Eine Antwort an den Offenen Brief englischer Künstler, die zum Boykott des ESC 2019 in Tel Aviv aufrufen | Uwe Becker | Facebook

Israel is preparing for the ESC 2019 and Tel Aviv will for sure be a great place to host this very special event. There is no other place in the Middle East, where the coexistence of so many different religions, cultures, sexes and opinions can bee seen like in Israel and Tel Aviv is the diverse hub number 1.
But as usual, antisemitic groups like the BDS movement and other anti-Israel activists are calling for a boycott.
In a single sentence of a letter from „artists from Europe and beyond“, those people show, that they have no idea what they are talking about.
They write: „Until Palestinians can enjoy freedom, justice and equal rights, there should be no business-as-usual with the state that is denying them their basic rights. „
Well „artists from Europe and beyond“ where in the whole region you are talking about can we see „freedom, justice and equal rights“? Where are those basic human rights constitutional guaranteed? Right, in Israel.
And why are „freedom, justice and equal rights“ denyed to the Palestinian people? Right, because their currupt leadership – Hamas and the Palestinian Authority – is not giving their people the right to vote, the freedom of opinion, of religion or of the press.
So when you really want to help the Palestinian people, start to boycott antisemitic movements like BDS, or the Palestinian leadership, that are using you to paint the wrong picture.
And finally, as long as you support the boycott of Israel, you are not welcome in our city of Frankfurt!
