Hi all,

Kobi Snitz was interviewed by the (popular) IDF radio about BFW's letter :

http://glz.co.il/NewsArticle.aspx?NewsId=77541

Apparently classical musicians are much  more squeamish than other musicians, and (so says the report, or the spin) they have contacted the festival's director, asking "if BFW is a violent group", and about the situation in general. This probably has something to do with the fact that the BDS campaign hasn't contacted many classical musicians until now.

Perhaps it's time to seize this opportunity, and write your own group's letter to the musicians!

Our letter can be read here, and used as a template:

Ohal from BFW has the contact info for almost all the artists.
Better to choose musicians from your country.


Thanks, and feel free to update us !

Ofer
