This makes me sad..the German ambassador is not an office guy, he had meetings with protesters on the legislative protests, going to the supreme court for the hearing ..touring the land. He's a really good guy. He didn't deserve this..

Germany is in the top5 providers of aid money to Palestine and aid organizations working in Palestine in the last decades btw. Far ahead of even any Muslim nations.
