Spanish map of Jewish and ‘Zionist’ businesses, schools taken down after uproar

An online map identifying Jewish and Israeli-linked businesses in Spain has been taken down after drawing sharp criticism from Spain’s Jewish community.

The project, called “Barcelonaz,” appeared this week on the French-hosted mapping platform GoGoCart, claiming to be “a collaborative map of the Zionist economy in Barcelona.”

It listed more than 150 businesses, schools and organizations that it labeled as “Zionist.”

Numerous groups, including the Movement Against Intolerance and the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), petitioned to have the site removed, and by Friday afternoon, GoGoCart had removed it.

The site’s origins are still being investigated.

“While the website has now been taken down, investigations are ongoing, and CAM is fully mobilized to determine who is behind this initiative and ensure accountability,” CAM Director of European Affairs Shannon Seban says.
