“The German Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, has overwhelmingly approved a resolution to combat anti-Semitism.

The text calls for a ban on public funding for any group “that spreads anti-Semitism, calls into question Israel’s right to exist or calls for a boycott of Israel”.

In cases of anti-Semitic acts in schools and universities, it calls for those responsible to be excluded from classes or even expelled.

The motion received broad support from a range of political parties, including the centre-left Social Democrats, the conservative CDU-CSU, the Greens and the liberal Free Democrats.

About 100 Jewish artists and intellectuals living in Germany said in a statement the resolution would “weaken, rather than strengthen, the diversity of Jewish life in Germany by associating all Jews with the actions of the Israeli government”.”
