A law under consideration by the German parliament would mean that people who have committed anti-Semitic acts can never be granted citizenship, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Wednesday.

      It did tho.

      Imagine trying to pretend that Palestine didn’t exist just cuz colonial England said “this is ours”.

      It’s like saying Vietnam wasn’t vietnamese when the French “owned” it.

      Statehood is not relevant in the context of forcibly moving ppl from their generational homes.

        The British Mandate of Palestine (which was not a state), arose because of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Palestine has literally never been a country, in all of human history. There were Jews living there at the time, too.

        The only people who have ever seriously tried to make Palestine a country are the Israelis (and by proxy the US/UN)

        Gaza and the West Bank were parts of Jordan and Egypt, lost during the 6 Day War, so even then the area we call Palestine wasn’t Palestinian. Israel gave them the territory, and was under no obligation to do so.

          Again being an officially recognized state has nothing to do with it. You act like colonized people have no inherent right unless the UN recognizes them as a state. That is not only false but laughably absurd.

          You’ve created a completely arbitrary rule that demonizes Arabs for really racist reasons.

          Palestine was recognized by the people who lived their as theirs. For thousands of years. Doesn’t matter if it was ottoman or England. Those Palestinians were there until English decisions pushed them off the land.

          Those are facts u can’t dispute.
