    The left, with no illusions about influencing Middle East events, sees the issue as important for the future evolution of Green policy. Last July, Otto Schily issued a surprising statement calling for ostracism of “the terrorist regime in Iran” and “solidarity with France in its conflict with Khomeini.” This fed the suspicion that Green realpolitik is leading toward accommodation with the nationalist and militarist tendencies of governmental ties. The new nationalism is not centered on Germany but on “Europe” or “the West.” The final issue could be the choice between a new sort of all-Western nationalism, whose Middle East outpost is Israel, or on the other hand a new internationalism, a global sense of community.
