The Biafra conflict was (And remains) complicated and I'm not going to be the one who solves the moral issues of it. But it does bear remembering that the anti-Nigerian side included Rhodesia, Apartheid South Africa, and Israel for a reason.
Israel supported both sides.
Not really. They sold guns to the Nigerians before the conflict began but they provided aid (Including guns) to the Biafrans. They were very much interested in a Biafran victory, since the Nigerian government was aligned with Egypt and therefore Palestine.
I provided a source further down in the thread.
