Germany abstaining is actually a big deal.
The defense of Israel is one of our "Reason of State" and not voting in favour of Israel is a serious signal that politicians are fed up with Netanyahus bullshit.
Germany often abstained in critical UN votes regarding Israel and Palestine. E.g. here or here.
And german "intellectuals" are already in the "it is not binding" mode... Germanies political and media class is lost, completly detached from the constituency, who is against the genocide by a large margin.
