Tylko hitlerowiec może być tak po żydowsku obłąkany.
Jeśli nie unieszkodliwimy żydów w Polsce, to czeka nas straszna rzeź.
Zbrodnie żydowskie podczas rewolucji w Rosji, to były tylko żarty w porównaniu z tym co nas czeka.

"Co to oznacza w praktyce? Chciałbym przedstawić pięć propozycji.
otwarta nienawiść do Żydów. Wszyscy antysemici w słowie i czynie, niezależnie od ich
pochodzenia, muszą zostać wydaleni, gdziekolwiek jest to prawnie możliwe. Brytyjski polityk i lider Partii Konserwatywnej Ky Bino stwierdził,
jasno i odważnie, cytuję, „Wszystko, co podżega do przemocy wobec Żydów, musi zniknąć”. Cytat, koniec.
Potrzebujemy tego oświadczenia i jego konsekwencji nie tylko w Wielkiej Brytanii, ale w każdym demokratycznym kraju.
Zmiana tego stanu rzeczy leży w interesie samej Europy i jest to coś więcej niż gest.
Jeśli ideę społeczeństwa wielokulturowego chcemy traktować poważnie, pilnie potrzebna jest większa różnorodność w Europie, w Europie, w której coraz bardziej rosną wpływy chrześcijańskie, a zwłaszcza muzułmańskie.
Aby wystawić na próbę deklaracje tolerancji, ważne jest, aby uczynić kulturę żydowską bardziej widoczną. Europa musi stać się bardziej żydowska.
zakazana przez cenzurę w Chinach w związku z niemal niekontrolowanym wzrostem demokracji zachodnich. Jest to zdecydowanie najbardziej wpływowy
wpływowe medium informacyjne dla młodych ludzi.
W miesiącu następującym po wybuchu wojny liczba stanowisk pro-palestyńskich była 17 razy większa niż pro-izraelskich
dotyczące wojny między Hamasem a Izraelem. Wiele z nich ma charakter jawnie antysemicki. Dominuje w nich
Propaganda pełna mitów spiskowych. Roi się w niej od nawoływań do przemocy i otwartego podżegania przeciwko Żydom. Ale dlaczego?
Nic się nie dzieje? Dlaczego pozwalamy na to i algorytm wzmacniający rozprzestrzenianie się treści radykalnie lewicowych i radykalnie prawicowych?
Każda mała lokalna gazeta musi ponieść odpowiedzialność prawną, jeśli rozpowszechniała
Coś fałszywego lub niezgodnego z prawem. Chociaż TikTok ma ponad dwa miliardy użytkowników, platforma praktycznie nie ponosi za to odpowiedzialności.
W Ameryce TikTok został zmuszony do sprzedaży użytkownikom spoza Chin. Europa powinna pójść w jego ślady.
To, że młodzi ludzie są manipulowani przez platformę, która musi przekazywać dane użytkowników służbom wywiadowczym komunistycznej dyktatury, to makabryczny żart historyczny.

Zajmuje się przewartościowaniem wszystkich wartości i dewaluacją Zachodu.
Przez wieki cywilizacji obowiązywała następująca zasada: Sukces jest lepszy niż porażka. Bogactwo jest lepsze niż bieda. Silność jest lepsza niż słabość.
Teraz Vogue chce nas przekonać do czegoś przeciwnego i idealizuje ofiary jako nowych bohaterów.
W społeczeństwie Vogue'a władza znajduje się w rękach tych, którzy decydują, kto jest ofiarą.
A toksyczny ruch „woke” uznał, że ofiarami są antysemici.
Dlatego bądźcie czujni przeciwko przebudzonemu. Gdzie w imię przebudzonego porządku świata ludzie skandują od rzeki do morza,
Gdzie prawo Izraela do istnienia jest negowane, gdzie żydowscy studenci są nękani i atakowani na kampusach uniwersyteckich. Tam kończy się oświecenie, a zaczyna piekło.
Musimy przekazać młodym ludziom naszą pamięć i wiedzę historyczną."

