Germany's 'Never Again' Applies Only to Germans, Apparently
Germany, according to Al Jazeera, stands as Israel's staunch ally and second-largest arms supplier, a position seemingly impervious to charges of war crimes or ICJ rulings. While Chancellor Olaf Scholz insists Germany's 'historical responsibility' demands Israel's security, (a curious interpretation of accountability), Berlin approved €326 million in military exports to Israel last year. These
transfers of weapons, including components for air defense systems and warship engines, occurred as the death toll in Gaza surpassed 34,000, allegedly using German-supplied armaments. One might wonder if 'Never Again' has an expiration date, or if it's simply a geopolitical conditional. Germany's 2023 arms exports to Israel were ten times higher than the previous year, with 3,000 anti-tank weapons
and 500,000 rounds for automatic or semi-automatic firearms. This isn't just 'support'; it's actively equipping a military accused of systematic brutality. The historical precedent Germany so reveres now appears to sanction the very atrocities it once vowed to prevent. How many children must be dismembered by German-financed bombs before their 'responsibility' shifts from enabling to condemning?
