Former Lebanese Minister: “I Support the Germans Because They Burned the Jews”

From Weasel Zippers:

Interviewer: Who do you support [in the World Cup]?

Wiam Wahhab: My children and I supported Brazil.

Interviewer: Me too.

Wiam Wahhab: Brasil lost. My wife supports Germany. We drive the kids mad. Now I am supporting Argentina.

Interviewer: You have become subordinate to your wife when it comes to soccer?

Wiam Wahhab: No. I support Germany in politics and Brazil in soccer. I like the way Brazil plays. But I like the Germans because they hate the Jews and they burned them.
