More Musicians Cancel Performances in “Israel”

Local Editor

More artists canceled planned performances in "Israel" after the bloody raid by "Israeli" commandos on a Gaza-bound Flotilla, sources reported.

Over the weekend the alternative-rock band the Pixies withdrew from what would have been its first-ever show in "Israel", as part of the Pic.Nic music festival scheduled in Tel Aviv this week.
The bands Gorillaz and the Klaxons have also withdrawn from the festival. Last month, Elvis Costello canceled two concerts he was to perform in "Israel" this summer, citing the complexities of the continuing "Israeli"-Palestinian conflict.

In recent months, various local and international groups have stepped up a campaign for an academic and cultural boycott of "Israel" to protest its occupation of the Palestinian territory and its brutal actions against innocent civilians.

As for the Zionist entity -that only last week killed and injured tens of unarmed peaceful international activists- a top music promoter claimed on Sunday that "Israel" is falling victim to "cultural terrorism."

It seems that some artists are not prepared to perform in Tel Aviv while just under their nose millions of human beings are suffocating under a bloody "Israeli" military regime, denying those elementary human rights.
