions. America has a lot to learn from Germany's example. Tamar Yonah in one broadcast of hers mentioned that some of the Jewish families didn't believe what was going on in Germany at first because they thought they lived in a civilized and good society. Don't ever assume that even the best countries are immune from evil people taking over.

Right now we have a horrible person who wants to lead our country in America and his name is Barack Hussein Obama. This monster (and he is a monster) wants to destroy Israel. He wants to pursue Jewish blood and he wants to also extend the murder of millions of babies. He doesn't even want a baby born alive to be saved if they survive an abortion.

This monster will bring horrible punishment upon the United States. Please do all you can fight him or we will have learned nothing from what happened to Germany.

t_h_j,

I just checked wikipedia {we know that their statistics are questionable, but lets assume they are correct}...

DateVotesPercentageSeats in ReichstagBackground
May 19241,918,3006.532Hitler in prison
December 1924907,3003.014Hitler is released from prison
May 1928810,1002.612
September 19306,409,60018.3107After the financial crisis
July 193213,745,80037.4230After Hitler was candidate for presidency
November 193211,737,00033.1196
March 193317,277,00043.9288During Hitler's term as Chancellor of Germany

According to this chart it seems the maximum popular vote was 43.9 percent in 1933 . I am not a big fan of Germany and it seems anti-semitism is once again on the rise there. I hope that this is not something about the German people as a whole. As others have said, there is evil everywhere.

More on this issue:

CF may have a point, at a certain time Hitler recieved 84.6% of the electorate. Though at this time he was already using his paramilitary squads to eliminate his opposition.

Again from Wikipedia:


President Paul von Hindenburg died on 2 August 1934. Rather than holding new presidential elections, Hitler's cabinet passed a law proclaiming the presidency dormant and transferred the role and powers of the head of state to Hitler as Führer und Reichskanzler (leader and chancellor). Thereby Hitler also became supreme commander of the military, whose officers then swore an oath not to the state or the constitution but to Hitler personally.[48] In a mid-August plebiscite, these acts found the approval of 84.6% of the electorate.[49] This action technically violated both the constitution and the Enabling Act. The constitution had been amended in 1932 to make the president of the High Court of Justice, not the chancellor, acting president until new elections could be held. The Enabling Act specifically barred Hitler from taking any action that tampered with the presidency. However, no one dared object. With this action, Hitler effectively removed the last remedy by which he could be dismissed from office—and with it, all checks and balances on his power.


I dont know if this was a fair election as at the time his use of violence was well established.

However, some people have referred to Hitler's legacy in neutral or favourable terms. Former Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat spoke of his 'admiration' of Hitler in 1953, when he was a young man, though it is possible he was speaking in the context of a rebellion against the British Empire.[257] Louis Farrakhan has referred to him as a "very great man".[258] Bal Thackeray, leader of the right-wing Hindu Shiv Sena party in the Indian state of the Maharashtra, declared in 1995 that he was an admirer of Hitler.[259] Friedrich Meinecke, the German historian quotes of Hitler, "It is one of the great examples of the singular and incalculable power of personality in historical life".[260]

Don't let us debate about the exact numbers. Here are the election results of 1932:

Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - Hitlerbewegung (NSDAP)    37,3 %  Nationalist Socialist Antisemites
Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD)    21,6 % Socialists
Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD)    14,3 % Socialists
Deutsche Zentrumspartei (Zentrum)    12,4 % Catholic civically
Deutschnationale Volkspartei (DNVP)    5,9 % Nationalist Socialist Antisemites
Bayerische Volkspartei (BVP)    3,2 %  Civically
Deutsche Volkspartei (DVP)    1,2 %  Real liberal
Deutsche Staatspartei (DStP)    1,0 %  liberal perhaps a little bit leftist, but ok
Christlich-Sozialer Volksdienst (CSVD)    1,0 % protestant christian mixed up with socialism and nationalism
Reichspartei des deutschen Mittelstandes    0,4 % national liberal
Deutsche Bauernpartei (DBP)    0,4 % Farmer party
Landbund    0,3 %    rightwing farmer party
Deutsches Landvolk    0,3 % center Farmer Party
Reichspartei für Volksrecht und Aufwertung (Volksrechtpartei)    0,1 %    Anti inflation Party

If I have added the numbers rightly, the parties a sane person could vote for got under 20% of the whole votes.

