Applicants for German citizenship will be required to explicitly affirm Israel’s right to exist under a new citizenship law which came into effect on Tuesday.
The new law shortened the number of years that a person must have lived in Germany in order to obtain a passport, from eight to five years. It will also allow first-generation migrants to be dual citizens.
As part of the shake-up, new questions were added to the country’s citizenship test, including about Judaism and Israel’s right to exist.
All good ideas but what does that actually change? It’s just a signature on a paper.
It sends the message that Germany supports the genocide in Palestine
Are you illiterate or simply stupid? How does that logic follow exactly?
Acknoledge that a country exists -> Approve actions that a country does.
???
Israel exists because of genocide and ethnic cleansing
Because that country is actively committing war crimes but yet German limp dick boomer leadership thinks its a good time for this charade.
They tried this guilt charade with Russia too until their allies checked their idiotic historical narrative lol
German elites are essentially Nazi nepo babies, not surprised they keep blundering.
Political leadership has no back bone.
You need a history lesson and you need to learn what “Nazi” means and meant. Hearing these words from you is a disgrace to millions of people that died from a genocide and ethnic clensing.
What about people dying in Palestine as we do this circle jerk… What about them?
This isn’t about them because the qurstion is whether we accept Israel as a country. This is unrelated.
But this fact is completely unrelated to OP and to your response aswell.
I think you came here for one reason only. And that not to add anything useful to the discussion. Instead, you prefer to open entirely new topics to push your agenda about something.
How about I put all of this in relation to climate change now? Maybe we can discuss this next.
You have reading comprehension issues
No, you’re just inventing a problem where there is none. The existence of a country is completely and utterly unrelated to anything you’re talking about. I don’t know how else to explain it.
That Israelis colonized Palestine and created a state on top of the British mandate via forced removal of the local population starting in early 20th century and culminating with formation of the state of Israel after what the Germans did during ww2.
You can start like that :)
And because of this Germans somehow feel morally absolved of the crimes while also obligated to support this abomination
Borders were set. Borders are there. Borders aren’t changing. History is the past. You just need to accept that. The actions of Israel are a different topic.
