Following Michael Blume's remarks blaming Israeli Jews for anti-Semitism in Europe, Sacha Stawski, a Frankfurt-based German Jew affiliated with the media watchdog NGO Honestly Concerned, has called for Blume's resignation from his role as the anti-Semitism commissioner of Baden-Württemberg.

Stawski posted on Facebook, asserting, "It is now evident that this man is not just unfit for his position - an opinion we've held for some time - but is actively fostering anti-Semitism... This can no longer be overlooked or dismissed, as he has consistently done. This isn't about 'trolls,' as he often labels critics; it's about his unacceptable views on Israel and its government."
