Discrimination and hatred against Jews are being spread. - Hater is to submit German passport.
The first federal state admitted in November that it's necessary to acknowledge the establishment of Israel as a country before granting a German passport.
A rap song featuring the Syrian-born artist known as Abu Shaqra, was shared online in early January. The song celebrates the Hamas massacre on October 7. He says, "My people, you are writing history." He continues with, "The Jerusalem Flood will come quickly," a reference to the official name for the Hamas attack, al-Aksa Flood.
The tragic loss of over 1000 Jewish lives and 250 abductions doesn't seem to bother the 18-year-old musician.
Abu Shaqra, real name is Mohammed H., obtained German citizenship with a false declaration.
A couple of weeks after the video's release, Abu Shaqra received his citizenship certificate at the City Hall of Halle. In exchange for this right, he had signed an agreement stating, "I explicitly acknowledge the special German responsibility for the state of Israel and the existence right of Israel and condemn any antisemitic efforts."
However, this was a lie with consequences.
The Interior Minister of Saxony-Anhalt, Tamara Zieschang, expressed her view, "I expect the city of Halle to immediately initiate the procedure for the revocation of naturalization. Acquiring German citizenship is a high honor that cannot be forged."
The location of the video's recording adds to the discomfort. Abu Shaqra recorded his rap at the meeting center "Passage 13" in Halle, which receives public funding.
The city's spokesman, Drago Bock, had already stated, "If the allegations are true, this contradicts the city's fundamental principles of integrative youth work. The city will contact the association and thoroughly investigate the situation."
FDP candidate requests transparency
"Antisemitic individuals should not be given a platform and certainly not be financed with tax money," says Josef Hebeda, who is running for the FDP in the city council.
He requests that the organizers of the concert, as well as the city as a finance provider of the youth center, explain why they failed to notice that taxpayer money was being used for anti-Semitic content.
