Two weeks after Hamas's brutal attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, Berlin's senate for culture commissioned a legal report to establish whether a cultural centre in the German capital's Neukolln district had violated the city's antisemitism prevention guidelines.
No antisemitic activity on behalf of Oyoun [] is identifiable, it concluded. It was a finding that made the senate's next move particularly surprising: despite the report's conclusion, it announced it would be withdrawing the centre's funding of roughly 1m a year.
