"Now a German Jewish organization, Jewish Voice for Peace in the Middle East , is planning an aid flotilla to Gaza! Please send them money.

There are over 250,000 Jews in contemporary Germany , and more Jews immigrated to Germany in 2005 than to Israel. Four-fifths of them are Russian Jews who prefer Berlin to Beersheva. And, there are some Israelis among them who have similar preferences. In further evidence of how Israel can actually be bad for Jews, the Israeli government lobbied Germany in 2004 to restrict Jewish immigration . But there are now more Jews in Germany than there were in 1939 before the Holocaust."
