A pro-Palestine Jewish activist group has had its bank account frozen in Germany for the second time in seven years, after the bank requested a full list of its members’ details in what experts believe is a breach of German law. The group suspects the move was triggered by its involvement in a forthcoming pro-Palestine conference that has attracted intense scorn from the German mainstream.
“Germany” = a German bank
“seizing money” = temporarily frozen bank account until a legal dispute is settled
I didn’t find this term in the text (ctrl+f). Why do you have it in quotes?
Apart from that nowadays if a bank freezes a person’s account, it’s really hard to live/survive in many places in this world and Germany is one of them. Unless you use crypto, and not everybody does.
Banks often freeze accounts in order to follow governmental policies, often of protesters. Meaning, one way or another this move is backed by the government.
It’s right there in the headline
Oh the title. I read the article after a sneak-pick at the comment section and yours made me wonder to the point I did the ctr+f thingy.
Well, the title has a quite different quote and that’s what makes all the difference due to the historic reference. I think if you don’t like the title, you should hate the article because of what it is describing in relation to what is happening in Germany to Jewish people, and not about how this
articletitle is written.Do you deny that Jewish people suffer again on German ground, due to German policies using the argument of defending zionism?
Do you deny that zionism is historically related to fascism?
[edit: oops I thought I was replying to @Tarte and not @rimjob_rainer. Well the questions are for both of you or anyone who cares to answer them. Just to note that suffering is a spectrum. I am not claiming that Genocide is happening again in Germany, but people being targeted to the point of having their bank accounts frozen is a punitive measure to make people suffer]
I only wanted to point out that it’s written in the headline. I have no opinion for myself because the topic is too complex and convoluted and I don’t know enough to take part in the discussion. I don’t deny anything you’ve written but I also can’t confirm.
If you feel like you can take a look at Jewish Voice for Peace they are the once targeted as antisemitic due to the fact they are anti-zionist. It’s not complicated, it is portrayed this way.
