They’re not criminals…

They’re just young.

German crime statistics: false blame on migrants? Is it true that the crime rate in Germany is higher among immigrants? Statistics suggest as much, but numbers by themselves can be misleading. An expert explains what’s behind them.

“Non-Germans are, on average, significantly younger than Germans,” says the expert, adding: “Young men are a demographic group that frequently stand out for their involvement in criminal activity, not only in Germany but worldwide.”

Sorry, but do you really need a search tool for that?

It would be much more efficient to develop a search tool to find the tiny handful of ancestors who weren’t in the party.

New online search tool in Germany reveals if ancestors were Nazi Party members – In partnership with American and German archives, the weekly ‘Die Zeit’ has launched a searchable tool granting access to more than 12 million documents, cataloging the bulk of Nazi Party (NSDAP) memberships from 1925 to 1945.

German of the day: Tempolimit

That means speed limit.

And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.

‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis – Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing.

The Left is anti-Israel?

No way. Who would have thought that?

And I thought I was a slow learner.

German Antisemitism Commissioner Leaves the Left Party Over Anti-Israel Stance, Lack of Support Amid Death Threats – Andreas Büttner, the commissioner for antisemitism in the state of Brandenburg in northeastern Germany, has resigned from the Left Party, citing a rise in antisemitism within the ranks, relentless personal attacks, and a party climate that has become intolerable.

“I struggled with this decision for a long time, as I have felt a deep connection to the party over many years,” Büttner wrote in a letter to the party leadership, as reported by German media.

“But I have reached a point where I must acknowledge that I can no longer remain a member of this party without betraying my own convictions,” he continued.

Young Germans are volunteering to fight for their country!

Just joking.

“I don’t think I’ll be dying for my friends, relatives or acquaintances, in the worst-case scenario,” 17-year-old Shmuel Schatz, spokesperson for the School Strike Committee, told DW’s Gasia Ohanes. “Rather, in the end, only for those who are put into the trenches for the interests of large corporations like Rheinmetall, ThyssenKrupp, and others, so they can line their pockets at the expense of war.”
