Nevertheless, the U.S. decided that we should not balk and refuse to conduct the meeting, despite the off-chance of success, the officials added. (Mignews.com)

One hundred percent support given by Greece to Israel to counter provocateurs second “Freedom Flotilla” is a manifestation of the geopolitical shift in the region and the emergence of a new alliance. The rigidity with which the Greeks now oppose proapalestinskim activists, many caught off-guard. The Left has traditionally supported the Greek government and the Palestinians recognized Israel only in 1990. As it turns out, the Greeks for several years without undue publicity lined up political and economic relations with the Jewish state. The crisis over “the blockade of Gaza,” coincided with the cooling of relations between Israel and its traditional ally in the region, Turkey.

At the same time, the dynamics of relations with the Palestinians, the Greeks became more complicated. The European Union considers Hamas a terrorist organization, and Greece must adhere to European policy of boycott against the terrorists in Gaza. For friendship with Israel, in Greece there are good economic reasons. Greece, located a few months on the brink of default, is highly interested in Israeli and Jewish investment and tourism.

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to sell 200 of sophisticated tanks Leopard 2A7 + Saudi Arabia has created an interesting reaction in the German press. Instead of discussing the possible use of German arms in the neighboring kingdom of Saudi states, journalists vigorously discussing the burning question: why is Israel allowed the sale of tanks of Saud? Suddeutche Zeitung newspaper generally assumed that Israel has played the role of initiator and organizer of the deal, worth 1.6 billion dollars. In Germany at the time of the transaction on an official visit Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel, Danny Ayalon. He was forced to make a special explanatory statement. It says: “We do not know anything about the planned transaction for the sale of German tanks of Saudi Arabia.” Merkel administration generally refused to comment on the deal. Israeli analysts suggest that a transaction in any case, does not threaten Israel, due to lack of land borders with Saudi Arabia. At the same time, they remind us that Israel opposed the sale of Saudi Arabia’s modern systems of air war – the modernized F-15 fighter jets, AWACS systems of electronic espionage and guided bombs JDAM. Brouhaha raised in the German press in connection with an imaginary role of Israel in the tank trade diverts public attention from more important and real facts – Germany is the third largest in the world exporter of weapons, and declared its policy of non-sales in “hot spots” has been compromised. Leopard tanks will be used not for war with Israel, and not even for a war with Iran. Most likely, they will be used to protect Saudi interests in neighboring Bahrain, and Yemen. 11% of German arms exports go to Turkey – the Turks are Germany’s weapons to suppress the Kurdish separatist movement. It should also be recalled that Germany sold and continues to sell dual-use goods of the Islamic Republic of Iran. (Mignews.com)
