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.
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.
