I did not defend it, I merely corrected the headline. There isn’t a grand order to seize Jewish money in Germany like the headline suggests, this is a singular problem (yes, it is a problem) and it should be reported as one. This whole issue will realistically come out in two ways: either some Sparkasse employee fucked up (accidentally or maliciously) or the organization fucked up their paperwork and the bank did a standard procedure. Either way, it will come out and it will be resolved.

Is that really less probable than Scholz, Faeser or any other relevant politician calling some bank to lock a single bank account of a single pro-palestine organization?

It will be "solved", but the case is time sensitive because they need the money to support a pro-Palestinian conference in April.

And they collected donations for that purpose. So them and me suspect the bank to use that purpose as pretext to freeze the money.

And of course nobody is doing that to them out of Antisemitism. They’re being accused of being Antisemites on the cause of being pro-Palestinian.

Our anti-Antisemitism is just pro-Israelism. An ideology which promotes and supports Antisemitism.

And using that ideology to harass Jews looks like an extra perfidious Antisemitism to me.
