“No country in the world has the right of veto to decisions taken by the German government!”-Thomas de Maiziere, Germany’s Defense Minister

16 September 2012, perhaps German officials are finally getting tired of Israel?

Israel has arrogantly claimed they can veto Germany’s sale of Type 209 attack submarines to Egypt!  Two weeks ago it was revealed that Egypt was buying two of the German made subs, the same type that Germany has been selling to Israel.

Israeli media quoted Israeli government officials as saying this was “a marked deterioration in relations between Israel and Germany”.

The German media says it’s time to stop supporting Israel: “It’s a serious matter when Germany, as the world’s third largest arms exporter, apparently pays little consideration to the consequences of its policy of exporting submarines to Israel.”– Die Tageszeitung
