Yossi Schwartz ISL (RCIT section in Israel/ Occupied Palestine), 21.12.024
These days, the Liberal Zionists and the Zionist liberal culture are under attack in Israel as traitors to the Zionist state. The reformists like Hadash are under hefty attack. Their Member of Parliament Kasif was removed from the Zionist parliament, and the same is waiting for Ayman Odeh. After an attempt to deny the Tel Aviv Cinematheque budget, Minister of Culture and
Sports Miki Zohar continues to another cultural institution, and this time, the Bat Sheva Dance Company. Zohar appealed to Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich with a request to deny budgets from the Bat Sheva dance troupe after, according to him, he received several inquiries about the final part of the troupe’s new dance performance, in which Palestinian flags are hoisted.
At the end of the show, the Palestinian flag is hoisted next to the Israeli flag and the flags of many other countries in the world. In the final part of the show, the dancers wave the flags and dance with them as part of the message, while one of the flags is the pride flag. According to the complaints, the spectator’s feelings were hurt at the show. For that reason, Minister Zohar contacted Finance Minister Smotrich and asked him to examine the denial of the budget of the band supported by the Ministry of Culture and Sports since the Ministry of Finance has the power to deny budgets from institutions supported by the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
The dancers were fortunate not to be beaten up. The propaganda that Israel is a liberal democracy is failing, and its true nature is exposed to millions around the world. Israel has never been a liberal democracy but an ethnocracy, and now even the liberal democracy for the Jews only is dying.
Down with the Zionist monster!
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
