    I hope they play Israel but let's be honest...playing in Israel these days requires courage. Eddie and the band are friends with and big fans of Roger Waters. If Pearl Jam chooses to play there they will be doing so in opposition to Roger Waters' boycott Israel movement. While I am not sure what Pearl Jam's politics are on this issue I am not convinced they are ready to jump in the middle of it and make opponents out of artists they respect.

    I can make a pretty good guess about Pearl Jam's politics. I don't see them playing there.

    mmmh.

    Yet this coming summer Soundgarden , Neil Young, Pixies and more are going to perform in Tel-Aviv.

    Don't they respect Chris Cornell who have been performing here already three times ?
    Don't they respect Neil Young who also performed here before? BTW, he was here as part of Mirror Ball tour with Mike,Jeff,Stone and Jack....

    That is exactly why playing in Israel requires courage. I hope the band ignores the likes of CM189191 but I'm just not sure that they are up to it.

    They shouldn't boycott shit.Play Isreal and play for the fans.If you don't like the politics,Dont mention them.Music transcends all that nonsense.You will attract many faiths and diverse backgrounds in Isreal.
    Like someone else said Soundgarden, Neil young are playing.(Cornell is 1/2 Jewish so I'm sure he Dosent have much issue as one side of his family has ties)
    I hate that some fans try To turn everything into a social statement.STFU and lets rock !!!!

    What is it exactly about playing Israel that would be courageous?

    Pearl Jam should not play Israel while Israel murders innocent people.
    Run for it, Marty.

    ...yawn...

    At least we have some semblance of a 'plan' to exit Iraq, Afghanistan and provide them with an opportunity to rule themselves.

    What is your plan?

    Apples, meet Oranges. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

    Thanks for your input Tribeintobreath but I think Pearl Jam should play where it wants when it wants.
