German citizenship test to include questions on Israel and Holocaust – TRT World

Posted By on March 30, 2024

Unacceptable double-standard

A leading political expert said earlier that the new German law requiring immigrants to recognise Israels right to exist as a condition to gain nationality is Berlins attempt to whitewash its brutal Nazi past at the cost of Palestinian lives.

Germany demands acknowledgment of Israel's right to exist as Israel wages a genocidal war in Gaza, says distinguished Jewish-American scholar and activist Norman Finkelstein,

The bill states that it is pushing for the acquisition of German citizenship to be dependent on a commitment to Israel's right to exist and a declaration that the naturalisation applicant has not pursued or will pursue any endeavors directed against the existence of the State of Israel.

According to Finkelstein, Germanys military support for Israel, in light of the law, shows that it is willing to uphold an unacceptable double-standard, namely that it is permissible for Israel to wrong Palestinians but not for Germans to oppose that.
