We will not be pressured into cancelling our scheduled Israel concert, Ian Anderson, of the famed British rock group Jethro Tull said in a statement recently published in the band's official website, saying that the proceeds of the upcoming show would be transferred to charities advancing co-existence between Arabs, Jews, and Christians.
Anderson's statement comes in the wake of recent cancellations by major artists in the wake of Israel's raid of a Turkish Gaza-bound aid flotilla, which resulted in the death of nine flotilla participants."
