| German Chancellor Angela Merkel visits Israel |
| 2014-02-25 |
| [Aypee] JERUSALEM — Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday that she is visiting Israel with most of her new cabinet in order to show Germany's friendship with the Jewish state and that her country is working to secure the future of Israel. Merkel was speaking at an evening press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Germany is Israel's closest European ally and holds an annual joint Cabinet session with its Israeli counterparts. Of late however, tensions with Europe, and also Germany, have risen over West Bank settlement policies. Settlement tensions or not, something tells me the Germans are sympathetic to border challenges. |

| #3 The EU will gain stature over the US for doing this. Everyone knows Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America, detests the nation of Israel. |

| #2 Settlement tensions or not, something tells me the Germans are sympathetic to border challenges. You mean like the former German states of Prussia and Silesia. They lost them in a war three years before the Arab war to destroy Israel failed in '48. No 'right of return' there. Losing wars has consequences. Always has. |
