Edinburgh Film Festival returns 300 pounds to Israeli gov’t following protest

I went to the Telluride Film Festival two years back and the Israeli consulate was thanked in the program. I wonder if it was for as small a sum as this. The Scottish Palestine Solidarity Committee flipped out when they heard that the Edinburgh International Film Festival had accepted a L300 gift from the Israeli Embassy, with Gaza in ruins. The festival regrets accepting the gift. Tomorrow's protest of the festival has been cancelled!
