>>512027292This quote attributed to Martin Schulz โ โFor me, the new Germany exists only in order to ensure the existence of the State of Israel and the Jewish peopleโ โ is highly suspect and there is no credible evidence that he ever said or wrote it.
Hereโs why:
There is no record of Martin Schulz making this statement in any reliable source โ no speeches, no interviews, no articles.
There is no reliable reference to Avraham Burg quoting Schulz in Haaretz on 14 February 2016 with these words.
A search of Haaretz archives, Martin Schulzโs speeches, and the European Parliament records does not produce any match for this wording.
The phrasing is also quite extreme and unlikely to have been made by Schulz, who has consistently expressed Germanyโs commitment to Israelโs security but never in such absolutist or sweeping terms.
This meme appears to be a misattribution or fabrication, which is common in political misinformation. If youโd like, I can help you dig into verified statements Martin Schulz has made about Germany, Israel, and Jewish people โ just let me know.
