You cannot lift a finger against the jews. They get to do all the nasty things but the moment you criticise them, you will be denounce as racist.

Even Jews served in the kraut army..guess this singkie knows fuck all.
When Hitler honored Jewish soldiers
The Nazi regime conferred honors on many of the 100,000 Jews who fought in the German army in the Great War, even on some who had already escaped to Palestine.

The army unit where Hermann Bendheim served in WWI.Credit: Udi Bendheim
On June 15, 1935, two years after the Nazis’ rise to power, Hermann Bendheim was invited to the German Consulate in Jerusalem. The representatives of the Third Reich in Palestine awarded him a badge of honor for his service in the German army in World War I.
Two years earlier, Bendheim had been dismissed from his engineering job in Germany because he was a Jew. In the wake of the dismissal he left his homeland and immigrated to Palestine, a persecuted Jew.
None of this bothered the organizers of the event in Jerusalem. Bendheim was awarded the “Cross of Honor for Fighters on the Front” in the name of the Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler, and the then-late president of the Reich, Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, “in commemoration of the World War 1914-1918.” Even his professional credential – “certified engineer” – is listed on the certificate. The Nazis also noted his then-current place of residence: “[Kibbutz] Yagur, near Haifa.”
June 28, 2014, marked the centenary of the event that triggered World War I: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, in Sarajevo. About 100,000 Jews fought on the German side in the war; 12,000 of them were killed in action. Many were decorated for their valor on the front. Some were even granted the distinguished Cross of Honor. Nazi Germany started to distribute these awards in 1934, to mark the 20th anniversary of the war Germany had lost.
Apparently, some of the children and grandchildren of these Yekkes (German-speaking Jews) in modern-day Israel, many of whom are members of the Association of Israelis of Central European Origin, still have these keepsakes.
“Many of the association’s members are descendants of soldiers who fought heroically and tenaciously as part of the German army in World War I,” Devorah Haberfeld, the AICEO’s director, told me recently. “The fact that Nazi Germany awarded Jewish fighters medals in the name of the Fuehrer and the Reich, shortly before the Jews were stripped of their civil rights and were incarcerated, deported and finally annihilated, is an almost incomprehensible absurdity.”
Hermann Bendheim was born in 1899 in the town of Bensheim in southwestern Germany. A teenager when the war erupted, he volunteered for the German army. He served as a gunner on the French front and was awarded the Iron Cross while the fighting still raged. His mother, Hänchen Bendheim, a religiously observant woman, served in the German Red Cross and also received a medal for her contribution to the war effort.
After the war, Bendheim studied engineering at the Darmstadt University of Technology and worked in German industry. On August 28, 1933, he was fired from his job in a porcelain factory as “an undesirable Jew,” though the dismissal notice he received sounds more like a letter of recommendation: His many qualifications are listed, but the company notes that because of “political changes and personnel policy stemming from them” – it was compelled to let Bendheim go. “We very much regret having to lose his work capability,” the notice states.
That same year he visited Palestine with his fiancée, Erna. The two then returned to Germany and were married, before immigrating in 1934. His son, Dr. Udi Bendheim, a veterinarian who specializes in avian diseases, told Haaretz: “He packed his things, including documents and items that were forbidden to be removed from Germany. He wrapped them all in a towel on which he placed his Iron Cross.” When a customs agent opened the suitcase and saw the Iron Cross, he gave Bendheim the Nazi salute and sent him on his way, without examining the bag.
The couple settled in Nesher, outside Haifa, where Bendheim worked as an engineer in a cement factory. Erna and her twin sister opened a boarding house in Nahariya, which is now a boutique hotel named after Erna.
When Bendheim was invited to the German consulate in Jerusalem and to receive the Cross of Honor, the diplomats who received him had no idea, of course, that a few years later, during World War II, Bendheim would volunteer for the Homeland Guard – a civilian defense body that was established in light of a possible German invasion of Palestine.
