She tries to waste German tax money for it.

But Iran should prove that they have no nuclear weapons.

This is Merkel

Zionists have never been very choosy of who they sell weapons too, if they can make some money, they will do so.

Merkel admits Germany's 'Holocaust shame'

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel told Israel of Germany's "Holocaust shame," and asserted its support for the Jewish state during an unprecedented speech to the Knesset on Tuesday.

Germany and Israel are linked "in a very special way" by the memory of the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were killed under Nazi Germany and its allies in World War II, she said in the first address a German chancellor has ever made to the Knesset.

Speaking to the Knesset, Angela Merkel also spoke of Germany's unwavering support for Israel calling the Iranian president's nuclear ambitions "a major danger" not only to Israel, but to the world as well. The German Chancellor called on him to prove that he does not want a nuclear bomb.

I thought that Merkel's historic speech was awesome. She vowed to protect Israel against all threats, especially Iran. Merkel has committted Germany to protect Israel...and that is great!

So, which countries now have official policies of aiding and defending Israel? The United States and Germany, it seems. Ethiopia has a long, quiet history of helping Israel, but this country can only do so much...as it has it's own little conflicts to fight.

then perhaps her words wouldn't sound so hollow, or is just a guilty conscience?
