The below disturbing article comes from Der Spiegel Online (in English). It concerns the seeming popularity of Germans in the India/Pakistan region-for the wrong reasons.

This is not an isolated story. I remember a couple of years ago when German scholar Matthias Kuentzel came to speak at UC-Irvine. (Kuentzel is a supporter of Israel.) He told of traveling in the Middle East and being greeted with enthusiam by people he met-assuming he was a supporter of Hitler-which he decidedly is not. (Yes, I know that India and Pakistan are not in the Middle East.)
That should not come as a surprise. Hitler's Mein Kampf is still a best-seller in the Middle East-as is the fabricated Protocols of the Elders of Zion-which millions accept as factual. It is undeniable that anti-Jewish feeling is strong in the Middle East-even though few Jews still remain after most were driven out post-1948.
This is a facet of the Middle East conflict that must never be forgotten.
