33711, RE: How can you perform in Israel? It's like performin in SA during apartheid Posted by Frederik-, Sat Jan-26-08 09:46 AM
No.
The people of SA were removed with force into "homelands". The people of Palestine were removed from their homes into refugee camps.
The people of SA was removed every chance of obtaining a respectful life. As is the people of Palestine.
The people of SA were suppressed. As is the people of Palestine!
Currently civilians die at hospitals because the Israeli government have shut down power supplies, food is not allowed into Gaza.
I would never perform in a country suppressing people in such ways.
But hey, money is always nice - While spending them, nobody will be able to tell whether they are clean or dirty.
But I would still be thrilled if conscious artists as Erykha Badu would take a stance under the current situation - And act accordingly to what they believe is right or wrong.
