Decent artists with a conscience back Lorde's action on Israel and condemn Shmuley Boteach's defamatory full page newspaper retaliatory attack on Lorde
A big thanks to the artists and Lorde for their stance on the criminal state of Israel
More than 100 artists pen letter backing Lorde's Israel gig cancellation
Key points:
- More than a hundred actors, writers, directors and musicians have publicly backed New Zealand singer Lorde's decision to cancel her upcoming Tel Aviv concert in a letter published in The Guardian on Saturday.
- "We deplore the bullying tactics being used to defend injustice against Palestinians and to suppress an artist’s freedom of conscience. We support Lorde’s right to take a stand."
- The letter also criticized a full-page ad published in the Washington Post on December 31, taken out by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's This World: The Values Network organization, calling Lorde a "bigot" and condemning her decision to join "a global antisemitic boycott of Israel." responding "He has nothing to teach artists about human rights."
