Rockers Of Montreal bolt Israel festival, denounce ‘apartheid’

Rock group Of Montreal are the latest musicians to pull out of a festival in Israel, accusing the Jewish state of “apartheid” and urging more activism.

The indie rock band — which, despite its name, is from Athens, Georgia and not Quebec — follows the pop singer Lana Del Rey in leaving the three-day Meteor festival, which opens in northern Israel tomorrow.
