Assaf Uni, Haaretz Correspondent: Poll: Most Germans say country has no special ties with Israel
Talkback

Actually the numbers are rather contradicting,
aren`t they....????

53 % of Germans feel no responsibility towards
Israel, but 58 % wanna come to her help, if
she gets attacked.....

Well, actually that`s exactly my point.

Of course, because of the past, many Germans
feel "solidary" with Israel. However, many
of them can`t understand, why their generation,
who had nothing to do with the Holocaust, should
still have to pay Israel (relatively) big
amounts of $$$$ every year.

And by the way, I wasn`t joking at all with my
holiday-example, believe it or not, but on a
flight from Johannesburg to Windhoek (Namibia),
that was even the first topic my German neigh-
bour brought up.....

This is indeed something many Germans feel rather passionately about....
