C-Sides is an electronic art and music festival held annually in Jerusalem, which promotes critical thought and dialogue via cultural exchange between Israeli and European artists.
Three dozen Israeli artists (myself included) have issued the following statement calling for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon:
