BRICUP tells Elton John ‘Don’t Play Israel’, c.15.02.10
BRICUP has sent an open letter to Elton John asking him to cancel
his planned concert in Israel in June. We’ve said to him:
“Okay, you turn up in Ramat Gan, and it gets to that ‘Candle
in the Wind’ moment, and thousands of lighters flicker –
but there won’t be any Palestinians from the Occupied Territories
swaying along with the Israelis – the army won’t let
them leave their ghettoes. Please read what Judge Goldstone said
about the onslaught on Gaza; what Amnesty International and Human
Rights Watch have been saying for decades about the crimes committed
against the Palestinians.”
