In the last ten years, David informs me, there have been at least twenty-five coproductions between Germany and Israel. How many of the twenty-five have had to do with politics? “I think something like 60 percent.” Are there any right-leaning coproduction movies? “No.” In other words, Germany is working hard on influencing the minds of the Israelis, not to mention the minds of foreign viewers. Germany. Again.