I think I would have voted for DVP:

But they only got 1,2 % of the vote :-(

I found this entry on Wikipedias page on Hisler about his religious beliefs. It is very interesting and conflicts with the popular notion that he was an occultist or atheist...


Hitler was raised by Roman Catholic parents, but after he left home, he never attended Mass or received the sacraments,[261] In private (not in public) Hitler made at least one attack against Catholicism that "resonated Streicher's contention that the Catholic establishment was allying itself with the Jews."[262] However, as Richard Steigmann-Gall points out when explaining the institutional particularities of religion in Nazi Germany; In Germany, a country in which the Catholic and the Protestant church are largely financed through a church tax collected by the state, Hitler (like Goebbels) never "actually left his church or refused to pay church taxes. In a nominal sense therefore [he] can be classified as Catholic."[263]

Hitler often praised Christian heritage, German Christian culture, and professed a belief in Jesus Christ.[264] In his speeches and publications Hitler spoke of Christianity as a central motivation for his antisemitism, stating that "As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."[265][266] His private statements, as reported by his intimates, are more mixed, showing Hitler as a religious man but critical of traditional Christianity.[267] However, in contrast to early Nazi ideologues, Hitler did not adhere to esoteric ideas, occultism, or Ariosophy,[267] and ridiculed such beliefs in Mein Kampf.[268][269] Rather, Hitler advocated a "Positive Christianity",[268][270] a belief system purged from what he objected to in traditional Christianity, and which reinvented Jesus as a fighter against the Jews.

Hitler believed in Arthur de Gobineau's ideas of struggle for survival between the different races, among which the "Aryan race"—guided by "Providence"—was supposed to be the torchbearers of civilization. In Hitler's conception Jews were enemies of all civilization.

Hitler, despite his native Catholicism, favored aspects of Protestantism if they were more amenable to his own objectives. At the same time, he adopted some elements of the Catholic Church's hierarchical organization, liturgy and phraseology in his politics.[271][272]

Hitler expressed admiration for the Muslim military tradition. According to one confidant, Hitler stated in private, "The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness..."[273]



I think the man was messed up no matter what religion he professed. He had no morals and would seem to be a descendant of Amalek himself. Amalek believed that he had a job to make life miserable for the Jews. Hisler made this his same goal.

Ralph2,

I think it shows that I am not totally against Germany. My step-father drove a VW Schirocco and he is of german Jewish lineage. I dont have any animosity against the German people while some Jews will not even drive a VW or a Mercedes because of its Nazi past.

I am Jewish. I LOVE Germans and the German culture. I am a big big fan of German philosophy. I think that only a great nation could have given the world such great thinkers. It's not a matter of coincidence, in my opinion, that Germans have the best composers in the world as well. I think that there is a connection between great philosophy and great musicality in a nation. You need both very sophisiticated thinking and a bit of craziness, if you will. If you are totally rational, you will never create great music and great philosophy. This is why, in the question of who is the greatest nation in the world - the French or the Germans - I give the priority to Germans. The French are too rational for my taste. This is purely my opinion. If someone says that the French are the greatest nation in the world, I won't argue. I would see why they think so. The British and the Italians come very close second after the French and the Germans - again, my opinion.

But what about the Holocaust, you might say. How can a Jew love and admire the Germans after what they did to the Jews? I'll tell you. By the same logic, I would have to hate most of other European nations. Ukrainians, Poles, Latvians are not less antisemitic than the Germans. If anything - it's more. It's just that they were not as well organazied and clever as Germans to start exterminating the Jews on such a grand scale. If they could, THEY WOULD!!! The world's irrational hatred of the Jews is unfortunate. It's the work of the Devil, the way I understand the concept of the Devil. G-d will punish the evil Jew killers - I have no doubt about it. But the great works of art and pinnacles of thought in our great European culture are inspired by G-d! Contemplating and admiring these creations brings me closer to G-d.

