The director of the Jewish Museum Berlin was forced to resign last week following pressure from Israel and its lobby.
The Central Council of Jews in Germany criticized the museum for tweeting an article on the 240 Jewish and Israeli scholars who signed a petition opposing the German parliament’s recent motion condemning the BDS – boycott, divest and sanctions – movement for Palestinian rights.

“We reject this motion, which is based on the false allegation that BDS as such equals anti-Semitism,” the petition reads.
