Pete Seeger, the legndary folk singer has announced that he regrets
having taken part in the
Arava festival in Israel and committed himself to full support of the boycott movement. He said,
“I appeared on that virtual rally because for many years I’ve
felt that people should talk with people they disagree with. But it
ended up looking like I supported the Jewish National Fund. I misunderstood
the leaders of the Arava Institute because I didn’t realize to what
degree the Jewish National Fund was supporting Arava. Now that I know
more, I support the BDS movement as much as I can.”
