Floyd star told to boycott Israel
BBC: A group of artists has called on Roger Waters of Pink Floyd to back a
campaign against Israeli barriers in the West Bank by dropping a concert in
Israel.
Bassist Waters was asked to cancel the show in Tel Aviv by the Palestinian
Association for Contemporary Art.
He told the Guardian he would "not rule out" going to Israel even though he
disapproved of its "foreign policy".
Waters has previously criticised the barriers, which Israel said are needed
to stop would-be suicide bombers.
Waters, who wrote the hit song Another Brick in the Wall, said: "I would
not
rule out going to Israel because I disapprove of the foreign policy any
more
than I would refuse to play in the UK because I disapprove of Tony Blair's
foreign policy."
He added that his fans in Israel included "many refuseniks".
The network of fences and concrete barricades is a temporary measure
intended to prevent Palestinian militants entering Israel to carry out
attacks, Israel's government has said.
'Bridge-building'
The Palestinians are angered by the effects of the barrier, which restricts
tens of thousands of people's access to schools, hospitals and agricultural
land.
They also argue that the barrier is an attempt to grab West Bank land.
Association member Sliman Manour, who signed the letter, criticised Waters
for agreeing to perform in Israel.
He said: "How can someone who wants to look like a leftist in the world -
fighting against the Berlin Wall, for open borders, and for love between
people - come to Israel while they are still building their wall and hold a
musical event?"
Mr Manour called on Waters to cancel the concert or put on a separate
performance for Palestinians.
Concert promoter Shuki Weiss said Waters was persuaded to come to Israel
after it quit the Gaza Strip territory, on which Palestinians want to build
a state, last year.
"His message is about peace and coexistence, that walls should be replaced
by bridges," said Mr Weiss.
Palestinians claim all of the West Bank for a future state, with East
Jerusalem as its capital.
