…who do you think was weeping when Nick Cave ignored the pleas of BDS not to play in apartheid Tel Aviv…not Nick anyway…he’d got his blood money…save your tears…hypocrite…
In his own words…

Cave’s weekly email dispatch, the Red Hand Files, is a decent read.
…hi Otis…thanks for supplying a transcript of that apologia…if anything, it just makes matters worse…as you know, the ‘B’ stands for Boycott and Nick Cave chose to ignore it…his presence in Tel Aviv is part of a campaign by the zionists to normalise blatant apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestine…his presence supports that campaign no matter how he tries to rationalise it…as far as I am concerned, and many others, he has chosen the wrong side of history…
I can’t agree with this Bisted.
I deplore virtue signalling from musicians and actors personally – except when Marlon Brando did it which was really making a statement.
Otherwise I don’t feel like ordinary fans in Israel are to blame for their government’s action.

Reads like a load of mealy mouthed waffle to support his imho, rather weak position. Tell the Israeli press and people whatever you like, Nick, but the very fact of being there is tacit support of the monster that Isreal is and always was. Look at Australia and the US. Blighted lands both because the stole the land from the original inhabitants, can anyone be so blind as not to see the hypocrisy of making any art in Isreal? It all benefits this pariah state. Sorry Nick, love the music though. Brian is right
