A Palestinian-Jordanian woman with German residency was separated from her one-year-old after German authorities deemed the child a security threat, she and her lawyers say.
The European Legal Support Centre, which is supporting her case, say the woman is the latest victim of the German state’s weaponisation of residency issues to repress Palestinian solidarity.
“The German state systematically exploits residence, asylum and citizenship law to punish already marginalised communities,” said an ELSC spokesperson.“There is no justification for separating a newborn from his parents, yet to label the child a ‘security threat’ marks a grotesque new low, even by their own oppressive standards."
Classic geneva_convenience propaganda post
deemed the child a security threat,
The one-year old child is a security threat? Am I understanding this correctly?
She was the one who was deemed a security threat, but the child was not allowed to re-enter Germany even when they appealed (thr appeal got delayed since a judge ruled it wasn’t urgent). Make it make sense
Alright, it took some time to understand what actually was happening: There was no state legalized separation of mother and child, the mother chose to return to Germany and left her child back with her parents. The mother is under investigation because she had/has ties to organizations classified as terrorist organizations in Germany and the EU and her permanent residency permit is in jeopardy.
The sensationalized headline is misleading. German authorities do not misuse their power to separate families. And they do not misuse their power to punish Palestinian supporters.
I’m not saying that this was a well handled case, in fact you can see the flaws of a over engineered bureaucracy at play, but this is not even remotely as bad as what is happening elsewhere.
And pointing out 22 cases of supposed abuse when there are over a quarter million request for asylum doesn’t make a good case either.
Articles like that won’t help Palestinians, they will further move them into a terrorist corner where they definitely don’t belong.
Damn.
Germany going the fascist way again.
Israel must have a lot of money to throw around for countries to be acting this way.
They probably have a ton of blackmail material on German politicians.
Remember the various ex top German politicians getting money from Russian states companies that came to light after Russia invaded Ukraine and the foot dragging of the German government on everything from disconnecting from Russia gas to helping Ukraine and sanctioning Russia.
My bet is that Germany is massively riddled with corruption and Israel has for decades invested a lot of time and money in making sure they have dirt on as many German politicians as possible and is now using that information.
Most of it comes from the US
I mean loaded diapers are a bioweapon. /j
Fucking gouhls
In the old game Ultima 7, you could use clean cloth on a baby to create a soiled diaper and then throw it at literally anyone to make them panic and run away in fear of you. This included dragons.
