*Human rights defenders sue German parliament over anti-BDS resolution.*

The resolution equates boycotting Israeli companies with boycotting Jews — in effect equating criticism of Israel's occupation practices with antisemitism.

The Israeli government pushes to establish that those two are the same, as a weapon against those who criticize the crimes of the occupation. Meanwhile, its leaders are friends with people who really are antisemitic.

I support the existence of Israel, and I condemn antisemitism. However, Palestinians have rights too, like everyone else, and Israel must respect their rights.
