German firm to Israeli client: Jews are a disease

Manufacturer in Nuremberg sends anti-Semitic mail to owner of Tel Aviv toy store after business deal turns sour.

Eti Doron wanted to buy toys from a company in Germany for her store in Tel Aviv, but when the deal fell through she started receiving anti-Semitic letters.

Doron provided The Jerusalem Post with emails in which Walter Adler, who identifies as the founder of Hoff-Interieur, a manufacturer based in Nuremberg, calls Jews a disease and praises German poet Günther Grass for saying Israel is a danger to world peace.

We’re not even interested in the business aspect of the deal, this is the most anti- Semitic and vile response one can imagine with all the stereotypes of Jews,” said CEO Grisha Alroi-Arloser. “If you look at blogs today in Germany after what Günther Grass said then there is a real problem, a deep-rooted issue that needs to be addressed.”

I would question how true this even is. Surely they are on a mission to get this Gunther Grass fellow and would like to bring him down in any way possible even if it is guilt by association or something along those lines. And you really wonder when you see lines like the one in bold. They want desperately to be able to say his words incite "hate."
