IPSC welcomes launch of Musicians for Palestine
Speaking about the launch of the new global Musicians for Palestine initiative launched today, Chairperson of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Aisling Micklethwaite, said:
“We in the Ireland Palestine-Solidarity Campaign welcome the global expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people as expressed by Musicians for Palestine. The appeal by hundreds of musicians globally to stand with the Palestinian human rights and to refuse to collaborate with cultural institutions linked to the Israeli state is an important step in the fight against apartheid and oppression. Here in Ireland, more than 1,400 musicians, artists and cultural workers have already taken a principled stand for justice in Palestine, and today we salute this important gesture of solidarity with Palestine by musicians on a global scale.”
