Germany Revokes A Palestinian's Citizenship For Supporting Hamas Online by BlackViper(op): 11:22am On Oct 15, 2025

A Palestinian will have his newly acquired German citizenship revoked after posting a photo showing support for Hamas, writes The Telegraph.

A day after celebrating the arrival of his German passport, the man, referred to only as Abdallah, uploaded a photo to Instagram showing Hamas fighters with the caption "heroes of Palestine."

Shortly afterwards, he received a letter from Germany's Interior Ministry stating that his citizenship had been revoked, according to local newspaper Bild.

Germany has gone further than most European countries to punish support for Hamas and curb pro-Palestinian support, out of what it sees as a historic obligation to Israel and to right the injustices of its Nazi past, the Telegraph reports.

In 2024, it reformed its citizenship laws to require applicants to respect "its free democratic order and Germany's special historical responsibility" towards Jewish life.

New questions were also added to the German citizenship test regarding Jewish life and Israel's "right to exist."

Two eastern German states have forced applicants to write clearly that they believe in "Israel's right to exist as a place of refuge for all people of Jewish faith."

At least ten people in the state of Saxony-Anhalt had their applications rejected after failing to complete that section.

While Germany has blocked the path to citizenship based on an applicant's refusal to recognize Israel as a state, Abdallah's case is believed to be one of the few cases where citizenship has been revoked.

It is not clear whether he will be deported, given that Germany does not recognize Palestine as a state.

If you are in Rome, behave like a Roman.
They were kind enough to give you citizenship after your own nation was plunged into needless war by same people you support, if the law of the host country says they do not support those you support back home, why not respect that, as long as you intend to remain in their country. You want to show solidarity, how about you go to countries that support them?

Respect your host, if you feel you can't, then leave, it's that simple.

The earlier you remove him the better for you and your citizens.

Peace is finally here for Gaza yet these warmongers won't let peace stand a chance for the city to be rebuilt.

Makes one wonder why we clamoured for end to the bloodshed in the first place.

On the other thread, that freestuff guy is busy discussing how Iran dealt the US a heavy blow.

Is this what we should be discussing now?

When they say you guys are a non-repentant violence mongers, you start crying

Millions of Jews were killed through the gas chambers by the Nazi’s, therefore the German’s are only making strong efforts to make right their historical wrongs against Israel

E don dey set.
This is the beginning of something big in Europe.
Because they (immigrant mxlsmx protesters) are loud and troublesome, they think they are powerful.
What mxlsxms tried doing in the past two years with these protest was to test their population and the possible alignment of European sentiments to their jeehard cause aga!nst the J e w s . What they failed to test was the resolve and tendencies of the "European silent majority."

That is the true population that usually stands up to push back evil.

Nope, he is not going anywhere actually. You nigerians have been sp used to anyhowness that you do not seem to know how sane countries work. They will dpwngrade his residency to what he had before he had the passport. He did not commit any crime.

Trump needs to accelerate his leadership of Western countries to abolish citizenship programmes and allow only work/residence permits to address their population concerns, just as Middle East and Asian countries do.
