Did you know one of the major donors $$ to Creative Australia (aka Australia Council For The Arts) is the Besen Family Foundation?
The Besen Foundation strongly supports Zionism & has been known to withdraw major arts funding if board decisions do not suit their world view.
Isn't that fascinating?

Are you saying a lot of philanthropists sponsor Creative Aust causes (that's well known) or a lot of philanthropists sponsor arts & culture in general (also quite well known) or that a lot of philanthropists demand oversight over Arab/Palestinian issues in those orgs?
An organisation based on deception…..behind the facade of Tarra Warra’s fine wine and art is the destruction and genocide of the Palestinian people…
JFC!
How coincidental that this pro-Zionist arts sponsoring foundation is connected to both issues 🤔
Welcome to the murky politics of Sydney Arts philanthropy
Its is a land of shifting sands & grudges...
If artists, people and institutions were given sufficient income support with no strings attached then we could see creativity flourish and financial anxiety diminish.
I wonder if Creative Australia has anything to say on this specific foundation's funding to them?
🤔

It may no sense for an arts board to make this decision - unless the patrons pressured them.
Take it one step further as what it happening has all the hallmarks of an organised crime war.
Who pressured the patrons?
This is nasty stuff

Eva Besen is a very shrewd Zionist.
Hey golly that line’d make a great song wouldn’t it? 🎶
This is an argument for arts and cultural organisations to be properly and publicly funded if I ever saw one.
The original post doesn't understand how CA is actually funded.
