I wrote earlier about how moved I was by the call for the Pixies to cancel their concert in Israel. What my blog post could not accomplish by itself, the Gaza Flotilla attack has.

The Pixies have cancelled their concert, according to Ha’aretz.

We can only hope for better days, in which we will finally present the long awaited visit of the Pixies in Israel.”

I can only add, “to a free Israel and Palestine.”

Here’s another video of the Pixies singing about the Gaza Strip in their song “River Euphrates.”
