Ken Loach stands up for Palestinian rights.
Thank heaven for his courage. He wants to symbolise : Hundreds of Palestinian youths
from Gaza and the West bank are jailed in Israel, hundreds are barred from studying abroad because their relatives are on Israeli blacklist. At present , Israel doesn’t even let into Gaza building material to repair houses bombed by the IAF eight months ago. This is not the time to have party with Israeli artworkers. Ken L. has a sense of justice.
