WHAT are we getting for our tax subsidized arts funding??Richard Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10239826441964023625noreply@blogger.comBlogger5125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601639312234106733.post-60428932603418687852011-02-16T10:27:14.540-05:002011-02-16T10:27:14.540-05:00If she is opposed to "violence and bullying&q...If she is opposed to "violence and bullying", then why do you suppose she has no criticism to offer about the over 10,000 rockets Hamas has launched into Israel? Or their commitment to Israel's destruction?<br /><br />Self-defense is an inalienable right she only seems to accord to some.<br /><br />For a group that heaps the most absurd insults and calumnies on Israel and its supporters, it is remarkable to observe how sensitive the anti-Israel bigots are when they get a mild taste of their own medicine.<br /><br />Grupenfuhrer literally translated means group leader, so it is an accurate description of her role in al-QuAIA. The ultimate result of her efforts, if successful, would provide, at least indirectly, support to Hamas resulting in the deaths of many Jews in Israel. Therefore the description is not inappropriate.Richard Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239826441964023625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601639312234106733.post-5791753115722597342011-02-16T09:12:37.288-05:002011-02-16T09:12:37.288-05:00You make a valid point regarding the same artists ...You make a valid point regarding the same artists getting all the public money year after year. That is an issue for arts funding all over the world, because the council reps become friendly with the artists and want to protect those careers that they have helped establish. It is certainly something that interested members of the public should keep a closer eye on.<br /><br />But are you suggesting that these particular individuals dont deserve funding because they oppose Israel? Arguing for more variety of voices is commendable; but arguing against the freedom to oppose immoral policies is contradictory.<br /><br />Elle Flanders doesn't oppose Israel because she is anti-Semitic, she does it because she is opposed to violence and bullying. Calling her a grupenfuhrer doesn't reflect well on you as an individual.ndeigmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01742843851179233892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601639312234106733.post-19099837516683220702010-08-10T08:46:18.619-04:002010-08-10T08:46:18.619-04:00Excellent report!
