A Great Debate Are Germans Allowed to Criticize Israel?

Confrontation: An Israeli soldier and a Palestinian demonstrator near Ramallah.

Part 9: Dear Mr. Follath,

I suggest we go for a meal together, shout at one another, and the first one who loses his voice pays the bill. Agreed? Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese?

Yours, HB

Henryk M. Broder

DPA

Henryk M. Broder was born to Jewish parents in 1946 in Katowice, in southern Poland. Broder, who lived in Jerusalem from 1981 until 1990, is regarded as one of Germany's most combative authors. He has accused German left-wingers of swapping their parents' anti-Semitism for a politically correct anti-Zionism. His book "Hurray! We're Capitulating!" about the way Europe deals with Islamists was a bestseller in 2006.

Erich Follath

Erich Follath, born in 1949 in the south-western German region of Swabia, is the son of ethnic Germans who fled Hungary. He was 19 when he first travelled to Israel to work on a kibbutz for six weeks. He went on to write front page stories about Israel, interviewed Israeli politicians such as Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu and wrote a book on the subject ("The Eye of David").
