    From the article:

    In 2019, the BDS movement—which, according to its website, “works to end international support for Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law”—was deemed antisemitic by the German Bundestag in a non-legally binding resolution. But last year, a Bundestag-commissioned report found that applying this “violates freedom of opinion” and is only applicable to a cultural institute if it’s a “threat to the legal interests of others.” In January 2022, a landmark case saw a federal court in Munich label an anti-BDS policy as “unconstitutional.”
