The Archbishop of Berlin has declared that he finds "no will for reconciliation" in the German project and, therefore, will not allow the Expellees Centre to be built on church property. There was no 'sensitivity training' for the Israeli troops, no buses to drive the expellees away, no generous deadlines to get ready, no compensation for their homes, and no promise of government-subsidized alternative housing when the bulldozers went into Rafah," he noted, referring to Israel's evictions last year of Palestinian residents of southern Gaza. Both the Allies and the new German states sought to give the expellees a sufficient sense of belonging in their new homes that they would not become a radicalized, potentially destabilizing force. |
