Dear Deputy Minister Ebrahim,

 We are a group of Israelis who, like the majority of people around the world, are horrified by the actions and policies of our government. We support Palestinian civil society's call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against the Israeli government and Israeli institutions.

“Let's work together
We are one big family
Joined forever like the branches of a tree
In this world we are neighbors
There is no immunity

We are a group of Israeli citizens. Many of us have been active for years against our government's policies of racism, occupation and apartheid: We support Israeli soldiers who refuse to participate in oppression, we organize or attend demonstrations which are dispersed brutally by Israel's military forces, we get beaten by the police or by Israeli settlers, and we often get arrested.  Some us have paid a personal price for our commitment to this struggle for Palestinian freedom and justice.

Dear Red Hot Chili Peppers,
 
We are citizens of Israel who support the Palestinian civil society call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel's policies of racism, apartheid and occupation towards the Palestinian people. As we have recently learned about your planned gigs in Tel Aviv in September of 2012, we write in order to ask you not to come. Our letter is also premised on what we have learned about your activism for human rights throughout the years.
 

Dear McCoy Tyner,
 
We are a group of Israeli citizens who support the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel. We oppose our government's policies of ethno-racial segregation and apartheid, and we strongly believe that international pressure is essential in bringing these crimes to an end and creating an equal and just society for all who live in this region. We are therefore asking you to cancel your performance in Petah Tikva on March 10th.
