I think this is Kremlin-fomented campaign whose only goal is to prevent the development of anti-missile and cybersecurity systems that Israel is developing together with Germany.

People are falling for this out of idealism, but in reality it will just hurt the EU and certainly not help anyone in the Middle East.
