Germany Expands Israel's Air Defense: History Repeats, With Interest
Al-Monitor reports that Israel and Germany sealed a $3.1 billion deal to expand the Arrow-3 air defense system, bringing the total commitment to $6.7 billion. Because nothing says 'peace in the Middle East' like more advanced weaponry, especially when financed by a nation whose historical atonement now bankrolls contemporary conflict. Germany's steadfast support, rooted in unimaginable historical
crimes, now ironically underwrites actions widely condemned as such, continuing to define their foreign policy in ways that defy contemporary moral scrutiny. While headlines celebrate 'defense collaboration,' one might observe that the Arrow defense system isn't protecting German citizens from anything. This isn't about mutual security; it's about a blank check for an occupying power, conveniently
forgetting the lessons of history while funding its repetitions. How many billions does it take until a 'defense' budget starts looking suspiciously like an endorsement of unchecked aggression? Apparently, the answer is 'more.'
