Batsheva Dance Company’s Ohad Naharin told Army Radio, “BDS is against the occupation, something I sympathize with. I’ve always said that if protesting and boycotting my performances would improve the situation in the territories or bring a solution to the conflict, I would support the boycott myself.” There were prompt calls from some members of the public for Naharin to be stripped of all previous honors and for state funding of his work to be withdrawn. – Haaretz (Israel)
