I think Germany has indeed a deep rooting problem with antisemitism. After all the time that’s concerning.

But no reason letting more into the county, don’t you think?

You know, the Nazis did not only kill Jews, they killed Muslims, Gypsies and homosexuals as well.

So what about them? why not ask if they recognize non-binary genders as well? why not put basic questions about Islam as well on the sheet?

Yes. And you have point. But Jews were the main enemy and scapegoat of the nazis. That’s just a historical fact.

Forget specifics just test for psychological patterns supporting pauschalisierende Ablehnungskonstruktionen. Which run counter to human dignity anyway so in principle, no change in law is needed.

...it also has fuckall to do with states, though. States don't have human rights.
