Germany's bet on Israel's endless war
Merz just committed Germany to unconditional military support for Israel. Not conditional on legal limits or civilian harm. Not tied to specific threats. Blank check, as long as he's in office.
"We will always support that militarily as well, because otherwise this state would no longer exist today."
That's a statement about dependency, not security. And it's Germany,the country that actually knows what happens when you build foreign policy around one nation's survival at any cost,saying it again, to the exact same region, with the exact same moral arithmetic.
Germany’s Chancellor Merz on Israel: Israel is the only democracy in the entire Middle East. The existence of the State of Israel is non-negotiable for us, for the Federal Republic of Germany. The right of the State of Israel to exist — as long as I hold political responsibility, we will always support that militarily as well, because otherwise this state would no longer exist today.
