    Well, personal political opinion as a German, is that it does and that we should obviously be opposed to the killing of any innocent person, but

    1. there’s multiple conflicts going on on this planet. We won’t be able to solve all of them.

    2. we also have an obligation to use our military defensively, not build up a massive army that can start WW3.

    3. not everyone here holds the same opinion. This may come as a surprise, but there’s nazis in Germany. Nazis that pay taxes and vote in our democracy.
      There’s also people who are younger than 80 years old. They may understand this obligation on a theoretical level, but when push comes to shove, they cannot possibly feel a personal obligation.

      there’s multiple conflicts going on on this planet. We won’t be able to solve all of them.

      But in those where we are involved we should take care of human life without being partisan. And most certainly not send weapons to actors comitting war crimes. This of course is not limited to Israel. Germany kept sending weapons to Saudi Arabia to commit terrible atrocities in Jemen. Heck Germany exported chemical plants and chemicals for the production of nerve gas to Saddam Hussein, whcih he subsequently used to murder Kurdish people in what remains the most devastating use of nerve gas since WW1.
