The Israel Boycotters
Below is a list of the haters; the most prominent of those who refuse to perform in Israel, or who otherwise have taken a hostile stance towards the Jewish State. If they wish to starve Israel economically then we should do the same back to them. Its time for Israel supporters to fight back. |
Roger Waters![]() Pink Floyd Frontman Roger Waters is calling on all artists to boycott Israel. Read the story here. Tell Roger what you think about his boycott of Israel on his facebook page. Roger Waters is perhaps the most famous proponent of the Israel boycott, and has become one of the de facto leaders of this despicable movement. Supporters of Israel must let him know that boycotting Israel will not go unnoticed. Update: "Legendary UK musician, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, has reiterated his strong support for the Palestinian campaign for self-determination in a statement announcing a forthcoming conference in Brazil to support and expand the global movement for Palestinian rights."

Elvis Costello![]() In May 2010 Elvis Costello canceled a scheduled performance in israel as a matter of "conscience." He wrote on his website: "I hope it is possible to understand that I am not taking this decision lightly... It is a matter of instinct and conscience." Mr. Costello has not performed in Israel since his cancellation. Let him know how you feel about his boycott of Israel on his Facebook page. Just "like" him and you can comment on his page.

The Gorillaz![]() The Gorillaz canceled their scheduled June 2010 performance in Israel because of the floatilla incident. They gave no explanation for their cancellation. And in a genuinely hypocritical move, they performed in Syria just a few weeks after canceling their performance in Israel. Syria is ruled by a dictatorship, and is a strong supporter of Hezbollah--a terrorist organization which has murdered hundreds of Americans. Truly unbelievable. Until they perform in Israel you should not support them in anyway. Let them know how you feel about their hypocrisy on their facebook page. Like their page and you can write on their wall.

Brian Eno
![]() Brian Eno said this about Israel in 2009: "What we're seeing in Gaza is an experiment in provocation conducted by the Israeli government. You take one and a half million people, you stuff them into a small space, you deny them food, water, sanitation, medicine, and then act surprised when they get hostile. But you want that hostility, because that's the cue for you to act the victim. Israel is pretending to be a victim in a situation in which they are the oppressor.” Here is his Facebook Page.
