Regarding the terror-attack on the synagogue in Germany... A bit insight.
The first Neonazi-party of post-WWII Germany was the REP.
When all the violent right-wing extremists joined up, the party lost voters.
It was replaced by another fresh, newly founded Neonazi-party, the DVU.
When all the violent right-wing extremists joined up, the party lost voters.
It was replaced by another fresh, newly founded Neonazi-party, the NPD.
When all the violent right-wing extremists joined up, the party lost voters.
It was replaced by another fresh, newly founded Neonazi-party, the AfD.
Oops, sorry, the AfD IS NOT a Neonazi-party. They are a party of concerned, perfectly ordinary citizens who just so happen to absolutely hate immigrants.
And they are the party the violent Neonazis vote for. But don't you dare call them a Neonazi-party.
The head of the party tweeted her condolences for the people killed and wounded in the terror-attack on the synagogue. The Twitter-community jumped on her, for pretending that all the prior provocations and publicity-stunts and frivolous bills and anti-immigrant rethoric and anti-muslim rethoric and nationalist diatribes of the AfD are somehow totally unrelated to the attack.
Oh, but the AfD also has defenders on Twitter. They lash out how others dare to politicize the condolences. How dare they criticize Germany's biggest far-right party in the wake of a far-right terror-attack?
And just so you know who the AfD are:
* In 2003, Martin Hohmann held a speech in the Bundestag lamenting how it's always the Germans who get blamed for WWII. How nobody dares to talk about the jewish agitation against the Germans at the time. He was kicked out of Merkel's Conservatives and later joined the AfD.
* On June 2nd 2019, the conservative state-representative Walter Lübcke was assassinated. He had made headlines standing up for immigrants. His murderer, Stephan Ernst, had decades of connection the violent far-right and was a small-time AfD-donor.
* During a ceremony in state-parliament, when all politicians stood up for a minute of silence to honor Lübcke's death, the AfD-representative deliberately refused to stand up.
