The poem by Günter Grass

[Middle-aged Europe]

A sympathetic interpretation of his poem is that Grass has "exaggerated" quite a bit.

But his critics of the past few days are certainly guilty of that even more than him. Grass is "returning to his National Socialist roots", "at the core he's brown"... seriously, wtf? Ever heard of Godwin's Law?

Everybody should just shut the f**k the up (including Grass himself, I suppose).

Israeli interior minister Eli Yishai has banned Günter Grass from entering Israel.

Which means that Yishai is still the same moron who once wished that a cure for the condition of homosexuality would be discovered, among other moronic things.

Israeli interior minister Eli Yishai has banned Günter Grass from entering Israel.

That'll teach him!

It's a basic thing for a country to be able to decide who can and can't enter the country and an activist against that country seems like a good candidate for being banned, so I really don't see any problem with this.

So, basically what you are saying is that sovereign governments have the right to act stupid.

This is of course true.

(Just like you have the right to write stupid poems in a free society, of course. )
