Neil Young: Honour the Boycott! Don’t Play in Tel Aviv

18 February 2014

 - Neil Young has been referred to as “Rocktivist Lifer” and he recently headlined the “Honour the Treaties” Tour supporting the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations in their legal fight against the Tar Sands. During that tour it was announced that Neil Young would be playing in Apartheid Israel on July 17. Today we are asking Neil Young to support the indigenous people of Palestine and “Honour the Boycott!”

In 2005, more than 170 grassroots Palestinian organizations called for a global campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against the State of Israel. The BDS campaign, including a cultural boycott, demands that Israel recognize the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination and fully complies with the precepts of international law.
