I urge this organization to make more of an effort and protest the people and organizations who can actually make a difference to correct the injustices in the occupied territories.
3) Just as Lang Lang can not be held responsible for human rights violations in China, it is preposterous to hold 4 individual Israeli citizens responsible for the actions of their government.
1) The Jerusalem Quartet does not "Collaborate with the state of Israel" on any level. We do not receive funding or support from any government institution.
2) Our concerts are not organized in conjunction with the state of Israel and are booked through managements and presenters outside of Israel. Therefore it is a falsehood to claim that we are any kind of "Ambassadors".

To clarify misinformation in this clip:
1) The Jerusalem Quartet does not "Collaborate with the state of Israel" on any level. We do not receive funding or support from any government institution.
2) Our concerts are not organized in conjunction with the state of Israel and are booked through managements and presenters outside of Israel. Therefore it is a falsehood to claim that we are any kind of "Ambassadors".
