I had many reactions to my op-ed in Haaretz.
Most were favourable. Some disapproving. A German friend of mine, who first wanted
to recommend the article on her own page, told me that he decided not to do so.
He told me, that when his partner heard that he was going to recommend the
article, she advised him against it. “David can write these things, which I
fully agree with,” she said “but if we recommend them, we will be accused of
being antisemites.” This reality, in which Germans are afraid to say what they
think, lest they be accused of something which they are not, proves loud
and clear, how right my call for normalisation is.
Did she really say she agreed with you?
