GERMANY TO DENY CITIZENSHIP TO THOSE USING PRO-PALESTINE AND ANTI-ISRAEL SLOGANS UNDER NEW LAW. (PHOTO).

 


Germany has revised its citizenship laws, imposing stricter requirements to combat rising antisemitism and racism in the country.

Phrases like “From the River to the Sea,” often seen as an anti-Israel slogan, could disqualify applicants if posted on social media.


The updated law allows foreign workers in Germany to apply for citizenship after five years instead of eight, aiming to expedite the process. However, this change comes with a strong emphasis on upholding democratic values and Germany’s historical responsibility towards Jewish life. Applicants who deny the Holocaust or support violence against Israel will be ineligible for citizenship, according to German media reports.


German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser underscored the importance of shared values, stating that those who do not respect Germany’s democratic principles and its commitment to Jewish life will not be granted citizenship. The citizenship test will now include questions on antisemitism and Jewish life to ensure that applicants understand these values.


The changes reflect a broader effort to address rising antisemitism in Germany, where incidents surged by 83% last year, according to the watchdog RIAS. Many of these incidents were linked to anti-Israel activism, with some denying or relativizing the Holocaust. The law sends a strong message that antisemitic or racist behaviour is incompatible with German society.
