What I was really saying, is that I agree with thoughtomator when he said that Germany always vote for the Palestinians in the monthly "condemn Israel ceremony".
I dont know about a single event in which Germany voted for Israel, in fact, except the USA and some islands in the pacific ocean (like Micronesia) all nations vote automatically against Israel, including Poland, UK, Australia, India and other nations that have much better relationships with Israel than France, Belgium, Sweden etc.
Yet, Germany is indeed the closest defense ally of Israel in Europe (unless you consider Turkey as a Europian nation). Another example besides those which were already been written here, are the joint Israeli AF and German AF excercises in 2003.
I would like to see German government's words become to actions. As a beginning, to stop automatically voting against Israel in the monthly "condemn Israel festival" at the UN.
Woop? Did I miss something?? Germany always abstains from the vote. It neither supports nor disapproves the "condemn Israel votes" in the UN.
"For Germany, support for resolutions critical of Israel has been rare. The government generally abstains from votes on resolutions dealing with Israel, but there have been exceptions."
