More than 2,000 Israeli artists have signed a petition warning against anti-democratic measures being taken by the government against freedom of expression. The petition, entitled “The Blacklist: Members of the artistic community will not be silenced,” has been signed by well-know Israeli cultural figures, including veteran actress Gila Almagor, filmmaker Ronit Elkabetz, writer Yehonatan Geffen, and long-time actor and director Moni Moshonov. The signers of the petition – including actors Ran Dankner and Keren Mor and dancer and choreographer Ohad Naharin – added in the document that they were not afraid to voice their opinions.
