German governor rejects city’s initiative to award prize to anti-Israel group Code Pink | The Jerusalem Post

Code Pink is an alleged extremist American left-wing anti-war group that promotes a boycott of the Jewish state and reportedly participated at anti-Western conference with Holocaust deniers in 2014.
The governor of the German state of Bavaria, Horst Seehofer, weighed in on the heated dispute over awarding a tolerance prize to the Israel boycott group Code Pink, saying Thursday: “For me the Bavarian-Israel friendship is–in equal measure– a mission and an obligation. That also belongs to my advocacy against anti-Semitism and intolerant statements, wherever they surface.”
