The poem by Günter Grass
Günter Grass, warns in the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" of a war against Iran. In his poem titled "What must be said" the Nobel literature requests, therefore, Israel should not get a German U-boats more.
Why I am silent, silent about too long,
what is obvious and in simulations
was practiced, at the end as survivors
, we are at best footnotes.

It is alleged that on the first strike
of the enslaved from bullies
and to organized guided cheers
could destroy Iranian people,
because in the sphere of building
a nuclear bomb is suspected.

But why do I say to myself,
to call that other country by name,
in the years since - though secret -
a growing nuclear capabilities available
but out of control, because no test
is available?

The general concealment of this fact,
which my silence subordinate,
I find incriminating lies
and coercion, the penalty is in prospect,
if he is ignored;
the verdict of "antisemitism" is familiar.

But now, because in my country,
that of innate crimes
that are without comparison,
sought time to time and will be taken to task,
in turn, and purely commercial basis, even if
declared with nimble lip as reparation,
another U-boat to Israel
delivered should be, whose specialty
is all-destroying warheads
to be able to steer to where the existence
of a single atomic bomb is unproven,
but wants to be a fear of evidentiary value,
I say what needs to be said.

But why I kept quiet until now?
As I said, my background,
which is never subject to tilgendem blemish,
forbade this fact as a definite truth
to the land of Israel, whom I am connected
and want to stay, be expected.

Why do I say now only
: aged and last ink
the nuclear-armed Israel is endangering
the already fragile world peace?
Because it must be said
, what could already be tomorrow's too late
- in part because we - as a German burden enough
could be suppliers of a crime are
the predictable, which is why our complicity
by any of the usual excuses
would be to pay off.

And admittedly, I am silent no more,
because I was the hypocrisy of the West
'm tired, is also hoped
it might be a lot rid of silence,
the cause of the apparent danger
call to renounce violence and
are also sure
that an unfettered and permanent control
of Israel's nuclear potential
and the Iranian nuclear facilities
by an international authority
of the governments of both countries will be allowed.

Only then is all, the Israelis and Palestinians,
more than that, all the people in this
region occupied by the delusional
enemies living cheek by jowl
, and ultimately to help us.

Without commenting on the publication of Mr. Grass:
It is frightening how undifferentiation as a higher - and thus not criticizing - knowledge in these articles and in particular the comments will be celebrated. There is a difference between idealistic world views and the actual situation of the State of Israel. Erneuchternd is that it only takes a few lines of an aging poet to the eternally old and be transported in any way advanced anti-Semitic prejudices in the headlines of German newspapers.Many commentators (including Mr. Grass) seems to be unaware that they follow the principle of the argument of the neighboring countries of Israel, the existence of Israel is the sole cause of all evil. I feel the discussion sparked by Grass SettingsN as beschaehmend and naive. - Crissefey writesDoes Israel to trust blindly!
And once you realize how far some people dare to think about taboo topics.In the poem I have personally found no hatred for the Jewish religion or another form of anti-Semitism. What I have found is fear. I write this comment because I share his fear. Grass tries to get us to open our eyes to the threat of a third World War II, the only waste from Israel (note: Israel) is pointed. Should Iran be attacked Israel in the near term due to nuclear weapons possession shall be dependent on the fate of the world to the U.S. or to Obama. At an Obama during the campaign. Would he choose not to enter falls off in the entire support of the wealthy Jewish community for the campaign, not to mention that the Americans 'being Jewish' the difference between less and 'in Israel live' know when some German.
by its brazen policy of Israel intensified the conflict only continues to rise - supported by German U-boats and blind trust - Kardismwnglina writesa word against weapons
I do not feel the poem as a lyrical delicacy, but his statement is what is important, with a rogue Hafter bite the minds of the excited man would be able to appease, are able to see everything and every enmity. Surely past is never past. Even the most righteous self can never forget. The shield of forgetting and repressing does not protect, but includes. And the past is not included, which is also reflected in the uneven nature of this statement on International Arms Trade between Germany and Israel, two nations whose people see themselves as the strongest critic. But is done again what everyone wants only as schemes to perceive because the war is far away in Germany and also a lot of peace in Israel. Thus, for not preventing trafficking in weapons. Then Germany was to make the U-boats so expensive that no atomic bombs Israel can do more. That would be a nice transition.

Ls it, if you read the comments, always the same:
. it depends on training civil courage, from life experience and ideologically, how the things judged
Grass is right and I'm not anti-Semite.
