Here is a statement from Meretz USA chair, Theo Bikel, in support of the event:

"Throughout my life I have cared as deeply about the songs of all peoples as I have about the rights of all peoples. I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation. I know only too well that we live in a world of guns, bombs and terror. To conquer hate seems a nigh-impossible task. But I prefer to make common cause with those whose weapons are guitars, banjos, fiddles and words."
