Interesting German public opinion poll results?

I noted in the press on Monday that in a German people some 80% of those who participated said they felt it was time to have a break from the regular things going on about the holocaust and to move on. Some 48% were also not happy with Israel political standings either.  Don't know what the age inclusion was.

In other news, Glasgow remains the violence capitol of Europe.  :yikes:

When I want an opinion about the Holocaust, I won't be asking the Germans.

There are good holocausts and bad holocausts. There's no patience.
A matter of attitude.

How odd was that from Colonel rebel? If he cannot comment on the point as it is beyond him than he should give it a miss instead of acting like a petty wee school boy. Hhhm, maybe he has German relations//

It was an odd poll but we do tend to get the European holocaust stuck in front of us all the time. The Yesterday television Channel has had so many series about the 3rd Reich it would bore you to tears as if we didn't know everything.We know it was a terrible time yet at the same time with the estimated deaths at Auschwitz having repeatedly brought down over the years the number of Kurds wiped by the Turks at a million is like that death camp. Cambodia another mass one and there have been others. The USSR even beats the Nazis but we didn't defeat the Soviets and get access to the records. I do not know the number of Jews murdered although many however although I feel sad about that I feel the same about the Kurds, Russians, Cambodians as well.

Channel 19 is becoming a big sigh as they constantly repeat the films about the 3rd Reich and occasionally cobble together the odd new one. I do wish we could have a break from that and the Holocaust.

Maybe you should stop watching your Telly, which -perforce- focuses upon "anniversaries"… ? :)

Or find a channel that finds Scotland's various periods of dependence and independence more interesting?

Shows how much you don't know as they have been doing this for at least the last two years to the point of skipping to save boredom.

Germany has always been the problem. Now it is a problem to such an extent that it's getting very difficult to deny.
The leader of the Continent’s most powerful economy and of the country once regarded as the most collaborative in Europe, Scholz now seems to view the bloc as a problem to be managed. Meanwhile, European institutions and member countries seem to regard him, in their turn, as a problem to be managed too.

Of course, some might argue that Germany’s actions were never quite as generous as its words. For this, they’d point to the 2008 financial crash and subsequent debt crisis, and suggest that Berlin saw its EU partners as export fodder required to toe its strict fiscal line.

Take these recent examples: Germany was one of only five EU members to reject the imposition of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. Scholz came under sustained pressure from German carmakers — which rely on China for sales — and yet he decided to vote alongside the likes of serial rebels Hungary and Slovakia, knowing the European Commission would press ahead regardless.

But why go against the European mainstream, even when you know you’re going to lose?

And finally, while Germany has long argued for greater fiscal and monetary unity within the EU, as well as for free market principles to be more rigorously embedded, Scholz voiced opposition to Italian bank UniCredit’s plan to merge with Commerzbank — a move that perplexed EU and corporate leaders alike.

Then, there’s the most visible — and symbolically important — demonstration of what’s been coming across as a “Germany First” approach: The government’s unilateral decision to impose checks on its remaining open borders. While controls had been operating on Germany’s eastern frontiers with the Czech Republic, Poland and Austria for some time now, in the middle of September, these checks were also applied to the country’s borders with France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark at short notice.

And although the government insisted these changes were limited to six months, the expectation is that they’ll be renewed. Schengen RIP, or so it seems.
It is better for the EU to understand rather sooner than later that it's dead. It would have been better that Russia had died first, but Germany wanted it the other way.

Is Estonia bolstering it's border against EU countries? :) Does any reasonable person in Europe think Germany is a threat?

I don't hold nearly as negative a view, but Germany hardly needs to be a movie villain to be a threat to overarching concerns shared by other European nations and their worldwide allies.

I'm inclined to think the border behavior, rather than taking the wind out of certain sails legitimizes what they're saying.
