The part where it becomes nonsense is that Germany does in fact not support a lot of stuff that Israel does. Especially the whole settlements issue. As far as the German government is concerned Israel still has the same borders as 1967 and its capital is Tel Aviv. The fact that Germany is supportive of Israel in this case is more that our history has taught us that you should first blame your government, not your neighbour, if you're getting bombed after your government started a war of aggression against said neighbour.

The position you're defending is exactly what the other person was talking about, you missed their whole point entirely.