It is spreading rapidly across the United States, throughout Europe, in universities, in the arts and culture5:20

scene, on social media, and on the streets of our cities, in words and in deeds. Anti-semitism has reached5:27
5 minutes, 27 seconds
globally a new level. It is a new dimension, a new situation inconceivable since5:35
5 minutes, 35 seconds
1933. A situation that requires new thinking, a new spirit, and most importantly, new actions.5:45
5 minutes, 45 seconds
This new but old anti-semitism is particularly insidious at places where one would5:53

cultured circles, of all people, artists, musicians, painters, writers, actors, and6:08

allowed to criticize Israel. They say as if the criticism were something forbidden.7:18
7 minutes, 18 seconds
Yet it is an everyday given.7:24
7 minutes, 24 seconds
So many things against anti-semitism are said in Germany alone. There are now 177:32

7 minutes, 46 seconds
Look how much we are doing. In theory, this works splendidly. And of course there are many good intentions but in practice it falls short.7:57
7 minutes, 57 seconds
An example on April 13, 2026 a court ruling was handed down in Berlin in the8:05
8 minutes, 5 seconds
case of Mustafa A who had brutally beaten the student Laah Shapi. The court could not identify an anti-Semitic8:14
8 minutes, 14 seconds
motive because the perpetrator had beaten the victim just like that.8:21
8 minutes, 21 seconds
until he was hospitalized. In the court's view, however, the act would only have been anti-semitic8:28
8 minutes, 28 seconds
if he had explicitly announced his hatred of Jews beforehand. So, as if hatred had to fill a form before it strikes.8:39
8 minutes, 39 seconds
The fact that a video was found on Mustafa cell phone stating, I quote, "Musty beat that Jewish son of a8:47
8 minutes, 47 seconds
to death," was not sufficient evidence to the court. In France, anti-Semitic crimes rose by four times in 2023, and a8:57
8 minutes, 57 seconds
year later, the gang rape of a 12year-old Jewish girl made headlines.9:01

Let's be realistic. Germany, France, or England, and Spain, among others, are no longer truly safe countries for Jews.9:28

I often think of Tommy Lit in this context. Lait was a politician in Israel9:34
9 minutes, 34 seconds
at time the only Holocaust survivor in the Knesset. I met him many years ago in Jerusalem and who told me why he had9:43
9 minutes, 43 seconds
become a politician. As a child, he recounted while sitting on the terrace of the King David Hotel. I narrowly9:52
9 minutes, 52 seconds
survived a Nazi massacre in Hungary. All my classmates were shot, but they overlooked me. At that moment, I swore10:01
10 minutes, 1 second
to myself, if I survive this, I will do everything in my power to ensure that there is a place somewhere in the world10:08
10 minutes, 8 seconds
where Jewish children are safe. That is why I went to Israel. That is why I entered Israeli politics. That is why I10:17
10 minutes, 17 seconds
did everything I could to ensure that Israel is a safe heaven for Jewish children.10:25
10 minutes, 25 seconds
And then he added with tears in his eyes, I hope it will be safe.10:33
10 minutes, 33 seconds
In 1896, Theodora Herzel laid out his vision in his seinal work, the Jewish state, not just for children, but for10:41
10 minutes, 41 seconds
all Jews. This was and remains the core idea of Zionism.10:47
10 minutes, 47 seconds
Jews have the same right as any other people to live in selfdetermination, in peace and security in their own state.10:58
10 minutes, 58 seconds
Today, Zionism is a dirty word to many.11:02
11 minutes, 2 seconds
In England, members of the Green Party, which most disturbingly mixes climate activism with anti-semitism,11:10
11 minutes, 10 seconds
say Zionism is racism. There must be a misunderstanding here.11:19
11 minutes, 19 seconds
It is not Zionism that is racism. It is anti-Zionism that is racism.11:27
11 minutes, 27 seconds
Zionism is the most natural response to thousands of years of persecution, expulsion, and genocide.11:38
11 minutes, 38 seconds
What does not make sense to me is this.11:41
11 minutes, 41 seconds
Why should Zionism be an idea and a goal that only Jews can embrace?11:47
11 minutes, 47 seconds
I'm a and I'm a Zionist with all my heart out of conviction and with passion.11:55
11 minutes, 55 seconds
Israel is the only imperfect democracy in a region dominated by fairly perfect,12:02
12 minutes, 2 seconds
which means incredibly brutal dictatorships.12:07
12 minutes, 7 seconds
Israel is a bridge head of western values in the Middle East. Israel is a land of knowledge and science despite12:14
