Imo creating the possibility of revoking someone's citizenship draws exactly the wrong lessons from the Nazi era. One of the Nazi regime's first steps in dehumanizing and persecuting Jews, Roma, political dissidents, and others was to strip them of their citizenship, effectively removing their rights and protections under the law. This law is a kind of political virtue signalling that doesn't actually have the aim to reduce antisemitism but to find an excuse to throw out migrants under the disguise of "fighting antisemitism".

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

The IHRA working definition cites 11 examples of antisemitism, most of which relate to Israel. According to its clarification: it is antisemitic to deny the Jewish people the right to self-determination, for example by describing Israel as a "racist endeavor" –– one example that can be interpreted quite broadly.
Yeah, this is bad. The ethno-nationalist apartheid state is a racist endeavor.
The widespread popularity in Germany of the far-right AfD, parts of which are under state surveillance as suspected "extremist", is a major concern for Lapidot. "At a time when policies and political visions advocated by fascists and Nazis in the 1930s are being revived, portraying antisemitism as imported by Arabs, Palestinians, and Muslims [...]​ is cynical and extremely disturbing."
The union of trolling and fascism in language is Orwellian.
