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.
You understand why this is fucked up right? Is it also forbidden to say “Hawaii will be free” or “Free Tibet”?
Germans are clowns.
Not every german.
But it’s depressing every time I talk politics with one and it turns out they’re a “leftist” who’s actually a liberal, or an “anarchist” who’s a zionist, or a “green” who supported ending all nuclear power (which restarted their coal industry), an “anti-imperialist” who only opposes Germany’s enemies.
I expect this level of ignorance from American liberals who’ve literally never had a thought outside bourgeois democracy, half of Germany was communist until 30 years ago, they don’t have an excuse.
Of course not. This is something entirely different.
It really isn’t
I thought this is obvious. I’ll mark it with /s now to make sure everyone understands.
My bad. In that case, right on!
Yeah no in the context of a german explaining why rounding up jews and throwing them in jail for protesting Israel is no big deal, you gotta be really, really obvious when you’re making a joke since we’re already well past poe’s law.
