You may recall the incident in the summer of 2015 involving Jewish American musician Matisyahu.
His appearance at the Spanish Rototom Reggae festival was cancelled after threats from local Spanish activists from the Boycott, Divestment and Movement (BDS) movement.
Spain has a particularly malicious BDS movement, which until recently, has had success convincing municipalities to boycott Israel, creating so-called Zionist-free zones. Those municipal boycotts have been declared to be illegal discrimination by Spanish courts.
Matisyahu made a name for himself as a religious Jewish Reggae singer with hits advocating peace, such as One Day.
