Israel fights to defend itself against a backdrop of relentless aggression from 100′s of millions of its neighbors which have pledged and attempted to destroy the tiny Jewish nation time and again over the past 60 years. The Germans of all people should understand what it means to be hunted in your own land, as they hunted us to near extinction a few decades ago. If they find it hard to contain themselves from criticism of Israel, I’m not surprised, as the Jew-hating gene is a prevalent as ever in their biological make-up. Shame, remorse, humility are all temporary feelings which can easily whither away evolving into cynicism and contempt.
