    Germany has made it illegal to be vocally against Palestinian genocide, and last I heard was considering requiring immigrants to pledge loyalty to pissrael. That’s like a parody of Scary Communist Badguy Country.

      There wasn’t much consideration. Part of the citizenship application process includes a statement the applicant has to sign which says something along the lines of “Israel’s existence is part of German national security and it has a right to exist.”

      The new government may go even further though, by revoking the German citizenship of dual nationals who are affiliated with “anti-semitic, terrorist, or extremist” groups. No legal definition for those categories is forthcoming.
