Yes...because we Americans have only had one government, we tend to equate "legality" with morality, and then assume the discussion is over. No doubt that causes us to look at laws "over there" as being far more important than they really are...at least some times.
The laws "over there" would only lack importance if they were universally ignored. But they aren't ignored, and they ruin peoples lives, and deprive them of freedom and property everytime someone in some protected class claims to have been offended. When a Jew in Germany gives material support to Israel's reign of terror against the Palestinian people, and someone criticizes it, German law puts the person criticizing it in jail because he made the Jew feel bad. A civilized country would put the Beanie-Headed Land Grabber in jail, and give the critic a medal. Germany is not a civilized country. Neither is the United States, of course, where US citizens are free to join the Israeli army, and commit atrocities in the illegally occupied territories, but face prison for "terrorism" if they support the oppressed Palestinians and play paintball with their friends on weekends.
