Somewhere I really think these people believe they are on the right side of this. Because even though the capitalist overlords have their own benefits of Israel existing, defending it this much surely isn't worth the PR drama, right? Like, it's one thing not taking a stance on the topic like many other European countries do, but to actively defend Israel this hard is something else.
They're just worried about the possibility of having to accept Jewish refugees back into Germany if the settler-colony fails. Any "PR drama" they're getting from this is only from countries outside the imperial core, and none of those countries will do anything for fear of US intervention.
It's easy to imagine the rich and powerful as this group of evil villains sitting in a dark boardroom somewhere and plotting sinisterly, but the reality is that they are just people, and people want to think that they are good guys, doing the right thing. People are also really good at justifying their own actions, and convincing themselves that they are doing things for moral reasons, and not for personal benefit.
