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.

      Independent lawyer Nadija Samour said that this was an unusual request not usually required by the bank, and was “beyond legal.”

      The lawyer is saying illegal without saying illegal. Saying “beyond legal” gives her some protection if a judge does make a ruling that it is not illegal.
