German cultural groups denounce anti-BDS resolution
A group of cultural groups based in Germany and Austria has denounced the anti-BDS resolution, which was introduced in the German parliament few months ago to prevent the anti-Israel movement.
The group has termed the resolution as an attempt to threaten the right to speech and expression.
The BDS movement, which is also called the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, aims to force Israel to change its attitude towards the people of Palestine.
The development has opened up a serious discussion around the matter.
The BDS movement is very active at this junction. The movement has a good support base in Germany and Austria.
The movement requests the countries to boycott, divest and sanction Israel until the Middle East country respects its obligation towards Palestine.
The German government has not yet commended on the issue. It is less likely to relook the resolution it has presented. It is important to address the anti-BDS resolution. It is unfortunate that the German government has passed the law.
