If you're caught protesting about the genocide in Palestine, are you a model citizen or a terrorist organization support? Who gets to decide?

Couple of other examples: here in France it is a crime to harm home invaders, if you do you will be charged and will have to prove it was self-defense. Smoking weed is also a crime. IMO people convicted for these crimes don't deserve to have their life ruined any further.

I agree that violent, repeat offenders should be deported. But if they're criminals their citizenship application would be rejected anyway.
