Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev seeks to prevent
government-funded theater from holding play about life of terrorism
supporter.
Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev sent a letter to Finance Minister
Moshe Kahlon on Tuesday, asking him to exercise his authority and
examine the complaints that came to her office regarding the
presentation of the play "I, Dareen Tatour."
The play praises the poet Dareen Tatour, who was convicted of supporting
terrorism and incitement to violence and was sentenced to jail. The
show is scheduled to be performed on the stage of the Tmuna Theater,
which is supported by the Culture and Sports Minister.
Following the letter, Minister Regev said, "I will work with all my
might to prevent the performance of the show, "I, Dareen Tatour" in the
Tmuna Theater, which is supported by the Ministry of Culture."
"The time has come for artists and creators to stop making things "and
to begin to understand who is an enemy and who loves, what freedom of
expression is and when a black flag is raised above it.
"The Law of Loyalty in Culture, which I agreed on with Finance Minister
Moshe Kahlon and which I intend to approve as soon as possible at the
beginning of the Knesset session, will constitute a definitive answer to
the horror and contempt scenes that seek a place on our public stage,"
said Regev. "Dareen Tatour, Walid Daka and their ilk are not the heroes
of our culture. They are Persona Non Greta from the public stage in
Israel."
