Actress and director Einat Weizman, who identifies as anti-Zionist and is a member of the Balad party, has announced that she will move to Athens, Greece, in the coming days with her partner and their two daughters.

In an interview with Haaretz, Weizman, who appeared in the films Operation Grandma and Colombian Love, said the decision followed years of professional and personal difficulties stemming from her political views and public criticism of Israel.

"I've been thinking about it for three years, and now the time has come to do it," she said. "It has become harder for me to be myself and make my kind of art here, as someone who is very outspoken about her political views."

Weizman said her public statements had repeatedly triggered hostile reactions and affected her ability to earn a living. "Whenever something I've said or written appears in the media, I get a lot of hate, and that also makes it hard for me to earn a living here. I've been fired and suspended by institutions where I taught."

If you’re going to criticize someone, it’s best not to get right up in their face.