Bendheim died in 1962. His son (the Bendheims’ only child) still has the photographs his father took in the Great War. One shows the unit’s huge artillery piece, the mega-cannon known as “Big Bertha.” The tractor that towed the immense gun to its place is seen in another photo. His father did not tell him about the decoration he received from the Nazis after he immigrated to Palestine.
“It was only after his death, when I was rummaging through his papers, that I found out about it,” Udi Bendheim says now.
Three years ago, the town of Bensheim held a ceremony in which the square adjacent to its one-time synagogue – which was destroyed during the events of Kristallnacht, in 1938 – was named Bendheim Square, in honor of the family.
Ilana Brosh and her sister, Irit Danziger, also still have the medal awarded by the Nazis to their grandfather. Dr. Adolf Samuel was born in Frankfurt in 1893 to an assimilated Jewish family. During the war, he was a cavalry officer on the eastern front. According to his granddaughters, he was a “good German patriot,” joined the army “enthusiastically” and was proud of his service.
After the war he became a dentist. Following the Nazis’ rise to power, he too was decorated by them, “in the name of the Fuehrer and the Reich Chancellor.” The award ceremony took place in Frankfurt, in 1935. A swastika is clearly visible on the document Samuel received from the Nazis with the citation, presented by the head of the Frankfurt police.
“He believed that because of his loyalty to the Fatherland, no harm would befall him – after all, he received the coveted Cross of Honor,” the granddaughters told me. But in March 1938, realizing he had been wrong, he immigrated to England, setting up a dental clinic in London. He died in 1978.
‘Patriotic fever’
“The Jews saw the war as a chance to prove to themselves, to those around them and to the emperor their absolute loyalty: ‘more German than the Germans,’” notes Reuven Merhav, a former Foreign Ministry director general and official of the Shin Bet and Mossad security services, who is descended from a Yekke family. “The most prominent of the community’s leaders published articles dripping with patriotic fervor. Thousands of Jews who were under draft age made every effort to volunteer for service. Moving nationalist sermons were given in the synagogues.”
Merhav’s father, Dr. Walter Markowicz, was one of those soldiers. Born in Germany in 1897, he volunteered for the army at the age of 17 and was sent to the eastern front, near Minsk, serving in the signal corps. After the war, he joined the Zionist movement, became a physician and settled in a small town near Cologne.
At the last moment, he and his girlfriend were able to get certificates enabling them to immigrate to Palestine.
“The last document he received, just before he left Germany at the end of 1935, was confirmation from the Fuehrer, Hitler, that the Cross of Honor would be awarded to the frontline soldiers. He also received a character reference from the chief of police, which allowed him to leave,” Merhav relates, adding that his father practiced medicine in Israel until his death in 1960, in Haifa.
The award Markowicz received did not help his own father, Julius, who in 1942 was sent to Theresienstadt and murdered there.
“My father never forgave himself for not managing to save him,” Merhav explains. “Whenever he spoke about him, sadness crossed his face.”
An exhibit at the Museum for German-Speaking Jewry at Tefen, in the Galilee, includes a certificate that accompanied the Cross of Honor for frontline fighters, which was awarded to Otto Meyer on January 4, 1935, in the small German town of Rheda. Two years later, Meyer and his family immigrated to Palestine and settled in Nahariya, like many other Yekkes.
Meyer was born in 1886 in Berlin. He studied law and owned a factory. In 1915 he left his wife and children to take part in the war effort. He fought against the French and rose to officer rank. Like others, he too was awarded the Iron Cross during the war. He sent his families photographs that he took while fighting, along with drawings and letters.
Meyer arrived in Palestine at the age of 51. The doctor of law and former second lieutenant in the German infantry started his new life as a worker in a chicken coop. In his spare time he contributed to the development of Nahariya and its cultural life. He died in 1954. His son, Andreas Meyer, 95, a resident of Kfar Vradim – a locale which, like the nearby Tefen site, was established by the industrialist and Yekke Stef Wertheimer – continues to safeguard his father’s decorations and other certificates of honor to this day.
