Ambassador Asher Ben-Nathan, the Israeli envoy to West Germany, told a London Jewish audience tonight that there could not be normal relations between Germans and Jews in the lifetime of this generation.
“Israel and Germany now have normal relations but this does not mean that relations between Jews and Germans could be normal, in our time at any rate,” he declared. “We must not delude ourselves. The German National Democratic Party is a neo-Nazi party. There are few Jews left in Germany, but recent events have shown that anti-Semitism, as a sickness of the soul, can exist without Jews and we should ponder over this.”
