Israel must surely be desperate to resort to such ‘supporters.’<br /><br />As the anti-Zionist protesters said loud and clear, in a message which obviously rang true for many of the audience, “For the same reasons New Zealanders called for the end to rugby links with apartheid South Africa, we are calling for the cutting of ties with apartheid Israel.”<br /><br />They also had a message for those who make the spurious claim that dance has no place in politics. Quoting University of Auckland Dance Studies Associate Professor Nicholas Rowe:<br /><br />“If Ohad Naharin and Batsheva Dance Company would have the courage to refuse to offer their bodies up to the Israeli Defense Forces for annual military service, if they would have the courage to publicly condemn the illegal military occupation of the West Bank and the ongoing theft of land and property by the government that pays them to tour in the name of Israel, if they would have the courage to publicly state that they do not judge people by their religion or ethnicity and so would welcome the return of non-Jewish refugees back to their homes inside what is now Israel, then they would be touring to New Zealand as dance artists, and not just as political puppets.”<br /><br />Israel, by its own efforts, has booked its ticket in history alongside the South African apartheid regime. A Rent-a-Crowd of slogan-shouters hurling personal abuse is not going to save it from admission to a similar fateful performance.'<br />http://todayingaza.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/israeli-rent-a-crowd-in-nz-evidence-of-bds-success/<br />(btw, the Arabic name Huda means "right guidance"!)Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-91783281381656973882014-02-25T00:15:17.526+11:002014-02-25T00:15:17.526+11:00Hahaha the Israeli side is really packed, the hate...Hahaha the Israeli side is really packed, the haters a bout third that number.