I learn a little bit of German in my free time, I hope eventually to be able to read Kafka or a Grimm folk-tail.

CF may have a point, at a certain time Hitler recieved 84.6% of the electorate. Though at this time he was already using his paramilitary squads to eliminate his opposition.

Again from Wikipedia:


President Paul von Hindenburg died on 2 August 1934. Rather than holding new presidential elections, Hitler's cabinet passed a law proclaiming the presidency dormant and transferred the role and powers of the head of state to Hitler as Führer und Reichskanzler (leader and chancellor). Thereby Hitler also became supreme commander of the military, whose officers then swore an oath not to the state or the constitution but to Hitler personally.[48] In a mid-August plebiscite, these acts found the approval of 84.6% of the electorate.[49] This action technically violated both the constitution and the Enabling Act. The constitution had been amended in 1932 to make the president of the High Court of Justice, not the chancellor, acting president until new elections could be held. The Enabling Act specifically barred Hitler from taking any action that tampered with the presidency. However, no one dared object. With this action, Hitler effectively removed the last remedy by which he could be dismissed from office—and with it, all checks and balances on his power.


I dont know if this was a fair election as at the time his use of violence was well established.

However, some people have referred to Hitler's legacy in neutral or favourable terms. Former Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat spoke of his 'admiration' of Hitler in 1953, when he was a young man, though it is possible he was speaking in the context of a rebellion against the British Empire.[257] Louis Farrakhan has referred to him as a "very great man".[258] Bal Thackeray, leader of the right-wing Hindu Shiv Sena party in the Indian state of the Maharashtra, declared in 1995 that he was an admirer of Hitler.[259] Friedrich Meinecke, the German historian quotes of Hitler, "It is one of the great examples of the singular and incalculable power of personality in historical life".[260]


that's more like an approval rating.  In actual reichstag elections, he never had a majority.

My thoughts, I don't have problems with Germans because I have some German blood from my moms side, my cousins/uncles on her side are German and I consider them my family. They are proud of their German heritage but not of Hitlers legacy or the swastika.

I noticed how Germans write English very well and speak it well, but with a thick German accent.
I also understand that Americans can go to Germany without having to learn the language of the third empire.

My grandfather left Germany when Hitler won in 1933.  He said when he grew up that many Jews had come to Germany because it treated the Jews better than any other nation.  Jews were scapegoated throughout Europe but Hitler was the first modern age leader to make anti-semitism a national agenda rather than periodically having pogroms.  That's why Ahmedinijad is so dangerous because he is using the exact same language as Hitler.

Our new-found friends, the North Koreans, are in the habit (according to the BBC) of routinely rounding up the families of offenders, and using them for biological experiments. Now, what were we saying about the Germans?

Personally I once married into a family of expatriate SA Germans, who unlike most of their fellow countrymen had not suddenly seen the error of their ways at the end of the war. The insisted that the basic choice facing them in the election which voted in Hitler was to vote for either Hitler or the Communists. They reacted in the way in which many of us would react. Jews were not considered an issue - too many of them had fought alongside their fellow Germans in the trenches. If there was an issue, other than the Communists, it was the dismemberment of Germany following World War 1 in the Treaty of Versailles, which even Lloyd George said at the time would lead to a Second World War.

By the way, the Welsh have the same name for the English as for the Saxons - they are the same people. Enjoy the Oktoberfest. Remember that the British and the Germans once enjoyed Christmas Eve celebrations together along a 250 km. front in the trenches, until those in charge ordered them back to carry on killing each other. Hardly anyone then or now knew what the war was about, other than blind patriotism.

It is right that the atrocities of the Second World War should be remembered, but what we are remembering is the failings of ordinary people such as ourselves.

