Germans know a thing or two about just where tolerating anti-Semitism can lead. In stark contrast to the Albanese government in Australia, who can’t even bring themselves use existing laws to prosecute anti-Semitic protesters waving banned Hezbollah flags, and chanting ‘Gas the Jews!’, the German government is laying down the law.
If you don’t share our values, you’re out.
Germany is laying down the law that would see Greens party MPs booted from parliament and the country.
German’s Federal Interior Ministry announced updates to rules governing naturalization, including the right to deny citizenship to those who post, share or chant slogans such as “From the River to the Sea.”
This is the very slogan that Afghanistan-born ex-Labor MP Fatima Payman chanted in Parliament, and a roster of Greens MPs, in Australia and NZ, have also publicly bellowed. Pakistani-born Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi joined her colleagues in voting against a motion to condemn the slogan. Faruqi has also been photographed in front of a sign demanding to ‘keep the world clean’ of Jews.
Faruqi also publicly condemned the Australian government’s message of support to Israel in the wake of the October 7 atrocities and has consistently refused to condemn Hamas. But she did immediately jump on social media to condemn Israel’s targeted attack on Hezbollah terrorists.
No doubt, Germany would back up Pauline Hanson’s suggestion that Faruqi ‘piss off back to Pakistan’ with action.
In fact, a great many whom Australia inexplicably tolerates on its soil would find short shrift in Germany.
The Interior Ministry has also tightened rules designed to prevent racism and antisemitism from growing in the immigrant community in particular and in German society in general.
The German Federal Ministry of the Interior stated the aim of the new legislation is that “racism, antisemitism or any other form of misanthropy will rule out naturalization” […]
Prospective immigrants may also be excluded from becoming citizens if they deny the Holocaust or accusing Jews or the State of Israel for fabricating or exaggerating the Holocaust.
The new rules listed prohibited slogans, such as “From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free,” “Let’s Go Bomb Tel Aviv,” “Death to Israel” and “Israel, Child Murderer.”
In addition, using maps which replace the State of Israel with a Palestinian flag is also disqualified.
The deportation flights from Sydney and Melbourne would be busier than the Berlin Airlift.
According to Der Spiegel, questions about the Holocaust, Judaism and Israel will be asked on citizenship tests in Germany to screen out candidates who may hold extremist views.
“If you don’t share our values, you can’t get a German passport. We have drawn a crystal clear red line here,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told Der Spiegel.
If only we had a government in Australia which was as strong on defending our values from being swamped by imported hate from the shitholes of the world.
