„Was ist in Deutschland los, dass eine derart haltlose und unverantwortliche Aussage einfach hingenommen wird? Wie kann ein Jude so vielen anderen Juden, die die Jerusalemer Erklärung unterstützen, Antisemitismus unterstellen?

in reply to Matt Blaze • • •That made me chuckle. Well, it would be funny if the subject wasn't so serious. Wanting to yell seems to be very part of the human condition though I'd still prefer if people were a little less... yell-y... Ah well.
