While I disagree with the German and Israeli governments, "you did genocide too" is not an argument for anything. You will be hard pressed to find a country that never participated in one and the current situation hardly compares to randomly invading and colonizing a country not even on the same continent as your own.

There are plenty of arguments you can find against the Israeli and my own Government, no need to resort to populist speeches.
