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.
The IHRA’s definition does, so you can’t say “any”.
That said, the IHRA definition was pretty specifically created to be zionist and a shield for Israel, and should be rejected on those grounds.
How about “any sane or rational” definition?
Fine, you are of course technically correct 🙄
