Jews in Britain Thank Tricycle Theatre For Refusing to Accept Israeli Sponsorship

Jews in Britain Against Genocide wrote the following letter to the artistic director of the Tricycle Theater thanking the Tricycle for refusing to host a film festival funded in part by the Israeli government. The letter expresses outrage at false accusations of anti-Semitism leveled at the Tricycle and condemns Israel's use of culture to promote its global image as a way of maintaining impunity in its murderous violence against and disposession of Palestinians.

Casi trescientos de judíos supervivientes y descendientes de supervivientes del Genocidio Nazi condenan la masacre de palestinos

Casi trescientos de supervivientes y descendientes de supervivientes del genocidio Nazi firman un manifiesto titulado ¡Nunca más para cualquiera! condenando la masacre de Gaza y reclaman el fin del genocidio del pueblo palestino. En la carta también denuncian el uso fraudulento de sus historias y biografías para promover la deshumanización de los palestinos tal como hacen Elie Wiesel junto a otros autores en recientes artículos (Ver http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/liberal-guardianprint-pro-genocide-ad), aparecidos en The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post y The Guardian. Por favor done para ayudar a poner esta carta en el New York Times.

Divestment Win! London Theater Refuses to Host Festival Sponsored by Israel Embassy

Last November, IJAN and Israeli & Irish supporters had two lively and noisy protests of the Tricycle when they hosted the Israeli-sponsored UK Jewish Film Festival (UKJFF) last year (2 & 13 November 2013). The protest was organized as part of BDS (the effort for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel), and targeted the film festival because it is co-sponsored by the Israeli embassy. Now the Tricycle has refused to host the film festival citing the continued sponsorship of the embassy.
