Eileen Fleming: Facebookers Call for Bob Dylan to Boycott Israeli Concert

For months, numerous Facebook groups have been calling for Bob Dylan to stand with the Palestinian call for BDS: Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions on Israel, until Israel abides by International Law, and ends its brutal occupation of the indigenous Palestinian people. Before I served as Advisory Team Leader in Vietnam, and worked as Intelligence Operations Officer for our 4th US Armored Division in Goeppingen, Germany, I intercepted a desperate call from the USS Liberty, one of America's ships in the Mediterranean. Seems our so-called "Israeli Allies" had just decided to machine gun the American occupants of that vessel, in order to silence the crew from reporting an Israeli atrocity. On orders from my boss: Colonel Antero Aakkula, I ran the information to our commanding General. While I still stood near his door, he remarked about that Israeli atrocity: "With friends like the Israelis, we have no need of other enemies". But back to Bob Dylan and his concert: For months, numerous Facebook groups have asked Bob Dylan to ask for a Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions on Israel, until Israel abides by international law and ends its brutal occupation of the indigenous Palestinian people. Bob Dylan had earlier remarked: "The only person you have to think twice about lying to is either yourself or to God! In one of Dylan's songs, he preaches: "There's a battle outside, and it's raging! It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls - For the times they are a-changing!"
