| Canadian musician Leonard Cohen urged to cancel Israel concert | | British Committee for the Universities of Palestine - Your songs have been part of the soundtrack of our lives -- like breathing, some of them. But we can`t make sense of why you`ve decided to perform in Israel in September this year. If we understand anything about Buddhism -- your practice of which is public knowledge -- it`s that Buddhism advocates "right action." We accept that this precept, like the injunction to "love thy neighbor as thyself," is probably honored more in the breach than the observance. But we can`t believe you didn`t weigh up performing in Israel in the light of "right action." And apparently you`ve decided that it`s right to take your unavoidably starry and very newsworthy presence there. | 26/4/2009 |

Mr Obama is also demanding a freeze on Jewish settlement expansion in the West Bank, and has dropped the Bush administration`s opposition to Hamas being part of a future Palestinian Authority government." | 25/4/2009 |