I was also wondering if it is okay for Jews and righteous gentiles like myself to attend Oktoberfest? Theres a church down in Augusta celebrating and was invited to attend.

Why would us Jews have any resentments against Germans???   >:( >:(  That is absurd.  Not only did they mastermind and carry out the massacre of 6,000,000 Jews, they are still trying to do the same thing today indirectly, by helping and supporting Islamic regimes against Israel.

Muman, I don't think we should bother wasting time arguing with a Pat Buchanan supporter, particularly on this issue.

However, for the record, here is a quote from Norman Davies' Europe: A History (New York: Oxford University Press, 1996), page 969, on the subject:

Quote from: Norman Davies
In October (1933) Hitler organized a plebiscite to approve Germany's withdrawal from the League of Nations and from the Disarmament Conference. He received 96.3 per cent support. In August 1934, following the President's death, he called another plebiscite to approve his own elevation to the new party-state position of 'Fuhrer and Reich-Chancellor' with full emergency powers. This time he received 90 per cent support... Hitler's democratic triumph exposed the true nature of democracy. Democracy has few values of its own: it is as good, or as bad, as the principles of the people who operate it. In the hands of liberal and tolerant people, it will produce a liberal and tolerant government; in the hands of cannibals, a government of cannibals. In Germany in 1933-4 it produced a Nazi government because the prevailing culture of Germany's voters did not give priority to the exclusion of gangsters.

Cf, for the record, you just proved yourself to be ignorant again.  How is him receiving 96.3% support for withdrawing from the league the same as "Adolf Hitler won with nearly 100% of the German popular vote in a free and unfettered election"?

Of course not. The Nazi leaders were a bunch of thugs. I'm just wishing to explain the behaviour of ordinary people who found themselves involved as party to the Holocaust. If you believe that all Germans are genetic monsters then, OK, there is nothing to discuss. If you don't share that view, then there are points involved which we would all do well to ponder. It took Pearl Harbour, not the Jewish issue, to get the USA involved.

To be honest, I think that most British such as myself, with any perception of history, are still wary of the Germans. It will take a generation or two before this disappears. I am also suspicious of the young French and other Europeans of the former Allied countries who deride any special relationship with the UK, conferring this to an older generation and to history. This is just ignorance. If 6 million of my own people had been destroyed by the Germans then I would also be permanently embittered. However, I have to say that the Allied powers, the RCC, the Red Cross and the ordinary people of many of the occupied countries also showed very little concern for what was happening. The railroad to Auchwitz seems to have been one of the few structures left intact by the end of the war.

I believe in many ways culture proceeds from race, though individuals can always make a different choice. I wouldn't be who I am today if I weren't part of the white race and didn't have the heritage I hold. Maybe I wouldn't be as interested in science for example if I didn't have ancestors that came from a nation with many scientists.

Not necessarily. I consider myself an American and I don't agree with a lot of things in American culture of the last several decades, but I'm still proud to be an American.

I think I understand where you're coming from, but I think condemning an entire ethnicity for the actions that happened within a very short span of time during that nation's history is wrong too. I mean nobody likes it when Jewish people as a whole are blamed for someone like George Soros. Does he make you less proud to be Jewish? He shouldn't, he's an evil man with an agenda that is hurting a lot of people, but he doesn't represent Jewish people as a whole.

It makes me sad to think of the French nation being lost so completely. I knew a girl named Claude who lived in Marseilles who came over when I was a teenager to live with someone across the street as some sort of student-travel program for a little while and we got along with each other really well. She was studying to be a lawyer in France. I bet she's got her work cut out for her! Later on she sent me a letter saying she'd gotten married, etc.

There were good things in French culture that not everyone knows about, and not just the amazing culinary creations.

This nation has had great people. Jean Calvin was a Frenchman, as well as Alexis de Toqueville, George Bernanos, Antoine de Saint Excupery, Thomas de Aquin, Michel de Montaigne,  etc.