12 minutes, 14 seconds
everything a land of freedom and tolerance and a land of self assured12:23
12 minutes, 23 seconds
successful defense of the values of enlightenment, our values.12:30
12 minutes, 30 seconds
Zionism is not a dirty word.12:34
12 minutes, 34 seconds
Zionism is a logical consequence of history.12:38
12 minutes, 38 seconds
A people's right to live in safety, the right to defend oneself, the right not to be dependent on the mercy of others.12:48
12 minutes, 48 seconds
Again, anyone who questions these rights is not only questioning Israel, but the12:55
12 minutes, 55 seconds
principles upon which free societies are founded.13:01
13 minutes, 1 second
That is why I'm a Zionist and also because as a child of post-war13:09
13 minutes, 9 seconds
German generation, I want Jews to never again have to fear for their life simply because they are Jewish. I want Jews13:18
13 minutes, 18 seconds
just like Christians and Muslims and Buddhists and Hindus and non-believers to be fundamentally safe and free13:25
13 minutes, 25 seconds
everywhere in the world. and above all always in Israel.13:31
13 minutes, 31 seconds
That's why I'm a Zionist.13:36
13 minutes, 36 seconds
I first I first declared this 20 years ago in a13:46
13 minutes, 46 seconds
conversation with a writer and noble laurat ga grass with grass of all people. the favorite intellectual of the13:54
13 minutes, 54 seconds
German left about whom it was revealed just a few days a few weeks after our14:01
14 minutes, 1 second
conversation that he had been a member of the SS. A Nazi a Nazi turned left when the Third Reich14:10
14 minutes, 10 seconds
was over and when left was the new zitgeist. Grass of course found my declaration of Zionism14:18
14 minutes, 18 seconds
absolutely appalling which finally showed me how right I am.14:24
14 minutes, 24 seconds
Whether Jew or non-Jew, anyone for whom democracy, freedom, and humanity truly14:31
14 minutes, 31 seconds
matter must be a Zionist today. Anyone who care about an open society, about14:39
14 minutes, 39 seconds
our way of life, should proudly declare it. We shall all be Zionists.14:51
14 minutes, 51 seconds
But why has anti-ionism become the new form of anti-semitism? The politically correct hatred of Jews?15:00
15 minutes
Why is Israel so hated? Why this internal hatred of Jews?15:06
15 minutes, 6 seconds
There are several causes and one particularly flawed justification.15:10
15 minutes, 10 seconds
The flawed justification is the claim that following October 7, Israel lost all sense of proportion which is with15:19
15 minutes, 19 seconds
its counteratt attacks on Gaza and in general that Israel acts in a highly questionable manner in both foreign and domestic policy.15:29
15 minutes, 29 seconds
Now, has Israel's government made mistakes?15:34
15 minutes, 34 seconds
I think yes, certainly many. Is that a reason to be anti-semitic? Absolutely15:41
15 minutes, 41 seconds
not. That is just as absurd as justifying Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine by claiming that corruption is widespread in Ukraine.15:52
15 minutes, 52 seconds
The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other with one another. That is just as absurd as hating the American16:00
16 minutes
people because you disagree with one administration and their actions.16:04
16 minutes, 4 seconds
Disagreement with Israel's domestic and foreign policy as a reason for more or less overt anti-semitism is therefore16:13
16 minutes, 13 seconds
just a very cheap excuse. The reason and the true causes run deeper.16:21
16 minutes, 21 seconds
The most important cause I think is envy.16:25
16 minutes, 25 seconds
Jews have despite all the persecution, despite all the programs, despite the shawah, shaped and enriched western societies16:33
16 minutes, 33 seconds
like no one else. In business, in science, in culture, in medicine, in technology, compared to the small size16:41
16 minutes, 41 seconds
of the Jewish community worldwide, their contributions to progress and excellence in all these areas is significantly overproportional.16:50
16 minutes, 50 seconds
Is it feltism to state this? No. It is the culturally and historically obvious16:57
16 minutes, 57 seconds
consequence of millennia of discrimination and persecution.17:02
17 minutes, 2 seconds
Anyone who is systematically oppressed and disadvantaged for so long can only either perish or survive through17:11
17 minutes, 11 seconds
exceptional excellence. But excellence and success breed envy.17:18
17 minutes, 18 seconds
Envy, one could say, is the most sincere form of recognition. So I believe we17:24
