German Initiative against Censorship "Weltoffenheit"- DEBATE

In December a group of directors of reknown German culture institutions issued a public criticism of the German resolution against BDS (a boycott movement against Israel called for by Palestinians), which banned the orgainisations from inviting artists + academics supporting the movement. They saw it as blocking any dialogue or debate on the issue. It was a VERY SMALL step, but still for the situation in Germany a welcome + necessary position against a veritable witch-hunt against all pro-Palestine voices in Germany.

What is amazing in this "debate" is the crude and dishonest arguments of the "anti-Semitism Czar" of Germany, Felix Klein.

Congrats to Susan Nieman for really slamming the hypocrisy and inherent danger with this so-called pro-Zionist voices.
