Why is there not so much comedy in Germany? [Spirituality & Religion]

Comedy is taking a situation and smacking it out with an exaggeration that is outrageous. When I heard that he was reported to have said this - I said "no way" but he said it all right and darn it all if it is not the funniest thing imaginable just because it was such an outrageous thing to say.

Actually I look at Germany very differently. Firstly I am Jewish and yes we lost many family members to the murder of the Nazi's on both sides of my family. Also my family had all their money and property stolen from them by the Nazis because before it was the largest organized mass murder of an identifiable group it was the biggest theft of property from an identifiable group.

How do I look at this very differently? - The simple fact is that next to the USA, Israel has no bigger or stronger friend in the world than Germany. No doubt about it and the facts bear it out. Germany has basically gifted six Dolphin Submarines to Israel which together form the second strike capacity of the nation - the unsubstantiated rumour is that each is nuclear cruise missile equipped. Those submarines give concrete meaning to the phrase "never again" and they were suppled to the Jewish People and nation by Germany to ensure that no one ever thinks about killing a large number of Jews anywhere in the world ever again. If they tried - they would pay a terrible price for it and they darn well know it too - that is why there has not been a major war against Israel since 1973. The deterrent effects are quite substantial.

Oh - and one of my cars, my favourite actually, is a pristine low milage Mercedes Sedan - I use it among other things to drive my children to synagogue and to private Jewish schools so they get an education. What was - we don't ever forget or forgive - but what is - we must also recognize and appreciate. Germany today is NOT Germany of yesterday and the sins of the Fathers - are not the sins of the children. You heard a Jew say it - and I can do so where a Non-Jew might not do so quite as easily or without blow back for it. Would my Grandfather have driven this Benz? I don't think so - but I do. The world has changed and we have to change with the world.
