Suzanne Vega: a sad disappointment

Suzanne Vega, whom I’d fondly imagined over decades to be an intelligent and humane individual, apparently hasn’t got the message: playing in segregationalist Israel is no game!

Ms Vega cheapened herself this year in the eyes of many fans by performing in the Zionist State and giving comfort to its Jewish supremacists, desperate to avoid cultural isolation from a world community that’s lost patience with Israeli malevolence.

How many shekels was it worth, Suzanne?

Not for the first time within the last year, an aging rock star has performed in worse-than-Apartheid Israel and breached the growing global cultural boycott. How sad!

The days of cost-free collaboration with worse-than-Apartheid Israel are over. I hope you get heckled at your concerts, Suzanne. If I ever get to one again, I’ll heckle you myself.

These posters by the brilliant young artist Carlos Latuff illustrate the case for boycotting Israel.

They may not impress jaded cynics, but will help inspire a new, less corrupt generation of musicians and poets…
