	On 4 April 2012, Grass published a poem in the ''[[Süddeutsche Zeitung]]'', entitled [https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Was_gesagt_werden_mu%C3%9F ''Was gesagt werden muß''] ("What must be said"), where he expressed concern about an Israeli military strike against Iran. The poem states: “Why do I only say now, aged and with my last ink: the atomic power Israel is endangering the already fragile world peace?” His answer to this rhetorical question is that the "incomparable" crimes of Nazis against ~~Jews~~, and the duty of Germans to avoid anti-Semitism, have kept him silent. But he is no longer willing to stay quiet: “I admit: I will be silent no longer, because I am sick of the hypocrisy of the West.”<ref>		On 4 April 2012, Grass published a poem in the ''[[Süddeutsche Zeitung]]'', entitled [https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Was_gesagt_werden_mu%C3%9F ''Was gesagt werden muß''] ("What must be said"), where he expressed concern about an Israeli military strike against Iran.
