      It's official, Lorde has canceled her Tel Aviv show in Israel after pressure from BDS. Local organizers say ticket holders will be refunded.

      Since the singer announced two stops in Russia and one in Tel Aviv on Twitter last week, she was bombarded with calls for her to cancel the Israel show. Nobody seemed to have a problem with her concerts in Russia, that bastion of human rights.

      Eran Arieli, one of the producers behind Lorde's Israel gig, said he apologizes to her fans and to the singer herself, "who doesn't deserve all the shit she's had to put up with over the past week" adding: "I was naive to think a singer of her age could handle that pressure."

      Despite active BDS efforts, there are few artists who have canceled already scheduled shows for Israel: in 2015 Lauryn Hill canceled a show, and in 2010 Elvis Costello did as well.

      Meanwhile, even 280 characters isn't enough to list all the huge acts who have showed up in Tel Aviv in the past few years, including Justin Bieber, Radiohead, Lady Gaga, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Sia, Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake and much much more.

      OK I'll keep going: Elton John, Morrissey, One Republic, James Blunt, Boy George, Robbie Williams, Queen featuring Adam Lambert, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Rod Stewart. Who wants to guess how many I was at?

          Culture Minister Miri Regev issued a statement calling on Lorde to reverse her cancellation: "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."

          The Israeli ambassador to New Zealand has invited Lorde to meet him and discuss how music should unite us. But Lorde doesn't need to hear from Israeli gov't officials, she should hear from her local fans who basically couldn't care less about the gov't.http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/New-Zealand-ambassador-invites-Lorde-to-meeting-520055 …

          Looks like @realDonaldTrump’s announcement on #Jerusalem has backfired (same US policy since Clinton era anyway). It has shone a light on how #Zionists treat Palestinians, particularly children. And then threatening nations over the UN vote. Well done Lourde, you are “informed”.

          Don't Hamas use schools to hide their weapons and use children as human shields? But go point the finger at Israel right? Because that's the popular thing to do. Is your ignorance bliss?

          Considering the position Israel are in I think they show great restraint! Surrounded by countries that openly admit to wanting to destroy them. It's not Israel who objected to the two state solution it was Palastine. They have failed and continue to fail to recognise Israel.

          3 assassination attempts on #Rabin before he was finally killed by Israeli settler #YigalAmir. I take it they didn’t want the #OsloAccords to succeed? And in 2011, Abbas said #Palestine recognises #Israel in The Hague. Israel ignored this. Why?pic.twitter.com/t3ikUlkJFo

          Hamas, a terrorist orginisation. All you need to know really. What was that Palestinians quote again? We enjoy death more than Israel enjoy life? Basically, they will never stop trying to kill Israelis. As previously stated, Israel show great constraint considering.

          Abbas is the head of Fatah. #Israel has been committing terrorist acts for decades. You even made an #Irgun terrorist your PM. Remember who bombed the #KingDavidHotel? What happened at #DeirYassin? Or #Nakba?pic.twitter.com/oBWQGGCLU4

          It took the world a while to realize what that nazis really were, the same is happening with palestinians. Dozens of their organizations are on western terror lists and for a very good reason.

          Yes, Lorde is doing the right thing! It would have been easier to just "go with the program". Her thoughtful decision is appreciated. What the US did was WRONG!
