Except Germany keeps delivering weapons to Israel, gives them diplomatic and political coverage, and apparently even has planes in the air to support Israeli fighter jets in their attacks on Iran.
Both are awful, but playing the centrist here doesn't cut it. Picking indifference is pretty much the same as picking the imperialist side, aka it's the same as supporting Israel and the US but instead of cheering them on you just sit on the fence and watch.
For those of us that live in The West™ the only thing we can change is the things our governments can influence. Thus, the only change we can enact as a population for the situation in the Middle East is the change that takes form by pressuring our own governments (and thus pressuring allied US and allied Israel) into stopping the madness. Going out and about and moaning about Iran is just useless posturing that won't lead do anything. Our governments are already trying to destroy Iran as is, what does me moaning about whatever Iran does even change? It's still the same shit.
And besides that, it's not even our business to enact regime change in Iran. Let their own people deal with it however they see fit. We're not savior knights in shining armors going around and helping people anyway. We've seen what kind of shit our governments have stirred up in the Middle East and North Africa before. We've only made everything worse for the people there.
Because China doesn't have as much influence in Europe as the US does. Besides that, there's a higher chance of US companies sharing data with European governments than Chinese companies doing so.
As someone living in Europe I'm more concerned with American companies harvesting my data.
Right, so go on and support genocidal Israel, because it's soooo much better than authoritarian Iran.
Remember when they shot a journalist in the head and provided a fake investigation into it that they then took back but still concluded in the end that the journalist was at fault for getting shot?
Remember when they crushed a 23 years old woman from the US to death with a bulldozer because she was protesting the demolition of palestinian homes, then they started an "investigation" where they found out they hadn't done anything wrong because they didn't see her even though the woman has been protesting there for hours and the soldiers that were there testified that she was being a nuisance for hours?
Remember the laws they passed that let the IDF destroy palestinian homes if they deem by internal investigation that they're somehow connected to "terrorism"?
Remember the laws that let IDF soldiers shoot kids if they throw rocks at soldiers in occupied territories?
Yeah... just a few bad apples.
I'm part jewish, european, anti hamas, pro palestine. Why wouldn't I be allowed to show my support for Palestine? Israel is trying to starve out two million people with a siege and I am not allowed to say anything about it?
This is what transphobia has to offer. Transphobia and TERFS are inherently misogynistic because they start to attack every single woman that doesn't fit into the worldview of a few people.
Ah, the "free speech absolutist" doing completely free speech stuff.
Don't forget, people. It's always projection with conservatives. Next time you hear one scream about pedos, might as well start looking at their hard drives :)
Are you even following the news? The EU is handing out fines like there's no tomorrow.

No, because apparently Israel is allowed to step over the territorial integrity and sovereignty of any country, conduct illegal assassinations wherever they deem fit, destroy diplomatic facilities protected under international law, and anyone that claims otherwise is a dirty antisemite, khamas, and needs to be killed with a two thousand pounds bomb along with their entire lineage.
