Why do Germans think that having committed the Holocaust gives them special privileges to speak about Jews?

    maybe the most pathetically loyal US client state in all of Europe,

    ukkk

    The dumbest American is 10x more curious about the world than the smartest German.

    I could imagine this being true of other Anglophone states besides Ireland (which has some real Catholic morons, don’t get me wrong, but also has some more intelligent people), but really? Germany? I suppose I have a prejudice because of German art, but I don’t imagine the better among Germany as being nearly this dumb.

        Europe in not defined by the EU, it’s a geographical designation. If they wanted to exclude the UK, they could have said “continental Europe” or something.

              Oh, how about “isn’t Israel in Africa?” I think that will be a fun one to try out
