Facts are a better base of accuses than fantasy.
We should agree that the human rights situation must be steadily enhanced in all countries of the world.
After looking up the ai-report for germany, comparing to the one of Turkey, I state even more confidently than before that Germany's human rights situation is not so bad - c o m p a r a t i v e l y. You might also compare Germany's record to the one of the US and don't forget: The number of Germany's inhabitants is around a quarter of the US population so there is no excuses based on the state's size for the much bigger report and the higher severeness of the inhumanity in the US police and penitentiary system. I don't want to excuse/accuse Germany, Turkey or the US, but I'm asking to take scales into account.
Sorry I made too many words before, and now again.
On the sephardim issue I am going to answer Neocon in a separate posting.
Meanwhile I am still waiting for you to tell me the democratic European country with a cultural bias so strong, that black persons, or muslims, or whatever you might have thought of, do not appear in the TV or cannot assume positive characters.
Or you might give me other evidence for your theses and state them again to make sure about which topic we are talking. In principle I wanted relation to views on the Kosovo conflict, not on Germany.
Is your idea that the Kosovo conflict could be handled better by giving arms to Kosovans, and that the NATO didn't consider that because Kosovo Albanians are predominantly muslim, while Europe or maybe NATO is culturally biased? It would be something to discuss on rather than low-level TV-programmes.
My main motivation to conforont your fantasy was to show up that there is cultural bias in anybody of us, and we have no means at all to be free from it. The confrontation to your irrealistic views of European TV is only to exemplify my thesis. But you can exemplify also, maybe you find another traditionally democratic country inside Europe that constrains as much ... see above. That is, when you don't like to come to a better point.
Definitely best regards,
