Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.

The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency.

The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.

“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”

      Da muss man nur ein paar Minuten zuhören um zu merken, dass es eine reine Pro-Hamas Propagadasendung ist.

        Yes everything is Hamas, obviously. What a load of BS. Give me one example of a “pro-Hamas” statement and in English please so that everyone can get an idea of your agenda. You Zionists are monsters, Zionism is irredeemable and history won’t fare well of people like you.

          Give me one example

          Immediately goes on a threatening and extreme Anti-Zionist rant.

          history won’t fare well of people like you

          History already tried to kill people like me. We are still here.

          Zionists know that the Jewish people need a state to protect their existence. You want the country destroyed that’s home to half the world’s Jewish people. Zionism is necessary because of people like you.
