Germany is revoking the citizenship of a recently naturalised man of Syrian background in Berlin after he allegedly praised Hamas on Instagram one day after receiving his German passport.

According to reports, he grew up in Berlin from early childhood, obtained German citizenship under the 2024 naturalisation rules and then posted a picture of two Hamas fighters with a Palestine flag and the caption “Heroes of Palestine” with a green heart. Security services flagged the post, and the Berlin immigration authority treated it as evidence that he had violated the declaration he had just signed; a withdrawal notice was issued and sent to his lawyer. If the decision becomes final, he will lose his German citizenship and the authorities would then have to decide in a separate procedure whether he can remain in Germany at all.

Under §35 of the German Nationality Act (StAG), citizenship can be revoked for up to ten years if it was obtained through deception. Under §10(1), applicants must declare that they support the protection of Jewish life, a commitment that administrative practice understands as including Israel’s existence.

    We really gotta remove this protection for the Israeli state from our laws. People wouldnt have this done to them for saying “Russia should be dissolved” but somehow Israel is treated like this innocent place of moral perfection that could never be wrong despite the majority of its population being in favor of genocide.

        Nobody said anything about Hamas…

        But also germans wouldnt be called nazis for this. Hamas is only classified as a terrorist organization because of Israels international lobbying. All other countries just copy the Israeli governments opinion.

          A. OP’s article does mention Damas on the first paragraph.

          B. Hamas has committed hate crimes against Zionists, which is the lowest definition of terrorism.

      I’m not even going to pretend to defend the behavior of the Israeli military, government, orthodoxy, and settlers, but it is hyperbolic to claim a majority of Israelis are in favor of genocide. That just isn’t true by any reasonable measure.

        Polls say otherwise sadly. The majority of Israelis has repeatedly been shown to be in favor of settling all of Gaza which means erasing Gaza as it was/is and pushing out or killing its people. Thats genocide.

        People have to stop looking at Israel as a normal country like any other. Israels population hasnt evolved organically over time like most others. It is largely made up of very religious people that came to Israel out of religious belief and or because their local religious groups in other countries told them that they will only be truly happy/safe once they are in Israel. This is a completely absurd demography chart. Their entire plan is population growth and expansion.

        Its basically a complete ethno state filled with only the most radical religious people that were willing to give up their life to move to their divine land. There are some really good documentaries on this and its very painful to watch them.

          Basically put all the anti-society assholes in one place and let them ferment in a place where the children’s songs and hit pop songs have lyrics that translate from the black speech as ‘exterminate the brutes’ and 'rape murder defile! Rape murder defile! Fuck them in the skull and crush it under the tread of your tank! Defile everything! Violate it all! For the glory of the Jewish master race! Rape murder kill feel the fresh blood as you fuck the bullet holes in their sacred places! Tear their children’s asses wide!’¹ and given them unlimited money.

          Theres one way to deal with these fucking monsters; they all need to die, or they will keep doing atrocities. There’s no other way at this point.

          ¹genuinely might rate on the charts if you translated it to the black speech and gave it a nice beat

          First of all, please cite your polling sources. You cannot make such a strong claim without providing a reputable polling source.

          Second, your population chart is misleading as it is only marginally more bottom heavy than the world average

          2022 world population pyramid

          I appreciate the argument you’re making and I’m not dismissive you outright but you have not been convincing.

            You are right i should have added some sources, but honestly i assumed that this was common knowledge for people on here at this point.

            July 2025: https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/07/31/52-of-israelis-want-gaza-settlements-back/

            more than half (52%) of Israelis support renewed Jewish settlement in Gaza

            June 2025: https://archive.is/4ioWh This one was according to themselves not a good poll, but they quote another one done by Tel Aviv University which is still >50%

            A recent poll among Israeli Jews, as reported in Haaretz, produced truly shocking results: 82 percent of respondents reportedly supported the forcible expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, while 56 percent supported expelling Palestinian citizens of Israel.

            At around the same time this poll was conducted, Tel Aviv University fielded a comprehensive, large-scale survey as part of its ongoing Israel National Election Studies research project. In that study, participants were asked whether they would support a solution for Gaza that includes transferring its population to another country or countries. Among Jewish respondents, agreement stood at 53 percent, and among the entire Israeli population – including Arab citizens – it was 45 percent.

            So yes, the Israeli population is completely full of genocide supporters, especially the jewish population.

            The fact that there are still so many uniformed people like you is just a testament to how deeply embedded the Israel lobby is in our media landscape. The top levels of the Israel government have been very open about how they would love to torture and kill every last palestinian on earth, but our local media apparently cant read hebrew.

              IsraelHayom is as bad as FOX News in terms of bias and hackery while your second source very specifically talks about expulsion, not genocide. I’m not gonna suggest that forcing everyone out of Gaza is even remotely okay but it is a far, far cry from “most Israelis support exterminating everyone in Gaza”.

              It is frankly concerning that you have been convinced by a fear-mongering news source and a marginally related opinion piece that “most Israelis want to exterminate all Gazans”. Please do better.

                Expulsion is definitely genocide.

                “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”.

            They have made themselves into something incompatible with humanity, only for killing.

            Translate some of the shit they sat on twitter, or the lyrics of their popular music. Tell me those are human once you’ve done that. I don’t even need to direct you anywhere in particular, just feed a few random posts or songs through your translator of choice. I’ll wait.

              I do not disagree with you that the government and a large contingent of Israelis fit that description. And I’m not sure why you think otherwise. No society is a monolith.

                Translate a random sample of the shit they say on twitter. Random sample of their music. See how many until you find one that’s not genocidal, not about their glorious rapes, not about Zionist supremacy.

                Fuck even the milder swastika nazis will occasionally fantasize about fucking a lobotomized zombie tradwife instead of a bare throat hole left by a decapitation while the still living head stares on
