Eric Burdon, ex-frontman of The Animals, cancelled a performance planned for Israel on 1st August, following complaints from interested parties. It has been suggested that he was threatened by the boycott fraternity, which denies having used threatening language or behaviour.
The US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott stated: "Although we and our allies urge artists not to cross the international picket line by performing in Israel, and although we make sustained efforts to educate performers about the reason for boycott, we have not and never will issue any threats against anyone who does not heed the boycott call."
