Now age 84, his new poem "calls for Germany to cease supplying Israel with submarines (able to carry nuclear-armed missiles), and warns against an Israeli strike on Iran."
"Israel's nuclear potential has been stealthily growing for years," he said, with no international supervision. Fearing the worst, he added that "Germany could be responsible for a crime that can be foreseen."
Der Spiegel headlined, "Nobel Laureate Grass Attacks Israel in New Poem," saying:
"Germany's most famous living author....sparked outrage in Germany....with the publication of a poem, "What must be said," in which he sharply criticizes Israel's policies on Iran."
In response, Israel's Berlin Embassy responded as expected, saying:
"What must be said is that it is a European tradition to accuse the Jews before the Passover festival of ritual murder." ............ more ........ by Stephen Lendman ......
