Israeli Culture Minister Threatens To Claw Back State Funding From Local Doc ‘Two Kids A Day’ Exploring Detention Of Palestinian Children
16.01.2023 - 18:35 / deadline.com
Israel’s newly appointed Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar has lashed out against Israeli filmmaker David Wachsmann’s award-winning documentary Two Kids A Day, probing the country’s detention of Palestinian children in the West Bank, and is threatening to take back its state funding.
The minister, who took up office in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new hard-right government at the end of December, has criticized the work for presenting Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers “as those who harm children, while terrorists are presented as innocent victims”.
Zohar said he had requested Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to investigate whether it would be possible to retroactively take back state money given to the film for its production.
“The Ministry of Culture and Sports under my leadership will not finance works that harm the good name of the State of Israel, both in Israel and in the world,” he was quoted as saying by local media.
Two Kids A Day explores Israel’s detention of Palestinian youngsters, suggesting as per the title that on average Israeli Defences Forces arrest two children a day, or some 700 youngsters a year.
Sometimes the children have been caught throwing stones at Israeli soldiers or committing other low-level crimes, sometimes not, but Wachsmann and human rights activists say that Israel’s detention and treatment of the youngsters cannot be justified.
Wachsmann puts forward the theory that the detention of Palestinian children in West Bank is being used by Israeli security forces as a way to exercize control over the Palestinian population in the occupied territory.
Two Kids A Day premiered in the Israeli Documentary Competition of the Jerusalem Film Festival in July, winning the Best
