Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.
The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency.
The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.
“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”
I can’t research this particular incident if all you give out is a video without sources from local media saying whether he experienced repercussions or not.
I don’t get what this is supposed to prove, that anyone can put on a keffiyeh and say Nazi shit?
It’s not local media, it’s literally a nazi live streamer filming people for profit. Nonetheless, it’s proving that it’s not always hard to tease out actual antisemitism from a subset of the people attending pro-Palestine demonstrations. And I do find that a credibility issue.
I agree and also, what the fuck does this have to do with anti-genocide protesters getting deported?
That’s how the thread evolved. It likely has nothing to do with the four people from the article though.
