Roger Waters posted an open letter to Neil Young a few days ago, urging him not to play in Israel. not sure if it's related though.
The official reason given for the cancellation was security concerns, I read.
yeah, i just read that too.

the comments on the Jerusalem Post facebook page are fucking brutal. a lot of cranky, brainwashed people.
I'd be upset about missing the Neil Young concert too.

“It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we must cancel our one and only Israeli concert due to tensions which have rendered the event unsafe at this time,” a representative for Young said in a statement. “We’ll miss the opportunity to play for our fans and look forward to playing in Israel and Palestine in peace. I will be making donations to both the Louise Tillie Alpert Youth Music Centre of Israel, and Heartbeat, two organizations that teach music to Palestinian and Israeli youth simultaneously by enabling them to play music together.”

Cheesy headline, but looks like Neil got it right. Donates proceeds of the show to

Has this guy honestly not heard Eddie speak once over the past 24 years?


BTW
... but last I checked, Pearl Jam continues to sell our shows in the United States,

I'm not one to get into many discussions about politics, but I do want to chime in here:

Anyone who thinks Ed was being racist in any form or fashion is flat out wrong.

Doesn't matter who it is or where they are from...Ed it purely calling out those people who would make it their mission to murder other humans. Period.

Preach on, brother Ed.

To those who are offended by someone who passionately opposes senseless war and killing I say this: Go fuck yourselves.

Actually let me rephrase that:

Go kill yourselves.