Yes, but they are unreliable as allies. If mad King Louis in the 1400's hadn't withdrawn his knights from the army of Glyndwr then all you lot would now be speaking Welsh.

rubeystars :

"I believe in many ways culture proceeds from race, though individuals can always make a different choice. I wouldn't be who I am today if I weren't part of the white race and didn't have the heritage I hold. Maybe I wouldn't be as interested in science for example if I didn't have ancestors that came from a nation with many scientists."

what race ? "whites" are no diffrent "race" ,  slavonic people come from a ancient nation called riphat in hebrew , and vivendi in greek ... used to live in asia minor untill they left for europe ... scandinevians are from a nation we call ashkenaz , and the assyrians knew them as "askusa" . they came from the van and don rivers whom their early tribes lived near in ancient times

huns , scythians ... they come from mesopotamia , subartu ... they are closer to black people's culture as sumerians then what you would call white people ...

geogrigians come from a people called meshek ,  which actually originated mainly in the caucsus

all this people's who are "white" come's from various cultures and places , and are not of the same branch of people ,

would you say that the spartans were greek ?
spartans , did not saw themselves as greeks , but as people of avraham ... sons of ketura

italians ?

its a nation we called in ancient times "Irum"  , which originate from esav !!!! , they mixed with the tyranus people , the same nation whom from came the palestines ... and formed the roman people ...

spanish ? .... they are phonicians who build a land called tharshish in southern spain ... they called it shpania , which later changed to modern word spain ...the basq people are another branch of tyanus people , whom are mainly called by modern scholars as "sea peoples"

not everything is what it seems , and if you'll explore the actuall history of each and every white culture you will see they all come from diffrent places ...

and even if you consider all whites to be a race , is that mean that black people and chienese are diffrent somehow ?
all people come from noah ... this is my belive ... i'm not darwinistic and i dont belive there are human races ... there is genetic links ... indeed , that doesn't make you a race ... each family would be a race if that was the case .... all humans look diffrent from one place to another , not because they are diffrent race , but because their enviroment , changed their apearances over time , cold places caused less melanin which caused brighter colours , hot places caused more melanin which caused darker colours .... this is not just what science think , its the same thing written in jewish sources , knowlege given by g-d .... all peoples look diffrent from place to place  because the the diffrent enviroment from place to place

so to me, the only thing defining what you call "Race" , is their seperate cultures and particularities .

-
"Not necessarily. I consider myself an American and I don't agree with a lot of things in American culture of the last several decades, but I'm still proud to be an American."

americans did not have one single culture , they had few cultrues which fougth each other , and one won ...
and inside america there are millions of diffrent cultures ... because its made of percentages of other people's who came to live togheter .... i'm not speaking about country's here , but of nationality , culture of a group of people

would you say being an "American" is a nationality on its own ?
isn't every group of people in america call it self "italian american "/" irish american " , etc ?
this is the way it is precived outside usa , just letting you know heh

can you say someone is "italian german" for instance ?
i dont think so , its two diffrent nationalities...

"I think I understand where you're coming from, but I think condemning an entire ethnicity for the actions that happened within a very short span of time during that nation's history is wrong too."

really ? .... in that short span of time , all their nation was determined to annihilate jews ...and they killed more jews then all jews ever killed on history ... and during this short span of time they did not changed their mind even once , they tried to kill jews for a "short span of time" , because thats the time which took them to be defeated , if it was up to them , they would've wanted to  continue killing jews untill there were no jews .

the build up wasn't in that short span of time , but many many years ..as well .


" I mean nobody likes it when Jewish people as a whole are blamed for someone like George Soros. Does he make you less proud to be Jewish? He shouldn't, he's an evil man with an agenda that is hurting a lot of people, but he doesn't represent Jewish people as a whole."

i donno who he is , but whatever , you cannot compare indevidual acts , to an act done by a complete majority of an entire  nation

they all were nazi's , not just hitler .
-

"What about the Germans who hid Jews during the Holocaust or helped them escape, and were subsequently punished for it? Are they righteous Gentiles even if they were, for example, Catholics?"

like i already said in the former message
"i cannot say that there were no good german people , but there weren't enough , not by a long shot .... "


if those catholics saved jewish kids only to raise them christians (like some did !) , they were not rightoes to me , if they did it to save jews , then yes , they were rightues in that act


i dont deny that there were good germans , i'm just saying ... they were not even a minority , if your talking in numbers , they almost didn't exist , compare to the size of the whole german nation residing in germany in those days .


so because of some good arabs , we should stop hating al qaida ?

