    I have a friend traveling to Israel 2 days after Trump meets with Netanyahu. I hope she makes it back alive

    What a shit article. Same old anti-Semite bull. They just won't let the pig thing go, no matter how many times it's discussed that the Star of David was one of many symbols shown on it.

    I think it says something about a nation when every concert played is considered a political win. Which, I suppose, makes a Brittany Spears concert important enough to delay an election.

    You mean like Bibi going after the press after they criticized his wife free or some other kind of free, like non hisidic being welcome at the wall free?

    I'm sorry but who's mission is it to turn every artist's refusal to play into a political statement? BDS did that. It is they who turned art into either a political victory or loss for one side or the other. Israel didn't make the Radiohead show into a "political win"...BDS did that all on it's own.

    As far as PJ playing Israel... I don't see that happening any time soon... especially considering Roger Waters stance and the BDS, I think PJ would not hesitate to continue to stand in solidarity

    I agree that it is unlikely they'll ever play Israel but I wouldn't exactly call it "solidarity". PJ has never actually wayed in on the issue...none of us have any idea where they stand on BDS. They are friends with Roger Waters but by no means have they endorsed the movement.
