Cultural action in support of Palestinians from Peter Gabriel and other musicians on 2 Unite All, a benefit compilation album which will financially assist humanitarian organizations helping Palestinians in Gaza. Peter Gabriel says: Although I am sure both the Palestinian and Israeli people would benefit enormously from a just and fair two-state agreement based around the 67 borders, we have watched the Palestinians subjected to more and more suffering for far too long, especially in Gaza, Gabriel said in a statement on the albums official site. Meanwhile their long held land is repeatedly stolen by force for illegal settlements. I am not and have never been anti-Israeli or anti-Semitic; I am anti-Israeli government policy, anti-injustice, anti-oppression and anti-occupation. There is clearly a growing movement around the world willing to speak out, including my own countrys Parliament, Gabriel continued. I am happy to be one of these voices now asking the Israeli government, Where is that two state solution you have so long said you wanted? and more simply, saying, Enough. Serj Tankian added that “helping to rebuild the lives of Palestinians in Gaza is a necessary and noble worldwide humanitarian prerogative that we must not shy away from. It’s the least we can do for a people that have suffered under an occupation, embargo, and invasion.
