NOVANEWS By Gilad Atzmon http://www.deliberation.info/ Israel National News published today a poem by Itamar Yaoz-Kest, a Holocaust survivor. The poem is presented as “letter-poem in reply to German Günter Grass’ attack.” The poem is a clear reminder of horrific danger that is embedded within Jewish identity politics and contemporary Jewish nationalism. It is a glimpse into unique psychotic genocidal sense of retribution. The “letter-poem” starts as follows: Danger, I want to be a danger, I want to be a danger to the world, so that after my destruction, not a single blade of grass will remain on the face of the Earth, or a single blade of grass for Gunther Grass’s pipe, upon the Earth where, since I was born, I pose a danger to the world. Because it is my right! It is my right t...

NOVANEWS Nobel Prize-winning author Günter Grass uses poem to say a nuclear-armed Israel is a threat to world peace German author Gunter Grass says he has been silent too long over Israel Photo: PETER FOLEY By Sameer Rahim, Assistant Books Editor The German Nobel laureate and novelist Günter Grass has attacked Israel as a threat to an "already fragile world peace" in a poem published on Wednesday on the front page of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a leading German daily based in Munich. The poem “Was gesagt werden muss ”, translated as "Somebody Must Say It", criticises what it claims is western hypocrisy over Israel's nuclear programme given the current speculation over whether the Jewish state will attack Iran to prevent it from building a nuclear bomb. A decision ...

NOVANEWS Der Spiegel In a move that has drawn angry reactions in Germany, Nobel Prize-winning author Günter Grass has published a new poem criticizing Israel’s policies against Iran. Historically, Grass has been outspoken in his political views, but many believe the author has now broken a taboo.   German author Günter Grass has accused Israel of “endangering a world peace that is already fragile.” Günter Grass, Germany’s most famous living author and the 1999 recipient of the Nobel Prize in literature, sparked outrage in Germany on Wednesday with the publication of a poem, “What must be said,” in which he sharply criticizes Israel’s policies on Iran.  “Why did I wait until now at this advanced age and with the last bit of ink to say: The nuclear power Israel is endangerin...

NOVANEWS Surveys show about one-fifth of Germans agree with anti-Semitic statements, such as ‘Jews have too much power in business’ ynet A new study by a Parliament-appointed commission shows 20% of Germans harbor “latent” anti-Semitism, but anti-Jewish crimes are almost exclusively committed by the far right. Taboos Falling?    Jews divided over ‘Mein Kampf’ reprint  / AFP   As Holocaust survivors hit out at move, historians cheer news that Hitler’s anti-Semitic manifesto will be reprinted in Germany for first time since Nazi dictator’s fall in 1945. Head of Central Council of Jews grudgingly gives his approval The 188-page report – which draws on several different surveys and other research – puts Germans in the middle of the pack in Europe, with a German university survey showing more ...

NOVANEWS http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com ed note–this is a story from many years back, but still serves an extremely vital service in contextualizing the world we live in. It is a constant mantra we in the west are constantly subjected–how DEM MOOZLEMS ‘treat their women’. Mohammed the pedophile…72 virgins…female circumcision, etc, etc, etc. However, here we have a story taking place in Germany, the one-time HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE for Pete’s sake, where a young woman is told if she refuses to take on the degrading and dangerous job of prostituting herself she will lose her unemplyment benefits. We can JUST IMAGINE if this were to take place in an Islamic country, all the screeching and howling we would get from the JMSM, but when it happens in one of those countries tasked with fighti...

Payment will go to Jewish victims of Nazism from the former Soviet Union who live in Israel, the United States, Germany and other Western countries.

NOVANEWS http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com   Addition brings total number of reparation pensions to 66,000 people; of the new beneficiaries, 5,000 live in the United States. Haaretz After a year of tough negotiations, Germany has agreed to pay pensions to about 16,000 additional Holocaust victims worldwide — mostly survivors who were once starving children in Nazi ghettos, or were forced to live in hiding for fear of death. The agreement announced Monday between the New York-based Claims Conference and the German government is “not about money — it’s about Germany’s acknowledgment of these people’s suffering,” said Greg Schneider, the conference’s executive vice president. “They’re finally getting recognition of the horrors they endured as children,” he told The Associated Press.

NOVANEWS Max Blumenthal, despite previous disagreements, is one of my favorite liberal writers on the Palestine issue. Unfortunately, being a liberal, there are certain things that Blumenthal has decided not to understand. Chiefly, the role of these in politics, and especially in Western policy towards the Middle East and our captive little inciter of the highly profitable regional arms race, Israel. Consider this recent commentary on why Germany has chosen to sell a subsidized Dolphin attack submarine to Israel. Blumenthal writes correctly that Israel will receive the submarine at a “steep discount subsidized by German taxpayers.” He writes incorrectly that the only “explanation for the sale is persistent Holocaust guilt.” And he doesn’t say at all who the money is going to, or how mu...
