- "I've been to Palestine myself and seen the effects of the occupation with my own eyes," Dreijer said in a statement posted today.
Olof Dreijer has publicly supported the cultural boycott of Israel after being asked to DJ in Tel Aviv.
Dreijer, who's best known as one half of The Knife and for his solo productions under the alias Oni Ayhun, took to Facebook this afternoon to state his opposition to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
"There is an international consensus around the fact that Israel's occupation of Palestine is illegal," he says. "Palestinians living under military occupation and apartheid are denied their basic rights. I've been to Palestine myself and seen the effects of the occupation with my own eyes. As long as this goes on I will not perform in Israel."