Hebrew I disagree with you and I believe that whites are related to one another on a genetic level. I consider the white race to be extended family, some more closely related than others. Of course if you go back far enough all people are related to one another.

I'm proud to be white and I'm proud to be of German and Irish/English/Scottish heritage. My genes are typical of whites in America and I think America, when it was made up of people like me, and even people of other European ethnicities like Italians, was doing pretty darn well for itself. It's when all the nonwhites started pouring in that it all went to hell.

Of course there are good people of all races and nations, but I really prefer homogeneity. I'd like for the United States to go back to a white, European-based culture. Not based on modern Europe but more like the values the founding fathers had.

"Hebrew I disagree with you and I believe that whites are related to one another on a genetic level."

you can disagree with me all you want , i am right however , and will gladly prove it to you point by point if you want

all nations are related to each other in genetic level ...so your correct , but not all white people are of the same branch of people , this is wrong
your not the same as a scandinevian , they are a whole diffrent people  , for exemple .... the reason your both white , is because both of you lived in a very cold enviroment .... some nations in europe , comes directly out of black cultures ....like the sumerians ... i mean , just check their own legends ... they huns say they came from "nimrodus" (sumer!)  ... the magyar people comes from lydia ! this nations later mixed , with slavonic race called sarmatians , to form the hungarians you now know , WHICH STILL BY THE WAY , speak a type of sumerian ... hungarian and gerogian evolved out of sumerian ....they are the spoken lenguages used to understand and decode the sumerian lenguage ... etc .
i can go on and on about any "race" you choose

to be perfectly honest , most of this races only contact with eachother , was that most of them eventually reached the caucasus  , or asia minor , or war .... in ancient times ...

" I consider the white race to be extended family,some more closely related than others. Of course if you go back far enough all people are related to one another."

well , they are all family , cuz all of humans are family ..
but i tell you what ...  if arabs wouldn't mix with eygptians and other black people in aden ... they would all look very white to you .


"I'm proud to be white"

i never asked you not to be , i'm only explaining to you how people actually became white or black ...


" and I'm proud to be of German and Irish/English/Scottish heritage. "
ok ... just for the humor of it

scots conquared their land from the original europians who lived there which were called "picts" , the scots are actually "scythians" , from subarto , in mesopotamia ! .
the british have a name in celtic called cimry , this must be connected to Gomer /gimru , aka the kremerians , Celtic tribe who lived on the northen boarders of assyria until the 6 century bc , after wards he left to europe ,  who probably mixed with the saxons ... who was kicked out of scandinevia by the tribes of the modern scandinevians , who invaded from the region now called armenia (back in those days , kingdom of mini , and kingdom of ararat)
your not the same people man , you all came from diffrent places

"My genes are typical of whites in America and I think America, when it was made up of people like me, and even people of other European ethnicities like Italians, was doing pretty darn well for itself. It's when all the nonwhites started pouring in that it all went to hell."

it has nothing to do with what we discuss  , i dont have any problems with "whites" , judging by the mirror , i'm white .
and as far as i know, its whites who brougth the blacks there , they didn't came on their own .


