Look at the Middle East! Look at the Palestinians! Your father! Probably also participated in the crimes, because you've got the right age, especially your grandfather! And now you come along! And tell us things! About such crap! While your old family history, look at your own family history, but yeah, I know, your grandfather was part of the resistance. Sure thing.
(man with flag)
(unintelligible, something like "does the police know that ... ?")
(man with black hat)
Weirdly every German grandfather was part of the resistance!
(man with flag)
Every day, every day police (inspections?) (unintelligible because of the fucking loud music, sorry) Every day we take the streets against fascism (unintelligible) Show me proof, show me proof.
(man with black hat)
All of you were in the resistance!

Hey, can I post this? Ask him as well. Ask him there, ask him.]
Regarding bombings and stuff:
I don't want to and can't get around the fact that, on my floor, there was also a very friendly and popular Palestinian, an educated and lovely, respected man. When he finished his construction engineering studies and already got a job near Karlsruhe, he made the mistake of visiting his family in Palestine between studies and the job. All we got to hear from him was a phone call in which he explained to us that he's well, but they're not letting him leave because they caught wind that he studied bridge engineering, and they needed that there.
Some time later, long after I moved out of the dorm, in Karlsruhe, when I was just leaving the Metro market and carrying my groceries to the car, by coincidence, there was one of the Palestinians from the dorm, he saw and recognized me, spoke to me and said, he thought of me as someone who spoke openly and freely, and he wanted to ask me a question: Why are the Palestinians so unpopular among the Germans. Allegedly they all could tell, wanted to change it, discussed a lot, but they didn't get it. That is why they'd like to know from a German why this is the case.
So I took the time to answer.
I told him very clearly, although I only remember the content, but not the wording, that they act and behave like the lowliest wretches. That, regardless of what they do, they always act in a way that they get perceived as a permanent nuisance, uncivilized, barbaric, quarrelsome, looking for fights, that they can't behave. And then the TV shows images from Palestine where they also act like cavemen, scream around, burn cars, shriek, suicide bombs, all sorts of stuff, not to mention Munich 1972 and [the hijacking of Lufthansa Flight 181 in 1977]. In all of their demeanor, they are not worthy of civilization and recognition, and wherever they arrive, they are always trouble, a nuisance, a threat, but nobody you'd like to have in the room even for just a meal. And if they had wanted to change that, they would first need to learn how to behave.
He stood there petrified, looked at me as if I just slapped him, but then meekly admitted that it is the case and a few of them even noticed that. But allegedly it is very hard to change that, and they don't know how they're supposed to change it.
Back then I said something along the lines of, this is the problem, and neither Germans nor Israelis are at fault, but they are.
I don't recall when that was, but I already moved out of the dorm, and that was around summer 1994, so it must have been roughly between 1994 and 1997.
In 30 years, they didn't manage to become even a tiny bit more civilized. And not even if they study in Germany for years, there's no Israeli far and wide, and nobody is shooting at them.
I'm also not aware of why they believe it's their country. They couldn't explain it to me either.
As far as I know, up to the First World War, it was the Ottoman Empire, and as far as I know they aren't Ottomans. Then what they call the "Great Palestinian Revolt" happened, but it first belonged to the Brits, who were behind it. Now I know (and described it extensively) that the Brits were double-crossing and promised the land to the Jews and the Arabs and that is why - note Cyprus - they tried to prevent the migration of surviving Jews to Israel and, just after they escaped the Germans, put them in camps again, but foul promises from the Brits don't make for valid land ownership.
The [German] Federal Agency for Civic Education is a left-wing extremist propaganda machine, especially in the Green-Party-ruled Baden-Wuerttemberg, but even they don't pretend it's a land of Palestinians:
First: It's not their country.
Second: They made an offer and a possibility to found their own and self-governing state, and for that they simply and plainly were too stupid and too quarrelsome.
It's not about the country for them. It's about fighting and nothing else.
