Friends:
If you all would like to discuss your personal view that boycotts in Europe spell nascent anti-Semitism, may I suggest taking it to a politically-oriented listserv?
For the record, I have taken an active public stand against various anti-Israel boycotts (writing letters to newspapers and debating in political forums), but I hardly think that this is the place advance those arguments. If the topic interests you, I highly recommend reading British/European publications on-line in order to learn more about their point of view viz-a-viz Israel and the Palestinians in order to get an idea of the range of issues that are involved.
Although I am not happy seeing an anti-anti-Semitism pledge drive going on on the music list, out of deference to Ari's wishes, I will not begin to spell out alternative ways of looking at this issue. But rest assured that there are.
Thanks, and now, back to music! Lori
