A study conducted by the Bertelsmann Foundation in January showed that 35% of Germans have no problem making that connection. In what might presage a shift in the bilateral relationship, the poll also revealed that 58% of Germans believe that the past should be consigned to history, and 62% disapprove of Israel’s policies today.
但最能说明这一反转的是将以色列对巴勒斯坦政策与纳粹对犹太人的政策的比较。1月份，一份贝塔斯曼基金会（Bertelsmann Foundation）所做的研究表明35%的德国人能轻松指出其中的关联。这份可能预示着双边关系变化的民调中还揭示，58%的德国人认为过去应该留给历史，而62%的德国人不赞同如今的以色列政策。
