Courtesy of Miki Zohar Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar has escalated his campaign against the country’s film industry with a new Likud primary spot that mocks Israeli filmmakers as anti-Israel profiteers and vows to redirect public funding away from films he says “blacken” Israeli soldiers.
Zohar, a senior member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, released the video as part of his campaign ahead of the party’s primaries, just days before the start of the Jerusalem Film Festival which opens Thursday with Moshe Rosenthal’s family drama “Tell Me Everything.”
