The vindictive Israeli PM Netanyahu has just [...] Continue Reading…

Today Germany remembers ‘Kristallnacht’, or if you like in English ”Night of Broken Glass” -specifically the night of November 9th 1938.

‘Mit” in German means ‘with’ and Mitt in English means…………well in this case right-wing millionaire loser, and most Europeans agree.
