It's simple: Germany always does what Israel wants.

You know, because of our history.

There are many people (especially the older generation) who think we as Germans can't say anything bad about Israel no matter what they do.

I do not think anyone expects Germany to say anything bad about Israel. The problem is that they went on to defend what Israel is doing. Germany did not need to speak, yet they chose to in favour of Israel.

I think it is understandable, but it is also a little sad. Germans are good people and they are carrying a pretty big bag on the back. Israel will end cleaning from palestinians gaza and in 2 years nobody will care about what happened.

What is understandable about germany's actions or inactions to the ongoing genocide?

I understand that after everything they did, a big chunk of the German population is reluctant to move a finger against israel.
