Israeli shows to face boycott in Scotland
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn Scotland, a dance performance by an Israeli troop at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, among the biggest art gatherings in the world, has come under threat of boycott.
La Karina, by dancers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, is slated to be performed four times at the festival next month.
But protesters angered with Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, led by the Gaza Emergency Co-ordinating Committee, plan to boycott and protest the performances, The Herald Scotland reports.
Previously, protesters said they would oppose the performance of hip-hopera The City, by the Incubator Theater of Israel, on July 30.
The festival is uncurated and open to all performers, organizers tell the newspaper.
