      My man, I think Germany has been through some leadership changes between now and 1939.

      Honestly I would expect that Germany’s history is a reason that current German leadership would be inclined to back Israel even when it isn’t a good move. The Jews weren’t the only victims of the Holocaust, but they were the best known, and Germany wants to be seen supporting Jewish people today because it does not want to be the Germany of old. That doesn’t make it right to back Israel’s actions in Gaza, but it has reasoning to it

        German history is the cause but not for the reason you say. Germany is just following America’s lead in supporting Israel because ever since their defeat in WW2 West Germany and now Germany have been American vassal state. Germany has the highest confession of American foreign military bases out of all countries.
