"Just prior to the festival's start, however, some 50 intellectuals and filmmakers, including British director Ken Loach, accused North America's premiere film festival of "complicity with the Israeli propaganda machine" over its spotlight this year on Tel Aviv, given "the absence of Palestinian filmmakers in the program."
The program "ignores the suffering of thousands of former residents and descendants of the Tel Aviv/Jaffa area who currently live in refugee camps in the Occupied Territories" after a "mass exiling of the Palestinian population" in 1948, they said in an open letter to festival organizers."

Yes it is the launching of the "Brand Israel" campaign, that TIFF should have never agreed to. So the political thrust was Israel's first, all this is (the Declaration) just an expose and an agreement that it should not occur (spotlighting Tel Aviv) while Israle rampages with its murderous, genocidal occupation.
