Thank you for your courage in your decision to boycott Israel and your choice of words! The BDS movement is under pressure from fanatics here in Olympia. Words and actions like yours bolster the grassroots movement to end apartheid in Israel just as similar actions did in South Africa. Together, we the common people, may yet see justice prevail in the Middle East.

When Amira Hass participate in a round table (with others as Ilan Pappe) in a book forum in Paris, despite the fact that Israel was the honour state invited, she explained that she did so because she thought that pronouncing her views within that forum, was more influential than boycotting it. She made the important point that boycott is a tool and not an aim for itself . I am wondering if in the particular case of Natacha Atlas, whose audience must include a large number of Palestinians living in Israel, is indeed the right choice.

Never heard of her!

We, the global community who seek justice for all, admire Natasha Atlas for taking this decisive action. People with high profile, like her, make a real impact when they signify their unwillingness to associate with those who would suppress their fellow human beings and deprive them of all those things which most of us take for granted - freedom of association, freedom from harassment, access to health services, access to clean water, freedom to claim own property exclusively as ones own and not to have it appropriated and ones 1000 year olive trees
ripped up to make way for a separation wall, to have ones children safe from arrest and detention by Israeli "security" forces and abused. The tame media are unlikely to laud Natasha Atlas for her courage but the ordinary people will appreciate her courage. Thank you Natasha.
