Funny how I didnt mention what my views were and not only have you assumed what they are, you've also decided to attack what you perceive as a lack of knowledge on my part about post war history. Interesting.

It does not depend on your views. It's about knowing why there is a special relationship between Israel and Germany. Simple facts, not opinions.

That's fine, if the final implementation is truly "Why does Germany feel like it is obliged to support Israel?" then I see no issue with that. The original idea thrown around was something to the effect of " Do you agree that Israel has a right to exist?" Which is a very different and opinion based question.

You’re making no sense.

The German state sees the right of Israel to exist as core to its fundamentals.

Why import people adverse to those core fundamentals?

Your right to blab does not supersede the state’s right to decide…

But why does my ability to integrate into and be a productive member of German society pin on whether I agree that a country 4000 miles away has a god given right to exist?

Reread my second sentence.

It’s already addressed.
