Nick Cave is facing opposition from the likes of Roger Waters and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore for booking an upcoming tour date in Israel. Both Waters and Moore are members of an anti-Israeli group called Musicians for Palestine who is pushing for Lowe to cancel the show. “Domination means Palestinian writers under house arrest. Literary festivals broken up. Travel bans for actors and musicians. Social media under surveillance,” the group wrote in the letter. “Media centres raided and plundered. The normalized use of military force against a captive population. The steady expansion of illegal settlements.” They add: “These are crimes. But when international artists of your stature, despite the appeals of Palestinians, continue to turn up on Israeli stages, the government which promotes these crimes takes heart: whatever it does, it seems there will be no penalty.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com.
