Imo creating the possibility of revoking someone’s citizenship draws exactly the wrong lessons from the Nazi era. One of the Nazi regime’s first steps in dehumanizing and persecuting Jews, Roma, political dissidents, and others was to strip them of their citizenship, effectively removing their rights and protections under the law. This law is a kind of political virtue signalling that doesn’t actually have the aim to reduce antisemitism but to find an excuse to throw out migrants under the disguise of “fighting antisemitism”.

The IHRA working definition cites 11 examples of antisemitism, most of which relate to Israel. According to its clarification: it is antisemitic to deny the Jewish people the right to self-determination, for example by describing Israel as a “racist endeavor” –– one example that can be interpreted quite broadly.

Yeah, this is bad. The ethno-nationalist apartheid state is a racist endeavor.

The widespread popularity in Germany of the far-right AfD, parts of which are under state surveillance as suspected “extremist”, is a major concern for Lapidot. “At a time when policies and political visions advocated by fascists and Nazis in the 1930s are being revived, portraying antisemitism as imported by Arabs, Palestinians, and Muslims […]​ is cynical and extremely disturbing.”

The union of trolling and fascism in language is Orwellian.

They learned their lesson