And that is what you should tell them loud and clear. They always act like victims. But they are just victims of their own aggressiveness and discord. Today they're shouting "Free Palestine", but it's been offered to them and they were simply too stupid for that. And that's not surprising when you look at how they're behaving today in other countries like Germany or the USA. How are people like these supposed to found and maintain a state? What you should do is fill up all ad spaces with the message that there is no "free Palestine" as their own state merely because they were too dumb and too quarrelsome for that - and they still are today. Because they can't behave.
The problem is that they're bringing their aggressiveness to Germany and continuing it here.
And you could have known that in advance.
Apparently the federal government didn't know. And the pretend international law expert [minister of foreign affairs Annalena Baerbock] apparently was too challenged by international law studies. But we in the student dorm already knew this 35 years ago.
Palestinians
A short public service announcement.The German state made a grave error when it took in people like this in Germany. What a burden for the German nationals and for the free democratic order!
I don't take any issue when Germans demand the remigration of such people, if necessary after withdrawing the erroneously granted German citizenship.
Such a demand is, in my opinion, not politically extremist either. Rather, there is political extremism when you keep watching the actions of the neo-Sturmabteilung on German streets and just let the Islamic fascists, who lionize Jew murderers and harass Germans, do their thing.
The Federal Republic and the Grundgesetz [constitution] were not created for the sake of another national socialism - this time from the Middle East.

Regarding bombings and stuff:
- All Jews/Israelis that I have met so far in Germany, USA, Australia, Cyprus, have behaved completely peacefully, civilized, modern, respectfully. Not all of them were necessarily intelligent, some were dishonest, but always polite and never threatening.
- Palestinians, on the other hand, were notably uncivilized rioters even 35 years ago.

The [German] Federal Agency for Civic Education is a left-wing extremist propaganda machine, especially in the Green-Party-ruled Baden-Wuerttemberg, but even they don't pretend it's a land of Palestinians:
[emphasis added by the author]There are traces of settlements in this area as early as the Paleolithic period. Jericho was founded around 9000 BC. In the Bronze Age (3300 BC) the Canaanites populated the land. Today's Palestinian national movement likes to refer to the Canaanites as supposedly direct ancestors of today's Palestinians. However, this is a pseudo-historical myth.
Towards the end of the 13th century BC, the first mention of "Hebrews", an early term for members of the people of Israel, was made. In the course of the 12th century BC, the Philistines, members of the so-called Sea Peoples, who came from the Aegean region, appeared. After that, the Israelites, the Assyrians, the Babylonians and the Persians ruled the country. They were followed by Alexander the Great, the Ptolemies, the Seleucids, the Romans and the Byzantines.
In 637 AD, Muslims conquered Jerusalem. Between 687 and 717, the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque were built on the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif) in Jerusalem - on the site where the (Jewish) Herodian Temple had once stood until it was destroyed by the Roman army in 70 AD, and from where, according to Islamic belief, the Muslim prophet Mohammed later set out on his journey to heaven. Jerusalem is therefore considered the third most important holy site in Islam after Mecca and Medina. From the 7th century AD, there was a Muslim presence in Palestine alongside a Jewish and a Christian presence.
With the beginning of the Crusades at the end of the 11th century AD, four Christian Crusader states were established in Palestine. Sultan Saladin largely defeated the Crusaders in 1187 and conquered Jerusalem. Mamluk dynasties ruled Palestine from 1291. After Ottoman Turks defeated the Mamluks in 1516, they incorporated Palestine into the Ottoman Empire, of which it remained for more than four centuries - until 1917.
British Mandate over Palestine 1923
In the First World War, British troops conquered the territory of Palestine in 1917/18. However, by that time the British had already made contradictory promises about its future: in the so-called Hussein-McMahon correspondence (PDF with excerpts in English), the British High Commissioner in Egypt promised the Sharif of Mecca in 1916 that he would support his wish for an independent and united Arab kingdom in this region too. In 1917, however, the British Foreign Secretary assured the Zionist movement in the so-called Balfour Declaration (feature on Deutschlandfunk Kultur) of support for "a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine". But it also said that "nothing should happen that could call into question the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine (...)".
