New German citizens required to affirm Israel's right to exist (www.middleeasteye.net)

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.

Exist? Okay sure, why not.

Uh, maybe because they exist on stolen land, taken from Palestinians by force?

Okay, What would be the alternative then? Destroy the State of Israel and drive out Millions of People, guilty and innocent alike, again?

Would that make this whole situation better? You can't replace injustice with injustice.

I mean maybe Israel should stop their genocide and, I dunno, try to peacefully coexist and maybe return the fucking stolen homes to their owners? Yeah, some Israelis may need to leave. That's on their government for establishing an apartheid state and then attempting genocide to keep it rather than try to live in peace and harmony with Palestinians.

Okay. And now read my Comment again.

Exist = ok.

Bomb a Population to a pulp (genocide) = Fuck No.
