Controversy in Germany. The union of teachers in the city of Oldenburg has signed a pro-BDS article and virulently anti-Zionist or even anti-Semitic. Members of the Bundestag condemn.

"Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing." Or "the government of Israel is a racist horrible spectacle." These are some phrases that can be found in an article in the September newsletter GEW (teachers union) in Oldenburg. The author of the text, Christoph Glanz, known for defending the positions of BDS, put under fire over the institution to which he belongs.

Members of the Social Democratic Party and member of the Greens, elected to the Bundestag were once strongly condemned the remarks and ordered the GEW to clarify its position. Thus, the Social Democratic Michaela Engelmeier "expects and demands that the GEW Oldenburg to distance and condemns all forms of anti-Semitism and the BDS."

"Pathétique"

Waiting who have the gift to irritate Efraim Zuroff. The Nazi hunter, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem, found "a pathetic teacher union, that is to say, a responsible institution in charge of the education of children of Oldenburg can recognize the Semitism when he jumps into his eyes. " He added that "the refusal to criticize someone - in this case, Christoph Glanz - oozing Semitism and lies about Israel is morally wrong practices with terrible consequences." a statement of the GEW was expected Thursday night dissociating themselves from the author of the article.
