Lauryn Hill 'May Cancel Israel Show'

BDS movement pressuring R&B, soul and hip hop singer-songwriter to cancel her planned performance in Israel.

R&B, soul and hip hop singer-songwriter Lauren Hill may cancel her planned show in Israel, scheduled for May 7 at Rishon Letzion.

Producers of the show in Israel told Walla! News that they have received messages in recent days signalling that Hill wants to cancel the performance, and that they are making “massive efforts” to avert this.

Hill is under pressure from the anti-Israel “BDS” (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement that compares Israel to apartheid-era South Africa.

“The presence of artists is routinely used by Israel to legitimize its policies and maintain its reputation as a normal member of the international community,” the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation said in an action alert urging people to press Hill to boycott Israel.
