It was the perfect BDSfail. Spanish Israel-haters proved that they were really antisemitic by pressuring the Rototom Festival to force Matisyahu to go through a political litmus test before performing at the festival. Matisyahu refused, pointing out that he was being forced to make a political statement because he is Jewish, and no other artists had to, and Rototom canceled his concert.
