John Greyson's World Cup spoof calls for artists to boycott Israel
It's the Penguins vs. the Ostriches in this Boycott Israel summer match -- a showdown between artists like Elvis Costello and the Pixies who canceled their Israel concerts in respect of the boycott, vs. Metallica, Rihanna and Elton John who are going forward with theirs, despite growing criticism.

Hey Elton John, Toronto's John Greyson has a message for you
Palestinian civil society has called on Elton John to respect their boycott call and cancel his June 17th concert in Tel Aviv. If he does so, he'll be joining Santana and Gil-Scott Heron, who recently cancelled their spring concerts in Israel. This video suggests six reasons why Elton should join the BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) movement.
