The letter follows on from an <a href=\"http:\/\/boycottisrael.info\/content\/call-shakespeares-globe-theatre\">earlier call<\/a> by \u2018Boycott From Within\u2019, a group of Israelis who support the Palestinians\u2019 Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the letter\u2019s critics have responded in an over the top fashion, successfully missed the point. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/stage\/2012\/apr\/07\/israel-national-theatre-globe\">Howard Jacobson<\/a> reached for absurd clich\u00e9s (\u201cKafkaesque\u201d, \u201cMcCarthyism\u201d) while Simon Callow and Louise Mensch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2012\/apr\/10\/we-welcome-israel-national-theatre\">signed<\/a> a letter describing the boycott call an example of \u201cthe continued persecution of Jews\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheatre ban \u2018like Nazi book burning\u2019 say West End stars\u201d ran a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejc.com\/news\/uk-news\/66078\/theatre-ban-nazi-book-burning%E2%80%99-say-west-end-stars\">headline<\/a> in <em>The Jewish Chronicle<\/em>, whose editor Stephen Pollard <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/culture\/music\/proms\/8737692\/A-Proms-protest-with-a-whiff-of-Weimar-about-it.html\">compared<\/a> pro-Palestinian protesters at the Proms to \u201cNazi party members\u201d in \u201cWeimar Germany\u201d (as did Labour MP <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#%21\/DenisMacShane\/status\/109349398651215872\">Denis MacShane<\/a> who recently <a href=\"http:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/blogs\/ben-white\/british-mp-links-toulouse-killings-movement-boycott-israel\">linked<\/a> the murders in Toulouse to Palestine solidarity motions in UK trade unions).<\/p>\n<p>This shameless blustering ignores the specific reasons for the Habima boycott call, namely that the company performs in illegal West Bank settlements \u2013 colonies that form a key part of Israel\u2019s apartheid regime \u2013 and indeed promised Israel\u2019s Minister of Culture that it would \u201cdeal with any problems hindering such performances\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The wider context is the decision by Palestinians to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bdsmovement.net\/bdsintro#.T4VjvfluAZ8\">call for BDS<\/a> as part of their efforts to secure basic rights and freedoms. That call, endorsed by trade unions, faith groups, political factions, and civil society organisations, includes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bdsmovement.net\/activecamps\/cultural-boycott\">cultural boycott<\/a>. Groups like the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pacbi.org\/etemplate.php?id=1047\">PACBI<\/a>) play a critical role in mobilising <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pacbi.org\/etemplate.php?id=415\">support<\/a> for the Palestinian struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Culture does not operate in some special, apolitical space \u2013 just like <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.independent.co.uk\/2012\/02\/06\/lse-new-concerns-over-human-rights\/\">academic institutions<\/a> in Israel are also not removed from complicity in systematic human rights abuses. As the Habima general manager <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/articles\/0,7340,L-4170210,00.html\">put it<\/a>, the invitation by The Globe is an \u201chonourable accomplishment for the State of Israel in general\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Israeli government and advocacy groups are deliberately seeking to <a href=\"https:\/\/lliberalconspiracy.org\/2011\/09\/15\/politicising-art-from-the-middle-east-it-has-already-happened\/\">use culture<\/a> as a means of \u2018rebranding\u2019 a country increasingly linked in the pubic imagination to its crimes against the Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Israel\u2019s Foreign Ministry <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/print-edition\/news\/foreign-ministry-pr-firm-rebrand-israel-as-land-of-achievements-1.255073\">hired<\/a> a British firm to \u201ccraft\u201d a \u201cnew image\u201d for the country based on \u201cIsrael&#8217;s scientific and cultural achievements\u201d. After the Gaza massacre in 2009, Israel announced more money for \u2018cultural diplomacy\u2019, with an official declaring a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/03\/19\/world\/middleeast\/19israel.html?_r=1\">plan<\/a> to \u201csend well-known novelists and writers overseas, theater companies, exhibits\u201d to \u201cshow Israel\u2019s prettier face\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>No surprise then that Israeli artists like Idan Raichel admit how: \u201cWe certainly see ourselves as ambassadors of Israel in the world, cultural ambassadors, <a href=\"http:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/content\/open-door-tour-israeli-apartheid\/10531#.TqpZpLIXLI0\">hasbara ambassadors<\/a>, also in regards to the political conflict\u201d. Or that a touring Israeli chef is open about the government\u2019s intention to use \u201cartists, singers, painters, filmmakers\u201d to improve Israel\u2019s image \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/entertainment\/restaurants-and-bars\/israels-cuisine-not-always-kosher-but-travelling-well-20110521-1ey1s.html\">through culture<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from outright denial of Israel\u2019s violations of international law and systematic racial discrimination, a common objection to cultural boycott (or BDS in general) is some version of \u2018Why Israel\u2019s musicians and not China\u2019s?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But this misses the point. Boycott is a strategy, not a principle. And as such, it\u2019s a response to a call from Palestinian civil society, which is seeking to mobilise international civil society as a way of realising their basic rights. It is a familiar tactic, used to resist local and global injustices. Are Palestinians prohibited from resisting colonial occupation \u2013 and looking for allies as they do so?<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the Habima boycott call \u2013 a microcosm of the BDS campaign \u2013 is a case of institutional complicity in clear human rights abuses, and a response to an appeal for support from a people dispossessed and occupied for decades. That\u2019s it. No wonder the simplicity of it has Israel\u2019s apologists reaching for the most well-worn smear of all.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ben White is an activist and writer.
