The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) called on the world community in 2004 to boycott Israeli academic and cultural institutions for their deep and persistent complicity in Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights. One such institution, the Israel Philharmonic, is structurally complicit in Israel’s continuing genocidal campaign. Following Israel’s earlier 2009 assault on Gaza, an Israeli Foreign Ministry official stated, “We will send well-known novelists and writers overseas, theater companies, exhibits…This way you show Israel’s prettier face, so we are not thought of purely in the context of war.” That cynical role of the orchestra continues. As described by its American benefactors, the Israel Philharmonic is “Israel’s preeminent cultural ambassador,” a role intended to distract audiences from Israeli’s genocide of the Palestinian people. USACBI condemns the artwashing of Israeli genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing, and calls for a BOYCOTT of Israel Philharmonic’s 2025 U.S. tour.  Stand with the Palestinian people in their unwavering struggle for justice, liberation, and full and equal rights! Free Palestine!!
