Grass’s 'What Must Be Said': A Revolt Against Zionism and the Western Hypocrisy

Abstract

This article deals with Grass’s view of Zionist audacity and the double gaming of the west regarding Israel and Iran’s nuclear competition as expressed in his “What Must be Said”. After the establishment of Israel in the Palestinian land, the Jews have been piling up nuclear and other fatal weapons in the name of securing themselves. On the other hand, in the name of defense, Iran is also depositing Uranium for making Nuclear weapon. This competition has made Grass anxious and so he strongly urges the conscience of the world to protest the Jewish ill-motive that endangers the world. At the same time he speaks ill of western hypocrisy for being blind to Israel’s atrocities in the holy land.
