As Israel’s 60th anniversary approaches - some praise its courage while ignoring abuses and ever-growing occupation and others at least acknowledge discrimination against Israelis Arabs - a fascinating idea appears to remove the problem from the Middle East entirely:
Medinat Weimar wishes to establish a Jewish state in Thuringia, Germany, with the city of Weimar as its capital.
Medinat Weimar is a solution to overcome the present crises and heal Jewish trauma, German guilt, East Mediterranean conflicts, East German troubles and many other problems in the world.
It makes perfect sense to me.
It only makes sense superficially. Then, thinking about it for more than 10 seconds, it’s just either beyond the pale or plain screwbally. Even to suggest it infers that there is a Jewish “problem.” So to promote this idea and then refer to it as “fascinating” strikes me as irresponsible.
