Anti-Semites cannot be granted German citizenship under new law - minister
reuters.com
A law under consideration by the German parliament would mean that people who have committed anti-Semitic acts can never be granted citizenship, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Wednesday.

Yeah, the law this vague is purposely designed to be abused by the government. German police are already trying Nazi tactics at this point. The pro Palestinian rally at Frankfurt, they literally isolated young people with Palestinian flags, took pictures of people and their ID cards, and suddenly these people now have started getting problems in their schools,universities and jobs, even when they never shared anything political themselves. Germany and Fascism is a story for the ages.
That sounds really extreme. Do you have a reliable source for that?
It's all over Twitter (or X), YouTube and TikTok. Plus, I was there in person and saw plenty but can't show due to self preservation.
You have to realize that this is not a terribly convincing statement, right?
I do, but I gotta do "Trust me Bro" cuz I like anonymity here on Lemmy.
How would linking one of the many posts you saw "all over twitter" break your anonymity?
Maybe just don't do antisemitic shit
Ah yes, because recognizing that Palestinian civilians should have human rights and not be discarded like subhuman scum is what flies as antisemitism now.
And it should be Palestinians human right to shoot at and kidnap Israeli civilians or say Jews are filth that the land should be cleansed of?
What part of "don't kill Palestinians" is the same as antisemitism?
the part where pro-palestinian protesters attack jews and synagogues. This happened some years ago here in Germany and happens now again.
The german central council of jews is aware of this and has been complaining about the rising number of antisemitic attacks by Muslims for many years now.
Got a source on this? I'm american and this is just not something I'm being made aware of.
I found some English articles:
Muslim with knife in synagouge in 2019
most recent attack on a synagouge
I couldn't find an English source for the stuff from the central council of jews, but a German one.
The part where people are attacking and harassing Jews worldwide right now
Lol
So you did "MAH WESEARCH???" Go try that shit at reddit. This shit doesn't work here.
So you have none, gotcha.
The law is pretty clear. Are you a Nazi? Don't be or else you don't get a citizenship. They already have a law against being a Nazi so this new one isn't some new law they could abuse now that they couldn't before. Stop fear mongering.
Imagine just being an innocent person being caught up in this crap, then having literally everyone try to scapegoat you lol
I appreciate what you're saying and I'm a little angry that people are calling you out for not providing sources. So I went and found some articles that can get us started finding out more about how the German government is treating pro-Palestinian protestors.

People attending an outlawed protest get rounded up and identified, news at 11.
No, seriously. There have been plenty of pro-Palestine protests in Germany getting permits, there also have been plenty of pro-Palestine protests in Germany which got outlawed. The reason? Different organisers. Different capacities of those organisers to make sure that the protesters won't commit crimes. Courts overruled some of those police assessments, but not all.
Like, people were up in arms even before all this went down that the Nakba protests in Berlin got outlawed. They completely ignored that in previous years, the same organisers held protests and those turned violent, broke out into "gas the Jews" chants, and whatnot.
As the Basic Law says: Every German has the right to peacefully assemble without weapon. The "German" part is usually ignored, also foreigners enjoy that right in practice. The "peacefully and without weapons" part OTOH is not negotiable.
Part of this is a cultural problem: The organisers don't seem to understand how protesting works in Germany, what the do's and don'ts are. And when they cross those lines, things get out of hand, public order is infringed upon, they try to play the victim card.
Do you know how much German police or Germans in general care if you call us Nazis? How much that stings? I'll tell you: Zero. Because we know you're full of shit.
You wrote a whole lot of words to just say that the government can do whatever. The protest on the 20th of October was specifically granted permission from the courts on the 19th, a day earlier. Half an hour before the protest, Polizei announced that it is now verboten (when? where?) and started arresting people and IDing them, the people who are unaware of changes and coming to attend a permissible demonstration. How isn't that sketchy? That seems like an operation to identify pro-Palestinian people and intimidate/harass them, and actually follow through by contacting their universities and work.
I have been in Germany for around 2 decades as a dark skinned person, don't tell me the scope of Nazi infiltration in the German military and police. I face them everyday. It's common news among everyone, only willfully ignorant ones try to overlook it, and later will cry after their fascism gets discovered, just like from the Holocaust documentary when, German citizens were first taken to see concentration camps, and started crying "we didn't know". Ja right, gimme a break.
On the 20th? Only thing I can find in the press talks of a protest in Frankfurt around that date is on the 21st, which was peaceful and legal. A couple of counts of display of forbidden symbols (presumably Hamas flags), one count of incitement to hatred, but in a context of 1500 participants that's nothing.
Me thinks you're making up shit on the spot.
Me thinks less of what you think, and the 21st was also not peaceful but due to what happened on previous days, lawyers had a court order of peaceful assembly again, and didn't back down, and let the demonstration happen. The irony of other people gaslighting me and telling me what happened when I witnessed it myself. Were you there at Frankfurtdemonstration? You are free to look, social Media is full of these things.
The police literally called it peaceful. What do you mean by "what happened on the previous days"? The city wanted to ban it, the court allowed it, and the protest went ahead as planned. That's business as usual in Germany.
If there were protests before that they likely were (correct me if I'm wrong) unannounced and if you don't announce a non-spontaneous protest the police can dissolve it without a court order. That's why people announce protests: To have legal protection.
Do any of those people understand the legal and cultural situation? Also, which fucking posts. You have been asked before to provide links, and came up empty. I gave you a report from the hessenschau, do you see any factual errors in there? Ones that you could back up?
He doesn't have any. He is just mad you called out his lies.
Prove it. Show us something when its so easy to find. Show us a reliable unbiased Source.
That was cathartic to read.
