Supporters say Palestinian-Jordanian woman's case is one of the harshest examples of how the German state is weaponising residency issues to repress Palestinian solidarity

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."

      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.
