Germany has recently taken a chilling new step, signalling its willingness to use political views as grounds to curb migration. Authorities are now moving to deport foreign nationals for participating in pro-Palestine actions. As I reported this week in the Intercept, four people in Berlin – three EU citizens and one US citizen – are set to be deported over their involvement in demonstrations against Israel’s war on Gaza. None of the four have been convicted of a crime, and yet the authorities are seeking to simply throw them out of the country.

The accusations against them include aggravated breach of the peace and obstruction of a police arrest. Reports from last year suggest that one of the actions they were alleged to have been involved in included breaking into a university building and threatening people with objects that could have been used as potential weapons.

But the deportation orders go further. They cite a broader list of alleged behaviours: chanting slogans such as “Free Gaza” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, joining road blockades (a tactic frequently used by climate activists), and calling a police officer a “fascist”. Read closely, the real charge appears to be something more basic: protest itself.

    You defend a genocidal state that is carpet bombing civilians and commiting war crime everyday God makes and you think you’re on the right side?

        Ehi ehi! I found the zionazi!! How does it feel to swallow this much bibi cum and be satisfied? Did you say thank you to the IDF for killing kids and setting hospitals on fire?

        “We are so moral and everyone hates us. Are these rocks khamas??? I think someone need to change my diaper.”

        do you want me to send you some israeli citizens saying this? Cause the internet is full of these.

          setting hospitals on fire

          The hamas is using civilian buildings like hospitals, schools etc as bases. So yes - they are being bombed.

          Reading the rest of your brainfart, any discussion with you is futile tho.

            Proof?

            I bet you keep these thoughts for you in the real world (or you live in colonised Palestine). Why don’t you go out in a bar and film yourself shouting this? Show us your guts big boy.

            Also because you are so fucking stupid that you don’t know that IDF is actually using human shields (do you wanna see some photo of the pigs?).

            Also also because if THE hamas (😂) was hiding in a Israeli hospital (this is fake news, its not reality you stupid moron) means we can bomb an Israeli hospital and kill israeli kids no? Right? It would be okay for you right? The hamas is hiding!

            Lol you’re still upholding that “huMaN shielD bullshit”.

            Gaza is the size of Manhattan and pretty much as dense. Of course they’re in the middle of civilians, asshole, they’re in a concentration camp.

        They wouldn’t need “free” water, electricity, or go to Israel for a job if they had autonomy.

            Hmm… Perhaps you’re ignorant of the definition of “genocide”. Allow me to enlighten you:

            Genocide (noun):

            1. The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group.

            2. The systematic killing of a racial or cultural group.

            3. The systematic killing of substantial numbers of people on the basis of ethnicity, religion, political opinion, social status, or other particularity.

            (source: wordlink).

            • the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.

            (source: Merriam-Webster).

            Genocide is violence that targets individuals because of their membership of a group and aims at the destruction of a people.[a][1] Raphael Lemkin, who first coined the term, defined genocide as “the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group” by means such as “the disintegration of [its] political and social institutions, of [its] culture, language, national feelings, religion, and [its] economic existence”.[2]

            (source: Wikipedia)

            I hope that clears a few things up.

        Israel did pulled out of Gaza. They kept large part of the west bank to colonize, leading to the downfall of the Fatah and the rise of Hamas.

        Jews are fine. In fact plenty of jews opposes Israel shit.

        You specifically though, I don’t know if you’re Jewish, but you’re definitely a piece of shit

        No Other reAsOn ThAn beiNg JewiSh

        A two-year-old Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces. On 1 June, an Israeli soldier shot and injured the child, as well as his father, with live ammunition; the boy succumbed to a head injury four days later. According to the Israeli military, as reported by the media, the soldier mistakenly identified the car where the father and the child were sitting as the source of a shooting attack towards a nearby Israeli settlement. Between 1 January and 12 June 2023, Israeli forces killed 21 Palestinian children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, compared with 14 children killed during in the same period in 2022.
