Questions added to citizenship test on antisemitism, Israel and Germany's responsibility towards Jewish people

Applicants for German citizenship will be required to explicitly affirm Israel’s right to exist under a new citizenship law which came into effect on Tuesday.

The new law shortened the number of years that a person must have lived in Germany in order to obtain a passport, from eight to five years. It will also allow first-generation migrants to be dual citizens.

As part of the shake-up, new questions were added to the country’s citizenship test, including about Judaism and Israel’s right to exist.

    Considering the German government will do basically anything to get away from even the slightest hint of antisemitism, I can see exactly why they’re doing this.

    But it’s comical for Germany to be bending over backwards to avoid repeating it’s genocidal past whilst turning a complete blind eye to an actual ongoing genocide.
