Dear Mr Talib Kweli Greene,
Considering your upcoming concert at Conne Island on December 13th, we the people and voluntary makers of this venue are deeply concerned about your recent and previous comments about the Israeli democracy and your perspective on the status of the Jewish state in general.
Conne Island always was and will be a place where discrimination will be rejected.
Whether its sexism, racism, homophobia anti-Semitism, et cetera.
We solidarize with the state of Israel and everybody who's seeking for peace in the Middle East, based on the fact that Israel has the right to exist which demands to defend and protect its people (including nearly 2 million arabians). Israel's right to exist remains unalterable for us.
To say that Israel is an apartheid state is simply wrong and takes away any empathy and understanding of what South African apartheid was about.
To threaten the only democracy in this area by boycotting, divesting and sanctioning this sovereign state, which is also threatened by nearly every neighbor, including the Hamas, Hezbollah, IS and a possible nuclear armed Iran, seems very harsh to us. Or put more precisely, it’s obvious antisemitism.
Wondering about the fact that we never heard and saw such tendencies in your music, we're asking you to change your perspective. We cannot tolerate anti-Semitic rants, posts or signings.
We would love to have another great evening with you on 12/13, but if you continue to support the BDS campaign and make anti-Semitic tweets on twitter or on whatever platform, there is no ohter option for both of us than to cancel the concert.
Respect
Conne Island
