Fwiw cultural boycott helped bring down South Africa’s apartheid system.

I support BDS. However, if VanCAF wants to apply BDS guidelines, then they should accept Miriam. BDS guidelines say NOT to ban an artist simply because they're Israeli or for their opinions. The ban only applies to representatives/employees of certain organizations. bdsmovement.net/pacbi/cultur...

Anchored in precepts of international law and universal human rights, the BDS movement, including PACBI, rejects on principle boycotts of individuals based on their identity (such as citizenship, race, gender, or religion) or opinion. Mere affiliation of Israeli cultural workers to an Israeli cultural institution is therefore not grounds for applying the boycott. If, however, an individual is representing the state of Israel or a complicit Israeli institution, or is commissioned/recruited to participate in Israel’s efforts to “rebrand” itself, then her/his activities are subject to the institutional boycott the BDS movement is calling for.
