Von wegen freies Wissen: Unis zahlen tausende Euro pro Artikel, um Forschungsergebnisse – oft mit Steuergeldern finanziert – frei zugĂ€nglich zu machen (Open Access). Doch die Transparenz hat einen hohen Preis: Private Verlage machen damit ein undurchsichtiges MilliardengeschĂ€ft.

Daniel Marwecki shows how German policymakers often had disingenuous, cynical or even partly antisemitic motivations, seeking to whitewash their Nazi past by supporting the new Israeli state. This is the true context of West Germany’s crucial backing of Israel in the 1950s and ’60s. German economic and military support greatly contributed to Israel’s early consolidation and eventual regional hegemony which shapes the Israeli–Palestinian conflict to the present day.
