 social-democracy - Anarchopedia
The reformist socialists supported their respective national governments in the war, a fact that was seen by the revolutionary socialists as outright treason against the working class (since it betrayed the principle that the workers of all nations should unite in overthrowing capitalism).
According to historian Barbara Tuchman, a slow shift of European public opinion from 1880-1914, especially in Germany, had aligned nationalist and capitalist forces politically in favor of confrontation and war, and generally silenced pacifism and discredited revolutionary anarchism.
In general, those social democrats who merely want to improve capitalism have kept the name social democrats (by virtue of their majority position), while those who want to gradually abolish capitalism through democratic means are called democratic socialists.

For some background information: My mother was born in Germany and escaped when she was 9 years old with her parents one week before Kristallnacht.
To us, this would be a way of expressing the fact that despite all the attempts to wipe out the Jews of Germany, we have survived and thrived and are returning as Jews with the freedom to do as we please.
If this is at all possible, you might consider visiting Germany on your way to the bar mitzvah in Jerusalem – this would certainly enhance your feelings of liberty from persecution and exile to Jewish pride and freedom.

 Fast-tracking Aboriginal classrooms Israeli-style
The pioneering work that went on to inspire the Yachad Accelerated Learning Project (YALP), a new way of bringing students from deprived learning backgrounds up to a national education average, was first conceived at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
THE idea of applying the program to Australian Aborigines is what first interested Professor Langton, who is professor of indigenous studies at the University of Melbourne, to which she came from a position as a Ranger scholar of Aboriginal studies at Charles Darwin University in the Northern Territory.
When Professor Langton spent time in Israel as the first recipient of the NAB’s Yachad Scholarship in 2003, she came away convinced that the programs she studied in Professor Olshtain’s department at Hebrew University could be applied to Australia.

This place can in turn be tagged as a "homosexual venue", thereby allowing one to quickly retrieve all data on persons associated with homosexuality.
Interestingly, there exists no corresponding category for crime victims: apparently, the designers of the software were only thinking of prosecuting homosexuals, and not of victims of hate crimes against homosexuals.
Homosexuality was a crime in Germany until 1969, and the corresponding part of the criminal code (§175 StGB) was not abolished until 1994.

 Alex Taylor - Kulam Yachad - The Lesson of Milli Vanilli
For those unfamiliar with the story, Milli Vanilli was the duo of Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus.
They formed in the mid-1980s in Germany, and though they were promised a record deal of their own, they ended up being a front band for musicians Charles Shaw, Johnny Davis and Brad Howell.
Morvan and Pilatus were chosen because they were good-looking and young, while Shaw, Davis and Howell were unmarketable in the pop scene because they weren't young, good-looking or hip.
