Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters
-
Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.
The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency.
The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.
“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”

Albert Einstein is 100% correct.

The challenge lies in the fact that criticism of Israel is often intertwined with accusations of anti-Semitism. Germany finds itself in a delicate position: on one hand, it has pledged unwavering support to the state of Israel; on the other hand, it must uphold the right to dissent and allow protests against Israeli policies.
It’s not delicate at all.

Are deportations part of the spending bill or are you moving the goal post?

Choosing between an incredibly bad lie to commit genocide and not committing genocide must be a hard choice for Germany, knowing their history and regret for their previous genocide
No wait, Germany is supporting genocide again.
"Germany has pledged unwavering support to a genocidal colonial apartheid" really is not the own Germans think it is.

Ahhh yes it's the far left that's working hand in hand with the fascists not the Democrats who rubber stamped Trump's cabinet picks, the Laken Riley act, and helped the recent spending bill over the edge lol.
You're actually just blue MAGA, you somehow make fun of Red Hats for still blaming Biden for everything while blaming the boogyman leftist for your parties failures.
It'd be hilarious how you people think you're so different from Republicans if I didn't have to deal with the reality of your representatives working with fascists to dismantle OUR rights.
Lmao, you were presented with a classic trolley problem and you failed it. Now it’s everyone’s fault but yours. Good luck in the impending fascist regime, I’m sure boycotting Kamala was worth it!

I appreciate that you're unable to refute what I said, doubled down on blaming others, and assumed my vote all in one message. Even more on brand of you doing all that with a condescending tone.
You truly are a Republican with a blue badge, bravo.
Enjoy fascism! 🫶

Israel the kings of the world?
Nah if the USA gets blamed (deserved) Germany gets fucking blamed (also deserved as the original fucking Nazis they shouldn’t have been forgiven, either).

Why should anyone give a fuck about that?

There is nothing to refute you dumbfuck ameritard. If you think Democrats are just as worse as Trump Republicans then you deserve everything that’s coming.

I don't understand how the quote applies to the situation described.
Germany has a deep responsibility to support Israel because of its history with the Holocaust. However, it also believes in free speech and the right to protest. The challenge is balancing these two—supporting Israel while allowing criticism of its policies without crossing into anti-Semitism. -

Aha so you're German! Think of the US Democrats as the social Democrats who signed off on the enabling act in your home country. Hopefully you're not too retarded for that.
Also the irony of saying enjoy fascism as your country deports legal citizens for protesting Israel lol

I love your passion, but I'm just a dude thousands of miles away, eating popcorn and laughing in your general direction.

You say that as if they were equals. The antisemitism is supporting Israel. They are the rich Jews who paid the Nazis for the right to bail like coward, which at least partly funded the Holocaust. Then, Germany left the Jews without citizenship until 1948. They basically solved the JewiSh QueStiOn by deporting them where they come from.
Maybe Germany's commitment should go toward preventing mass killing more than protecting a specific ethnic group.
And and don't get me started on how much money the Germans have made sending weapons for the genocide. This is just a subsidy to their weapon industry at this point

The world is far too nuanced to be categorized as merely good or evil, as you suggest. Following the atrocities of the Holocaust during World War II, Germany has assumed a profound moral and political obligation to safeguard and support the state of Israel, a commitment that remains a cornerstone of its foreign policy.
Yes, Germany has expressed strong support for Israel during the ongoing conflict, primarily through diplomatic efforts and humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Okay, I understand.
I would recommend using this website, it’s really useful when it comes to check journals reliability.
