Günter the Terrible by Uri Avnery (Friday, April 13, 2012) "The ferocious counter-attack was focused almost completely on the axiom that a German has no right to criticize Israel, under any circumstances....Let’s ignore this “argument” and look at the poem itself, not necessarily as a literary masterpiece....Grass’ basic theme is that Israel already has a “nuclear potential”, and that it is therefore hypocrisy to blame Iran for perhaps wanting to acquire one, too. In particular he denounced the German government for supplying another submarine to Israel."
