For the last year, following the coronavirus lockdown and restrictions that affected so much of our lives, the city that never sleeps has experienced a most abnormal year-long hibernation.
Naturally, for the culture capital of Israel, it meant a full shutdown of all nightlife spots, restaurants, and the entire arts scene. For a city in which empty streets and almost no traffic bring to mind a quietness you only normally experience on Yom Kippur, it was certainly an unusual year.
Selected works by 58 Israeli artists will be purchased by a $250,000 acquisition fund

TEL AVIV
.-The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Foundation, which has been awarding an annual prize of approximately $120,000 to two artists since 2006, has decided, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, to reconfigure the prize this year as a dedicated $250,000 fund for the purchase of art works.
The art works will be purchased for the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Israeli Art Collection at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, which comprises works by Rappaport Award winners over the years, and will be on display at a special exhibition to be opened at the Museum in August 2021.
Human Rights Watch weighed in this week on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by using the term “apartheid” in its report on conditions in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
For some, the term justifiably assigns a harsh label to a harsh reality of oppression and occupation. For others, it’s an overstatement that has dangerous implications for Israel’s future.
But it’s not the first time a widely-respected organization or influential person has used the term. Below, find a timeline featuring some of the notable uses of the word “apartheid” in relation to Israel.
