German Jewish group says news article 'fuels anti-Semitism'
None
Central Council of Jews in Germany President Josef Schuster was commenting on an article Spiegel magazine published Saturday about a German parliament resolution denouncing the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement targeting Israeli occupied territories.
The Spiegel story suggests two Jewish groups, WerteInitiative and Naffo, used "aggressive lobbying methods" to get lawmakers to vote for the resolution in May.
The non-binding resolution compared the BDS campaign's economic boycott of Israel and Israeli products to campaigns in Germany against Jewish-owned businesses before the Holocaust.