17 minutes, 24 seconds
have to stop hiding this. We have to change the narrative. The only appropriate response to envy is pride.17:36
17 minutes, 36 seconds
Only a self assured, proud Jewish identity can help reduce envy and new anti-semitism.17:46
17 minutes, 46 seconds
What does that mean in concrete terms?17:52
17 minutes, 52 seconds
Now what does that mean in concrete terms? I would like to make five proposals.18:01
18 minutes, 1 second
First, we need a zero tolerance policy towards18:08
18 minutes, 8 seconds
open hatred of Jews. All anti-semites in word and deed, regardless of their18:15
18 minutes, 15 seconds
origin, must be expelled wherever legally possible. British politician and Conservative Party leader Ky Bino put it18:25
18 minutes, 25 seconds
clearly and courageously, I quote, "Anything that's inciting violence against Jews has got to go." Quote, end.18:33
18 minutes, 33 seconds
We need this statement and its consequences not only in Britain, but in every democratic country.18:40
18 minutes, 40 seconds
Second, Europe should introduce preferential immigration and citizenship for Jewish families.18:48
18 minutes, 48 seconds
In the US, approximately 7.7 million Jews live. That is 2.2% of18:56
18 minutes, 56 seconds
the population. In the EU and the UK combined, it is roughly 1 million. That is 0.2% and 10 times less than in America.19:07
19 minutes, 7 seconds
It is in Europe's own best interest to change that and it is more than a gesture.19:15
19 minutes, 15 seconds
If the idea of a multicultural society is to be taken seriously, then there is an urgent need for greater diversity in19:24
19 minutes, 24 seconds
Europe, in a Europe where Christian and particularly Muslim influences increasingly grow.19:37
19 minutes, 37 seconds
To put claims of tolerance to the test, it is important to make Jewish culture more visible. Europe must become more Jewish.19:47
19 minutes, 47 seconds
Third, anti-semitism on social media platforms must be consistently curbed.19:54
19 minutes, 54 seconds
Tik Tok in particular is today one of the most dangerous propaganda machines for amplifying extremist content.20:02
20 minutes, 2 seconds
banned by censorship in China on an almost unchecked rise in western democracies. It is by far the most influ20:10
20 minutes, 10 seconds
influential information medium for young people.20:14
20 minutes, 14 seconds
There were in the month following the outbreak of the war 17 times as many pro Palestinian posts as pro-Israeli ones20:23
20 minutes, 23 seconds
regarding the war between Hamas and Israel. Many of them blatantly anti-semitic. It is dominated by20:30
20 minutes, 30 seconds
propaganda full of conspiracy myth. It is teeming with calls for violence and open incitement against Jews. But why is20:37
20 minutes, 37 seconds
nothing being done? Why are we allowing this and the algorithm amplified spread of radical leftwing and radical right-wing content?20:47
20 minutes, 47 seconds
Every small local newspaper must assume legal responsibility if it has disseminated20:54
20 minutes, 54 seconds
something false or unlawful. But while Tik Tok reaches over two billion users, the platform bears virtually no responsibility.21:04
21 minutes, 4 seconds
In America, Tik Tok has been forced to be sold to non-Chinese owners. Europe should follow this example.21:13
21 minutes, 13 seconds
That young people are being manipulated by a platform that must hand over its user data to the intelligence service of a communist dictatorship is a macabra joke of history.21:25
21 minutes, 25 seconds
Fourth, we must expose vogue ideology as a Trojan horse for anti-semitism and Islamism under the guise of21:33
21 minutes, 33 seconds
decolonization, anti-racism, and social justice, and above all, green climate activism. Pure hatred of Jews is often21:43
21 minutes, 43 seconds
spread today. Greta Tunberg hardly cares about the carbon footprint anymore, but21:50
21 minutes, 50 seconds
it is but is increasingly passionate about stoking anti-semitic prejudice.21:57
21 minutes, 57 seconds
The vote movement has long been infiltrated and shaped by Islamists.22:03
22 minutes, 3 seconds
It is engaged in the re-evaluation of all values and the devaluation of the West.22:11
22 minutes, 11 seconds
For centuries of civilization, the following held true. Successful is better than unsuccessful. Rich is better than poor. Strong is better than weak.22:22
22 minutes, 22 seconds
Vogue now wants to convince us of the opposite and idealizes victims as the new heroes.22:29
22 minutes, 29 seconds
In a Vogue society, power lies with those who determine who the victims are.22:37
