Elvis Costello vs. Israel

Elvis Costello politically incorrect: the British canceled all the concerts he had planned to offer in Israel next June. The causes? In protest against the policy of this country towards the Palestinians.

Costello stated that the «intimidation" Y "humiliation"Of the Palestinians is what led him to make the decision, according to the Israeli daily Haaretz. The concerts were scheduled for June 30 and 31 at the Roman amphitheater in Caesarea.

«I must believe that among the audience for those concerts there will be many who question their government's policies in the settlements and who deplore the conditions of intimidation, humiliation or even worse towards Palestinian civilians in the name of national security.«Wrote the legendary vocalist.

And he closed firmly: «Sometimes the silence of music is better than standing still«.
