The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Against the State of Israel was in the headlines in Brazil.<\/em><\/p>\n

Popular singer Milton Nascimento signed a contract for performances in Europe that included Tel Aviv on June 30.<\/p>\n

BDS and personalities send letters asking singer Milton Nascimento to cancel his show in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

Popular singer Roger Waters had his personal letter to Milton Nascimento published by the mainstream media.<\/p>\n

Despite of pressures coming from multiple directions, money spoke louder and Milton Nascimento carried out his shameful performance to Zionist audiences.<\/p>\n

Just before his presentation, he publicized a statement saying that his performance does not mean any support for the Israeli administration but only his desire to let his fans to attend a live show.<\/p>\n

Soraya Misleh, a major BDS activist in Brazil, wrote that the Israeli administration is not the point.<\/p>\n

The point is the Israeli State and its 70-year-old policy of apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing which prevents Palestinians from attending his show because Israeli apartheid do not allow them to go to the lands of their ancestors.<\/p>\n

For Soraya the campaign was critical to bring the issue of Israeli apartheid to the broader audience.<\/p>\n

For sure, any singer who decides to hold performances in Tel Aviv will have to think twice.<\/p>\n