"Of course there are good people of all races and nations, but I really prefer homogeneity. I'd like for the United States to go back to a white, European-based culture. Not based on modern Europe but more like the values the founding fathers had."

ok , indians would probably say the same hehe
look , i belive americans should do whats good for america
i'm israeli , i want to do what is good for israel ...the top priority is kicking out my enemies out of my land , and bringing all the jews back here and of course , creating a toranical state

your last message kind off went off tracks ... i wasn't saying nothing against white people
i understand your proud german ... i am proud hebraic  , and as such i cannot just look away and forget ...

btw , if your american i asume your family had nothing to do with it , so ... i cannot blame you for somthing you didnt do ...and wouldn't dream of doing that , but if you say your a proud german ...then obviously you see yourself as a part of the all german nation/culture .


just one exemple , two jews tried to poision the waters of german cities in early years after the holocaust ... if they would succed , you would probably be sad , right ? ....

rest my point (i wouldn't )

some of the bastards who killed jews , still live there today .

I agree with that! I think Islam breeds a special hatred all to its own. Whether German or not, it doesn't matter as much as  how you treat one another. As I remember there were Germans who didn't agree with Hitler and risked their lives to rescue Jewish people. Similarly, as much as I hate Islam, my country is looking at a possible Islamic president, which doesn't represent my beliefs. I pray he doesn't get in because I don't think he will help protect the Jewish people. I pray he is not elected. He doesn't represent this American!

I have a tremendous respect for the culture, work ethic, innovation and genius of the  German people. If I can, I prefer to buy German-made products over any other (except from Italy and Israel) and I am ready to pay extra for their quality. I welcome German and Israel cooperation in trade and defense. I think Germany is the best European partner that Israel has right now.
Having said this, I do feel uncomfortable when I hear German speech and feel uncomfortable when among Germans/Austrians. I am very uneasy when I see old Germans who were a part of the 3rd Reich and subliminally wish them ill. I do not hold any grudges against Germans who were born after the War and generally like them. I've never been to Germany (I visited Austria few times) and am not inclined to go there except on business. I would never live in Germany.

He was probably just trolling. That's a typical troll type of question to ask on a Jewish message board. At least it turned out for the positive in my opinion, it let people discuss their views and no big arguments started.  8)

Future topics I expect are things like "What do people here think of Greenland?"

Actually there was one recently on "What do people here think of the Portuguese?", but I don't recall the response.

There are three major branches of humanity, whites, Asians, and blacks, and smaller branches like Australoids and Pacific Islanders. The continents did have migrations of people who mixed somewhat with the indigenous peoples however the white race evolved in Europe. The paintings in Lascaux were done by white people thousands of years ago.

Anyway I would only be sad if the people who were poisoned were innocent and good people. If they were really Nazis then no I wouldn't be sad about that.

If only there had been armed Jews like that before the war, there wouldn't have been a Shoah. Instead, 95% of Jews, religious and secular alike, believed that it was their duty to obey Hitler and be good Jewish citizens. Jabotinsky's common sense was completely rejected. So, 6.5 million Jews were exterminated like insects without a fight.

White skulls are different from Asian or Negro skulls. Different types of white skulls are more similar to one another than to those of other races. Whatever invasions happened they were layered on top of an indigenous population. I believe you that there were movements of genes and people from the Middle East or other places at different points but there was also an indigenous European population there.

As for Japanese their closest genetic relatives are Koreans followed by Chinese and the skulls tell the same story. Even if Japanese generally hate anyone in Asia not Japanese  :laugh: Hey that's a healthy type of hatred though, it keeps them Japanese!

lol its written in the former message what they call "Tanach" , i actually wrote  what they call o-l-d t-es-tam-ent

just tthougth i should fix it if it gave the wrong impression
-


"White skulls are different from Asian or Negro skulls. Different types of white skulls are more similar to one another than to those of other races. "

still , its not just a europian feature , and you asume that this feature occured during a long time , that is not correct , there is in fact a very intresting find in chienese archeology , they found ancient chienese , which were resemling europian features (some even suggests this might be a europian ancestor )

"Whatever invasions happened they were layered on top of an indigenous population.I believe you that there were movements of genes and people from the Middle East or other places at different points but there was also an indigenous European population there."

your right , there was , in the neolithic period(but they probably went to europe from the cradle of civilization as well) , but most europian nations are not their descandents , but people who migrated twords europe from asia minor , and other parts in asia