At the same time, in 1916, the British diplomat Mark Sykes and the French diplomat François Georges-Picot divided most of West Asia into a British and a French sphere of influence in the so-called Sykes-Picot Agreement . It was stipulated that most of the territory of Palestine would be under international administration, but that other parts would be ruled or controlled by Great Britain. However, this international administration did not come into being. Instead, Great Britain was given the mandate for Palestine at the San Remo Conference in 1920, which the League of Nations confirmed in 1922. At the same time, the League of Nations declared the Balfour Declaration to be part of the British Mandate Treaty.
During the British Mandate of Palestine, Jewish-Palestinian conflicts became increasingly more intense, even escalating into armed conflict. One reason was the rise of Zionism and the increasing Jewish immigration from European countries where Jews were persecuted - including Nazi Germany and its allies. Several waves of immigration from the end of the 19th century caused the Jewish population in Palestine to grow to around 30 percent by 1945. The British were no longer able to control the conflict. Under the pressure of events, they announced in 1947 that they would return the Mandate for Palestine to the United Nations.
UN partition resolution of 1947
In May 1947, the United Nations established the UNSCOP (United Nations Special Committee on Palestine) to find a solution to the simmering conflict. While the representatives of the Jewish population worked together with the members of the UN committee, the Arab side boycotted the committee. In concrete terms, this meant that the Arab population living in the British Mandate was not involved in the decision-making process.
In their report published on September 1, 1947, the members of UNSCOP recommended ending the British mandate and dividing the previous mandate territory. The UN General Assembly followed the commission's recommendation and decided on November 29, 1947, to divide Palestine into an Arab and a Jewish state between the Jordan and the Mediterranean. Jerusalem was to be under international administration.
The partition plan was roughly based on the existing settlement conditions. The parts of the country with a majority Arab population were added to the Arab-Palestinian state to be founded. In the area of the future Israeli state, the Jewish population was in the majority - although a large Arab population also lived there. From the perspective of the Arab-Palestinian population, however, the partition plan did not adequately reflect the social majority conditions. In 1947, around 1.41 million Arab Palestinians and around 650,000 Jews lived in the British Mandate, and they owned only 5.7 percent of the land. Nevertheless, according to the partition plan, the Arab state was only to cover around 43 percent of the total area of the British Mandate, while around 56 percent of the area was earmarked for the Jewish state.
33 states voted for the resolution, 13 voted against, including the six Arab member states, and ten abstained. The Arab population of Palestine rejected the partition plan, as did the other Arab states. Although they recognized the suffering and injustice that Jews had suffered in Europe, they rejected the idea that the State of Israel would be established at the expense of the Arab inhabitants of Palestine and that new injustice would be committed. In their opinion, the United Nations also had no right to decide on Palestine's future against the will and at the expense of the Arab majority living there. The Jewish population accepted the plan. It offered them the prospect of their own state with broad international recognition on the soil of the "Land of Israel". On the Arab side, however, the rejection went so far that the Arab High Committee in Palestine renounced the establishment of a Palestinian-Arab state, thus missing the opportunity to realize the Palestinians' right to self-determination.
It was clear to all those involved that the UN partition plan would not be implemented without further ado. The fighting on the ground increased and soon reached civil war-like proportions. There were attacks and killings of civilians on both sides.
[...]
1948 to 1967: The “catastrophe” is followed by the “setback”
By rejecting the UN partition plan, the Palestinians missed their historic opportunity for self-determination and relied on other Arab states. These states lost the wars over the former Mandate of Palestine, partly because they pursued their own interests. Only over time did the Palestinians increasingly take their self-determination into their own hands.
First: It's not their country.
Second: They made an offer and a possibility to found their own and self-governing state, and for that they simply and plainly were too stupid and too quarrelsome.
It's not about the country for them. It's about fighting and nothing else.
And that is what you should tell them loud and clear. They always act like victims. But they are just victims of their own aggressiveness and discord. Today they're shouting "Free Palestine", but it's been offered to them and they were simply too stupid for that. And that's not surprising when you look at how they're behaving today in other countries like Germany or the USA. How are people like these supposed to found and maintain a state?
