Protest fears for Glasgow Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds concert as Palestine activists urge boycott
They have also written to Cave asking him not to perform in Israel “until it abides by international law” amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Cave does not have any concerts scheduled in Israel, but said in an interview earlier this year that he finds it “difficult” to “punish ordinary people because of the acts of their government”.

It seems they want him to retract his stance from '17, when those comments were made in interview after a tour expressly countering the BDS movement by having two shows in Israel:
"It comes after the Australian singer and his band played two gigs in the country on their 2017 Skeleton Tree tour, which Cave said at the time were in protest at the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement."
It makes sense they'd try to get him to change his anti-boycott stance now, but I doubt it'll work.
