Tribute to the late and Great Peter Tosh! The Mystic Man who is an inspiration and teacher to many of us and who was never afraid to Get Up and Stand Up for Equal Rights!

"Peter Tosh died in 1987 and lived in an era when access to images from Israel's activities in Palestine were not as prevalent and colourful as now. However, Tosh was certainly thinking about Palestine in 1977 when he released the Equal Rights album.

At the end of the title track, he sings about a number of places which were fighting for their freedom. Most of them were African countries, Palestine being the only inclusion from outside the continent that was so dear to Tosh's heart. He sings:

Everyone is fighting for equal rights and justice

Palestinians are fighting for equal rights and justice

Down in Angola, equal rights and justice

Down in Botswana, equal rights and justice

Down in Zimbabwe, equal rights and justice

Down in Rhodesia, equal rights and justice

Typical of Tosh, his stance went beyond singing a song and posturing on stage. He supported a Palestinian state and, based on this, refused to perform in Israel. According to a story on the Independent's website, later that year Tosh, continued to support Palestine at a huge concert against nuclear weaponry in New York, going on stage decked out in garb like a Palestinian.

One does not have to wonder what Tosh would think about what is happening in Gaza now"
