On 25 March 2024, our account with the Berliner Sparkasse was frozen with immediate effect. In a letter, the Sparkasse informed us that it had taken this step as a precautionary measure and that we should submit numerous internal documents by 5 April to update our customer data. As a public corporation, the bank is bound by public law and may therefore not arbitrarily freeze accounts without providing an explanation, which it did not. It is also highly unusual that the required documents include a list of our members with their full names and addresses.

Germany never underwent denazification, and now they're weaponizing anti-holocaust denial laws to protect the genocide in Gaza. If you so much as suggest that what Zionists are doing is an extension of the holocaust, or that the nazis supported Zionism, you're an anti-semite. Meanwhile Zionists are mass murdering Jewish people and Palestinians alike with impunity, both of which are Semites, and you're not allowed even allowed to acknowledge that fact. A lot of the loudest voices are Jewish activists and they're just throwing the book at them.

EDIT: and conflating Judaism and Zionism is also anti-semitism, and if i'm not mistaken German law literally says the opposite.
