I was reading an article the other day on the topic of life in contemporary Germany after the Holocaust, and Anti-Semitism that apparently still runs somewhat rampant in Germany (according to the author). The article was written by an author who claimed to be a white, male, blond haired, non Jew (presumably Christian, or non practicing Christian), who had noticed Anti-Semitism still existing in Germany and wanted to bring these topics to light.
The author gave examples of what he saw as Anti-Semitism, such as conversations he had with fellow Germans where they criticized American society because many Jews had positions of power and wealth.
Personally I don't believe that the author was in fact a white, non-Jewish male (then again there are some very brainwashed liberals out there!), I found the article extremely biased against Gentiles, and I certainly don`t agree with the mainstream view on the Holocaust, but all that aside there were some valuable points which I care to consider further:
- The author mentioned that despite Nazis losing the war, they succeeded in their most important objectives with regard to mostly eliminating Jews from German and European society. The proportion of Jews in Germany today, is much, much less than it was before the Holocaust according to the author. So in this way, the Nazi agenda was largely fulfilled. The author argued that because there are so few Jews in Germany today as compared to the past, it allowed today`s Germans to `reap the benefits of Nazi rationale` while still acting as though they were sorry about the Holocaust. The author compared it to a small child stealing a cookie from his Mother and eating it, even when punished, the cookie remains eaten nonetheless.
- The author also mentioned that today, MUSLIMS (Arabs, Persians, and Turks) have essentially taken the population place of Jews before the Holocaust in terms of their proportion of the population. This also furthers a Nazi agenda in that many Muslims harbour anti-Semitic viewpoints and are known to often times idolize Hitler. Hitler is a hero in much of the Arab World, and Right wing German groups, and German neo-Nazis of today often support Iran, and during the 2006 World Cup, even staged a pro-Iran rally for the Iranian football team that was competing at the World Cup.
- These Muslim immigrants are highly likely to support Germany's far right movements in the sense that both are based on anti-Semitic feelings. In this way they provide a more complimentary minority in German society, and further German anti-Jewish feelings. The author seemed to be suggesting that Germans favoured Muslim immigration because it was keeping Germany free of Jews, and Muslims were highly likely to agree with anti-Jewish views.
What does everyone make of these points? Do you think anti-Semitism still runs rampant in German society and do you think that Muslim immigration is helping Germany's far right movement? Do you see Turks, Iranians, and Arabs as friends to racially aware and right wing Europeans?
