As police detectives turned Maarav editor Ronen Eidelman's home upsidedown searching for non-existant evidence of a crime he had no part in (ultimately seizing his computer equipment) one officer remarked to Ronen, "The problem with this country is that there is too much democracy."

In an age when the public sphere has become polluted by public relations personell, bad entertainers and other crooks, and when paths of expression and creativity have become blocked to those who are not willing to bow down before the authorities, we believe that there can never be too much democracy.

The day before the national elections, Maarav will celebrate those who not only create original, independent art and culture, but those who also believe that free expression is worth fighting for.

Reclaim democracy and the public square!

20 shekel suggested contribution. All proceeds to support Maarav's legal battle with the Israeli authorities, and to investigate the connection between the art, capital, and the state.
