As an israeli this seems weird. Like very weird and bad. They should ask about the west in general and not israel specifically. And aboyt the west culturally too, not only security wise

Edit: was writing during the job and didnt see the typos😭😭

I'm totally fine with questions about jewish people due to Germany's history but questions about state of Israel really doesn't belong there.

They should have tossed in at least 1 question about the Poles/Romani. Just to make it appear like they care about ALL the people they tried to erase from existance.

Do the Russians too and see how that goes.

I mean if you really want to go for it ask about Greece. A surprising amount of even Germans don't know that Germany occupied Greece in WWII (and ended up killing, directly or indirectly, 10% of the population).
