#Germany seeks to #deport #protesters

Submitted by webadmin on 9 April, 2025

"The German state has issued deportation orders for three #EUCitizens and one #American who have attended #ProPalestinian protests.

"Berlin immigration authorities issued the orders on 31 March, demanding that the four individuals leave Germany within one month or else face deportation. Their orders cite a protest in October 2024 in which masked individuals caused 'significant property damage, including #graffiti', as well as resisting arrest and calling a #police officer a '#fascist'.

"Unusually, three of the four orders also invoke the German principle of #Staatsräson, (“#StateReason”). This term originates from a speech #AngelaMerkel gave to the #IsraeliKnesset in 2008, asserting that #Israeli security was fundamental to the purpose of the German state.

"Staatsräson is not an officially defined term or codified anywhere in the German constitution or by German courts. At least two of the protestors are appealing the decision, with their lawyer telling Al-Monitor that it is a 'political concept, not a legal concept, and therefore unlawful'.

"In any case, the #deportation of #activists for #protesting should be opposed.

#Khalil

"The activists’ lawyer has drawn parallels to the case of #MahmoudKhalil in the US. 'I see similarities… It is weaponization of #ImmigrationLaw as a tool to silence #PoliticalDissent'. Khalil’s case may also lead to a debate on interpretations of the US constitution’s #FirstAmendment.

"Back in February, #Berlin police broke up a protest, citing a ban on '#ArabicChanting', the playing of #ArabicMusic, or giving a speech in #Arabic. In October 2024, police raided the homes of five men, four of whom were being investigated over 'authorship of #antisemitic social media posts'.

Clapping

"And after the joint Israeli-Palestinian documentary #NoOtherLand won an Academy Award, German culture minister Claudia Roth insisted that she was only clapping for Israeli director Yuval Abraham, not Palestinian director #BaselAdra. Several politicians, including the mayor of Berlin, called for her resignation. A torrent of public criticism was aimed at #YuvalAbraham for his acceptance speech, to which he responded: 'To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire — and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger.'

"Israeli politicians cited German politicians when attacking the filmmakers themselves, and only weeks later, co-director #HamdanBallal was attacked by #IsraeliSettlers in the #WestBank, and removed from an ambulance by #IDF soldiers.

"German Staatsräson is less about assuring Israel’s right to exist, and more about giving a free hand to the #repressive policies of the Israeli right."

Melbourne cinema cancels screening of Oscar-winning doco after receiving threats.

The documentary, #NoOtherLand is the joint work of #Palestinian and #Israeli filmmakers, and examines the ongoing violent illegal theft of Palestinian land in the #WestBank by Israeli settlers.

The screening was organised by Jewish Council of Australia. Those using threats to shut it down (presumably pro-Israeli far-right supporters of the violence documented in the film) are likely motivated by hatred: of Palestinians and/or Arabs and/or Muslims, but also of the myriad Jewish people who don't support apartheid, land theft and genocide.

Will a single politician from either major party (who have often turned calls for 'social cohesion' into a weapon to attack anti-genocide activism) name the threats against this cinema as both Islamophobic *and* antisemitic?

Fifteen workers in were allegedly killed by forces, with autopsy reports revealing multiple gunshot wounds and indications of execution-style killings; one paramedic was discovered with his hands and feet tied, and the victims were reportedly found in a mass grave shortly after their disappearance during an attack on March 23. buff.ly/aIbrJZ7

Members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society and other emergency services prayed over the bodies of fellow rescuers killed a week earlier.

@AntiracistHippie "#NorthDakota’s strong ties with the #drone industry formed a few years ago, with the state’s goal of transforming the state into ground zero for drone technology. By taking advantage of the state, its resources, and its people, the mission to turn North Dakota into a silicon valley for drones has already produced a vast network of unmanned aircraft system (#UAS) technological hubs. However, in doing so it has also entangled North Dakotans into a deep relationship with #Elbit Systems of America, a subsidiary of the #Israeli company. This relationship is not comprehensively understood by #NorthDakotans nor our lawmakers."
