The Islamic Republic of Iran enjoys wide latitude in using German vessels to arm Israel's enemies. This, by itself, should prompt national security bells to ring in Jerusalem and Washington. But how does one reconcile Merkel's refusal to bar the rental of German freight ships to Iranian weapons’ smugglers—and her own failure to shut down Iran's main financial terror conduit on the continent, the Hamburg-based European-Iranian Trade Bank —with her previously stated goal of advancing Western and Israeli security?I'm afraid Merkel and company really are contradicting their devotion to ensuring security for Israel and the west by not doing anything to stop these thugs from delivering weapons to Hamas. In that case, is Germany really helping any? I don't think so.