+ you have no idea if they were white or not ..

to be honest , i belive that those cultures , who existed in the neolitic period in eygpt deserts (pre ancient eygptians) , or europe , etc , were people of the pre flood era ..
all their cultures , was cut from existance , in the same time , and then a new era of diffrent culturs who had nothing to do with the ones who were there originally started arising

 
"As for Japanese their closest genetic relatives are Koreans followed by Chinese and the skulls tell the same story"

there is alot of new work in this field , would you be surprised if i would show you how close japanese is to hebrew for exemple ?
lets take some known word
"samurai" , comes from a ancient word , "smarahu" , guard ... as in "shomer" in hebrew , the perfix used in such word , the "ai" in the end of samrai , would exist only in hebrew , in words like ban-ai (builder), tsav-ai (painter) , etc ...  many japanese words are like that
actually , you can find it in allmost all lenguages , for exemple , english
eye - ayin , qeustion - qushia , earth - eretz , mirror - maraa , skill -sekhel (same meaning in anicent english), fruit -peirot , resume - reshima ,fallen - nafal, seven -sheva , six - shesh (actually those numbers always feat in every lenaguge)
also some words i belive are derived from hebrew , like for exemple , night or noche in spanish would be drived from neshef ,  venom or vaneno , would be derived from nivim (fangs)
etc .

"Even if Japanese generally hate anyone in Asia not Japanese   Hey that's a healthy type of hatred though, it keeps them Japanese"

hehe ... i donno if they hate them all

I think there were definitely some travellers that influenced. There's apparently some Mongolian influence in some places in Europe and I think there were some Europeans that traded with the Chinese pre-Marco Polo.

I was going to ask you (not judging you one way or another, because this isn't really a science forum) do you believe the flood was a recent event, and worldwide, or do you believe it was local?

i'm not dismissing science , but when science dont agree with us , i choose our sources word
for exemple , when "science" used to say the world is flat ... we said it was round ( zohar , midreash bamidbar raba , pirkey derabi eliezer ,masechet avoda zara etc and in more books)! ... and we all know now who was right .

world wide .... you are welcome to explain to me how a modern shark was smashed to a centimeter on the top of the rockys otherwise heh

or how the hell billions of hearning fish got piled up on mountain tops far far above sea levels of the last tousands of years


you know, when they started digging in ancient sumerian city of ur , they digged up many layers of human presence , and then came across over a meter layer of pure building mud/clay , (which only happens when you leave it in water ) they thougth it was the layer before the city was built , after many layers of pure building mud , they reached a layer with alot of human presence , broken jars ,pots etc ...

and what i said about cultures suddenly disapearing ... it all adds up .

i didn't said welsh is broken hebrew , i said that if you hear someone read it , it will sound as if someone reading from the tanach and dont know hebrew grammer well , cuz most of the words in ancient welsh sound similar to hebrew words of the same meaning

just pointed out connection of another europian people to the east

It doesn't make sense on a Jewish forum to call it the old one when according to Judaism there was never a new one. So I don't have a problem with that filter at all, it makes sense! Besides if the conversation really requires discussion of both sets of books then you could always refer to them as Tanach and NT

Hebrew Honor it's hard for me to understand anthropology in any other way but from an evolutionary perspective because that's how I view the branching human tree, so it'd be hard for me to discuss it in a different way. I think of blacks, whites, and asians as cousins that sprang from a common ancestor, probably in Africa but possibly the Mid-East

OK, one more stab at this, which has nothing whatsoever to do with Germans. As a Welsh speaker I can assure you that there is nothing really which can be described as Ancient Welsh - the structure of the language in Roman times was very much as today, they just taught us to write. St. Patrick on his wanderings found an older language than Welsh being spoken in parts of Wales, for which he needed a translator and referred to it as the Iron Tongue. Welsh itself, as pointed out by George Borrow in the 1800's, bears some considerable resemblance to Sanscrit. You are therefore right. However, this doesn't help me find an Oktoberfest which still has some beer left.
