Germany's Bundestag adopted on Friday a motion on "resisting the BDS movement," defining the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement as anti-Semitic, marking the first time a major European parliament recognizes the movement as such. The German government is urged not to support projects calling for a boycott of Israel or that actively support the BDS movement.
