"What must be said"

Nobel Prize laureate Günter Grass is at the centre of a polemic triggered by the the publication of a poem entitled What must be said, in which he implies that Israel is a greater danger to world peace than Iran. The writer who traditionally has been viewed as the conscience of postwar Germany has now been accused of anti-Semitism.
