Doing their best to imitate their real masters. Imagine ANY of this being done to fight the very real fascism. Politicians might talk a big game but the actions speak for themselves

Look how they caved in and licking boots of the Trump. The greens who voted against MERCOSUR deal fully supported the US deal. They are more like green washing party than green party and then we have genocide cheer leader Annalena. Nazi just like her grand parents.
For context, no the Sanctions have nothing to do with Palestine.
Hi is sanctioned because of connections to Russia:
Hüseyin Doğru is the founder and representative of AFA Medya A.Ş. which is a media company based in Istanbul. AFA Medya A.Ş. operates “RED”, which comprises a number of media platforms, and which has close financial and organisational connections with Russian state propaganda entities and actors

I don't trust European governments considering their support for Israel, but even if that were true, does that give them the right to punish young children?
They blocked his wife's bank account, I assume she's not a young child.
They have young children
Sure, but they are not going to starve as written in the title. That's just a blunt lie. They live in Germany and there are plenty of support options.
If the parents commit a crime related to their bank account, it's reasonable to block these accounts.
The more relevant question is whether anything illegal has happened through his wive's bank account. If so, block it. If not, don't you dare block it. Simple as that
there lre plenty support options
name them
Caritas, Diakonie, churches, several others. You must be trolling at this point
no, i'm german with a disabled wife andstwo kids. I know you are talking out your ass because those institutions don't offer services to poor people in terms off food assistance. The only notable such service is "die tafel" but good luck finding one that isn't booked up for the next two years.
Caritas und Diakonie geben bei Bedarf z.B. Einkaufsgutscheine raus, weiß ich aus erster Hand. Das ist doch Quatsch, wir können doch nicht behaupten hier verhungern Kinder weil ein Konto gesperrt wird.
Du kannst doch nicht ne vierköpfige Familie mit Diakonie und Caritasgutscheinen ernähren? Erstmal ist dies eine außerordentliche Situation da die Armut dieser Familie gezielt durch EU Sanktionen herbeigeführt wurde, es also rechtlich alles mögliche unklar ist, einschliesslich ob solche Hilfe nicht selbst schon EU Sanktionen verletzt.
Dann sind diese Einkaufsgutscheine in der Regel nur als temporäre Maßnahmen gedacht, von persönlichen Spenden finanziert, das ist doch keine Lebensgrundlage während man gegen eine internationale Regierung kämpfen muss??
Ausserdem gibts es Kinderhunger und Armut in Deutschland, Leute die sterben weil sie keine Krankenversicherung haben etc. Meine Mutter bspw. hatte ein halbverhungerten Säugling in der Beratung weil dessen Mutter nicht genug zu essen hatte und deswegen keine Milch produzieren konnte. Gerade unter Leuten die am Rande der Legalität leben müssen (wie im Fall Dogru hier) ist die Not teilweise immens. Unser Sozialsystem ist längst nicht so robust wie die meisten Leute die nicht darauf angewiesen sind denken. Sie hat nur sehr gute PR und Kritik daran kommt bei den arroganten Deutschen (aber ich wiederhol mich ja) immer sehr sehr übel an als ob man das ganze Land mit den VSA oder schlimmer noch nicht-NATO Ländern vergleichen könne....

You seem to assume that she did something illegal based on the account being blocked, but that doesn't always work like that
Did you even read my comment? This is precisely the point. If something illegal happened through her bank account, that would be the only viable reason to block it. If not, there is no justification to block it.
The account blocking has taken a form recently that I condemn, I don't think this should be used in the political discourse.
From the information I could gather about the case, I can't say what happened through her account. There are some vague statements from the Bundespressekonferenz that make it seem like the government/EU takes that position. The family and lawyer claim the opposite.
In this case, I would tend to side with the family until we know more. My point was just that there is quite a stretch between blocking a bank account and starving children.
I read it and didn't get this even from re-reading now
The account blocking has taken a form recently that I condemn
It looks like we were agreeing, but it was hard to say

How far-reaching the consequences of the sanctions regime have become, according to the defense, was made clear by lawyer Gorski in an interview with Berliner Zeitung. The lawyer said that his client is not permitted to receive monetary donations and is also not allowed to accept food assistance. When asked whether a neighbor could already make himself liable to prosecution by bringing Doğru bread, Gorski answered: “Yes, the neighbor would theoretically make himself liable to prosecution.”

