Knesset Education Committee MK Zvulun Orlev expressed shock at the comments made by theatrical producer Miriam Keini, who said she wanted to ban religious individuals from a panel that awards prizes to top plays. “Members of the panel who condemned her statement must not stop there, but they must eject her from her position on the panel. A woman with such prejudiced views has no place on a public committee, and she cannot represent Israeli artists. Her comments remind us of times and places we would rather not remember,” he said.
