Four German News Stories

 1.  Some hype building up over German tax funds going to Palestinian organizations (charity type situations going on for several years).  FDP and CDU-CSU say 'enough'....halt these.  Going to be hard for Greens and SPD to defend this in public.  Might be curious to see how AfD (right-wing) plays this hype.

2.  Evacuation flight being arranged out of Israel for Germans there.  Lufthansa will be the airline to accomplish this. 

3.  Some chatter starting up among state governments in Germany.....making a law of sorts that requires asylum seekers to 'work'.  Would likely be court-challenged.....same philosophy should require Germans also to 'work'....if getting welfare.  'What' work would open up a big long discussion.  

4.  In economic news, in the past 12 months.....34 German hospitals/clinics have declared bankruptcy.
