(El día que vea que hay un dia de duelo en las potencias coloniales e imperios pro las víctimas qeu masacraron y masacran entonces dire ok, un dia en memoria, pero cuando solo se recuerda a un grupo étnico y se sacapartido veo algo podrido ahí, hipócrita)
German far-right party plans anti-Israel rally
January 22, 2009
BERLIN (JTA) -- Germany's largest far-right party plans to demonstrate against Israel on Germany's official Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The National Democratic Party of Germany announced it will hold a "silent vigil" on Jan. 27, to demand a "stop to the Israeli Holocaust in Gaza." The vigil is scheduled for that evening, in the Mitte district of Central Berlin.
The right-extremist party, which has representatives in a handful of state parliaments, and counts some 7,200 members nationwide, said in an announcement that even the current cease-fire "could not obscure the fact that the Israeli war is genocidal... In our own country we oppose foreign rule, and we recognize the rights of Palestinians to their own state without having to submit to Israeli domination."
Germany's national day of remembrance coincides with the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops in 1945. In 2005, NPD legislators walked out of the parliament of Saxony during a moment of silence honoring the victims of the Holocaust, after claiming that Germans were the true victims.
In related news, the German Press Agency reported Thursday that, for the second time in two months, police found hidden weapons during a search related to right-wing extremists in the state of Lower Saxony. Also Thursday, Holger Apfel, NPD political leader in the former East German state of Saxony, praised Nazi-era racist policies as "pro-family."
There have been increased calls for outlawing the NPD, particularly from Jewish leaders in Germany. An effort to do so in 2003 failed on a legal technicality, and even those who support a ban today warn that the government must build a foolproof case this time.
