Eric Burdon, former lead singer of the legendary rock group the Animals, was scheduled to perform a concert in Israel. He was excited about coming and did not agree with those who were pressuring him to join the artists’ boycott of Israel.
But then he started receiving death threats. Due to very real concerns about his safety, he canceled his trip.
When anti-Israel thugs can intimidate people into not coming to Israel, it sets a very ugly precedent. Next time someone tries to tell you that the “pro-Israel lobby” wants to silence debate about Israel, ask who is really threatening those who come here.
