More than 20 acts have boycotted this year's Sydney Festival because of the board's decision to accept a $20,000 donation from the Israeli embassy to stage a dance performance.
Liberal MP Dave Sharma says the acts boycotting the Sydney Festival have found themselves in “odd company” after Hamas released a statement in support of the boycott.
More than 30 acts have distanced themselves from Sydney Festival in response to an organised boycott campaign, protesting the festival’s decision to accept $20,000 in funding from Israel’s Australian embassy to support Sydney Dance Company’s production of Decadance, by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin.
This is just my opinion.
