The original press release seems to be gone now, but here is what is claimed to be the revised release, and an article on the same topic.

Unfortunately, as a German citizen, that is exactly what you would expect. In hardly any other country is the Israel lobby as strong as in Germany. In Germany, it is very easy for the supporters of the Netanyahu-regime, because the strategic accusations of anti-Semitism against anyone who even mildly criticizes the inhumane actions of the Israeli government weigh all the more heavily here. Regardless of whether it is legitimate criticism of a state - that doesn't matter at all here, nor does it seem to matter how many international laws Israel may break or how many innocent lifes the IDF may take in order to pursue the inherently racist Zionist ideology this State stands for in recent days.

It makes sense that Israel would use Germany's past to guilt-trip it into doing whatever it wants.
