  1. Max S: The return to Zion is a central principle of Judaism. You might say it is what it is all about. "Land grabbing" ? Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people. We can't "grab" what is already ours. Your "orthodox jewish" friends sound like frauds to me.

  2. Entres nous toujours un nazi, il faut avancer sereinement prenons nos responsabilités cesser la propagande d'un autre âge et tout les outils qui vont avec, les intérêts il faudra repasser avant qu'ils ne saisissent ce que cela veut dire car sans souveraineté sans états d'ames la mafia agit toujours dans l'intérêt des autres en racquettant les uns illustre démonstration au 21ème des intérêts de la mafia dans le livre de la jungle….

  3. Real News is doing an excellent job of informing us what really going on, I can not believe how evil governments are in trying to hide and cover all the evilness of Netanyahu and the Zion's Jews That is the main reason why all these evilness is going on.

  4. Two corrections:

    1. The AfD did not grow out of Pegida and Legida. It was formed in 2013 and its first leader was a conservative professor of economics who used some far-right rhetoric to court… well, you know who. Shortly after its first major success of just about missing the 5 % hurdle for entering the German parliament there began a hard right shift as more and more actual Nazis, alt right people and so on realised that the party had potential. There was a kind of putsch, in fact, by someone called Frauke Petry, who was significantly to the right of the founder of the party. She then in turn felt compelled to leave the AfD following major gains in the elections in 2017; she said she could not tolerate the extremists in the party leadership anymore (ironic, huh).
    Interesting side note: the meteoric rise of the AfD from a goofy far-right fiasco of a party that claimed to represent most Germans but could only manage to earn 4.9 % of the vote, to opposition leader and serious danger to democracy with almost three times that share, was helped greatly by an alt right style social media campaign out of Texas, using techniques like mass spreading of fake news, the creation of an ethnic German victimhood mythology, targeted campaigns against leftist groups etc. This was going on right at the same time when "Russian meddling" was still a hot topic in the US. Heh.

    2. Pegida and Legida were (and are, to the limited extent that they've continued) something like a German version of what a fusion between the Tea Party and the English Defence League would look like. Legida is more or less just the Leipzig-based branch of Pegida. There were others, like "Hogesa", which was a collaboration between elements of Pegida and football hooligans. All of these acronyms have since inspired a lot of satire, as you might imagine.

  5. The jewish census counted 15 million jews in 1939. In 1945 they counted 11 million worldwide. That doesn't mean 4 million died. Higher natural mortality in wartime, much lower birthrates, fugitives who were not counted for all sorts of reasons like hiding their jewishness, intentional underreporting of jews in russia and palestine, etc. We need some real historians to sort it out.

  6. JVP just changed its stance in a dramatic way. By vilifying Zionism it has chosen to support the Arab narrative. No surprise there. Jew hatred is hard to hide for very long.

  7. Rabi Dovid Yisroel Weis "the creation of the zionist state of Israël is an abomination in the eyes of G_d and should be peacefully dismanteled and returned to its rightfull owners the Palestinians as soon as possible"
    "There is nothing as antisemitic as the zionist doctrine and their blasphemous state of Israël"

  8. If Jewish Voice is anti-Semitic, then what they are against must be pro-Semetic. Not having peace, apartheid, oppression of people, land theft…. In essence, the treatment of the people of Palestinians must be pro-Semetic. Is that what is being said?

  9. Wouldn't a good so-called " Christian " try to convert a Jew ? Maybe the WJC shouldn't have declared war on Germany in March of 1933 calling for a global boycott of all German trade and industry ?

  10. From my point of view, the attacks on Ilhan Omar, Jeromy Corbyn, and Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East are all of the same attack on Progressive Movements and groups around the world.

  11. I am 74. I was raised Roman Catholic but we had Jews in our working class neighborhood in Philly. i never heard this level of anti-semitism in my life until Trump. Pelosi made it worse! I am against Israel''s attacks on Palestine & anti-BDS laws. I'm against ALL religious lobbyist, unconstititutional. I do not believe in dual citizenship. I do not believe in xenophobia or hate against any group of US citizens. Whatever happened to Freedom of Religion? Live in peace!

  12. Very good and welcome interview, even while the topic is also sad or saddening. Universally, voters need to WAKE up and "get with reality", stop continuously repeating the same errors, without end.

  13. one has to say the afd are a reaction to the liberal globalist elites who have promoted the dilution of national identity as means to realising their objectives. people wake to find themselves strangers in their own lands. mass immigration is not in their interests, and will not solve the worlds ills. its bullshit to claim the afd is far right. just awoken.

  14. Thank you Jewish Voice for your expose and analysis. Sounds accurate to me as I have read dozens of books in the Palestine Israel topical genre. Glad to hear that Germany has the wherewithal and decency to make its refugees an asset.

  15. It's getting to the point that if you don't unquestioningly support every policy decision of Benjamin Netanyahu, you're an anti-semite.

  16. the anti semite labellers are overplaying their hand ——–such that being labelled anti semitic is an empty charge –the other side knows it is right

  17. Shir made a small mistake there:

    AfD was founded 2013 by mainly neoliberal Professors to critique the Euro and push for kicking Greece and other "weak" states out. Pegida etc. happened while the so called refugee crisis 2015 and was part of 2 coups of the Nazi wing in the AfD. The first coup was against Prof. Bernd Lucke and Olaf Henkel by Frauke Petry. Later on there was a coup against her by Alexander Gauland and the not so secret new Hitler impersonator Björn Höcke. Now we have really lots of people in the party, who you can directly show as linked in the Nazi scene. Gauland is a figure like Steve Banon. He was 20 years in the CDU Frankfurt, is a lobbyist for bankers. The money of the AfD comes from dark money. They take all they can get, also from the Israel lobby, climate change deniers, Pro-Life etc. There is a notorious Zionist and US lobbyist Hendryk Broder, who works for them, too. He is a columnist at a Murdock like media group called Axel Springer Verlag, who were founded by the CIA according to Andreas von Bülow.

    Hendryk Broder regularly smears all critics of Israeli politics as antisemitic, also Jewish people like Nirit Sommerfeld, Prof. Rolf Verleger or human rights groups like Cafe Palestine. It works quite often, because the establishment is pro-Israel and pro-USA. At Axel Springer recruits have to sign in their employment contract, that they will not write anything bad about Israel or the USA. That is not new. It is like this since a long time. You can find a copy of these contracts.

  18. The state of Israel has earned harsh criticisms through its actions, especially its actions towards the Palestinians. If all criticism is considered antisemitic, what alternate response to criticism of Israel's wrongdoings is considered acceptable?

  19. The Jewish voice only represents the extreme left of the political map. They are not peaceful but a bunch of Jew haters.

  20. Peace groups in the U.S. have traditionally been considered un-American as well.
    It may be those complaining simply do not like peace.
    Being opposed to peace is an anti-human sentiment.

  21. I am glad for what Jewish voice stands for. It is a shame who represents me in my country and what my polititians and representatives do in "our" name. I am sure that Jews are ashame also. It has nothing to do with people, all of them are working for oligarchy. Right wings everywhere go hand in hand with zionists.

  22. I am muslim and I love people based on their actions, I love these and our many other fellow Jewish brothers and sisters,
    It takes the best of humanity to speak truth to power
    and try to be just, upright , speak up for the weak and oppressed wherever.
