or already here? the third reich " reischsmusikkammer" was a nazi institution to promote "Good german music",aryan music like Beethoven,wagner,bach etc and not degenerate music like "jazz or atonal music which threatened german culture. Are we already there? Who decides now in israel when a play breaks"the law" or what is allowed and what not?????? madame regev ,think twice before you become a "reichskulturkammer".

Netural Karta get no funding from Israel, neither should the Left.

My congratulations to this LADY. She is doing what no man in the same political position has ever had enough balls as to put things straight since the creation of the State of Israel.

A Jewish state acting in a totalitarian manner? How insulting! A people which has known oppression for centuries is surely immune from authoritarian tendencies. George Orwell was not so sanguine in his observance of the corruptive nature of power where, without vigilance, it doesn't take long for the oppressed to become indistinguishable from their former oppressors.

seems to be a tad limited in her grasp of culture and its history.

By it's very nature this bill is anti-democratic and anti-Jewish May we the citizens of Israel then bring Minister of Culture Ms. Regev up on charges of treason?

Very well let's start to cut founds to the bearded local talebans who refuse to talk to women, who throw stones on soldiers who, incite violence against sexual minorities, who deny the validity of State Laws, in a few words those who spread "institutionalized violations of the law".

Who is to decide what is permissible and what is not?

Regev has struck again with another wonderful bill, which would deny funding to Israel's enemies. It is way past time to stop the insanity of Israeli funding and supporting our foes. This bill is a big step in the right direction.

I am not afraid of the Culture Minister, what I'm afraid of is the culture of the Minister of Culture

They can all freely speak all they want without taxpayer's help. Why would they want government funds anyway? It is because the taxpayer at large will not willing pay for their nonsense. Will you agree for the government to fund Nazi speech? Don't need your reply. Go to hell.

It would s not just the peron who wrote the play, or the actor who recites the words, it is the establish,nets it is said in. There are not many privately owned theatres in Israel, most are owned, or recieve funding from the state to exist Tegev will control all content in Israel, alright for you with your 1st and 2nd amendments to the constitution. For those of us who live in Israel, this is scary shit

They cannot rely on the Israeli taxpayer to subside their lies.

"culture" of leftist Judaeo-Quislings & assorted enemies from within!

Regev is trying to impose her world-view on cultural institutions by demanding they adopt her belief system or they lose funding. Not a good precedent. Not a good idea. The Government must NEVER involve itself in any way, shape or form in cultural freedom and freedom of expression. By so doing, it will mark the end of a free society.

Somehow leftists have gotten this weird idea that the government (my tax money) is a right for them to express their hatred of me at my expense. If leftists want to express their hatred of Jews, then at least make them do so out of their own pockets. I would add to the list anything that promotes the BDS fascists and those that refuse to perform in parts of the country. I do not believe that all Israelis should be forced to pay for things that are then denied the benefit because of the ideological bent of the artists. Leftists are a minority and they must not be allowed to have total control of the country just because they whine louder.

expression of "culture", be that leftist or rightist. She's just pointing out, that if you want to subvert the State, the State has every right not to aid you by providing financial support. After all, the "subversive" rock music in the '60 needed no governmental funding to thrive: we paid gladly to be part of it. So it should be with today's "revolutionaries"! There are limits to the mindless mantra of "Sacred Democracy"....: even when private individuals (fully in their right) want to commit suicide we are trying to actively prevent it from happening. So much more, when whole society/nation is risking mass suicide: someone must stop it!

she's fixed her eye on our loyalty! How long will we sit quietly while this cynical self-centered politician continues to shot in every direction as she attempts to solidify her political position? After all Minister Ms. Regev said: "They want an intifada, fine, once and for all let's have an intifada and see how it goes!" Well, while the Temple Mount is NOT on fire...since October how many families have lost loved ones? How many families now know mourning, pain, and sorrow? Minister Ms. Regev single-handedly "conquered" the Temple Mount - and yes several of the religious right wingers have realized that she cynically used them for her own political purposes -- and now our Minister of Culture Ms. Regev is all set to teach us cultural loyalty! What is her real political goal? What is the bottom line in her agenda?

as she attempts to absorb the authority of the Minister of Finance into her Ministry of Culture. So what will be? Will we end up with a triumvirate? that is will Prime Minister Netanyahu, Minister Bennett and Minister Regev will be our three leaders? And what of Minister of Justice Shaked? How can we leave her out of the ruling troika? Perhaps a ruling quartet then? Is this pleasing to PM Netanyahu?

Dear Steve, to categorize me as "typical extreme leftist liar" is an honour actually surpising. I am actually a "likud voter",at least i was.It will not happen next time. Even you should be able to see what is going here in israel ( not siver bay). A government without any political vision,a lot of talks and promises,no security,no cheaper energy,housing or costs of living. A government in which various ministers critisize their PM even though they sit with him in same goverment.A disaster in education and health and now they invite "right wing austrian party members". The government is funding and hosting "neo-nazis" For me,as likudnik this is too much and unacceptable. Maybe for you this is ok but maybe you do not see everything from silver bay what is going on in "golden jerusalem".
