Mayor of German City Opposes Tolerance Award to Code Pink Following Simon Wiesenthal Center Protest

BREAKING NEWS

The Simon Wiesenthal Center commended the decision by the Mayor of the German city of Bayreuth, Brigitte Merk-Erbe, who has gone on record as opposing her city’s scheduledbestowal of its Wilhelmine-von-Bayreuth Prize to the Code Pink organization this April. The award is given by the city of Bayreuth “for tolerance and humanity in culturaldiversity.”

“Code Pink’s virulent activities against Israel — home to the world’s largest Jewish community — should disqualify them from any honors, especially those from Germany,” chargedRabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the leading Jewish Human Rights NGO.

Top leaders of Code Pink participated in an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel conference convened by the serial human rights deniers in Tehran.

“How could anyone bestow honors upon an organization whose leaders attended such a conference in Tehran, run by a regime that executes children, hangs gays, and imprisonsinnocent clergy?” Cooper added.

Further, the award committee had only to view this YouTube video to hear the public chantingby Code Pink members outside a major Jewish conference.

“Hitler, yahoo, you will see, Palestine will be free!” and “Judaism Yes, Zionism No, the State of Israel has to go!” Such genocidal chants alone should disqualify Code Pink fromany German “tolerance award”.

“Third, was the desecration of Judaism’s holiest religious site — The Kotel, (The Western Wall) by Code Pink to promote the anti-Semitic, extreme anti-Peace, BDS (Boycott,Divestment, Sanctions) movement (see photo below).”



“The Mayor of Bayreuth has responded appropriately to the concerns of our community and we hope that the city council will vote to withdraw its honor of those who validatedeniers of the Nazi Holocaust and who seek the destruction of the Jewish democratic state of Israel,” Rabbi Cooper concluded.
