Don't mistake some looney's vandalism for the opinion of the whole country. You don't necessarily say Germans are going to go creating the next Reich when you see some German neo-nazis, do you ?

"Don't mistake some looney's vandalism for the opinion of the whole country."

This is symptomatic of something far, far more than just the activities of a few "loony" vandals. From the article:

"Serbia has seen a surge of anti-Semitism in recent years, fueled by nationalists who claim that all the republic's problems stem from the powerful Jews who allegedly support anti-Serb policies in the United States and elsewhere in the world."

And no, "I don't necessarily say Germans are going to go creating the next Reich when I see some German neo-nazis." It does make me wonder though when close on 60% of Germans believe that the Israelis are similar to the Nazis.

I never cease to be amazed by those who always wish to downplay anti-Semitism. Because their relatives were not murdered and because they are not affected by anti-Semitism, they are always willing to slough off even the most outrageous incident.

Having been in Germany since the re-unification and meeting more than a few Nationalists there; I have no doubt that their intent is to create a fourth Reich. They are clear and plain spoken about this matter. And when you speak to ordinary people, the auslandern (foreigners) are perceived as the root of the problem.
