The [pro-Palestine Jewish activist] group suspects the move was triggered by its involvement in a forthcoming pro-Palestine conference that has attracted intense scorn from the German mainstream.

Even the group itself claims the account freeze (which is, btw, not the same as 'seizing money') was due to its pro-Palestine stance (and not bc the group is Jewish).

Bank accounts shouldn't be frozen bc and organisation is Jewish nor bc its pro-Palestine, but what the title suggests is obviously completely different from the article's content.

I'd also agree with what is already said in this thread. There's a lot wrong with the way how this story is framed.
