"The Bundestag reaffirms its decision to ensure that no organizations or projects that spread antisemitism, question Israel's right to exist, call for a boycott of Israel or actively support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement receive financial support."
"Amnesty International Germany said that while it welcomes the aim of introducing measures to combat antisemitism and racism and to protect Jewish life, in its view the resolution not only fails to achieve this goal, but also raises fears of serious violations of fundamental human rights and legal uncertainty."
"Despite vehement opposition to parts of the resolution from legal experts, civil society groups and prominent Jewish intellectuals, the resolution is set to be voted on, reflecting a contentious political atmosphere around the issue of antisemitism in Germany."
"The controversy over the resolution largely centers on the intent to make public grants for culture and science projects dependent on adherence to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of antisemitism."
