Mr. Steinmeier, with all due respect, despite the kind words you said to Abbas, let me tell you that negotiations have never resulted in anything. You know why? Because the Palestinians ask for conditions that do not provide the opportunity for Israel to defend itself.

Imagine, if you would have given a free hand to the Palestinians during the last war, they would have destroyed Israel and Jordan. We are not dealing with a peaceful population, but with terrorists; even Egypt does not want to receive them.

Mr. Minister of Foreign Affairs, I knew the Germans during the Second World War. I knew the Germans after the war. I am well aware that Germany is trying to do its best to satisfy all the Jews, by selling them everything they need for their defense and also protecting them diplomatically. But I know that Germany also needs the Jews, more than you think, because today you consider them as allies, and I hope you will keep it that way.

Without wishing to insult you, you know that what you call "West Bank" is actually called Judea and Samaria, which are the cradle of the Jewish people? You know very well that this country, including Jordan has always been a country that belonged to Jews. Even though the Jewish people has been displaced, there has always been a Jewish presence in the country.

You propose that the Palestinians negotiate with Israel. Do you know how many negotiations have already taken place, which have led to nothing? Or rather, even if the Israelis would give them what they want, are they the rightful owners of the land or even a tiny part of this land? On what basis are you asking for negotiations? Do you want Israel to negotiate with people who have no right to this country? Have you read the charter of the PLO or Hamas? Who are these organizations? A population that has settled in the last century in these parts because they were looking for work? You want to suddenly make them the masters of this part of the earth? Why? Is there a lack of land for the Arabs? No, sir, they want the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.

If the Germans killed 6 million Jews, Arabs drove 800,000 Jews from Arab countries where they had lived for centuries. These Jews did not seek damages. Why do you want that now the Palestinians have more rights than Jews from Arab countries and Jews living in Israel?

The one who is writing to you is an American Jew. After the war, I really appreciated the German conduct. I thought you will be our protectors and our legitimate allies. Please tell your government: stay as you are, and do not meddle in things that are beyond you. We Jews are not going to give in to terrorist threats. Palestinians are terrorists.

As for Jerusalem, you must know that Saladin had occupied it and has built the Omar mosque on the ruins of our Temple. And now the Arabs claim that it is only theirs. Saladin had conquered it and has not returned it to the Jews. It's like when France conquered Alsace and Loraine and did not return it to Germany, and Corsica, it never gave back to the Italians. You see, here there are precedents. Remember that the Jewish people has only this small piece of land, while Arabs have very extensive lands. The Jews who were expelled from Arab countries have never claimed anything from the Arabs. Why should the Arabs unilaterally claim land that belongs to the Jews?
