The Germans, the Jews and the Israelis

The Günther Jauch programme this evening discussed Günther Grass's latest poem, which is, by many people, considered to be anti-Semitic.

Germans born before 1928 need a special visa to visit Israel.

Angela Merkel four years ago said in the Knesset, for the Germans the security and existence of Israel is now and never can be negotiable..

The Germans export submarines to Israel.

It was one of those most unusual moments on television when the Germans discussed their relationship with Isreal in such an open manner.

The Germans would dismiss as outrageous words uttered by Catholic priests in recent months, from Ireland to Australia.

Great programme.
