Reminder: @LanaDelRey is not alone in playing in Israel. Other artists we love/hate/love2hate like @yungleann, @shlohmo, @arielxpink, @xxofMontrealxx, @flyinglotus, @Rhyemusic are playing the festival. Fans, encourage them to not cross the picket line & support Palestinians #BDS pic.twitter.com/fG7AH9QWrY

Here’s the record. It is not, at this point, possible to play in Israel in an apolitical way. artistsforpalestine.org.uk/2017/07/19/rad…

But be aware that your performance will be held up as a victory by the Israeli state. Eg: When @Radiohead played in Israel last year messages of congratulation were posted on twitter from 13 Israeli diplomatic accounts, 15 Israeli lobby groups and 5 far-right outlets in the US.

So artists that claim to be playing in Israel ‘though they disagree with its policies’ are not only actively supporting the Israeli state and its apartheid policies - but also its far-right supporters around the world. 4/4

However:
1. In Israel, a de-facto apartheid state, 4.4m Palestinians are literally not allowed to travel to the stadium.
2. Trump would not be able claim that @KamasiW or @flyinglotus performing in the US is an endorsement of his policies.
2/4

Some ppl are wondering if playing in Israel is not the moral equivalent of playing in "Trump's America"?
Here's the answer.
Yes: both concerts will be taking place on stolen land and the indigenous people will not be profiting from the enterprise. 1/4

If playing in the US was held up by Trump as supporting him, then yes. The way musicians are used by the Israeli govt for propaganda means the closer equivalent is playing an inauguration or fundraiser.
Eg. Look at how the state used Radiohead's gig

Completely agree. We were asked to perform at this exact festival in Israel and gladly turned it down. Israel should not be seen as an ‘international arts hub’ by the rest of the world. twitter.com/annacafolla/st…

South African musicians, @black_motion, are listed as appearing at the Meteor Festival in Israel. They announced today that they had declined the invitation and will not be performing. #BDS channel24.co.za/Music/News/bla…

I played In Israel many years ago, before I was clued up on the situation. I would never play there now. I would urge some of these people to have a look at the situation before going. Not judging because I did it myself. Just saying know what the political situation is like twitter.com/annacafolla/st…

Berwick Street today and the planned (approved) development... Advert says “More colour is coming to Soho’s high street.” What it really means is a working class market dating from 1778 is going to be pushed out by another blandscape, nevermind the shite designs. #SaveSoho pic.twitter.com/lDAcdZAuHi

If you love wild, funny and intelligent books on music that make you think about society, culture, class and race in a new way, there's an ocean of ideas to swim in here. Big love @maxjohnporter for having the chops to commission it for the UK @GrantaBooks twitter.com/Walsh_e_Patric…

It's no surprise that Lana Del Rey - who is an entirely commercial construct - isn't going to take an unprofitable political position. Much more disappointing that @KamasiW will perform for an apartheid state. #BDS #Israel twitter.com/pitchfork/stat…

For the first time in years, there are more than 10,000 #people in #Lesvos, many living in a #Moria camp enormously over capacity. This proves only one thing: deterrence policies don't deter anyone. People with no legal option will continue to risk their lives at sea. pic.twitter.com/OHyQBmFL1K

Nigel Farage has been on the BBC more times than all the Black MPs in Parliament put together who have an actual mandate — I hate to break it to you, but this one’s on your employer who
enabled him —
endorsed him —
an unelected man.
