Spot on Godfrey. If corporations and the wealthy were taxed properly there would be no need for faux philanthropy. You are correct, it is a means to exerting unseen influence.
Hmmm... based on this article and the evidence provided, and having heard Jayson Gillham interviewed about it on a couple of occasions, I can see only one side suffering reputational damage from the revelation of more evidence. And rightly so too.
Not only are they comfortable with genocide and slaughter, they are comfortable with the demonisation of anyone who advocates the cessation of both these things in Palestine. This is evinced by the fact that Jayson has been given no opportunities to perform in Australia since this episode, other than those he is generating himself. He has no problem with performances overseas, but has effectively been blacklisted in Australia. He's about to embark on a national tour; perhaps we could all support him in this.
This in no way justifies the ongoing genocide in West Asia. Not knowing, or covering for someone/Something is not an excuse for committing or turning a blind eye to genocide. Everyone has a choice, we know what murder is.
Underfunding the arts allows the rich to shape cultural production in their image.

This is a case study in how the Israel lobby uses money to influence and control Australian institutions. They made the trope a truth.

It’s disgusting how many people in our community are comfortable with genocide and slaughter
These people build a very strong case for removing public funding for the Arts if it’s used to further or protect such evil causes.

Wow.
