Applicants for German citizenship will be required to explicitly affirm Israel's right to exist under a new citizenship law which came into effect on Tuesday.

The new law shortened the number of years that a person must have lived in Germany in order to obtain a passport, from eight to five years. It will also allow first-generation migrants to be dual citizens.

As part of the shake-up, new questions were added to the country's citizenship test, including about Judaism and Israel's right to exist.

You need a history lesson and you need to learn what "Nazi" means and meant. Hearing these words from you is a disgrace to millions of people that died from a genocide and ethnic clensing.

What about people dying in Palestine as we do this circle jerk... What about them?

This isn't about them because the qurstion is whether we accept Israel as a country. This is unrelated.
