The EJC is deeply alarmed by the launch of Barcelonaz, an online interactive map that identifies Jewish-owned businesses, Israeli companies, and other entities alleged to have links to Israel in Catalonia.The project is hosted on the French platform GoGoCarto and invites users to submit additional targets and label establishments as “Zionist,” without distinguishing between Israeli companies, local Jewish businesses, schools or multinational corporations operating in Israel.The name of the project itself is deeply alarming. The use of “NAZ” appears to deliberately associate Jews and Israelis with Nazism, a form of antisemitic inversion that trivializes Nazi crimes while demonizing Jewish identity.History has shown that the identification and targeting of Jews and Jewish life in public spaces can have dangerous consequences. It can facilitate real-world attacks by making Jewish life easier to identify and target, while also fueling harassment, intimidation, vandalism and boycott pressure. Recent experience internationally has shown how quickly online targeting and doxxing campaigns can translate into threats and physical insecurity for Jewish communities.The President of the Jewish community of Barcelona Raymon Forado said: “The Bondi attack began this way: by identifying and normalizing the targeting of Jews, Jewish institutions, and multinational corporations operating in Israel. We are one step away from what happened in Australia, where 15 people were killed simply for being Jewish. If action is not taken now, our political leaders will bear responsibility.”The EJC stands with the Jewish community of Barcelona and supports the complaints already filed. We urge GoGoCarto, the Government of Catalonia and the City Council of Barcelona to act with urgency, to remove content that enables discrimination and incitement and to ensure accountability under applicable law
