Germany today put the new jewish star of david on all Israeli products

You tell me

[toddausauras]

Given the news item (German ministers planning on questioning Obama) I was commenting on and given Germany’s comparative financial stability I’d say yes, they are among the only adults on the world stage.

As far as this story you linked to I don’t buy the premise of malice on Germany’s part.

[Steve Van Doorn]

Targeting Jewish products for the intent to make it easier boycott Jewish made products isn’t a malice intent?

[toddausauras]

Supposedly (according to the story) Germany joined 13 other nations in this sort of boycott...sounds like a political position that I wouldn’t agree with but it’s their right and I would need to know more. Nice try with the whole Star of David thing. It’s not even close to being comparable with what happened under Hitler but I give you high marks for attempted hysteria.
