Description
Acclaimed Tel Aviv-based TV screenwriter Hagai Levi says many artists like him want to leave Israel because of the Gaza war, fearing the consequences of a gathering cultural boycott of their country. Levi, writer of a string of TV hits including "Scenes from a Marriage" and "In Treatment", is an outspoken critic of Israel's siege of Gaza, but he worries a boycott of Israel's cultural output will stifle voices within the country critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials. "Boycotting them is actually weakening them," he says. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
