Jewish Artist Targeted in Germany Over Pro-Palestine Stance – Hamburg’s Antisemitism Commissioner disparaged photographer Adam Broomberg for his support of the BDS movement. | Hyperallergic

Hamburg’s first antisemitism commissioner Stefan Hensel, who was appointed in July 2021 for a three-year term, has repeatedly criticized artist Adam Broomberg over his involvement in what he calls the “antisemitic” Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. Broomberg, a Jewish photographer who was raised in South Africa and now lives in Berlin, has frequently denounced what he characterizes as Israeli’s apartheid system in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
