Why Boycott the Israel Philharmonic?
Palestinian and international civil society has asked supporters
worldwide to begin cultural and economic boycotts, along with
divestment and sanction campaigns. These methods were part of the
successful struggle to end Apartheid in South Africa.
The Israel Philharmonic's conductor, Zubin Mehta, calls it "Israel's
flagship." On its website, the Orchestra talks about its role in
playing for Israel's soldiers in the field and in celebrating
Israel's military victories.
So the Orchestra, which is supported by the Israeli government, sees
itself as an instrument of its government's policies.
Those policies have imposed an Apartheid system on the Palestinians
living in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. This system is
maintained by a brutal military occupation. Within Israel,
Palestinian citizens of Israel face deeply discriminatory laws and
practices.
We oppose Israeli Apartheid and oppose Israel's Occupation of
Palestine. Just as the international community imposed a cultural,
sports and economic boycott of South African in order to end
Apartheid there, we call for a similar boycott to end Israeli Apartheid.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to demonstrate your opposition to
Israel's occupation of Palestine.
