       @aral Also 🤦to: "We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world.Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end."Hadn't realized how far right economically Germany had slipped.

       @aral I see he was lowballing Carney's "international rules based order is dead" speech too.Whatever the German version is of a Dad's Army "Don't panic" skit.

       @aral Even hypocrites can speak the truth, & - in this case - he is, which doesn't excuse his hypocrisy.

       @rmblaber1956 It’s speaking the truth in one area and living the lie in another that makes you a hypocrite.

       @aral To avoid being a hypocrite means not only speaking the truth in one area, but living & speaking it in all areas. I'm afraid #German history makes it well-nigh impossible for far too many #Germans to see #Israel & the #Israeli Government with anything like clarity of vision.
