Just read “Waffenlieferungen an Kurden Kehrtwende in 24 Stunden Von bloßer humanitärer Hilfe zu militärischem Gerät und Waffen: Wie die Bundesregierung ihren Kurs im Irak-Konflikt änderte.” (German language).
Humanitarian Aid Only?
In the beginning, the German government was only willing to support Kurds or the minority of the yezidis with non lethal aid.
However, within 24 hours or a bit longer, the German government finally realized that a potential genocide was unfolding in Iraq and that it was necessary to intervene by supplying weapons to e.g. Kurds.
After more than 60 years past World War II there is no excuse anymore for any Germans not to take responsibility when mass murder or even genocide is threatened or imminent by fanatics. Germany should and cannot hide!
