There's an interesting German article over at the London Telegraph today.
It may be a shocker to some....but Germany has quietly been funding a Jewisih rabbi training deal for a number of years. This topic comes up because the Germans did a bit of thinking....and found that there are different kinds of Jews (yes, shocking, isn't it?).
They've discovered that the old fashioned type of Jew....the Orthodox type.....were just too difficult to get along with. And those liberal rabbis, were the right variety that Germans could get along with. Thus, the liberal rabbi training areas are the ones that get funded by the German government now.
For most Germans, no one really cares. They are funding Islamic funding in German universities now, so why say anything critical about this topic?
I looked at the amount....over six million Euro ($7.5 dollars) and it's not a major sum of money anyway (compared to American stimulus values, you have to understand). This money goes to support the 120,000 Jews left in Germany today.
This is a topic that I never thought much about. You would think that most Jews would be anti-German anyway, but apparently this rebuilding effort within Germany is underway. As for the different labels to attach to Jews? The article suggests that the liberal Jewish crowd don't run around bringing up past history. So I could understand why Germans of 2010 kinda like that mentality....and hate the continual mention from the Orthodox Jews about the 1930s.
Let's be honest, it's Germany's money....and if they wanted to fund clown schools in Saarbrucken....they'd do it. They can pick the liberal guys over the Orthodox guys, and never feel bad about it. The only folks who ever feel bad about funding anything? The taxpayer. And they aren't allowed to speak in any case.

As a long-time observer of Germans and German media, it comes as no surprise that Spiegel has published yet another lengthy piece on the imminent collapse of the United States.
A Superpower in Decline.
Any ideas on why they have to do this every year or so?
@Jeffrey,
May be because of contribution of German communities of settlers in the U.S during days of mass migration and their toils to create industrial and material prosperity.Their fertile minds were hired by others for national construction and fruits of their labors exploited for personal benefit by colonial taxation.They were not involved directly except probably through their employers in slave trade and their spirit of individual freedom funded the supply of food for fighting troops during war of independence under George Washington. While their own German states were under subjugation of neighboring European nations until von Bismarck's chancellorship the new found U.S offered innumerable possibilities for States'construction and empowerment as the world's powerful nation of modern enlightenment.To say in JFK's address ask not what the Germans have 'not' done to the U.S historical development but ask what the Americans have done to promote understanding mutually under U.S Federation and European Deutscher Bund even under Kaiser's German Reich. In my opinion the Germans regard that American Prosperity is being exploited unethically and unscrupulously by certain parasitic elements within the multi-cultural American society which is actually meant as a haven of hope for the world's destitute as an economic support and a dream of fulfillment for their own fertile productive minds. Perhaps it is with empathetic considerations of their bitter experiences of previous century that the present tidings are reflected every year in the Spiegel taken with a pinch of salt.
