Blame it on the Holocaust. No EU member state has a more troubled relationship with the Jewish people than Germany. In this episode of Globalists, Josh White and Mitchell Plitnick talk to Battleground contributor Wieland Hoban, author of Germany’s Jewish Problem (OR Books) and the eBook edition, German Apartheid Politics (Battleground Books), about Berlin’s rejected bid for a seat on the UN Security Council and its ideological significance. Following WWII, support for Israel was Germany’s ticket to international legitimacy. However, it led the German political class to support the Gaza genocide and brought the country into disrepute.
