Personally, I dont think that a boycott in retaliation for a boycott really works, but the decision of the Tricycle Theatre to withdraw from the UK Jewish Film Festival does smell particularly poo-ey. I understand that the Theatre has insulated itself against the accusation of anti-Semitism by showing that the decision is based on the funding the Festival receives from the Israeli embassy, and not because it is a Jewish festival. But I notice that the live broadcasts from the National Theatre have not been withdrawn. Among the Platinum sponsors of the NT is Shell, a company that has as good as admitted that it has taken part in human rights violations. The Tricycle are happy to engage with Shell, but not with Israel?
