Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This was all supposedly planned before the events of October 7th, but continuing with the plan regardless of the situation in Gaza just seems like a shitty thing to do. Maybe hold off for a year, or at least a few months...?
Do they only want their hands?
Bastards.
Article is short on details. So Belgium doesn't have birthright citizenship?
No European country does (Ireland was the last country to abolish it in 2004). The question here is if Palestinians are legally stateless or not, since the law gives Belgian nationality to stateless minors.
Which seems to be what they're taking advantage of here. Palestinians currently fall under Jordan's nationality laws, which dictate that
Individuals born to a Jordanian father are automatically Jordanian nationals at birth regardless of birthplace. The status is not transferrable by descent to children of Jordanian mothers unless the fathers are stateless or their nationalities are unknown. For nationality purposes, Palestinian fathers are never recognized as stateless whether they hold citizenship of any state or not.
From my limited understanding, purely because they are the children of Palestinian refugees, Belgium can't make them stateless.
Belgium can’t make them stateless.
Don't gives states this latitude. They can do whatever the fuck they want. Laws aren't real.
Are you suggesting that Belgium may counter-rule that any adult stepping foot in their borders automatically loses Jordanian nationality, in direct opposition to the latter country's own internationally recognized laws and to the immediate detriment of Belgium?
.....Sure, that might as well happen. Nothing else makes any sense on this goddamn planet.
~~"Fuck you!" *foreign country forcibly claims you as a citizen*~~ Wait, I think I just reinvented colonization
