Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters

Four Gaza protesters in Germany are set for deportations despite objections from an immigration official that none were convicted of crimes.

theintercept.com

“What we’re seeing are the harshest possible measures available, based on accusations that are extremely vague and in part completely unfounded,” said Gorski, the lawyer for two of the protesters.

In an unprecedented move, said Gorski, three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification.

You haven't answered my question.

Why are the Free Palestine westerners so uninterested in the Gazan popular revolution against the Hamas fascists? Has it really all been about antisemitism?

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Obv the problem is that if they acknowledge that Hamas are tyrannical fascists then that retrospectively legitimises Israeli action and also obliterates their own imagined moral authority.

You need to stop following this stuff. It's not doing you any good at all.

There is a probably made up headless baby so Hamas are entitled to:

- violently suppress peaceful Gazan resistance
- renege on any deals
- keep hostages indefinitely. Torture them, starve them, execute them.
- ignore the fact that the rest of the world, including the Arab League, wants nothing to do with them.

Is that what you're driving at?

Something going on between Trump and Bibi at the moment.

US President Donald Trump is disappointed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayom reports, citing two “senior sources close to the president.”​

​

According to the Hebrew-language daily, in closed-door conversations Trump said he was going to make progress on his objectives in the Middle East without waiting for Israel.​

​

On a deal with Saudi Arabia, Trump wants Israel to be a central part of an agreement, but “Netanyahu is delaying making the necessary decisions,” writes Israel Hayom’s Ariel Kahana, who interviewed Trump at Mar-A-Lago last year.​

​

Trump is also still upset with Netanyahu and his circle over what he sees as an attempt to push the White House into military action against Iran’s nuclear program, say the sources.​

​

Israeli officials were caught off guard by Trump’s announcement that the US had reached a ceasefire with the Houthis in Yemen this week, and by the start of US-Iran nuclear talks in April.​

​

After the Houthi ceasefire announcement, Netanyahu and senior ministers have been emphasizing in recent statements that Israel “can defend itself by itself.”​

Assuming israel make gaza uninhabitable at least for the time being, where do you think the surviving inhabitant will end up?

i don't have this impression at all but might be the bubble i'm in. another 100+ murdered today, mostly children and women.

I think many millions of people around the world "give a shit", but there's basically nothing that can be done about it for as long as Israel enjoys the apparently unconditional support and patronage of the US.

I was fully immersed for a long time but had to tap out due to emotional exhaustion. There's nothing we can do at all and it's the most inhumane daily devastation

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Are you guys still supporting Hamas? I wonder what happened to the Palestinians protesting them; I guess they just changed their minds.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Well, what you could do is urge neighbouring countries to accept refugees. Or is Hamas preventing them from escaping - surely not!

 

[version]

There's been a sudden push to blame the whole thing on Netanyahu. The FT, New York Times, and possibly other publications have recently come out saying enough is enough and Bibi has to be restrained.
