This article based on public opinion of German and Israeli citizens shows that these two counties are in a good diplomatic relations. According to polls Israeli people see Germany as their best friend in Europe. These polls are executed on 50th  anniversary of opening German-Israeli democratic relations and on the 70th anniversary of liberation of Auschwitz. Both sides have clear goals. The Israeli to never been a victim of a war and German to never make a war again. Regardless good relations between them, German chancellor, Merkel is worried about expansion of Israeli on Palestinian land. In the communication with Israeli, Merkel, according to the article tends to be careful about the way she talks, wanting to prevent any kind of anti-Semitism.
Situation and public opinion in Germany tend to show opposite though. Public demonstrations show increasing level of Anti-Semitism especially for Muslim population.
