Lorde has found herself at the center of controversy after she canceled a recent show in Tel Aviv. The Kiwi pop star canceled the show after facing protests from the pro-Palestine Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement but she has now been called a “bigot” in a full-page ad in the Washington Post. The ad, which was taken out by a man claiming to be an American rabbi, reads: “21 Is Young To Become A Bigot.” In smaller type, the ad also reads, “Lorde joined a global anti-semitic boycott of Israel but will perform in Russia, despite Putin’s support for Assad’s genocide in Syria.” Many Israelis reached out to her personally requesting that she keep the show including Israel’s Culture Minister Miri Regev who released a statement, reading: “Lorde, I’m hoping you can be a ‘pure heroine’ like the title of your first album. Be a heroine of pure culture, free from any foreign – and ridiculous – political considerations.” Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
