New German citizens required to affirm Israel's right to exist

Seems to be a good way to filter out antisemitism.
What if the antisemites... lie?
True. I think it’s more symbolic.
However what I found out discussing with actual nazis: they don’t really like lying about something which is a core identity of them. They like to weasel around it, but hate saying something like: „all human life is equal.“
The anti-semites are probably ecstatic at the whole linking of a nation that commits Genocide and kills little children with snipers, bombs and starvation to the entire Jewish ethnicity.
It makes it incredibly easy for them to grab some particularly nasty action of the state of Israel as an example and say "See, that's how Jews are like".
Non-Jews going around telling other people, including Jews, that people who mass murder civilians, including very purposefully children, journalists and medical personnel, represent the Jewsih Religion and hence implying those actions are Jewishness, is the most antisemitic thing around.
yeah sure.. antisemites come from other countries to Germany. It's not like Germany had any history with antisemitism. Just imagine a universe, where Germany killed people, just because they were jewish. Unimaginable! Right?
I think Germany has indeed a deep rooting problem with antisemitism. After all the time that’s concerning.
But no reason letting more into the county, don’t you think?
You know, the Nazis did not only kill Jews, they killed Muslims, Gypsies and homosexuals as well.
So what about them? why not ask if they recognize non-binary genders as well? why not put basic questions about Islam as well on the sheet?
Yes. And you have point. But Jews were the main enemy and scapegoat of the nazis. That’s just a historical fact.
Forget specifics just test for psychological patterns supporting pauschalisierende Ablehnungskonstruktionen. Which run counter to human dignity anyway so in principle, no change in law is needed.
...it also has fuckall to do with states, though. States don't have human rights.
