Rabbi in Germany Afraid to Wear Kippah
Pathetic:
The first rabbi to be ordained in Germany since the Holocaust is so worried about being identified as a Jew that he often wears a baseball hat over his skull cap.
"It's a fact - it isn't smart to display I'm Jewish. This is a problem and we have to face it," German-born Daniel Alter, 47, told Reuters in an interview.
He is worried about neo-Nazi attacks and says anti-Semitism in Germany - still tortured by memories of the Holocaust in which Nazis wiped out six million Jews - puts the growth of Jewish communities here at risk.
...He notes how before the 1930s, Germany's 600,000 Jews identified with the country they had lived in for generations and supplied some of its greatest minds.
"Jewish cultural heritage was part of German cultural heritage and Jewish people were German patriots - soldiers who fell in World War One didn't imagine what would happen later."
His parents cannot talk about the Holocaust and Alter's bond with Germany is complex. "Would you identify with a country where much of your family and culture had been wiped out? My dream in the long run is to live in Jerusalem."
Just pathetic.
There is nothing else to say.
Well, one more thing:
If Europe doesn't want Jews, I say, by all means give them what they want. Leave before it gets violent. Leave before it's too late. Just leave.
