Music Moguls to Artists: Don't Boycott Israel
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) Danielle Berrin - Leading music executives, talent agents and entertainment lawyers have joined together in the nascent group Creative Community for Peace (CCFP), a nonprofit seeking to counter artist boycotts of Israel. While some high-profile musicians have succumbed to pressure to cancel their Israel tours, many prominent artists are still performing there - Lady Gaga, Elton John, Rihanna, Paul McCartney and Leonard Cohen are just a few who have taken the stage there in recent years. This summer, 46 musical acts are scheduled, including Madonna, Rufus Wainwright, Herbie Hancock and Lenny Kravitz.
