The german government pretends not to know (despite knowing since '61, apparently) that Israel uses nuclear rockets on these submarines. The submarines in question are being built (last to be shipped ~2017) with the german government paying 33-50% of the costs, probably in hope of gaining some leverage for demands regarding the settlements - which is the point of contestion, by the way, as we'd like to call it "Attempts at changing the situation through diplomacy"[1]
And @ That user with the Nazi card: You used the rhetoric, so deal with being called out for using it. It's very common in this special case. If you think back a few years there was, at least in europa, a wave of anti-american sentiments, demonstrations and quite vocal opposition against the 2nd Iraq war. I do not remember seeing the same level of hatred[2] levelled against the USA or US americans in public, despite the similarities being so striking. Terrorist strike at home for the sake of destruction[3], a response blown out of proportions with questionable reasoning and a lot of civilian casualties. I guess "The Jews" are easier to dislike/hate, for historical reasons, and the extreme views surfacing in the mix of old-fashioned ressentiments and proper critique are why being aware of the language used is important. It would be the same as saying "The Muslims" instead of Hamas, al-Quaida or other terrorist friends.
[1]while sprinkling nuke capable subs into the mix. For peace, obv.
[2]Not evident in this thread, here we're just dealing with certain ressentiments
