Well it is so difficult for me to understand what offends Jewish people and eBay that I have to expand the list of prohibited items I will not list or deal in to include all items having anything at all to do with Germany the German language or race and neighboring nations that may have been allies or associates of Germany. Let's just make it all of Europe to be safe. It is too difficult to determaine if items are associated with the periods we are supposed to hate so I am just applying a blanket ignore covering all times old and modern. Since I feel this is a stupid and emotional fixation that has nothing to do with reality because simply acknowleging an era and government did exist is NOT the same as glorifying it I award the same status to all Jewish items old and modern - both secular and religeous. No coins no Hebrew books, music, art. Nothing. They both do not exist in my world and I will thank you not to remind me of their existance. I don't wish to glorify either by calling attention to them in any way. I find both cultures equally obnoxious at different times through history as both have commited genocide and stabbed their allies in the back. Both have laid claim to being God's one and only special people and both have cuisine that sits on your stomach like a lead ball.
Both cultures produce women who are rude in public and men who are hell on earth to have as a boss.
Like two divorced people who hate each others guts and want their friends to take sides the friendship of one is not worth buying at the cost of mistreating the other so I will ignore both.
