So, everybody in the country loses their citizenship, or what?

That doesn’t seem fair to me.

Anti-Semites cannot be granted German citizenship under new law – minister.

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.

“Our draft for the new citizenship law, which we will now discuss in the Bundestag, provides a clear exclusion of anti-Semites,” Faeser said in a statement issued after she met with Israeli ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor.

What’s left of the Left?

Not much. The little that is left of the Left is falling apart. Right and left, so-to-speak.

More power to you, lady.

German hard-left icon set to start a new populist party – The new party would further scramble Germany’s fracturing political landscape — and likely peel away support from the far right.

Sahra Wagenknecht, the longtime face of The Left, which has roots in East Germany’s Communist Party, says her new faction will represent the large swath of the German electorate that is deeply frustrated with mainstream politics.

It Can’t Happen Here

Antisemitism? In Germany? No way.

Or… Way? And if way, what do you mean it’s not the Germans who are being the antisemites?

Antisemitism Among Muslim Migrants Unsettles a Germany Haunted by the Holocaust – Authorities prohibit pro-Palestinian demonstrations and displays of support for Hamas, as incidents of antisemitic crimes surge.

There’s nothing like a good, meaningless, symbolic gesture…

As long as it’s SAFE.

So make sure to use a lot of anti-Covid disinfectant after holding all those hands!

Hundreds of Germans form ‘human shield’ to protect Berlin synagogue – 350 gather at Fraenkelufer Synagogue, where security gates are adorned with images of dozens of those kidnapped by Hamas and held in Gaza Strip.

German of the day: Grenzkontrolle

That means border control.

You know, like increased German border controls in “border-free” Europe? If even the Germans are finally starting to get it you know how bad it’s got.

Germany prepares to widen stationary border checks – Germany is expected to notify the EU about plans to introduce fixed border checks on the Polish, Czech Republic and Swiss borders. Previously, this had only been possible at the Austrian frontier.

The German Interior Ministry is expected to register stationary border controls with Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland with the European Commission in light of a high number of refugees entering Germany.

The climate scientist who faces getting fired for refusing to fly back to Germany from the Solomon Islands.

Dr Gianluca Grimalda told by Kiel Institute for World Economy he must be at his desk on Monday after finishing fieldwork – A climate researcher has been threatened with the sack by his employer after refusing to fly back to Germany at short notice after finishing fieldwork in the Solomon Islands archipelago.

On Friday Dr Gianluca Grimalda, an environmental campaigner who refuses to fly on principle, was told by his employer, Germany’s Kiel Institute for World Economy, that if he was not at his desk on Monday he would no longer have a job to return to.

Instead this week he was still waiting in Buka Town, Bougainville, to embark on a cargo ship to begin his journey back to Europe, after six months studying the impact of climate change and globalisation on communities in Papua New Guinea.

German Politicians Bewildered

Like, what are we supposed to do? Take the concerns of our fellow citizens seriously (see Migrant Madness, unaffordable energy, the housing crisis, inflation, Ukraine, etc.)?

That’s out of the question.

Germany bewildered about how to halt the rise of the AfD – The far right’s rise is sending shock waves through the country’s political landscape.

In Germany, news regarding the seemingly unstoppable rise of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) appears on an almost weekly basis. But nowadays this isn’t just true of the notoriously AfD-friendly states in east Germany, it’s also spreading further west.

In Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg, the AfD is currently running well above 30 percent. The party is gaining ground in the former West German states of Hesse and Bavaria as well, where it is expected to land at around 15 percent in this weekend’s elections.

Germans walking the walk?

Hardly. They’re not even talking the talk yet. Not when it comes to the European Migrant Meltdown.

They still don’t get it. They’ve got their heads in the sand. Germany is behaving no better than the Banana Republic ITSELF (US-Amerika).

EU fails to agree changes to migration laws as Germany and Italy clash – Hopes fade of deal being struck, with one sticking point being right to occasionally breach detention centre standards…

The disagreement is said to have centred on two issues. Sources say Germany objected to a new clause, supported by Italy, that would allow minimum standards in detention centres to be breached in exceptional circumstances.

It is understood that Italy’s far-right government also objected to a clause, which Germany supported, in relation to migrants assisted by NGOs to reach an EU country. Giorgia Meloni, the Italian prime minister, was reported to have expressed her “astonishment” to Scholz earlier this week at the news that Germany was funding charities to rescue people in the Mediterranean sea.

This is what the “conservative” opposition in Germany wants (thanks again, Angela Merkel)

They clearly want to increase the popularity of the far-right AfD (Alternative for Germany).

It has to be what they want. Otherwise they would propose aggressive measures against Germany’s “immigrant dystopia,” like the AfD is doing – and eating what used to be their lunch.

The “traffic light” coalition currently in power makes no secret about having no intention of doing anything about the migrant meltdown, but of course no one here even expects them to do anything (see the Banana Republic of US-Amerika for a similar situation near you).

German far-right party surges on immigrant ‘dystopia’ – Alternative for Germany is stoking anti-migrant sentiment in the town of Görlitz — and nationwide.

Nationally it (the AfD) is polling at nearly 22 per cent, ahead of all three parties in chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition: the Social Democrats, Greens and liberal Free Democrats.

Won’t imposing checks impose upon the Czechs?

And Poles too? Whatever.

Everybody knows that German border guards don’t Czech very thoroughly.

Germany will impose checks on borders with Poland and Czech Republic, official says – The government is under increasing pressure to stem the flow of asylum seekers.

These “temporary controls at selected border crossings” will begin “within the next days,” the official added.