22 minutes, 37 seconds
And the toxic woke movement has decided the victims are the anti-semites.22:42
22 minutes, 42 seconds
Therefore, be awake against woke. Where in the name of a woke world order, people chant from the river to the sea,22:50
22 minutes, 50 seconds
where Israel's right to exist is denied, where Jewish students are harassed and attacked on college campuses. That is where the enlightenment ends and where hell begins.23:01
23 minutes, 1 second
And finally, fifth and last, we must not stop remembering.23:09
23 minutes, 9 seconds
We must pass our memory and historical knowledge to young people.23:14
23 minutes, 14 seconds
Do we really learn only from history that we learn nothing from history? I23:20
23 minutes, 20 seconds
refuse to believe that journeys into the past are the best preparation for the future.23:29
23 minutes, 29 seconds
A few years ago, I took such a journey to eastern Poland into a terrible past.23:35
23 minutes, 35 seconds
With a friend, I traveled to where Galitia once was, to the land of the to23:43
23 minutes, 43 seconds
the border triangle between Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine, and to the land where under the name Operation23:50
23 minutes, 50 seconds
Reinhardt, between August and October 1942, around 1.3 million Jews were murdered.23:58
23 minutes, 58 seconds
A slaughtering slaughtering less recognized but whose industrialized barbarism rivals perhaps even surpassed that of Avitz.24:10
24 minutes, 10 seconds
First we looked for the Zubbor extermination camp. We followed the train tracks and found the station of24:17
24 minutes, 17 seconds
the same name hidden in a dark forest and a path lined with thousands of victims names. Over 200,000 Jews were24:25
24 minutes, 25 seconds
driven there, hidden behind trees and surrounded by a minefield in just a few months from trains consisting of dozens24:33
24 minutes, 33 seconds
of freight cars directly into the gas chambers and killed.24:39
24 minutes, 39 seconds
An hour away, still following the railroad tracks, lies Beljudge, the24:45
24 minutes, 45 seconds
first camp of Operation Reinhardt. As early as in 1942, a gas chamber went into operation here. Previously,24:54
24 minutes, 54 seconds
industrial murder had been practiced and tested using gas vents. The camp is located directly25:02
25 minutes, 2 seconds
on the railroad next to the railroad tracks. That was practical because the killing went faster. Barracks were not needed.25:12
25 minutes, 12 seconds
What is left today? A modern memorial made of concrete with small with a small museum, a field of rubble, burned lava stones.25:23
25 minutes, 23 seconds
rusted steel beams, all funded by the American Jewish Committee and several Jewish families. A25:31
25 minutes, 31 seconds
question, why do so few non-Jewish donors actually participate in funding Holocaust memorials and remembrance? Is25:40
25 minutes, 40 seconds
it really foremost the Jews responsibility to make sure that the deeds of their murderers will not be forgotten?25:51
25 minutes, 51 seconds
Most traces of the most horrific frenzy of extermination can still be found at the Maidan concentration camp26:00
26 minutes
located directly on the inskirts on the outskirts of Lublin. It was initially established in October 194126:09
26 minutes, 9 seconds
as a labor camp for Jews deported from Lublin. It existed until July 1944 and26:16
26 minutes, 16 seconds
was partially converted into an extermination camp over time. Here the remains of the camp are the actual memorial site.26:27
26 minutes, 27 seconds
At the very end stands a barrack that looks somewhat different than the sleeping barracks. Part of the building is made of brick.26:37
26 minutes, 37 seconds
Bath and disinfection too is written in white letters on a board.26:42
26 minutes, 42 seconds
We have arrived at what is likely the only remaining gas chamber where tens of thousands of Jews were murdered during the Holocaust.26:52
26 minutes, 52 seconds
It is a conflicting feeling. We were determined to see this place.26:57
26 minutes, 57 seconds
That's why we came here. And yet we hesitate to enter.27:04
27 minutes, 4 seconds
Then suddenly we are in something like a hallway.27:08
27 minutes, 8 seconds
This is where the prisoners had to undress.27:12
27 minutes, 12 seconds
In the next room, showerheads are mounted on the ceiling on long zinc pipes.27:19
27 minutes, 19 seconds
Even today, visitors look up fearfully.27:23
27 minutes, 23 seconds
But no gas flowed from these showerheads, only water. The next section is the actual gas chamber. A crammed room like a shoe box.27:34
27 minutes, 34 seconds
