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.

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."	3/3/2012
