Counter Boycott - BUY ISRAEL

Help us fight back

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."

Here is Lorde's Facebook page. Let her know how you feel about her participation in BDS.

The latest musician to refuse to play in Israel is New Zealand pop star Lorde. She was originally scheduled to play in Tel Aviv, but then eventually gave in to the pressure from the BDS haters. The great rabbi Shmuley Boteach said this about Lorde's decision: "That’s why it’s so sad to see a pop star like Lorde going over to the dark side of bigotry and antisemitism at such a young age. Even more hypocritical was her announcement that she would be keeping her engagements in Putin’s Russia, that global font of Nobel-prize grade humanitarianism. Lorde’s decision to play in Russia, which has backed the murder of 500,000 Arabs in Syria under Bashar al-Assad, makes a mockery of her tour and will forever undermine any legitimate pretense she might otherwise have had to be a human rights activist."

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.

Stephen Hawking

Scientist Stephen Hawking pulled out of a scheduled speech he was due to give at a celebration for the late Shimon Peres' birthday. He has since expressed his solidarity with the BDS movevment. Here is is Facebook Page.

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.

The Klaxons

The Klaxons-a U.K. based indie rock band- joined the Pixies and Gorillaz and canceled a scheduled performance they had at a music festival in Israel in 2010, because of pressure from anti-Israel groups. Here is their Facebook Page.

Alice Walker

The famed author does not want her Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Color Purple, to be translated to Hebrew because of her hate of Israel. Ms. Walker has been a long time proponent of the BDS campaign against Israel. Read about her anti-Israel activities here. Here is her Facebook Page.

Emma Thompson

According to the Algemeiner, actress Emma Thompson "publicly called on London’s Globe Theater to cancel its invitation to the Israeli theatre company Habima to take part in a Shakespeare Festival."

Stevie Wonder

Musician Stevie Wonder suddenly pulled out of a scheduled performance at an FIDF (Friends of the Israel Defense Force) event due to BDS harassment. Here is his Facebook Page.
