Israel Cultural Boycott fail

One visit to beautiful, diverse Israel and you know the rhetoric is a lie. Jews, Muslims and Christians eat together in the same restaurants, go to the same movies together, and wait in the same interminably long lines at the post office together.  There is no "separation" and there is no apartheid.

To perpetuate the lie, its important to keep people from seeing the truth themselves. To this end, the cultural boycott of Israel politicizes art and music , and anti-Israel activists expend considerable resources spamming and the social media accounts of performers scheduled to play in Israel.

Hows that cultural boycott going?
