The attack tore a hole through the runway and ignited a grass fire at the airfield. Just before the strike, a transponder on an Antonov An-74 cargo plane flown by Iran’s Yas Air, sanctioned since 2012 by the US Treasury over flying weapons on behalf of Tehran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, briefly pinged near Aleppo, according to flight-tracking data.

Walter Russell Mead takes on the pernicious myths that help fuel antisemitism.

of American politics is the gravest threat to the integration of American Jews since the 1940s,” he warns. “The Arc of a Covenant,” drawing from the past to speak to today, merits a wide audience. Mead’s assessment of the complicated entanglement of Jews, Israel and the United States testifies powerfully to the historian Marcus’s admonition about the imperative to understand the past to ensure the future. “Never in American history have so many presidents of so many points of view expended so much effort and political capital on a single objective — and never has so signal a failure in American foreign policy led to so little meaningful reflection and change.” “If the United States had not voted to restrict immigration so drastically, it is probable that the country of Israel would not exist today,” Mead says. In the Middle East, “a naive and deterministic optimism has led Americans to one grave error after another.” We overestimate the chances that negotiations will lead to a lasting peace; when they don’t, we blame the parties for their intransigence rather than recognizing their domestic challenges; we have an unrealistic idea of how much American power can sway leaders of small countries fighting for their survival. But any impact they may have depends on an administration open to those views and the support of American public opinion. “There is a long tradition of Protestant predictions of an ultimate return of the Jews,” Mead writes. He set himself the task of helping Americans understand the “real history of their relationship with the Jewish state,” the importance of Zionism and Israel’s place in American world strategy. This book is filled with similar bold insights: for instance, the impact of the 1924 Johnson-Reed Act, which limited immigration after the great wave that began in 1880 and increased the U.S. As the United States assumed the great-power role formerly held by Britain, Truman was establishing “the Cold War strategy that would guide the United States for the next forty years.” Mead writes, “To blame the Jewish community for policies it dislikes made by presidents it rejects seems, if not virulently antisemitic, at least uninformed.”

Asked whether cooperation should intensify, 78% of Israelis and 53% of Germans answered in the affirmative. “However, the different perspectives of the younger generations in both countries also show that an intensive examination of the different perspectives and realities of life is indispensable. Asked whether Germany “has a special responsibility for Israel” in particular, 57% of Israelis agreed or strongly agreed, with 25% partly agreeing and 12% disagreeing. Meanwhile, 31% of Germans and 11% of Israelis disagreed or strongly disagreed. Among respondents aged 18-29, only 15% of Germans said they viewed the Israeli government in a positive light. Meanwhile, 34% of Germans characterized their view of Israel as poor, while only 19% of Israelis saw Germany in the same light.

While Israelis would like a more intensive partnership in the areas of economic cooperation (46%) and the military, arms and defense (29%), for Germans this applies first and foremost to the sectors science and research (41%) and political cooperation at government level (35%). "The vast majority of Germans continue to subscribe to the maxim 'never again war,'" Vopel says, "while for Israelis it is 'never again be a victim.'" What is striking is that the youngest groups of respondents (18–29 years) in both countries have different views of key issues. Only 27% of Germans, on the other hand, feel that Germany has a responsibility for the state of Israel due to past history, compared to 57% of Israelis who feel this is so. Respondents in both countries also differ in their answers to the question of whether, due to historical events, Germany has a special responsibility for the Jewish people: 58% of Israelis believe this is the case, while only 35% of Germans think this is unequivocally true. In contrast, many Israelis have a decidedly positive image of Germany, with 63% saying their view of the country is favorable, and only 19% saying it is poor.
