i'm only sleeping Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The organization retracts (google translate) "The Rototom Sunsplash festival has reversed and has decided to invite the American Jewish singer Matisyahu, who were excluded after a campaign group BDS Country Valencià, acronyms refer to the boycott, divestment and sanctions on Israel. The organizers have also publicly apologized for the decision. "Rototom Semitism and reject any kind of religious discrimination, respect for the Jewish community and publicly apologize for what happened," have said in a statement" The organization also apologized for the cancellation singer and has again invited to act, as initially planned, on 22 August. "The Rototom recognizes his mistake, the result of the boycott campaign and pressures, threats and coercion promoted by Valencian Country BDS considering that could seriously disrupt the normal functioning of the festival, making it impossible to manage the situation with clarity," they have targeted. Thus, the festival rectifies its previous statements, in which he argued that the cancellation was because, after asking Matisyahu a public statement "against the war and the right of Palestinians to have their own state," this does not he replied. The Rototom has appealed to his career of 22 years' commitment to the culture of peace and respect between cultures, including freedom of belief recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Spanish Constitution.
