Cultural boycott of Israeli institutions and companies

Cultural boycott of Israeli institutions and companies

De Betovering is one of the signatories of the cultural boycott of Israel. We, as one of the members of the Dutch and Belgian cultural sector, refuse to stand on the sidelines any longer regarding war crimes, crimes against humanity, and what is recognized by all authoritative institutions as genocide against the Palestinian people.

With our support for the cultural boycott, we contribute to cultural pressure that can hopefully lead to a permanent ceasefire, the observance of fundamental human rights, and the end of the exclusion and destruction of a population group.

The boycott is not directed against individuals or their origin, but against the complicity of Israeli institutions and companies in human rights violations against the Palestinians. 

Everyone Welcome remains our motto for all children who wish to visit our festival, regardless of their origin or background. Read the full statement and the list of signatories at https://cultureleboycotisrael.nu
