As it turns out, we don't need to. I called the (British) Musicians Union just 
now to ask what happened. The anti-Israel motion debated yesterday was 
defeated.

(Which, incidentally, is the same story as has happened recently with various 
proposed academic boycotts of Israel in UK universities. The worrying thing is 
that these motions, like yesterday's, continue regularly to turn up.)
