🧵Germany announced a new citizenship law requiring applicants to declare Israel's right to exist. 
This move, part of a broader citizenship overhaul, underscores Germany’s commitment to its values, including its historical responsibility towards Judaism.
The new test includes questions on antisemitism, gender equality, and democracy.
Critics argue this law silences legitimate criticism of Israel. Meanwhile, antisemitic incidents in Germany have surged, leading to increased government action against anti-Zionist groups.
Antisemitic acts in Germany surged by 83% in 2023. Many, if not most of them, are simply criticism of Israel.
Recent cultural events in Germany have faced cancellations over pro-Palestinian stances, raising concerns about censorship.
