Conference of Presidents welcomes German anti-BDS resolution

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Friday welcomed the approval of the groundbreaking German resolution that describes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement as an expression of anti-Semitism reminiscent of the boycotts against Jews in the Nazi Period.

“We welcome this very significant action by the Bundestag and hope that other European countries will adopt similar measures. It is an important recognition of the true nature of the BDS movement and its supporters, which is to deny Jews the right of self-determination and Israel the right of existence,” said Arthur Stark, Chairman and Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of the Conference of Presidents.
