Barcelona 'Barcelonaz' Map Targeting Jewish and Israeli-Linked Sites Removed After Complaints

Calls for legal action are mounting from Jewish as well as anti-racism organizations.

Overview

  • The interactive project listed more than 150 businesses, schools and cultural organizations in Catalonia as Zionist or linked to Jews and Israel.
  • The French-hosted platform GoGoCart removed the map by Friday after petitions from Movimiento contra la Intolerancia and the Combat Antisemitism Movement.
  • The European Jewish Congress, the World Jewish Congress and local community leaders condemned the mapping as dangerous public identification of Jews.
  • Movimiento contra la Intolerancia said it filed a complaint alleging incitement and discrimination, while authorities have not announced any criminal probe.
  • The creators, who described themselves online as journalists, academics and students, have not responded publicly as advocacy groups pursue accountability.
