One anti-semite less...

Politicians seem to be accident-prone after their career gets wrecked, recently there was a case here in Finland - a MP, Rainer Erlund of Swedish People's Party was kicked out of his party and fined after sexually harassing a fifteen-year-old and soon after that died in a boating accident.

Also reminds of Uwe Barschel's death in 1987, after he was accused of some sh!t in Schleswig-Holstein.

I knew it... he was "Staatsminister im Auswärtigen Amt". Is that the same as Bundesminister or is it his lackey?

[Ecthy]

yes, yes, he was Genscher's lackey until 1987. And in 1991, he became federal minister for economic affairs, until 1993 when the favouritism event occured. You see my compatriot, I wasn't all that wrong.

Ding Dong: The Witch is Dead

Do you think, they'll get a clear overview of his connections to the arabian countrys? I'd really like to know, where the money came from, he used for his anti-semitic campaigns..

[lord of the mark]

now if only we could get the nice, non anti-semitic german pols, like FM Fischer to support Abu Mazen and the new peace process and stop visiting Yasser Arafat, we'd really have something.

[Ecthy]

who knows, he was probably well-funded by his pals on the other side of the (old) world.

they just had a stupid parachuter interviewed on a German news channel.

[Ecthy]

lotm, you're just being a (pro-)zionist

[Ecthy]

and it doesn't look like Fischer's party will be in any coalition for the next pack of years, especially not in case he is ultimately proposed the position of a European foreign secretary

well yeah, but also pro-Palestinian - anybody who things that visiting with Yasser and undercutting Abu Mazen is good for the Pals has his head up his derrierre, as we say in frenchified English.

who is abu mazen? free barghouti (sp?)!

Here's the BBC article on the issue:

German politician in death plunge
A controversial former German minister has died in a parachute jump, shortly after MPs voted to lift his immunity over sleaze allegations.

Police said Juergen Moellemann died in a fall over the town of Marl in his home state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Thursday's parliamentary vote paved the way for investigators to search Mr Moellemann's home and 24 other addresses in Germany, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg and Spain.

Mr Moellemann, the former deputy leader of Germany's centrist Free Democratic Party (FDP), was being investigated over allegations that he broke the law on party funding, fraud and breach of trust.

He resigned from his post in March after he was accused of anti-Semitism in the run up to last year's elections.

Mr Moellemann had gone to the airfield with nine friends, AFP news agency reported. He jumped out of a plane at 4,000 metres (13,200 feet).

'Time for sympathy'

FDP leader Guido Westerwelle expressed "deep sadness" at Mr Moellemann's death.

"This is not the time for political differences but for sympathy," he said.

Mr Moellemann, 57, was elected to parliament in 1972 and served as education minister and later economics minister under former Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

He stepped down as a minister in 1993.

Mr Moellemann had a passion for skydiving and often arrived by parachute at party rallies.

He was married with two daughters.

Abu Mazen (nom de Guerre of Mahmud Abbas) is the new Pal Prime Minister, appointed by Arafat after pressure both from abroad (especially the US, the EU coming along reluctantly) and from within (the PLC - the Pal Leg Council or parliament)

Abu mazen is purported to be more moderate, and more seriously opposed to violence and terrort, and possible also opposed to the corruption that has plagued the PA under Arafat. AM attended yesterdays summit with Sharon, Bush, and the King of Jordan.

While nominally Arafat's selected PM, AM is widely considered to be in a struggle with Arafat for control over the Pal cabinet, and Pal ministries, security services and other insitutions.

Far right Zionists claim this is a charade, that AM and Arafat are just playing good cop/bad cop. For a variety of reasons, i think the split is genuine.

One of Arafats sources of internal legitimacy is his connection with outside powers - his representing the Pals before the world. If AM replaces arafat in that role, AM (and peace) will be advanced. For obvious reasons, this must be Europeans - not Americans or Israelis.
Yet Joshka recently visited Yasser - since Yasser is, purportedly the head of the Pals and on the same side as AM. So a eurolefty takes the same view of the Yasser/AM split as does the Israeli far right - while anyone who is serious about peace recognizes the split, and hopes to strengthen AM.

hope this helps.
