Reluctant to send arms to Ukraine but not for Israel who already has overwhelming advantages over against Palestinians and received trillions of dollars of support over the past 70 years already. Keeping that priorities straight, Germany!
Germany has been the second largest military supplier to Ukraine after the US. They are very much providing for that war too.
Germany had been reluctant to send lethal arms and tanks to Ukraine months after the Russian invasion started for fear of further provoking Russia. German chancellor Scholz first only sent helmets to Ukraine, of all the more useful military hardware Germany could have sent sooner.

Sure, it took them a month or 2, just like everyone else. But look at them now.
At first they wanted to just let Ukraine fall until the Ukrainians actually put up a fight themselves.
israel however really needs a lot of bombs because there's still like 1million kids left in Gaza not buried beneath the rubble.
Why would they want Ukraine to fall?
Oh great, another Lemmy user thinks Israel is targeting kids in Gaza...
