is performing in Israel likely to become as toxically career destroying as performing in apartheid era south Africa?

[Peter Pedant]

No
Trump has just cut off aid to 5m palestinians
and that is unlikely to provoke any response at all.

I hope not. This sort of thing often develops a momentum of its own tho.

I imagine the cancellation of the Lana del Ray (who?) concert will have the politicians scuttling to their briefing rooms even as we speak.

Sinn Fein have been trying to get Northrrn Ireland to call off their football friendly with Israel. Luckily they’ve been told where to go.

[bainbrig]

ichkeria - well, I can match that.

Could be...never heard much of these after they did a few gigs in S. Africa.

To the people who try to call Israel an apartheid state. Please name me another democracy in the Middle East? There are about a million Israeli Arabs living in Israel. How many Jews could safely live in Gaza
