European Enlightenment

Wow...

LEIPZIG, GERMANY - An appeals court in Germany Thursday ruled that construction can go ahead on a Jewish community centre, dismissing neighbours' claims that their property values would go down.

Saxony State Superior Administrative Court ruled there were no grounds for halting construction, saying the presence of a Jewish centre posed "no discernible deleterious impact" for the neighbouring property owners.


Hard to imagine this sort of thing still happens in the 21st century.

Are you serious? Anti-semitism is still very alive and well in certain parts of Europe…

Can’t believe you have not noticed the slight surge in jew-bashing in Germany in the last 60 years or so. Honestly, it never went away. It was just covered up.

I guess I haven’t been paying attention.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
