Authorities in Berlin ordered the revocation of the citizenship of a Palestinian immigrant who shared online pictures of his newly issued passport and then praised Hamas, a German newspaper reported.
The man, who was identified in the media only as Abdallah, will lose his citizenship as a result of a decision by the Berlin State Office for Immigration, Bildt Online reported on Saturday.
Following his naturalization, Abdallah expressed “joy” on social media, sharing photos of his newly issued German passport. He filmed himself singing joyously. The following day, he posted praises for Hamas, a banned terrorist group in Germany, according to the report.
The posts went viral and circulated last month as evidence of the naturalization of terror sympathizers. Anti-immigration and anti-racism activists pointed to the posts as indicative of how Germany has imported virulent antisemitism by letting in massive numbers of Muslims from the Middle East with little or no vetting.
