Berlin – Germany has threatened to suspend the delivery of a nuclear-capable submarine to Israel, in protest at the country’s settlement policy, according to a media report released Sunday.

Government sources confirmed to Der Spiegel news magazine that Germany may withhold a Dolphin submarine commissioned by the Israeli military.
Israel already owns three strategically important Dolphin submarines, the weekly magazine reported, while two more are being built in the German harbour city of Kiel.
Earlier this year, the German government granted 135 million euros (191 million dollars) to help Israel buy a sixth Dolphin submarine – a deal that is now reportedly threatened by Berlin’s objection to the country’s settlement policy.
In September, Israel gave the go-ahead for the construction of 1,100 homes in Gilo, a part of Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem captured from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East War.
Israel regards Gilo as a Jewish suburb of Jerusalem, while Palestinians and the international community consider it an illegal settlement.
I guess they are really telling us that they want to deal with the PA. Let them!!
How funny the grandchildren of the baby and buby killers are lecturing us. Feh!
The Germans still want to put us in ghettos.
Can’t Germany object to something without being accused of Naziism. It’s not like they are the only ones complaining about settlement building. These are weapons that Israel needs, Germany has provided in the past, and is prepared to provide again. Wish Israel could build these weapons for itself and not need the U.S.and Germany to provide this stuff.
Far ominous is that cholov yisroel is sold in Germany, Israelis whose parents were born in Germany have applied and received German passports by virtue that they are children of Germans!!, here I saw a VW and on the rear license plate “Bubbie” , masochism to the dot. The VW Hitler’s creation the Volkswagen. The Indians have a saying white man speaking with forked tongue, thnk about it.
So if Germany does not go along with everything Israel does, it is reverting back to Naziism? The fact that it otherwise sells Israel critical material for its defense means nothing?
