A fairly large group of artists – more than 100 – have pledged a cultural boycott of Israel. They cite the Jewish war crimes in the Gaza Strip this past summer as one of the main reasons for their boycott of the Jews.
Dr. Hiram Kikebergstein from the World Jewish Congress declared that these artists were anti-Semites who want to put 60 trillion Jews in gas chambers. Kikebergstein went on to say that he believes this boycott is part of an on-going “Nazi” conspiracy to turn 60 trillion Jews into bars of dish soap.
They include director Mike Leigh, musicians Brian Eno, Richard Ashcroft and Roger Waters, poet Liz Lochhead and director Ken Loach.Writing in The Guardian, they said that they were joining more than 600 other fellow artists, in “not engag[ing] in business-as-usual cultural relations with Israel”.
They explained:
We will accept neither professional invitations to Israel, nor funding, from any institutions linked to its government.They said that the recent unrest in Gaza has contributed to their decision.
“2014,” says the Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem, was “one of the cruellest and deadliest in the history of the occupation.” The Palestinian catastrophe goes on.
