| Caught in the crossfire: Should musicians boycott Israel? | | Jello Biafra - Aljazeera - I will not perform in Israel unless it is a pro-human rights, anti-occupation event that does not violate the spirit of the boycott. I am staying away for now, but am also really creeped out by the attitudes of some of the boycott hardliners.
I loved Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem was hardly the "dead city" at night that some Tel Aviv hipsters claim it is. I want to go back. I want to play. But I, too, am as sickened as the next person that not all the cool people I met in the West Bank can cross into Israel and enjoy Tel Aviv - or even worship in Jerusalem. You can`t just keep almost four million people in prison."
