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?

              Oh really?

              Hamas literally made a “recruitment video” about digging up water pipes: https://youtu.be/04NB27x138Y

              The part where israel warns the population is true tho - confirmed by many people who literally got these messages on their phones. A german journalist even showed the message he received while being near gaza. Also, why do you think videos exist where the cam is lying on the ground BEFORE the attack hits? Because they know in advance.

              The part of “forced their own people to stay in buildings that are bombed” I can’t proof tbf - however, there are big indicators like people showing signs of restraint in bombed buildings, indicating they were tied to a chair or something similar to avoid escape. Hamas traditionally haven’t given a rats ass about the population, so this isn’t even far fetched and a realistic scenario.

                Also false. Astounding how every single thing Zionists say is a lie you can debunk in one google search. Yet they keep saying it.

                  You say you can, yet you don’t do it. Curious. Spreading misinformation by trying to seem smarter than you actually are. Classic .ml tactic. Pointless to talk with you dumbasses.

            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!

                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.

                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.

        Yeah fr these four dudes were not “Pro-Palestine Protestors” they were threatening people with axes, calling police fascists, and chanting “from the river to the sea”. That was terrorism, and they’re bejng let off incredibly lightly.

          “From the river to the sea” is very naughty. It means they want to kick out our favorite ethnostate and then where would we ship all the bombs we get from subsidising our weapons industry.

          We really have to deport those terrorists. They remind me I’m funding a genocide and I feel bad about myself now. Horrible people, really.

              Anyway a two state solution can be envision as long as israel isn’t one of them. Country who commited genocide don’t have the right to exist. We could do palestine-jordan for example, or gaza-jerusalem.

              Every two-state solution is aimed at perpetuating at least one ethnostate. It’s basically segregation. Were you also in favor of having two states in south africa? One black and one white? How does that sound?
