She's not anti-semitic. She is naive and uninformed. She would have been much wiser not to have succumbed to the leftist propaganda with which NZ has become infected and simply perform for her fans wherever in the world they may be without being subject to political interference.

If she had refused to play in front of Nazis, would you say the same?

Shades of bullying and fascism. Is this how Israel intends to "Win Friends & Influence People"? It won't work with us Kiwis. We don't appreciate being heavied by thuggish behaviour from other govts.

So now Israel is trying to control NZ citizens?This has achieved only one thing:we now begin to comprehend what the Palestinian people have been up against since 1948. Oppression.Bullying.Character assassination.Propaganda. Stand tall, Lorde. This kind of bulling will not prevail

They weren't Palestinian cities dooofus it was the OTTOMAN EMPIRE. The region "Palestine" also contained ALL of Jordan. Do you have a problem with Jordan or just that bit of land called Israel?

Oh fuck yes... that ex politician and "journalist" - a swede... notoriously not that fond of Jewish people. At least he has the sense to call for a two state solution. All Abbas has to do is sit down and talk?

It can be over used I agree but there must be some rhyme/reason to the vitriol ladled upon Israel in proportion to pretty much everywhere else. I have my own theories re: white liberal take on Israel but that requires more characters than twitter permits.

It's important to separate anti-semitism from opposition to the extremist Israeli state. Proponents of Israeli extremism seek to conflate the two things. They are very different. Calling out the inhumanity of Israel's government is being pro-humanity. Kudos NZ! Kudos Lorde!
