We are a small country, it is natural that people get more chances in the big world. Any artist seeks for international recognition and the work is there, not here. dont be sad, cheers for them.
Notice how much more creative, in a good way, Israelis can be when OUTSIDE this cesspool of embarrassing politicians, zealots and oligarchs. We use the excuse, "This is the Middle East", but rude, jealous behavior in public is just laziness. Parents. Wake Up. You are creating another generation of embarrassments.
3 of the top 100 Artists..mazal tov.. Our Political leadership is also quite Autistic (sans Dan Meridor who woke up from a deep slumber recently)
Is there room for them here as artists? Is the social climate conducive to their work? Best not to answer that.
that's just sad. So in other words, in order to be a successful Israeli artist, he/she must live abroad... sad...
