Red hot Chili Peppers: Will You Please Cancel Your Performance In Israel?


We get it, you are artists, not politicians. Unless you have been spending the bulk of your time on another planet, you would know that your concert in Israel comes at an awful time. As Israel leaders up in arms about waging a war with Israel and as they hold hundreds of Palestinian prisoners with no charge, please do not blame me if I see your tour as approval of such polities.

I am interested in bringing issues of the land, and all the facts on the ground realities created by Israel, but I tell you this, Israel robs Palestinians from water resources, and separates families by walls and ID cards, and do nothing to quell the gangs of armed settlers who attack farmers and business owners just because they are waking up in the morning to earn a living. And if that's not enough, you get your military check points where the IDF uses senseless practices are welcome and humiliation is fr breakfast for many Palestinians.

If this is the kind of policies and people supporting them you guys want to entertain, then by all means be my guest. But the band of many beloved instant hits will be "Throw Away your Television", will take a whole new meaning. And please not to forget to dedicates at least on of your songs to the people living under an illegal occupation, "Torture Me" Red Hot Chili Peppers - Torture Me (Lyrics)
