Take action: ask Brazilian music stars Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil to cancel Israel concert

Brazilian Tropicalia music stars Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, whose music has aways been connected to struggles for freedom, justice and equality, are scheduled to perform in Tel Aviv. The concert is due in July, when Palestinians will be marking the anniversary of Israel's massacre on Gaza.

Ask Veloso and Gil to do as Lauryn Hill, Roger Waters and so many others have done and refuse to entertain Israeli apartheid and help Israel to whitewash its crimes.

On Nakba day, Palestinian civil society in besieged Gaza decries collective failure to ensure accountability for Israeli massacre

On May 15 each year, Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, the catastrophe in 1948 when more than 700,000 indigenous Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their homes by Zionist militias and later the State of Israel.

Marking this occasion, Palestinian organisations have issued a statement highlighting human catastrophe that Gaza is facing and urging steps to hold Israel to account for its 2014 massacre. Please read and share this important statement.
