Lorde cancels Tel Aviv concert due to human rights concerns

[Trojita]

People that never planned on going to the concert are pissed.

Edit: Fricking autocorrect.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

Lorde*

Get the queens name right.

 

[Lost]

This user tells no lies

 

[excelsiorlef]

Good for her.

Israel's response was humorous as always... asking that there not be politicization

 

[Pikachu]

I mean it kinda sucks for her fans in Israel as if they had anything to do with anything

but ok

 

[Jeff6851]

Good, fuck Israel

 

[Bronx-Man]

At least someone decided to stand up for Palestine.

 

[Mondy]

I fully expect this thread to be completely respectful, factual and tolerant of differing opinions

Spoiler

:\

 

[Medalion]

Slay Queen slay... gonna see her perform in Canada in 2018

 

[No Depth]

Wasn't Kushner solving this problem?

Lmao this is bait

 

[Siyou]

still surprised Cradle of Filth is playing there.

 

[Bedameister]

I'd probably do the same, good for her.

Bigly.

 

[Sasliquid]

I'm glad she gave the cancellation the green light, there are plenty of perfect places she could play but I imagine this will generate a lot of melodrama

Lorde decided not to give her Israeli shows the green light.

 

[farmland]

Good on her.

It'd be too cruel to subject Israelites to listen to Melodrama, even if they deserve it.

I don't mind countries being held responsible for who they elect.

Clear and unmistakable evidence of mobile thread posting.

See you in court Trojita.

No hard feelings, I know I'm a liability when I'm tipsy, it would be better if I was sober

 

[Trojita]

A selection of stuff from twitter, mostly the stuff they attached to the story. Both for and against the decision.

Edit: Didn't realize you can only post two tweets at a time

 

[Cyanity]

Lorde proving that she's still the best in 2017

You're up to 7.5, don't push your luck!

 

[Juan29.Zapata]

Lorde is such an awesome person. Everything I've read about her paints a great picture of her.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

She's outstanding in concert too (just a fantastic singer in general)

If fox and friends mentions this our president will literally get involved.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

I'm glad to see someone with that kind of status standing up to the Israeli government's complete and utter horseshit. And if any citizens there want to act high & mighty or justify the actions of their government with regard to this, they're just as guilty.

 

[Linkura]

 

[louisacommie]

I guess you can say Lorde would invite Palestine to the tennis courts and be on her team.

 

[Spongebob]

Excellent. A brave and noble stance.

 

[PawPrints]

loving lorde more and more

 

[Bufbaf]

Come to Germany instead! Please?

 

[Lat]

Good PR on her. She's smart enough to play the odds.

 

[Lidl]

Russia seems fine though:

Wouldn't mind her boycotting shows in the US if this is her logic.

All Israeli citizens are required to serve in the military or other public service.

They haven't had a proper election in a while....

Can't say I've heard of her. Can anyone recommend some of her songs?

Well to be fair most Russians support Putin.

GOOD.

Fuck the apartheid government.

Why do both these places sound like fighting game stages?