The Nazis’ awarding of various distinctions to Jewish soldiers who served Germany was one example of many of the regime’s internal contradictions. Other descendants of Yekkes living in Israel today have in their possession doctoral diplomas that were sent from Germany to new addresses in Palestine, in swastika-adorned envelopes. This can be seen as an example of blind German bureaucracy, or as an inexplicable absurdity.
In the initial stage of the Nazi rise to power, there were some Jews who pinned their hopes on such gestures. On July 19, 1934, the Jewish German weekly C.V.-Zeitung published an article headlined “Cross of Honor,” in which it addressed the subject of the decorations the Nazis awarded to Jews who had fought in World War I. “The German Jews… will bear the Cross of Honor proudly and will keep alive the memory of the great days of the common Jewish-German history,” the article said.

Woman in S'pore confronts 15-year-old boy displaying Nazi symbols in train, police report made
The youth said he was not speaking to anyone about the issue.
Sulaiman Daud |
December 19, 2020, 04:26 PM
A woman in Singapore took to Facebook to recount her experience with a youth sporting the symbol of the German Nazi party.
In a Facebook post on Dec. 17, the woman, surnamed Mitchell, posted that she encountered a 15-year-old boy on the MRT while travelling from Harbourfront to Punggol the day before.
He was wearing a Nazi swastika on his left sleeve (identified by its distinctive colour scheme and orientation of the swastika).
According to Mitchell, he was also wearing another Nazi swastika on his right sleeve, a badge of the Nazi eagle by his zipper, and also one on his mobile phone case.
Mitchell then started a conversation with the youth about displaying the Nazi insignias, adding that she could not remember the entire exchange, but only used quotes when she was "100 per cent sure" of what either of them said.
"Excuse me, are you aware of what you are wearing and what that (symbolises) factually and historically?"
"Er, Yes."
"So, you're a supporter of the Nazi Party?"
"Yes."
"So you support genocide and murder and torture and morally you're completely aligned with the actions they took?"
He then said, "No, I don't support them 100%, I don't agree with everything they did. I get depressed when people think that's all that they did," and then made an attempt to explain what "good" the Nazis did.
Honestly, given we were on a train and that he was wearing a mask, I didn't hear a single thing that he said. But no one and nothing can justify the actions of the Nazis.
Hate symbol
Mitchell added that she asked if he understood that he was wearing a hate symbol, and that it was inappropriate and unacceptable to be worn in public, or at all.
He didn't reply, and she asked him if he was having conversations with others about what he was wearing. He said he was not.
Mitchell noted that this was, in her view, an example of privilege as he was able to display such symbols without getting harassed or attacked for it. She added that it was upsetting that this was the first time he was confronted about it, as "Singapore is a not a confrontational society."
Mitchell also mentioned that when she posted the story on her Instagram, she had people of various ages and educational backgrounds telling her that the use of the swastika in Singapore is innocent, even though the youth was displaying an obvious Nazi swastika.
Just 15
Mitchell asked how old the youth was, and he said he was 15.
She asked if he thought it was okay to display such symbols and try to justify the actions of the Nazis, who killed millions of civilians and prisoners in the Holocaust in World War 2.
Although he just "kept looking at her silently", she told him to do more research, open his mind to more political parties, and realise just how "absolutely unjustifiable" was his choice to display the swastika.
"After I finished speaking to him, he stood up and said "thank you, I will consider [doing more research]." and left the train," she added.
Police investigation ongoing, but the public should not personally attack a minor
In a Dec. 18 update to her post, Mitchell said that she was contacted by an investigating security officer, a formal report has been made and the matter is being investigated.
Speaking to Mothership, Mitchell confirmed that she was contacted by the police, and there is an ongoing investigation.
She did not make the report herself, but another member of the public did so based on her Facebook post.
Mitchell added that she stands by the thoughts and feelings expressed in her original post.
However, she wanted to add that now the post has been shared and others are commenting, people should keep in mind that the youth is a minor, and this is not an opportunity to attack him personally.
But if he was older, there would be a heavier weight to his actions and much more severe consequences.
Under Section 298A of the Penal Code, it is an offence to knowingly promote enmity between different groups on grounds of religion or race and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony, whether by words, signs or visible representations.
