hot on the heels of gil scott-heron, joan armatrading has announced tour dates in israel this june.

it is vital to maintain the pressure on any artist intending to visit israel. joan armatrading wrote a tribute song for nelson mandela. it included the lines:

"The message
That you delivered
Told us how we should be
We should treat each other
As we would be treated"

if she genuinely believes these lines then she should not go to israel and perform in a racist, apartheid state which oppresses, denigrates and segregates.
