Banks are businesses, no matter who owns them. Even stateiest state business is - as the name implies - a business. And businesses and internal rules. It's not "racist" either.
Again, be angry at whoever made BDS antisemitic, not the bank.
On a more personal note: do you really think that your childish tantrums are helping your cause? I don't even disagree with your point, but just try to explain the reasoning behind the situation and why your critic, and that of the paper here is wrong - and you call me names. Do you think that helps? Do you think, you'll be taken seriously like that? Foaming mouths don't seem very convincing, even if they do have good points .
Why are settler groups allowed to finance and collect donations without ramifications?
I also disagree with your conflation of the founder with the overall sentiments of the group.
It's not my conflation, it's the "official" conflation in Germany, I wrote that several times in this thread.
Settler groups are, as far as I know, not automatically illegal or sanctioned. If there were persons that were sanctioned, this would look different, though. Also, a newspaper is just more public. If you don't advertise that your account is used for potentially extremist reasons, you will probably be able to fly under the radar.
Spot the problem? You referred to the customer, in this case a Verein, as a business. You did that twice, and I twice corrected you that it is not a business. Now you're lecturing me on the fact that banks are businesses. Why?
I'm not conceding the point that this is "not unusual" and no political pressure was put on the bank (which you said something like you're 100% sure about, which you could not possibly know), but for the sake of argument, let's say for a moment that it is:
It still makes no sense for you to call them "professional victims" for complaining about it. Like just because this is (possibly) legal for the bank to do, and they did so because of routine compliance shit and not because of pressure, does not mean it is not a political persecution. Even this scenario, they are actual real victims of political persecution, are they not?
Also don't fucking tone police me.
There it is.