No it does not. But I am at least skeptical.
To my understanding, they have now locked all accounts where he, as the sanctioned, has access to.
According to the agencies:
- immediately after he was added to the Sanctions list, he transferred a large amount of money on those accounts
- an insurance policy for his car is paid from those accounts
So technically it is not the account of its wife, it's their shared account.
Also, he is allowed around 500€ months for his basic needs. Essentially (if the claims of the agencies are true), he tried to bypass Sanctions and those consequences are harsh.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like how those sanctions essentialy violate human rights.
But I would like if we separate facts from propaganda.
Does a mother become immune from judicial persecution just because she has a child? Kids aren't a get-out-of-jail-free card.
What did the mom do, other than being married to a guy convicted of antizionism?
We don't know, as far as I know it hasn't been publicized.
Isn't that deeply disturbing to you? They can enact collective punishment like that and don't even need to publicize why? This is what they keep telling us to slander the democratic peoples republic of korea

Neither is molesting them enough for a "get into jail free card" or at least a "get impeached free card", seeing all the people on The List.
They are using the paragraph they invented to silence journalists presenting an anti-ukraine perspective but the man has been reporting on the palestinian genocide and not ukraine afaik.
Indeed. https://x.com/i/status/2038203613567144354
Doğru rejects the allegations. He confirms that he previously worked for Redfish, a format financed by the Russian broadcaster Ruptly. In the course of the Russian attack on Ukraine, however, he ended the employment relationship.
“I have always criticized that it was an invasion of Ukraine,” he said already in November 2025 in a conversation with Berliner Zeitung.
This is a complete lie. He was sanctioned for criticism of Palestine. He did some reporting for a Russian outlet many many years ago far before the war against Ukraine. He even spoke out against Russia at its start of the war against Ukraine.
There are mechanisms in EU sanctions law that are supposed to ensure a minimum subsistence level, even when someone’s bank accounts are frozen. In theory, this means basic needs like rent, food, and essential expenses should remain covered through officially approved exemptions.
However, in practice every single payment usually requires explicit authorization from the competent authority, and that process can take a long time. Multiple agencies are involved, banks are extremely cautious, and the administrative workflow is slow. The resulting hardship isn’t an intentional attempt to starve anyone, but a structural problem in how these procedures are implemented.
So it’s worth keeping a cool head: the intention isn’t malicious, but the execution can still put people in very difficult situations before the exemptions finally come through.
Especially in Germany authorities are known to take a long time for virtually anything you need to apply for. This is a bureaucracy hell.
the intention isn’t malicious, but
Yes it fucking is.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Germany is a bureaucratic hell because the powers that be choose to keep it that way.
The EU, like the US, has designed a system where the authorities can inflict horrendous suffering on innocent people by exploiting their discretion and abusing the gap between arrest (or sanction) and court hearing to inflict untold misery.
Police in the West can arrest, sanction, confine, physically and mentally abuse, their political opponents on a whim. They can arrest anyone they want as a punishment for anything or nothing. And when the courts ultimately say "this arrest was not lawful, release this prisoner" it doesn't fucking matter because the prisoner has suffered so horribly that only the strongest of them will dare to do anything against the government again.
But the victim was released. Eventually. And that makes all the beatings and rapes and starvation okay, right?
Fucking fedditors again boil germany
The 'f' comes from 'Fuhrer'
You mean like how weapons exports to Israel stopped because of all of those laws and restrictions? Oh that never happened.
When they can take money from the weakest they do it. When Papa Netanjahu does something illegal (literal genocide and blocking humanitarian aid) they stay silent.
Pro tip: banning all discourse does not make your post better.
Nazi propaganda isn't discourse. You don't get to lie to justify starvation of children and genocide. Ironic coming from feddit.org
Actually, banning all neonazis does make a post better
It would be nice to see some objective information of what even happened there. There is next to no information in the image above, other than some German account closure by Germany due to § 3 Abs. Sanktionsdurchführungsgesetz.
Surely there is more information in that official paper than just that first page.
I couldn't tell you what his wife did to be sanctioned so there's not much info on that besides the tweet.
On the journalist himself there's this article showing how the EU along with Zionist ran German media sanctioned him for spreading "Hamas propaganda".
EU sanctions German journalist in shocking first over Gaza reporting
Last July, media platform "red" was sanctioned by the EU for being closely affiliated with Russia's state media RT and systematically being used by Russia to manipulate informations and destabilise.
