EU send incredible amount of weapons to Ukraine, citing repelling invasion. So even if we generously forget how most of their members were participating in invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, surely they can send at least some weapons to Palestine?

This is a far messier situation than ukraine being invaded, and 2) this literally just started. And multiple nations have spoken up about defending palestinians already.

The invasion of Iraq, bad as it was, never had the aim of annexing the country and destroy their culture language and identity. Never stole children. Etc.

That is a really stupid goalpost to stand by. The semantics you've drawn really do spell out "I only care about the invasion of Ukraine. Iraq and Gaza aren't that bad."

If you want to think that, you can.
