Germany was defending Israel ... 
post
Exactly what I said was going to happen: That the genocider nations were all going to vote along ideological lines.
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.
Well, Germany is kind of in a tough spot here...
Only because the Holocaust was always framed as "that horrible thing that happened to the Jews that we need to prevent from ever happening again to Jews" instead of "that horrible thing that happened to people (some of which were Jews) and we need to prevent that from happening to any people ever again".
One if our own making. If we stopped defending genocide we wouldn't be here.
Genocide in Namibia is not the genocide Germany is known for
Because most people just don't know about it.
The point was that German relations with genocide are not restricted to holocaust, and their justification of supporting current genocide by the past genocide is straight up hypocritical and their argument completely falls apart.
