Germany is the closest European ally, and there is no doubt that the existance right of a Jewish state of Israel will always be supported. thoughtomator, I think you are ill informed. The last thing Germany did to support Israel was the delivery of two Patriot Air Defense Systems in early 2003.
That Germany supports a Palestinian state, just like President Bush does, is not a contradiction. It is clear that a Pali-state may not evolve against Israel.