These sanctions included key personnel of that platform. Dogru was the chief editor of red media.
Source: Press conference of the German Foreign Office on that matter [German]
He's a German citizen that was accused of "Russian misinformation", which these days means any criticism of EU actions:
Doğru has consistently opposed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stance he reiterated in public statements. However, his critical reporting on German domestic policies, particularly the suppression of Palestine solidarity actions, drew scrutiny from mainstream media and officials.
The EU rationale links these actions to Russian interests: By amplifying narratives critical of Western policies (e.g., support for Israel or repression of protests), Doğru is said to indirectly aid Moscow’s efforts to sow division in Europe.
Maybe the EU shouldn't be doing the things that are sowing division?? Maybe the criticism is grassroots and not funded by Ruzzia??
So his accounts were frozen in retaliation, and now his wife's accounts were also frozen due to a shared car insurance. It is the typical silencing of critics that Francesca Albanese is also subjected to.
NAZI GERMANY, you mean.
Which isn't exactly surprising,
Sadly this is EU wide sanctions. The entire EU apparatus has come together to sanction people who speak up against genocide.
That said, the campaign against the journalist was very much done by Zionist propaganda outlets and politicians in Nazi Germany in a coordinated Nazi blood libel campaign.
Haven't seen a single instance of that which you describe in Portugal, were I live, and the country is currently ruled by the mainstream rightwing party which is basically the party formed by ex-Fascists after the Revolution in 74 which overthrew the Fascist Dictatorship and are definitelly pro-Israel (though most of the population is not, possibly because only a small part of the Press pushes pro-American Propaganda)
It would be a massive scandal around here if they tried to do shit like that - plenty of people who lived under Fascism are still alive and remember the censorship and state police.
Next door Spain too, isn't doing that kind of shit as far as I know, mainly because the government there is center-left (if it was the "center"-right party, I bet they would try it, since they seem to be closer to their Fascist roots than the one in Portugal).
Also haven't heard anything like that from The Netherlands (were I used to live).
Absolutelly, there are several of countries in Europe doing that kind of shit, most notably Germany and Britain, but as far as I can tell they're a minority rather than a majority.
Whilst I don't doubt the likes of Germany (and their agent who heads the EU Commission) would push for that kind of shit at an EU level (and plenty of country would give it lip service given Germany's importance in the EU), A LOT of countries in Europe have societies which are against that censorship because of their values (Scandinavia, The Netherlands) or because they've lived under Fascism not that long ago and many people react badly against anything with a wiff of secret police and censorship (Portugal, Spain, probably Greece).
Also the EU Parliament is properly independent and, being way more representative than the EU Comission (thanks to actually being elected, via Proportional Vote no less) shies away from actual repressive measures like that - vaguelly worded condemning motions, sure, actually censoring people, not really.
I can give you this one off the top of my head, and there's probably many more. There is plenty of EU wide repression against the voices of Palestinians but they barely get any media attention.
Netherlands to expel Palestinian journalist, raising fears of handover to Israelis
A larger article on it: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11/11/palestinian-journalist-mustafa-ayyash-to-be-extradited-to-austria
He wasn't expelled, he was arrested under a European Arrest Warrant issued by Austria, something that they could only do because the "crimes" he was accused of were commited in Austria.
Once in Austria he ended up being released by the Austrian authorities, so I guess the Austrian court system still works as it's supposed to in a Democratic country.
From the side of The Netherlands that was bureaucracy doing it's thing and obbeying that legal mechanism rather than that country practicing censorship.
But yeah, I've been quite worried about the European Arrest Warrant system being abused exactly because countries that are sliding into Fascism can use it to project their politics abroad, as well as other kinds of things which had influence in this situation such as the US having put Gaza Now in its list of terrorist organisations and Europe going along with it.
That's not Europe as a whole repressing the voices of Palestinians, or even The Netherlands doing it, it's a broader problem of how certain systems in the EU can be abused by Fascists if they take over in certain European countries as well as the excessive influence of America (which is way more rightwing) in Europe.
As for what the authorities in Austria did, frankly that's not surprising or representative of most of the EU: Austria has had the far-right in power longer than everybody else in Europe and they're pretty much a worse version of Germany, it's just that, because they're much smaller, it's not generally talked about.
It's quite a stretch to go from this to saying that Europe is NAZI.
From the side of The Netherlands that was bureaucracy doing it’s thing and obbeying that legal mechanism
