calling the band out for seemingly ignoring the BDS cultural boycott of Israel. The group announced the live dates alongside a statement in which it was explained that bass player Max Oleartchik was born in the city and currently resides there. The statement, which the band also shared in 2020 ahead of planned dates in Israel, stated that they didn&#8217;t claim to &#8220;know where the moral high ground lies&#8221; in the Israel-Palestine conflict and that they wanted to find &#8220;love beyond disagreement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            In a new statement shared on Thursday, Big Thief walked back these claims and confirmed they will no longer be playing in Israel next month. \u201cOur intent in wanting to play the shows in Tel Aviv, where Max was born, raised, and currently lives, stemmed from a simple belief that music can heal,\u201d the band said. \u201cWe now recognize that the shows we had booked do not honor that sentiment.&#8221; They went on to add: &#8220;We oppose the illegal occupation and the systematic oppression of the Palestinian people.&#8221; See the post in full on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CelZ64bOh81\/\">Instagram<\/a>. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) have welcomed the band&#8217;s decision, telling <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/big-thief-call-off-israel-concerts\/?utm_social-type=owned&amp;utm_brand=p4k&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;mbid=social_twitter&amp;utm_medium=social\">Pitchfork<\/a> that they &#8220;salute Big Thief\u2019s courage and their willingness to listen to the oppressed.&#8221; However, a spokesperson for Barby, the Tel Aviv venue the band were due to play, has criticized the band and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BarbyOfficial\/posts\/pfbid0Lo5xeAv4zsCMU6rFWiNestxMZeNb89eSmZ258RmrQokkbz7HC4Xeh49xE5xRRf7dl\/\">labelled them<\/a> &#8220;cowards.&#8221; <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
