Belgium’s Foreigners’ Office has instructed dozens of municipalities to strip children born in Belgium to Palestinian parents of their Belgian nationality, L’Echo reports.

      In what fucked up world does stripping a child of their nationality (of a country they were born in) make any sort of sense? Georgia is already racist, you don’t need to show up for it too.

        Well. That will teach me not to scroll before reading the article. Thought everyone was real chill about strip searching Belgian kids for some reason.

        What the fuck, by the way. What are they even trying to accomplish aside from A Racism? The kid’s parents being refugees, they still retain indefinite residency with an option for citizenship down the line.

        The child itself would be growing up there for at least a few years and could do the same once they hit adulthood. They’re still able to reunite with family like the Foreigners’ Office is complaining about.

        I could see closing a loophole for anchor babies even if I don’t entirely approve of such, but this is brazenly, solely Palestinians?
