How Germans view Israel

"Germans have become increasingly hostile to the state of Israel in recent years, with 59 percent describing the country as “aggressive,” according to a new poll published in the national Sternmagazine on Wednesday...Furthermore, 70% of those polled answered that, “Israel pursues its own interest without consideration for other nations.”"  So how did Zionists explain those views?  You guessed.  Anti-Semitism, of course:  "The boundaries between anti-Semitism and anti-Israel are shrinking rapidly. In Germany, this is becoming apparent,” said Shacha Stawski, the chairman of the pro-Israel initiative "I Like Israel.""
