Secretary General of the German Group, Trilateral Commision, was blasted for airing claim ‘Jewish lobby’ controls US on German national television.
Classic global-conspiracy Nazi anti-Semitism is probably back in the mainstream now. Great,” says the former American Jewish Committee assistant director of government affairs in Berlin.
This is not the first time Braml has made controversial statements regarding the so-called Jewish lobby.
In a 2019 radio interview with Broadcast Germany, he lashed out at the “Jewish lobby” and the “pro-Israel lobby” for their alleged influence over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Dr. Josef Braml has also said in his books that war with the USA is inevitable and calls for Germany to be upgraded not only to Europe’s greatest military power, but also to a nuclear power.
Braml sees the greatest challenge to Germany’s future foreign policy not in Moscow or Beijing, but in Washington. Germany must once again pursue its economic and geopolitical interests on its own, is the core thesis of his book—not only against Russia and China, but also and above all against the United States.
“If the European Union is to be a ‘global player’ and not a plaything of other powers, Germany above all must decisively correct its foreign policy toward the US as well,” he demands. Germany’s interests were “not always identical or compatible with those of other states, not even with those of the supposed protective power, the United States.”
"Europe, and above all the leading European power Germany, should, in their own interest, adapt to the increasingly clear enemy image of the USA." -Dr. Josef Braml, Secretary of German Group Trilateral Commision
