    Because the oligarchs want to turn Gaza into a corporate owned city.

    Germany sending weapons there tells me that Germany may well be under the same influence the US is.

      That does not follow. Israel and Germany have been trading arms since the 1950s.


      These are just mutually beneficial trade deals. No malicious intent regarding Gaza required.

      Israel has for example some pretty good air defense capabilities, and in the current deteriorated security environment the German government is justified in continuing weapons trade with Israel.

        lol Israel has the greatest air defence that American research and tax dollars can provide. I guess getting those repackaged lemons makes it feel like a fair trade.

        Sure let’s collaborate with a settler colonial power. The settler colonialism is replacing one group with, another basically you are fine with the extermination of palestinians because it is mutually beneficial to Israel and germany

          No, I’m not basically fine with.

          ffs, can we have a bit of nuance? regarding Israel/Palestine, this crowd is absolutely rabid.

            The nuance is that israel is the settler colonial power currently exterminating Palestinians from their land and Palestinians are the colonized which unfortunately committed atrocities themselves. It is not nuance to claim both side are equally bad. Similar to how the allies in world war 2 committed ton of atrocities against the axis populations and in the colonized African lands, it didn’t change the fact that it was right to support the allies over the axis .
