Leonard Cohen: No Ramallah Concert
The Canadian singer, poet, novelist, and icon Leonard Cohen was to play in Ramallah in the West Bank. Palestinian activists wanted him to cancel his concert in Israel. The poet of love, faith, and longing said sorry, but can't do that. What a shame now that he won't inspire in Ramallah with his message of hope. See the story below:

When will the militant anti-colonial and reactionary left learn that two states, love, and the end of demonisation of both Israel and Palestine is the answer?
