Pro-Israel group: 'Nazi-era behavior repeated'
The Jerusalem Post ^ | January 21, 2010

Posted on 01/24/2010 11:48:49 PM PST by myknowledge

Activists from political organization Stop the Bomb distributed fliers to the 3,500 stockholders of the German engineering and steel giant ThyssenKrupp here in this industrial city on Thursday, charging that 4.5 percent of the company's stocks are in the hands of the Iranian government. Alexander Wilke, a spokesman for ThyssenKrupp, told The Jerusalem Post that the engineering conglomerate conducted roughly €200 million in trade last year with Iran.

The protest in front of the RuhrCongress center at the annual stockholder meeting took place in the wake of a joint Monday appearance of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, where both government heads urged tougher sanctions on Iran.

German corporations such as ThyssenKrupp have ignored Merkel's pleas to walk away from Iran business as part of her administration's non-binding "discouragement strategy."

That's right - No deals with the Iranian regime - period.

This is an attempted repetition of the Holocaust, to another country who had denied the Holocaust and led by an egomaniac neo-fascist puppet of his mullahcratic handlers and willing to start WWIII in the Middle East to stage the appearance of the '12th Mahdi'.

I honestly don't believe that a modern German company is attempting to repeat the Holocaust...even though Iran's crazy president wants that.

Rather, on ThyssenKrupp's part, it's a prime example of the as-bad or worse things done because, "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...." (Rabbi Saul, in I Timothy 6:10)

Greed makes men morally blind...
