Israel restricts who can get cultural funding

Ted Belman

According to Culture Minister Miri Regev list of criteria published Wednesday night by Channel 2, cultural institutions who endorse the following will not receive state funding:

– denying the existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state;
– inciting racial hatred, violence and terrorism;
– supporting act of terrorism against Israel;
– marking Independence Day as a day of mourning;
– acting against an Israeli symbol;
– boycotting or calling for a boycott of Israel.

“I make a clear distinction between freedom of expression and freedom of funding,” the Culture Minister declared. “Freedom of expression is a supreme value in Israel. But, the state has the right not to finance factors that undermine its Jewish and democratic character.”

  1. At Temple Mount gate, banned Muslim activists vent their anger
    ‘We don’t go to their synagogue, why do they come to al-Aqsa?’ asks a member of Murabitat, a women’s group formed to defy Jewish aspirations on Temple Mount

    Its about time….. first rivlin tries to ingratiate himself with the settlers after his incompetent leadership of jumping on a settler lynchmob bandwagon AND NOW BB is finally shamed into doing something about the disgusting honor killers who abuse Jews at the Mount. Perhaps the two of them were listening to me and were shamed into action 🙂 Next they must open 100% YS to Jewish settlement in order to repent for the damage of past sins.
    at the mOunt is not enough, they still allow the filth to congregate and abuse others… the perps should be beaten and forcefully driven with their entire families to the border with no possiblity of return. It is unconscienable to accept this filthy and despicable muslim behavior of abusing Jews: alll these muslim anti semites must be PERMANANTLY BANNED from an jewish holy sites and all anti semitic imams must be deported. there should be zero tolerance for any muslim abuse of Jews in a land finally owned by Jews. there can be no equality and no argument, and anti semitism must bring down the full punishment. Kick them and their filthy families out of Israel.
    This gaggle of female dogs have yet to be properly punished for their filthy crimes and are still allowed to roam free at the gate. I am afraid that BB will let these filthy dogs back in.
