At Haaretz, Coen brothers who are in Israel to collect an award or honor say that boycotting Israel is a mistake. Not much of an explanation:
Responding to a question about musicians and film makers who boycott the State of Israel because of its policies and actions, screenwriter and director Ethan Coen said, “People respond to real problems from the heart, and they think that’s the right thing to do. We don’t agree with that opinion, that that’s how to deal with these problems.”
