Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz declared at AJC Global Forum in Israel that Austria viewed both the fight against antisemitism and the security of Israel as part of the country’s Staatsräson.
Both the State of Israel and post-colonial Africa were culminations of long-held messianic dreams, the first held by a two-thousand-year Jewish diaspora, the second by nations or tribes that chaffed for centuries under colonial oppression in their own lands.
Ensuring Israel’s security is Germany’s staatsräson, or "reason of State." The AJC Berlin Ramer Institute helps maintain this special relationship through foreign exchange programs and Berlin-based advocacy.
