"Terror supporters, antisemites and extremists" could have their German citizenship revoked — if they hold a second nationality, according to planning documents. Critics of the move say it will lead to unequal treatment.
Given the murky definition of antisemitism which was recently adopted in a letter from parlament, this could lead to some very interesting but uncomfortable situations for the government. Such as revoking citizenship from Jews or Israelis critical of Israels current government.
But then they can't use the broad banner of antisemitism to silence anyone that gets on their nerves. Anti-genocide would just be logical, can't have that.
I wholly support deeming any form of racism or bigotry unacceptable in a civilized society. The issues comes with fairly enforcing measures like the one proposed here. Who decides whats antisemetic and what isn't? Germany has been severly cracking down on any form of protest against the fascist regime of Israel and their genocide against Gaza. These protests are already being called antisemtic by the media and the government.
If by 'legal definition' you mean the definition used in the recent letter signed in parlament: That's not legally binding. It's basically just a statement with no legal status. But yes it could signal the path the new government might take in the future.
April fools? I can't tell how many people support this genocide but wouldn't that make "a lot" of world population antisemitic? It's a convenient label for anyone in the way..I hate it here
Ah, of course, it's not real antisemitism: it's the kind where you say mass murder and genocide are just as bad when perpetrated by Israeli Jews as they are when carried out by anyone else. And this seems to be part of a worldwide trend that goes along with the lurch toward fascism, for governments to decide they can kick out and disown their own citizens because of their inconvenient political views.
