ميركل: أسباب وجيهة تستوجب الحفاظ على السرية حول صفقة الدبابات للسعودية

The reason so few people criticize Israeal's genocidal racism is that they are mostly all waiting for each other to get so angry that a massive pogrom takes place, since they are individually too scared and too in love with their bribes to criticize it in the least (so as to work off some of their humiliation and resentment). Israel itself seems to be aware of, even to be banking on, this phenomenon, trading long-term disaster for short-term hegemony. There once was a woman from Niger (pronounced for this limerick as "Nei-jer"), who went for a ride on a tiger. They came back from the ride with the woman inside and a smile on the face of the tiger.

Did you read this article? Did you notice that it does not mention Israel anywhere and is not related to that?

Obviously he didn't read it. Israel, (while briefly mentioned in this article) is misused by all and by Ruchlau as the center of interest of world leaders. This wooly thinking is a fashion. On the contrary, the article specifically questions the sale in view of Saudi's attack on Bahrain's Chiites and of the fact that the sale was kept secret and may violate export control laws. The real reason, I suspect is that some German politicians want to get notoriety, even at the expense of Germany by making a fuss over this.
