Pixies cancel Israel concert

The pixies are an alternative rock band wich have a lot of fans In Israel. They have cancelled their first performance in Israel wich was supposed to be in Tel Aviv on 9 June.

Apparently they've cancelled their performance to protest Israel's boarding on the Gaza flotilla by the Israeli Navi wich was a weak earlier. The band said: "we'd like to extend our deepest apologies to the fans, but events beyond all our control have conspired against us. We can only hope for better days, in which we will finally present the long awaited visit of the Pixies in Israel.

Both sides of the issue

On the one hand, there are some people who agree with the band and think that what they did was right and they absolutely were not supposed to perform in Israel. There are even bands who have cancelled their show in Israel either like Klaxon and Gorillaz sound system.

On the other hand, there are some people who think that what the band did was wrong and rude. The band even let down their own fans in Israel who wanted to see them so much and even bought tickets.

My own opinion

I think that they shouldn't have cancelled the show just because the political situation in Israel. I think that a band that comes playing for their fans should do it no matter what the political situation. They came for their fans and they shouldn't have let them down.