The benality of evil cast in concrete.27:39
27 minutes, 39 seconds
A thick rust red iron door at the front and back. An inscription identifies the27:46
27 minutes, 46 seconds
manufacturer Aata in gray cement, blue deposits on the walls,27:54
27 minutes, 54 seconds
likely from the chemical composition of the gas. The entire room shimmers blue, gray, brown,28:02
28 minutes, 2 seconds
a filthy hole. Glazed openings in the doors. gas chamber peeppoles so the28:09
28 minutes, 9 seconds
guards could watch the screaming and convulsing victims as they died in agony.28:16
28 minutes, 16 seconds
We have reached the lowest point of human civilization.28:23
28 minutes, 23 seconds
Greater contempt, hatred and cruelty towards humanity are inconceivable.28:31
28 minutes, 31 seconds
Humanity cannot fall lower.28:37
28 minutes, 37 seconds
This gas chamber is the Quint essential memorial.28:43
28 minutes, 43 seconds
It is quiet here. I hear the summer wind rustling through the leaves of the trees outside. And I imagine how the screams28:52
28 minutes, 52 seconds
of the dying penetrated the camp, filling more and more people with fear, with mortal fear.29:01
29 minutes, 1 second
And as I stand in the doorway of the gas chamber, I stop thinking and feel only one thing, an overwhelming nosia.29:15
29 minutes, 15 seconds
So what can we learn from history?29:19
29 minutes, 19 seconds
Of course, stand up to evil early. Of course, the individual must never hide behind the collective when it comes to right and wrong, humanity and inhumity.29:32
29 minutes, 32 seconds
But I also believe we should learn this.29:36
29 minutes, 36 seconds
Anti-semitism is not just an existential problem for the Jewish community.29:44
29 minutes, 44 seconds
Anti-semitism is an existential problem for humanity.29:51
29 minutes, 51 seconds
In anti-semitism, the west hates and envies itself.29:59
29 minutes, 59 seconds
If the west, of course, not uh in geographical terms, the west that is the free world, if the west does not defeat30:08
30 minutes, 8 seconds
anti-semitism, it will destroy itself.30:15
30 minutes, 15 seconds
Between 193 and 1945, Germany murdered during the Holocaust 6 million people,30:23
30 minutes, 23 seconds
thereby breaking the nation's moral and spiritual backbone.30:30
30 minutes, 30 seconds
To this day, my country remains a somewhat broken country.30:38
30 minutes, 38 seconds
without healthy patriotism, without a genuine drive for achievement and excellence, trapped in an eternal30:47
30 minutes, 47 seconds
culture of guilt and penance. And this tragically without any consequence for the present.30:55
30 minutes, 55 seconds
But today it is no longer just about Germany. Today it is about the entire free world which should take the Germany31:03
31 minutes, 3 seconds
of that time as a cautionary negative example.31:08
31 minutes, 8 seconds
Islamism is the biggest threat of our times.31:14
31 minutes, 14 seconds
Islamist terror in the name of a hijacked religion is the most aggressive31:21
31 minutes, 21 seconds
and most dangerous attack on our values and our pacivity in dealing with it may be our most suicidal mistake.31:32
31 minutes, 32 seconds
The free world will only remain free if it wakes up. if it finds the courage to31:38
31 minutes, 38 seconds
remain true to its own values and if it combats envy, hatred and self-hatred.31:48
31 minutes, 48 seconds
And this is above all a task for all non-Jews. I today mainly call upon all31:56
31 minutes, 56 seconds
non-Jewish people. It is in our in your interest32:04
32 minutes, 4 seconds
and if you don't fight anti-semitism out of altruism,32:13
32 minutes, 13 seconds
you should at least do it out of egoism, out of a healthy self-interest.32:18
32 minutes, 18 seconds
That is why I would like to conclude my remarks today with a conviction that patriotism and Zionism are siblings.32:27
32 minutes, 27 seconds
Allies of Zionism who are not patriotic in their own country are false friends.32:34
32 minutes, 34 seconds
Can they therefore be German Zionists?32:38
32 minutes, 38 seconds
I believe so. They are per perhaps those few as they may be who have recognized32:46
32 minutes, 46 seconds
that we can still give our tragic and sad and yes I would say miserable recent32:53
32 minutes, 53 seconds
history a different turn. A turn towards a powerful democracy,33:00
33 minutes
a turn towards genuine freedom, and a turn towards true tolerance33:10
33 minutes, 10 seconds
with the awareness that true tolerance must never again be tolerant towards intolerance.33:21
33 minutes, 21 seconds
We all shall be Zionists. Thank you very much.9999999999999
