The German government is pushing for a new law that would make it easier to expel or deport foreigners who glorify terrorism. Under the proposed law, any foreigner in Germany who makes even one comment on social media praising or endorsing terrorist crimes could trigger expulsion. This response comes after hate-filled posts celebrating Hamas attacks on Israel and the fatal knife attack on a young policeman in Mannheim circulated on the internet. The Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, stressed the need for stricter regulations for foreigners who engage in terrorist glorification, stating that such behavior not only lacks humanity but also fosters an atmosphere that encourages extremists to commit more violence. The government aims to expedite the approval of these tightening measures through ongoing legislative processes, allowing for expulsion without the prerequisite of a criminal conviction, with a new focus on 'highly concerning cases of expulsion.' While some critics express concerns about potential abuse of the law, the government emphasizes the importance of protecting those persecuted while swiftly removing individuals who mock liberal order by promoting terrorism.
