Radiohead plays concert in Tel Aviv, snubs Palestinian boycott calls
Graham Liddell | Thursday 20 July 2017
▻http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/radiohead-plays-concert-tel-aviv-snubs-palestinian-boycott-calls-1182

BDS successful?

Despite the fact that Radiohead went forward with the concert, BDS activists told MEE they felt the campaign has been successful in spreading the word about the boycott movement and the Palestinian cause in general.

“It has raised awareness of the cultural boycott to a new demographic of people, and has shown Palestinians that they will not be forgotten,” Ammori told MEE.
