Volker Beck: Germany now has to support Israel militarily

The President of the German-Israeli Society, Volker Beck, raises an urgent claim to the federal government: Germany must support Israel militarily! "Israel now needs everything to defend itself against the growing Iranian threat," Beck explains in an interview with the television station Phoenix. In a passionate appeal, he demands the withdrawal of the blockade of applications that have been on the table of the Federal Security Council for months. These applications relate to armaments, ammunition and spare parts that are of crucial importance for Israel.

"It is incomprehensible that these applications are blocked just because you are afraid of administrative courts in Berlin," notes Beck and emphasizes: "An open arms export policy would prevent aggressive enemies from feeling safe!" Because as long as other countries have the plan to eradicate Israel, according to Beck there is no way out. He also calls for economic relations with Iran as long as he does not change his enemy course.

lack of view in foreign policy

The current Situation in northern Israel, says Beck, is the result of a failed foreign policy in recent years. Hisbollah should have disarmed since 2006 - a condition for the deduction of the Israeli troops from Lebanon. Beck is convinced that Germany should stand more clearly alongside the United States when it comes to the security of Israel. "It must be clear that the security of Israel's German State Räson is," he says loudly.

In sharp words, Beck also goes into the sympathy of some political leftists to anti-Israeli movements: "This is nothing new", he says, analyzing that in the anti-imperialist and post-colonial left, voices are repeatedly loud that is the basic evil. "We observe that anti -Semitism, which is often located as right, revives here in the left," emphasizes Beck.

he sharply criticizes Germany's inactive attitude in the processing of anti -Semitism and warns a more active handling. "We have to discuss more about these topics again and don't turn them under the carpet!" The entire interview with Beck is available shortly and will surely offer many other exciting insights.
