So Bricup, the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine, is urging, yet again, that a rock star should not play Israel. This time the target is that well-known highly politicised singer (I jest), Sir Elton John, who has announced that he will give a concert in Tel Aviv this June.
I was immensely amused by Bricup's tactic in which it sought to persuade Elton not to go, and to convince him of Israel's innate unsuitability as a venue. He was recommended to read the Goldstone Report.
Now, I daresay Sir Elton and David Furnish have a lovely home. But somehow, I just can't see the pair of them cuddled up of an evening, poring over Judge Richard Goldstone's dissection of Israel's Gaza operation. Heat magazine or OK!, yes. Goldstone?
Don't it warm the cockles?
