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.”

    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.

      Zionism is an ethno-nationalist death cult, just like Nazism. There is no excuse for being a Nazi or Zionist in 2025. I don’t know how people like you can look in the mirror and think they’re good people. I don’t know how you can genuinely love anyone or anything when you’re so emotionally crippled that shredding babies for the sake of Zionist Lebensraum seems like a good idea to you.

      Your Lebensraumprojekt needs to end, as soon as possible. Stop playing the victim card while you’re victimizing millions of Palestinians through GENOCIDDE, while you’re being simply called out on supporting an apartheid ethno-state that is wiping out every living being in Gaza as we speak and expanding that to the West Bank currently.

      History also tried to kill people like me, yet I’m not engaging in a genocide to steal land and create a quasi-state resembling every aspect of the countries that tried to eradicate people like me.

      Funny how people with similar experiences can be so far away in terms of values.
