A Better Way

Reader comment on item: Germany's Freiheit Party Joins the Fray

German political parties that promote "German peoplehood" usually portend ill for Jews. And if one religious minority is singled out for special attention, we cannot be far behind.

If some do, then of course prosecute those individuals vigorously.
