"Don't commit genocide...without me!"
Somewhere I really think these people believe they are on the right side of this. Because even though the capitalist overlords have their own benefits of Israel existing, defending it this much surely isn't worth the PR drama, right? Like, it's one thing not taking a stance on the topic like many other European countries do, but to actively defend Israel this hard is something else.
It's easy to imagine the rich and powerful as this group of evil villains sitting in a dark boardroom somewhere and plotting sinisterly, but the reality is that they are just people, and people want to think that they are good guys, doing the right thing. People are also really good at justifying their own actions, and convincing themselves that they are doing things for moral reasons, and not for personal benefit.
They're just worried about the possibility of having to accept Jewish refugees back into Germany if the settler-colony fails. Any "PR drama" they're getting from this is only from countries outside the imperial core, and none of those countries will do anything for fear of US intervention.
Why does this feel like the stage is being set to declare war on the Hague?
You know, someone joked about the ICJ finding Israel guilty and setting off a cascade of events eventually leading to... the US declaring that they're invading the Hague, Germany giving Israel a base to join the attack on the Hague. NATO breaking and ww3.
I thought it was funny at the time, but damn i didn't think that Germany would be defending Israel this hard against documented crimes against humanity
The worst part is that none of this is really a "defense". Israel is killing innocent people, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it. The only response they care to give is that the alternative is that it'll happen to them, which is impossible on several levels anyway. This "trial" is basically just the West vs South Africa in a tug of war over who gets to declare right and wrong.
EU governments have really disappointed me on this issue...
The settler colonialist countries are doing what they've always done.
