"Many of My Shows Have Been Canceled": Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei on Israel, Gaza & Censorship

We speak with acclaimed Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who recently had an exhibition in London canceled after he publicly criticized Israel's assault on Gaza in a controversial tweet posted in November. "We are gradually losing the ground of democracy or personal freedom," says Ai. He joins Democracy Now! to discuss his longtime support of Palestine and Western hypocrisy over human rights and free speech. Ai Weiwei also describes his new graphic novel Zodiac, about his experiences as a Chinese dissident.

"The same people cheering him for criticizing China now suddenly ban him for criticizing Israel. The irony."
