Like Grass, Germans – especially the younger generations, who feel further removed from the events of WWII – are increasingly abandoning the notion that they owe it to Israel to remain its silent, steadfast supporters. Indeed, as Israel’s right-wing government moves to bury the two-state solution for good, Germans are joining other Europeans in vocally opposing Israeli policy in Palestine.
和格拉斯一样，德国人——特别是年轻一代，他们对二战的记忆更加遥远——正在日益抛弃他们欠以色列因此必须保持沉默，必须坚决支持它的观念。事实上，随着以色列右翼政府永久性地葬送了两国方案，德国与其他欧洲人一起谴责以色列的巴勒斯坦政策。
