Research by the Ad Kan organization has revealed that the upcoming Solidarity Festival at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque (a government-funded institution) plans to screen films promoting military service refusal, anti-IDF content, and disputed Palestinian Arab narratives.
This Saturday, the film “With a Clear Conscience” will be shown, in which filmmaker Uri Barbash follows “five reserve soldiers who refused to serve in the IDF as long as it operates in Judea and Samaria citing moral objections.”
In an urgent letter to Culture Minister Zohar, Ad Kan CEO Gilad Ach demanded the minister’s intervention, stating, “It’s unthinkable that during wartime, we’re seeing screenings of films about draft dodging, the conditions of terrorists in prison, and fictional stories about a 5,000-year-old Palestinian city. The Cinematheque receives Israeli government funding – this funding must be suspended until these inflammatory films are pulled!”
