Germans have an increasingly negative view of Israel 60 years after the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations, said a new survey released by the Bertelsmann Foundation on Friday
The report pointed to a significant change in the mood of Germans towards Israel over the past four years.
Back in 2021, 46% of German citizens surveyed had a positive attitude towards Israel. Meanwhile, only 36% have a positive opinion of Israel, while 38% rate the Jewish state negatively.
The German government has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel but has come under growing public pressure as a result of Israel’s brutal military campaign in Gaza.
Good.
Pretty sure it’s more then just Germans …
It’s like the frog and the boiling water thing, but the pot is melting, the house is on fire and the frog just now realizes it was supposed to be boiled…
The German government would be the last to acknowledge this shift, long after the tide has turned for the vast majority of Germans.
