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.

I disagree in your theory of why.

It seems to me they're just racists who have never stopped being racist, hence why their support for Israel is anchored on it being "the Jewish Nation", or in other words they support any and all action of a specific nation because of the etnicity of the people who are the majority there and rule it, which is entirelly abour race and a dictionary definition "racial descriminiation", very much the same kind of judging and acting towards other people as in the "old days".

Humanitarians would've interiorized "Never again" as "never again should genocide be permitted to happen", but instead at least the German elites seem to have chosen for their theatre of "Never again" to the most racist interpretation possible: "never again will our race go against this other specific race, and we should treat them as a good race, not a bad race".

Their way of thinking wasn't changed, what changed was that one specific etnicity went from the list of "untermenschen" to the list of "ubermenschen".
