OF COURSE they are a threat to world peace...they claim to be god's chosen people while the rest of us are just considered goyim. on top of that they hold a nuclear arsenal with no oversight, which they feel they can use at any moment and be 100% justified in their actions BECAUSE they are god's people...
yeah...and the catholics claim to be god's children, and the muslims claim to be gods children, but jews!...hold on there, that's a whole different story. just because every country around israel wants them all dead...then of course, they (israel) are the threat!!....and by the way....an 84 (born in 1928) year old german guy saying jews are a threat would not be a shocking thing to hear...what? is he pissed off that they ONLY GOT TO MURDER 6 MILLION OF THEM!!

Thanks for your input, but I don't see any marxist communist influence anywhere.
The wizard of OZ is more an allegory of ANY dictatorship, as are the works of Orson Wells. It is not about the left or the right, but about the extremists.
They are always very similar on both sides. Grass always wrote against this, now both sides accuse him to be the bad guy.
Who wonders?

You are welcome.
Well, OK then, what exactly happened to the once wealthy, powerful,expelled Soviets?
Are you going to tell me they just evaporated???
And I hope you don't think there is really a left and right.
It's just one big fat Country Club son. Must be my anologies were a tad poor.
Happy Easter

I agree 100% on this one. I perceive Russia as a country hat is reigned by a kind of mafia - same as it was before. For some reason the western governments like them now more. Maybe a gangster in a suit is more similar to our politicians than someone in a uniform talking about Lenin and Marx as if they really cared for their words.
Those wizards of OZ are everywhere and usually their biggest pain are writers who take off their masks.
So here we are back on topic. Grass simply said the obvious.
Happy Easter to you, too.
