United States' singer/songwriter Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall) was encouraged by boycott activists to cancel her gig in Tel Aviv, scheduled for February 12. It looks like the pressure worked.
On February 9, Cat Power , and tweeted: 鈥淢usic is healing and it is not humane if all cannot have the choice, the right, to attend.鈥
Her announcement came after she asking her fans to 鈥渇ind a show in Ramallah 鈥 for the people of Palestine鈥.
However, it is against the to support an artist seeking to mitigate the apartheid policy by 鈥渂alancing鈥 their performance in Tel Aviv with a performance in the occupied West Bank.
Regardless of her attempt to find a venue, Cat Power ended up cancelling her gig in Tel Aviv anyway. Cat Power joins a growing list of artists, musicians and performers who have cancelled their appearances for audiences in Israel, and should be commended for her action.
