This is a complete lie. He was sanctioned for criticism of Israel. 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.
Europe Is Sanctioning Critics of Israel and Militarism
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
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?
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.
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 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

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.
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. There are some "lebensmittelrettung" whatsappgroups but they are first-come first-serve and usually just want to offload their stuff asap which, for people with kids this means you usually get the leftovers of what already are leftovers.
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.
